SECURE THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD when the drill press is not in use to
prevent unauthorized use of the tool and/or to prevent children from acciden-
tally turning it on.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION about the proper use of bench-mounted drill
presses is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue,

Institute (ANSI) 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the
U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING THIS DRILL PRESS OR OTHER
POWER TOOLS. Never try to perform drilling operations on work pieces that are
too large to be clamped to the worktable or vises. Keep this manual and refer to it
often to ensure proper operation and prevent unnecessary accidents or injuries.

DISCONNECT THE DRILL PRESS POWER CORD FROM THE AC OUTLET before
making adjustments to the worktable, clamps, vises, work pieces, changing drill
bits, or changing the speed of the drill motor preventing the tool from acciden-
tally turning on. Failure to adhere to this step could result in
damage to both the work piece and the drill press as well as possible severe
injury to the operator.
THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE DRILL PRESS before changing types of work
pieces. Combining wood and metal dust can result in an explosion or fire. CON-
SULT EXPERT advice before drilling in work pieces made of magnesium. The
friction generated by the drill bit could 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.
NEVER PERFORM DRILLING OPERATIONS NEAR FLAMMABLE GAS OR
LIQUIDS. The resulting fire and/or explosion could cause permanent serious
injuries to the operator and damage to the drill press and surrounding work area.
ALWAYS KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the work piece while
it is on the table and the drill press is turned on. Severe injury could result.
ALWAYS CLAMP THE WORK PIECE FIRMLY AGAINST THE WORK TABLE.
Never attempt to hold the workpiece by hand. The drill bit can seize in the work
piece causing it to spin rapidly. This will cause loss of control of the work piece
resulting in severe injuries or damage to the work piece and drill press.
NEVER APPLY A COOLANT directly to the work piece while it is in contact with
the drill bit. Coolant can weaken the makeup of the drill bits causing them to fail.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT OR ASSEMBLY to work pieces in front of the drill
press while it is still running. A sudden slip could bring hands in contact with
the moving parts of the drill press resulting in injury to the operator.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Ensure the “ON/OFF” switch
is set to the “OFF” position before plugging the power cord into the AC outlet.
TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH on the drill press to the “OFF” position and unplug
the power cord from the electrical receptacle when the drilling operations are
finished. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the drill press making it ready
for the next use.
NEVER LEAVE THE DRILL PRESS RUNNING UNATTENDED. when finished with
a drilling operation, turn “off” the drill press and wait until it comes to a
complete stop.
