SAFETY
Additional Safety for Drill Presses
1. EYE/FACE/HAND PROTECTION. A face shield used with safety glasses is recommended. Always keep
hands and fingers away from the drill bit. Never hold a workpiece by hand while drilling! DO NOT
wear gloves when operating the drill.
2. SECURING BIT. Properly tighten and securely lock the drill bit in the chuck.
3. CORRECT BIT. Use only round, hex, or triangular shank drill bits.
4. ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the
machine ON.
5. DRILLING SHEET METAL. Never drill sheet metal unless it is securely clamped to the table.
6. SURFACE/WORKPIECE PREP. Never turn the drill press ON before clearing the table of all objects
(tools, scrap wood, etc.) DO NOT drill material that does not have a flat surface, unless a suitable
support is used.
7. DAMAGED TOOLS. Never use drill bits in poor condition. Dull or damaged drill bits are hard to con-
trol and may cause serious injury.
8. DRILL OPERATION. Never start the drill press with the drill bit pressed against the workpiece.
Feed the drill bit evenly into the workpiece. Back the bit out frequently to clear deep holes.
9. CLEARING CHIPS. Turn the machine OFF and clear chips and scrap pieces with a brush. Disconnect
power, remove drill bit, and clean table before leaving the machine.
10. OPERATING SPEED. Always operate your drill press at speeds that are appropriate for the drill bit
size and the material that you are drilling.
11. MOUNTING WORKPIECES. Use clamps or vises to secure workpiece before drilling. Position work so
you avoid drilling into the table.
12. TABLE LOCK. Make sure the table lock is tightened before starting the drill press.
13. MAINTENANCE/SPEED CHANGES. Never change speeds or do maintenance with the machine con-
nected to power.
14. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (360) 734-3482.
