WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR DRILL PRESS
UNTIL IT !S COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND
iNSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUC-
TIONS...AND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND

5. Maintenance .............................. 18
6. Stability of Dri!l Press
The drill press should be bolted to the floor;
an alternate is to securely bolt a piece of
1t2" exterior plywood to the underside of the
Base, extending to both sides, and to rear if
desired.
If the workpiece is too large to support with
one hand, provide an auxiliary support.
Location
,
The drill press should be positioned so
neither the operator nor a casual observer is
forced to stand in line with a potential Kick-
back.
8. Kickback
A kickback occurs when the workpiece is
suddenly thrown in the OPPOSITE direction
to the DIRECTION OF FEED; THIS CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. Kickbacks are
most commonly caused by:
a. Relaxing your grip of the workpiece while
surfacing or planing.
b. Taking too heavy a cut while surfacing or
planing.
c. Ignoring the instructions for surfacing or
planing.
9. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO
NOT WEAR GLOVES, NECKT!E OR LOOSE
CLOTHING, AND TiE BACK LONG HAiR
WHEN OPERATING DRILL PRESS.
a. if any part of your drill press is malfunc-
tioning, has been damaged or broken...
such as the motor switch, or other operat-
ing control, a safety device or the power
cord.., cease operating immediately until
the particular part is properly repaired or
replaced.

ANSI Z87.1, and a face mask 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 if the workpiece should
unexpectedly shift.
d. To avoid injury, follow instructions exactly
as given and shown in adjusting spring
tension of quill.
e. ALWAYS position backup material to con-
tact the left side of the column. POSITION
workpiece to butt against the column
whenever possible--if it is too short,
clamp solidly to the Table. Use table slots
or clamping ledge around outside edge of
Table. This is to prevent the drill bit from
grabbing the work from your hands. This
action would cause the workpiece to spin
with the drill, and could cause serious
injury. A drill press vise must be fastened
to the table.
f. Never perform any operation "free-hand"
.(hand-holding workpiece rather than sup-
port it on the Table), except when polish-
ing -- Wear Safety Goggles!
g. Securely lock Head and Support to Co!-
umn, Arm to Support, and Table to Arm
before operating Drill Press.
h. Never perform any operation by moving
the Head or Table with respect to one
another.
i. Before pulling the motor switch "ON", be
positive the belt guard is closed, 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 toot does not have excessive run-
out or cause vibration.
k. Do not operate the Dril! Press unless the
Depth Stop and Stop Nut are installed.
I. Use the spindle speed recommended for
the specific operation and workpiece

a. Holesaws must NEVER be operated on
this drill press at a speed greater than 400
RPM.
b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated
on this drill press at a speed greater than
2300 RPM.
c. Do not install or use any drill that exceeds

OPERATING POSITION.
5. USE RECOMMENDED SPEED FOR DRILL, ACCES-
SORY, AND WORKPIECE MATERIAL.
6. SECURELY LOCK HEAD AND SUPPORT TO COL,
UMN, ARM TO SUPPORT, AND TABLE TO ARM
BEFORE OPERATING DRILL PRESS.
7. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
See right side of Head for specific placement

(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR
DRILL PRESS) TO BECOME COMMONPLACE.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS
FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO
INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.
The operation of any power tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can result n severe eye damage. Always
wear safety goggles corn;)lying with ANSI Z87.1
(shown on Package) before commencing power
tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at

motor specifications and electrical requirements
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
This drill press is designed to use a 1725 RPM
motor only. Do not use any motor that runs faster
than 1725 RPM. It is wired for operation on 110-
120 volts, 60 Hz., alternating current.
CAUTION: Do not use blower or washing machine
motors or any motor with an automatic reset
ovedoad protector as their use may be hazardous.
CON NECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This machine must De grounded while n use to
protect the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly ground-
ed type outlet protected by a 15-amp. dual ele-
ment time delay or Circuit-Saver fuse or circuit
breaker.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED, HAVE IT CHECKED BY
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH
THE TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN INSTALLING
OR REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE
OUTLET.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THiS
POWER TOOL CAN iNCUR THE POTENTIAL
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULAR.
LY WHEN USED iN DAMP LOCATIONS, iN PROXI-
MITY TO PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK
OCCURS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A SEC-
ONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CON.
TACTING THE CUTTING TOOL.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and grounding type plug which has a
grounding prong, approved by Underwriters'
Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Associ-
ation. The ground conductor has a green jacket
and is attached to the tool housing at one end
and to the ground prong in the attachment plug
at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor ground-
ed type outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this
power tool is of the two prong type, DO NOT
REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG
Ik ANY MANNER. Use an adapter as shown and
always connect the grounding tug to known
ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified elec-
trician replace the TWO prong outlet with a pro-
perly grounded THREE prong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for con-
necting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green
grounding lug extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as to
a properly grounded outlet box.

sion cords which have 3 prong grounding type
plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the
tools plug.
