SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
n KEEP BITS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp bits minimize
stalling. Dirty and dull bits may cause misalignment of
the material and possible operator injury.
n KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM WORK AREA. Keep hands
away from the bit. Restrain any loose clothing, jewelry,
long hair, etc. that may become entangled in the bit.
n DO NOT wear gloves, necktie, or loose clothing.
n ALWAYS CLAMP WORKPIECE AND BRACE AGAINST
COLUMN TO PREVENT ROTATION. Never use your
hand to hold the object while drilling.
n USE RECOMMENDED SPEED FOR DRILL
ACCESSORY AND WORKPIECE MATERIAL.
n BE SURE DRILL BIT OR CUTTING TOOL IS SECURELY
LOCKED IN THE CHUCK.
n BE SURE CHUCK KEY IS REMOVED from the chuck
before connecting to power source or turning power
ON.
n ADJUST THE TABLE OR DEPTH STOP TO AVOID
DRILLING INTO THE TABLE. Shut off the power, remove
the drill bit, and clean the table before leaving machine.
n DO NOT CONNECT TOOL TO POWER SOURCE OR
OPERATE UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND
INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. If
any part of your drill press malfunctions or has been
damaged or broken, do not operate until the part is
properly repaired or replaced.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
n NEVER PLACE YOUR FINGERS IN A POSITION WHERE
THEY COULD CONTACT THE DRILL or other cutting
tool if the workpiece should unexpectedly shift.
n NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION by moving the
head or table with respect to one another. Do not turn the
motor switch ON or start any operation before checking
that the head and table support lock handle is clamped
tight to column and head and table support collars are
correctly positioned.
n BEFORE ENGAGING THE POWER SWITCH ON, MAKE
SURE THE BELT GUARD IS DOWN AND THE CHUCK
IS INSTALLED PROPERLY.
n LOCK THE MOTOR SWITCH OFF WHEN LEAVING THE
DRILL PRESS. Do not perform layout, assembly, or set-
up work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating,
switched on or connected to a power source.
n SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently
and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
tool, loan them these instructions also.
