Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.
If the drill press must be used outside, use an extension cord labeled “W-A” or “W.”
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the chances of electrical shock.
If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry
the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experi-
ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord (see table below).

DRILLING METAL
Always use clamps or a vise when drilling metal. The
workpiece should never be held in place by hand.
The drill bit could seize in the metal at any time, especially when breaking through
the backside of the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to spin out of the
operator’s hand. The drill bit will be broken when the workpiece strikes the column.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the workpiece, the drill
press, and severe or permanent injury to the operator.
CONSULT EXPERT ADVICE BEFORE DRILLING IN WORK PIECES MADE OF MAG-
NESIUM. The friction generated by the drill bit could cause the magnesium to ignite
resulting in a very intense fire that could cause severe burns to the operator and/or
seriously damage the drill press.
The workpiece must be clamped firmly while drilling. Tilting, twisting, or shifting not
only results in a rough-drilled hole, but increases the risk of breaking the drill bit.
For flat work, place the workpiece on a piece of scrap wood and clamp tightly to the
worktable to prevent it from turning. If the shape of the workpiece is irregular and
cannot be placed flat on the table, it should be securely blocked and clamped before
attempting to use the drill press.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
LASER MAINTENANCE
For the best laser performance, perform the following maintenance regularly:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Carefully clean sawdust from each laser lens. Do not use solvents of any kind
since they may damage the lens. Dust build-up can block the laser and prevent
it from accurately indicating the line of drilling.
ACCESSORIES
Optional accessories for the drill press can include wire-brush wheels that can be
used for cleaning and layered cloth wheels that can be used for polishing and buff-
ing. Contact ALLTRADE Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) to find out
what accessories are available for the drill press.
Only use accessories that are designed to fit your partic-
ular drill press. These accessories should be specifically labeled to match
the speed and arbor size of the drill. Failure to use the proper accessories
could result in property damage, damage to the grinder, and serious person-
al injury to the operator.
