WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
USE YOUR DRILL PRESS UNTIL IT IS COM-
PLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORD-
ING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS... AND UNTIL YOU

4. Adjustments .......................... 24
5. Maintenance .......................... 25
6. Stability of Drill Press
If there ts any tendency of the drill press to tilt or
move during any use, bolt It to the floor or a flat
piece of V2" exterior plywood large enough to
stabilize the drill press. Bolt the plywood to the
unders=de of the Base. so it extends at least to
both s_des. 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, prov=de 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
nsk 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, Earsand Body
WARNING: TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO
THE SPINNING TOOL --
1. Do NOT wear:
-- gloves

tioning, has been damaged or broken.., such
as the motor swdch, 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

switch to make sure the drill or other cutting
tool does not wobble or cause vibration.
-- If a workpiece overhangs the table such
thai it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to
the table or provide auxiliary support.

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
