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.

approximate{y 34 in. from the floor for average drilling

operations.

CHUCK KEY ... is used to tighten or loosen the chuck. It
has a spring loaded EJECTOR pin to "pop" it out of the
chuck when you let go of it. This action is designed to

preclude throwing of the chuck key from the chuck when
power is turned "ON". Do not use any other key as a

substitute, order a new one if damaged or lost. When not in

use, ALWAYS store the key in the hole in the table.
CHUCK LOCKING COLLAR .,. draws the chuck onto

the spindle nose.

It prevents the chuck from coming loose during operation,

ALWAYS have the collar tightened.

basic drill press operation

We recommend the following instructions for operating
your drill press so that you get the best results and to

minimize the likelihood of personal injury,

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

1. Check spindle speed

2. Before operating, turn the switch "on" then "'off" to
make sure that the cutting tool is centered in the chuck

iNSTALLiNG DRILLS

Insert drill into chuck far enough to obtain maximum

GRIPPING of the CHUCK JAWS .., the jaws are appox. 1

in. long. When using a small drill do not insert it so far that
the jaws touch the flutes {spiral grooves) of the drill.

Make sure that the drill is CENTERED in the chuck before

tightening the chuck with the key.

Tighten the drill sufficiently, so that it does not SLIP while
drilling.

properly and that the cutting tool is not causing
excessive vibration.

3,

Never perform any operation freehand (hand-holding

workpiece rather than supporting it on table) except

when wire brushing or polishing,

4. Keep your hands clear of the cutting tool (drill, shaper
cutter or router bit).

,5. Make sure quill is locked securely when shaping,

routing, dovetailing, wirebrushing, polishing sanding or
surface planing.

/

POSITIONING TABLE AND WORKPIECE

Lock the table to the column in a position so that the tip of
the drill is just a little above the top of the workpiece. It is
not necessary to reposition the TABLE SUPPORT
COLLAR each time you reposition the table. Always keep

the collar locked about 34 in. from the floor.

Always place a piece of BACK-UP MATERIAL (wood,

plywood ...) on the table underneath the workpiece. This
will prevent "splintering" or making a heavy burr on the
underside of the workpiece as the drill breaks through.

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.

CAUTION: To prevent the workpiece or the back-up

material from being torn from your hand while drilling,

position them against the left side of the column. Failure to

do this could result in personal injury.

CAUTION: If the workpiece or the back-up material are
not long enough to reach the column, CLAMP them to the

table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.

For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a
dritt press vise (Optional accessory). The vise must oe

clamped or bolted to the table.
