VsARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
E YOUR DRILL PRESS UNTIL IT IS COM-
PLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORD-
ING 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 ........ 17
3. Basic Drill Press Operation ............. 23
4. Adjustments .......................... 25
5. Maintenance .......................... 26
6. Stability of Drill Press
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or
move during any use, bolt it to the floor or a flat
piece of !/S' exterior plywood large enough to
stabilize the drill press. Bolt the plywood to the
underside of the Base, so it extends at least to
both sides. Make sure the plywood won't trip the
operator. Do not use pressed wood panels-
they can break unexpectedly.
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
A kickback occurs when the workpiece is suddenly
thrown in the OPPOSITE direction to the DIREC-
TION OF FEED: THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS IN-
JURY. Kickbacks are most commonly caused by
use of accessories NOT recommended for this tool.
9. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears and Body
WARNING: TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO
THE SPINNING TOOL --
1. Do NOT wear:
-- gloves
-- necktie
-- loose clothing
-- jewelry
2. Do tie back long hair
a. If any part of your drill press is missing, malfunc-
tioning, has been damaged or broken,., such
as the motor switch, or other operating control,
a safety device or the power cord , . . cease
operating immediately 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. Toavoid injury from parts thrown by the spring,
follow instructions exactly as given and shown
in adjusting spring tension of quill.

tool. shattering the tool or being thrown, -_
always properly support your work so
it won't shift or bind on the tool:
o_
-- 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 VICE. always fas-
ten it to the table.
-- Never do any work "FREEHAND" (hand-
holding workpiece rather than supporting it
on the table), except when polishing.
i Securely lock Head and Support to Column,
Table Arm to support, and Table to Table
Arm 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 label inside 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 pull the 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, as-
sembly, or setup work on the table while
the cutting tool is rotating.
10. Use only accessories designed for this
drill press to avoid serious injury from
thrown broken parts or work pieces.
