SAFETY RULES
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain
hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possi-
bility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce
your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use com
-
mon sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure
that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine not be modified
and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to a particular applica-
tion, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to determine if it can or should be performed on the product.

the rate for which it was designed.
10. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job
for which it was not designed.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving
parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
12.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Wear safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they
are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI
Z87.1 requirements. Note: Approved glasses have Z87 printed
or stamped on them.
13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to

ucts can be injurious to your health. Always operate machinery in
well ventilated areas and provide for proper dust removal. Use
wood dust collection systems whenever possible.
26.
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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR DRILL PRESSES
1. DO NOT operate your drill press until it is complete-
ly assembled and installed according to the instructions.
2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the oper-
ation of drill presses, obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor or other qualified person.
3. YOUR DRILL PRESS MUST be securely fastened to
a stand, workbench or floor. If there is any tendency for
the stand or workbench to move during operation, the
stand or workbench MUST be fastened to the floor.
4. NEVER turn the drill press “on” before clearing the
table of all objects (tools, scrap pieces, etc.).
5. NEVER start the drill press with the drill bit or cut-
ting tool in contact with the workpiece.
6. USE ONLY drill bits, cutters, sanding drums, and
other accessories with 5/8 shank or less.
7. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from the drill
bit or cutting tool.
8. DO NOT ATTEMPT to drill material that does not
have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.
9. AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the drill bit or cutting
tool.
10. TO PREVENT ROTATION OF THE WORKPIECE,
ALWAYS clamp work securely to the table if it is too
short to contact the column (see “OPERATION” section
of this manual) or when using hole saw or cutting tools
larger than 1/2 in diameter.
11. WHENEVER POSSIBLE use clamps or vise to keep
workpiece from rotating with the drill bit or cutting tool.
12. USE recommended speed for drill, accessory or
work-piece material.

CONNECTING DRILL PRESS TO POWER SOURCE
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be
protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-
prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same charac-
teristics as indicated on the tool. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will dam-
age the motor.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your drill press is designed to use a 1720 RPM motor. It is wired at the factory for 110-120 Volts, 60 Hz alternating cur-
rent. Never use a motor that runs faster than 1720 RPM. Your drill press may be converted for 220-240 volt operation.
The conversion of your drill press for 220-240 volt operation must be done by qualified electrical personnel.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150
volts:
This tool is intended for use on a normal 120-volt circuit
and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrat-
ed in Fig. A.
If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary
adapter, shown in Fig. B, may be used for connecting the
3-prong grounding type plug to a 2-prong receptacle. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal
screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is
not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools: In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching out-
let that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the out-
let, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding con-
ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 -
250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an out-
let that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. C. The tool
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. C. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the tool
must be reconnected for use on a different type of elec-
tric circuit, the reconnection should be made by quali-
fied service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool
should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A CERTI-
FIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord
which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pole
receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct gauge to use
depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heav-
ier the cord.
