WARNING
To prevent the workpiece or backup material from being
torn from your hands while drilling, you MUST position
the workpiece against the LEFT side of the column. If the
workpiece or the backup material is not long enough to
reach the column, clamp them to the table, or use the
fence provided with the drill press to brace the workpiece.
Failure to secure the workpiece could result in personal
injury.
