clamping ledge around the outside edge of
the table.

Table Arm to support, and Table to Table
Arm before operating drill press.
-- Never move the Head or Table while the
toot is running.
-- Before starting the operation, jog the motor
switch to make sure the drill or other cutting
toot does not wobble or cause vibration.
-- If a workpiece overhangs the table such that
it witt fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the
table or provide auxiliary support.

iNSTALLING DRILLS
Insert drill into chuck far enough to obtain maximum
GRIPPING of the CHUCK JAWS . • . the jaws are
approx. 1" long. When using a small drill do not insert
it so far that the jaws touch the flutes (spiral grooves)
of the drill.
Make sure that the drill is CENTERED in the chuck
before tightening the chuck with the key.
Tighten the drill sufficiently, so that it does not SLIP
while drilling.
Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten--coun-
terclockwise to loosen.
