additional safety instructions for drill presses
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR DRILL PRESS UNTIL
8T IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND nNSTALLED
ACCORDING TO THE RNSTRUCTIONS . .. AND UNTIL
YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
FOLLOWING:

Stability of Drill Press
If there is any tendency for the drill press to tip over or
move during certain operations such as shaping, the drill
press should be bolted to the floor.
If the workpiece is too large to support with one hand,
provide an auxiliary support.
7,
Location
The drill press should be positioned so 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 DIRECTION
OF FEED; WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
Kickbacks are most commonly caused by:
a. Relaxing your grip of the workpiece while
shaping or routing.
b. Taking too heavy a cut while shaping or routing.
c. Ignoring the instructions for shaping or routing.
9.
Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY DON'T
WEAR GLOVES WHEN OPERATING A DRILL
PRESS
a. If any part of your drill press is malfunctioning,
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. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANS
Z87.1, and a face shield if operation is dusty.
Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods
of operation.
c. Never place your fingers in a position where
they could contact the drill or other cutting
tool (router bit, shaper cutter, etc.) if the
workpiece should unexpectedly shift. (For
instance, hold-down/push blocks must be used
when shaping on the drill press to keep hands
remote from the cutter if a kickback should
Occur.)
d. Never operate drill press with protective cover
on the unused shaft end of the motor removed.
e. Position workpiece to butt against the column
whenever possible - if it is too short, clamp
solidly to the Table - this is to prevent the drill
bit from grabbing the work from your hands,
which could result in personal injury. A drill
press vise must be fastened to the table.
f. Never perform any operation "free-hand"
(hand-holding workpiece rather than support it
on the Table), except wire brushing and
polishing - Wear Safety Goggles!
g- Never perform internal or curved shaping
operations. Perform straight line shaping ONLY
(with the Shaper Fence Accessory).
h. Never perform any operation by moving the
Head or Table with respect to one another. Do
not pull the motor switch "ON" or start any
operation before checking that Head and Table
Lock Handles are clamped tight to Column, and
Head and Table Support Collars are correctly
positioned.
i. Before pulling the rnotor switch "ON", be
positive the belt guard is down, the Chuck is
installed properly, and the drill or other cutting
tool is securely clamped in the chuck.
j. Before starting the operation, jog the motor
switch to be sure the drill or other cutting tool
does not have excessive runout or cause
vibration.
k. Do not operate the Drill Press unless the Depth
Stop and Stop Nut are installed and the Depth
Stop clamped to the Depth Stop Rod.
I. Never pull out on the hub of the quill Hub
Assembly unless you first grasp and support the
Quill, otherwise the Quill will drop and damage
may result.
m. Use the spindle speed recommended for the
specific operation and workpiece material -
refer to panel on right side of the Head for
drilling information, and for accessories, to the
instruction sheets that accompany the
accessories.
n. If workpiece overhangs the Table such that it
will fall to floor if unsupported, clamp it to the
Table or provide auxiliary support.
o. Use fixtures for. unusual operations to
adequately hold, guide and position workpiece
for best quality and minimum hazard.
p. Be sure to lock Quill securely for all routing,
sanding, surfacing, shaping, and dovetailing
operations.
q. Never climb on the drill press Table.
r. Lock the motor Switch and put away the Key
when leaving the drill press.
s. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup
work on the table while the cutting toot is
rotating.
10. Use only accessories designed for this drill press.
a. Holesaws must NEVER be operated on this drill
press at a speed greater than 380 RPM.
b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on this
drill press at a speed greater than 720 RPM.
c. Do not exceed the speed recommended for the
drill size in wood when using the mortising bit
and chisel.
(See chart on R.H. trim panel of the drill press.)
d. Do not instatl or use any drill that exceeds 7" in
iength or extends 6" below the chuck jaws.
11. Note and Follow the Safety Rules that Appear on the
Panel on the Left Side of the Head:
DANGER: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY: 1, READ AND UNDER-
STAND OWNERS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.
2. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES. 3, DO NOT WEAR GLOVES,
NECKTIE OR LOOSE CLOTHING- 4. SECURELY CLAMP WORK
TO TABLE IF tT iS TOO SHORT TO CONTACT THE COLUMN
WHEN iN OPERATING POSITION. 5. USE RECO_MENDED SPEED
FOR DRILL, ACCESSORY AND WORKPtECE MATERIAL
12. Think Safety. Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at atl times when the dr{(I
press is being used.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILOARITY (GAINED
FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR DRILL PRESS) TO
BECOME COMMONPLACE. ALWAYS REMEMBER
THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS
SUFF_CIENT TO _NFL_CT SEVERE INJURY.
