Kawasaki 840139 Drill User Manual


 
9. USE ONLY DRILL BITS, SANDING DRUMS, AND OTHER ACCESSORIES that
are designed for the various speeds of this drill press. The drill bits, sanding
drums and other accessories should have a shank size 1/2" OR SMALLER.
Unsuitable drill bits can break without warning throwing fragments outward at
high speeds possibly causing severe injuries. Contact Alltrade Customer
Service at 1-800-423-3598 (toll free) for authorized drill bit specifications.
10.USE RECOMMENDED SPEED for drill accessory and workpiece material.
11.DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. The drill press will do a better job and be safer if
drilling operations are performed at the proper speeds as expressed in this
manual.
12.USE ONLY THE CHUCK KEY THAT IS PROVIDED with the drill press or a
duplicate of it to reliably secure the drill bit inside the chuck.
13.REMOVE CHUCK KEYS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENT TOOLS from the areas
around the drill press before turning the power switch to the “ON” position.
14.DO NOT USE A DRILL BIT THAT WOBBLES OR VIBRATES. Visually inspect the
drill bits before they contact the work piece ensuring there are no side-to-side
movements. Should the drill bit wobble from side-to-side or if the tip appears
broken, replace them immediately. If the vibration still exists, check the bear-
ings and the motor shaft and repair or replace them as soon as possible.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause severe damage to both the work piece and
the drill press.
15.ADJUST THE TOOL TABLE BEFORE EACH USE. The tool table should be tight-
ened and placed at the proper angle for the drilling job before the drill press is
put into use. If not properly adjusted, the work piece can unexpectedly move
causing the drill bit to seize resulting in damage to it or possible severe injury
to the operator.
16.DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRILL PRESS when it is first
turned on. Loose fragments could fly off at high speeds possibly causing
injury.
17.PROPERLY SUPPORT EXTRA LONG OR EXTRA WIDE WORK PIECES. Work
pieces that are too long or tool wide can tip and cause the drill bit to seize
resulting in a sudden whipping motion resulting in damage to the work piece
and drill press as well as possible severe injury to the operator.
18.NEVER START THE DRILL PRESS WITH THE WORK PIECE IN CONTACT WITH
THE DRILL BIT. The sudden start-up of the drill bit could cause it to seize
resulting in a sudden, rapid spinning motion that could damage the work piece,
the drill press, and/or serious injury to the operator.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL PRESSES
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. If there
are instructions in this manual that are not completely understood, seek the
advice of a trained professional or contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-
590-3723 before attempting to perform the procedures. Failure to follow all
instructions listed in this manual may result in property damage, damage to the
tool, or serious personal injury or even death.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS DRILL PRESS until it is completely assembled accord-
ing to the instructions in this manual. Failure to adhere to these instructions
could result in serious and/or permanent injury to the operator.
2. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES. Use only properly grounded three-hole ground-
ed receptacles. DO NOT cut the third prong off the power cord. When using an
extension cord, use only UL Listed extension cords with minimum 16 AWG
wiring and a maximum length of 25 feet. See ELECTRICAL SAFETY section in
this manual.
3. MAKE SURE APPROVED EYE PROTECTION IS BEING WORN and properly
adjusted and secured at all times the drill press is in use. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses and ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety glasses
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Approved safety glasses and
goggles will have Z87 printed or stamped on them.
4. KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN, AND VISITORS at a safe distance from the
drill press while it is in operation. Distractions can cause inadvertent misuse
resulting in possible injury to the bystanders or to the operator.
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other apparel that could possibly become caught in the moving
parts of the drill press. When working in a shop environment around power
tools, wear nonslip footwear. Use protective hair covering to contain long hair.
6. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN AT ALL TIMES. Cluttered areas around the drill
press can cause unexpected accidents if the debris comes in contact with the
moving parts of the drill press.
7. MAINTAIN A PROPER WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the drill press in
damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water can cause the electrical
components to malfunction resulting in damage to the drill press and/or
serious injury or death to the operator.
8. ALWAYS USE APPROVED TABLE CLAMPS AND VICES to clamp work pieces to
the drill press table to prevent breakage, damage to the drill press, the work
piece, and possible severe injury to the operator. Contact Alltrade Customer
Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) for authorized accessories.
