WARNING: For your own safety, do not attempt to

operate your drill press untiBit is completely assem-
bled and installed according to the instructions

• , , and until you have read and understand the

following:

2. Getting to Know Your Drit! Press ........ 12

3. Basic Drill Press Operation ............. 15

4. Adjustments .......................... 17

5. Maintenance .......................... 18

6. Stability of Drill Press
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or
move during certain operations, the drill press

should be bolted to the floor. An alternate is to
securely bolt a flat piece of 1/2"exterior plywood

large enough to stabilize the drill press to the under-
side of the Base. extending to both sides, and to
rear if desired. Make sure the plywooo won't trip
the operator. Do not use pressed wood panels -
they can break unexpectedly.

If the workpiece _s 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, in a poorly lit area
or where the surface could cause trips, slips orfalls.

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 listed on page 2!.

9. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears and Body

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. 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 tool, 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 column

- if it is too short or the table is tilted, clamp
solidly to the table. Use table slots or clamp-
ing ledge around the outside edge of the

table.
A drill press VICE must always be fastened

to the table.

--Never perform any operation "FREE-.

HAND" (hand-holding workpiece rather
than supporting it on the tabie_ except

when polishing.

-- 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 _r_e

tool is running

-- Before starting the operation jog the motor

switch to make sure the drill or other cutting

too! does not have excessive runout •¢_Ob..

Die} or cause vibration.

If a workpiece overhangs the table such
that it wil! 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 panel on the left side
of the head for drilling information: for ac-
cessories, refer to the instructions provided

with the accessories.

f. Never climb on the drill press Table. i! could

break or pul! the entire drill press down on you

g, Turn the motor Switch Off and eut away the

Switch Key when leaving the drill press.

h. To avoid injur_ from thrown work or tooi contact.

do NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting too! is rotating.

10. Use only accessories designed for this driJl

press to avoid serious injury from thrown bro,-
ken parts or work pieces.

a. Holesaws must NEVER be operated on this dri!l

press at a speed greater than 400 RPM.

b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on this

drill press at a speed greater than 1800 RPM.

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 com-

monplace. Always remember that a careless frac-

tion of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
ot_jects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles com-

plying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) oefore
commencing power tool operation. Safety Goggles are
