SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
DANGER: means if the safety information is not
followed someone will be seriously injured or killed.
WARNaNG: means if the safety information is not
followed someone could be seriously injured or
killed.
CAUTION: means if the safety information is not
followed someone might be injured.
WARNING: For your own safety, do not attempt
to operate your drill press untiJ it is completely
assembled and instalSed according to the
instructions.., and until you have read and
understand the following:
1. General Safety Instructions for Power Tools. 2
2. Getting to Know Your Drill Press ........ 15
3. Basic Drill Press Operation ............. 19
4. Adjustments .......................... 21
5. Maintenance .......................... 22
5. Stability of Drill Press
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or
move during any use, bolt it to the work bench.
If the workpiece is too large to easily support with
one hand, provide an auxiliary support,
7. Location
Use the drill press in a well lit area and on a level
surface clean and smooth enough to reduce the
risk of trips, slips, or falls. Use it where neither the
operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand
in line with a potential kickback.
8. Kickback
Kickback is the grabbing of the workpiece by the
rotating toot. The workpiece can be thrown at very
high speed in the direction of rotation. THIS CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. To reduce the possi-
bility of injury from kickback:
Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table whenever
possible.
Buffing or sanding wheels or drums should be con-
tacted on the side moving away from you, not the
side moving toward you.
Use only recommended accessories and follow the
instructions supplied with the accessory.
9. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears and Body
WARNmNG: To avoid being pulled into the
spinning tooa --
1. Do NOT wear:
-- gloves
-- necktie
-- loose clothing
-- jewelry
2. Do tie back long hair

a safety device or the power cord, turn the dril!
press off and unplug it until the particular part
is properly repaired or replaced.
b. Never place your fingers in a position where
they could contact the drill or other cutting tool
if the workpiece should unexpectedly shift or
your hand should slip.
c. To avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring,
follow instructions exactly as given and shown
in adjusting spring tension of quill.
d. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from
your hands, spinning of the toot, shattering the
tool or being thrown, always properly support
your work so it won't shift or bind on the tool:
-- Always position BACKUP MATERIAL (use
beneath the workpiece) to contact the left
side of the column.
,--, Whenever possible, position the WORK-
PIECE to contact the left side of the col-
umn-if it is too short or the table is tilted,
clamp solidly to the table. Use table slots
or clamping ledge around the outside edge
of the table.
-- When using a drill press WSE, always fas-
ten it to a table.
-- Never do any work "FREEHAND" (hand-
holding workpiece rather than supporting it
on the table), except when polishing.
-- Securely lock Head to Column, Table Sup-
port to Column, and Table to Table Support
before operating drill press.
-- Never move the Head or Table while the
tool is running.
-- Before starting the operation, jog the motor
switch to make sure the drill or other cutting
tool does not wobble or cause vibration.
-- If a workpiece overhangs the table such
that it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to
the table or provide auxiliary support.
-- Use fixtures for unusual operations to
adequately hold, guide and position work-
piece.
-- Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended
for the specific operation and workpiece
material--check the inside of the Belt
Guard for drilling information; for acces-
sories, refer to the instructions provided
with the accessories,
f. Never climb on the drill press Table, it could
break or pu!Ithe entire drill press down on you.
g. Turn the motor Switch Off and put away the
Switch Key when leaving the drill press.
h. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact,
do NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup
work on the table while the cutting tool is rotat-
ing.

10.Use only accessories designed for this drill
press to avoid serious injury from thrown bro-
ken parts or work pieces.
a. When Cutting Large Diameter Holes:
Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table. Other-
wise the cutter may grab and spin it at high
speed.
Use only one piece, cup-type, hole cutters.
DO NOT use fly cutters or multi-part hole cutters
as they can come apart or become unbalanced
in use.
Keep speed below 1,500 RPM.
b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on
this drill press at a speed greater than 1800
RPM.
c. Do not installor use any drill that exceeds 7" in
length or extends 6" below the chuck jaws. They
can suddenly bend outward or break.
d. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cut-
ters, circle (fly) cutters or rotary planers on this
drill press.
11. Note and Follow the Safety Warnings and in-
structions that Appear on the Panel on the
Right Side of the Head:
The operation of any power tool can result in for-
eign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
goggles comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
Package) before commencing power tool operation.
Safety Goggles are available at Sears retail stores.

13. Think Safety. Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when the
drill press is being used.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your drill press) to become
commonplace. Always remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
