SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THE DRILL PRESS
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use this Drill Press.
WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the Drill Press in until you have read and understood the following:
1.READ and become familiar with the entire Operator’s Manual. LEARN the tool’s application, limitations and possible hazards.
2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.
4.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5.DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
6.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.
7.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks.
8.DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9.USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power that will cause the tool to overheat.
11.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that may get caught in moving parts. Non-
slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
12.ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any Drill Press can throw foreign objects into the eyes that could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glasses). Everyday eyeglasses have only impactresistance lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
13.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
14.DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
15.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in OFF position before plugging in.
16.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the Operator’s Manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause serious injury.
2
17.NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
18.CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function – check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
19.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER “OFF”. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20.DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
21.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
22.DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
23.DO NOT OPERATE the tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that could affect your ability to use the tool properly.
24.ALWAYS operate the Drill Press in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection systems whenever possible. Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRILL PRESS
WARNING: For your own safety, do not try to use your drill press or plug it in until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions, and until you have read and understood this instruction manual.
1.THIS DRILL PRESS is intended for use in dry conditions, indoor use only.
2.WEAR EYE PROTECTION. USE a face or dust mask along with safety goggles if drilling operation is dusty. USE ear protectors, especially during extended periods of operation.
3.DO NOT wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.
4.DO NOT try to drill material too small to be securely held.
5.ALWAYS keep hands out of the path of a drill bit. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the drill bit.
6.DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175mm
in length or extends 150mm below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
7.DO NOT USE wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
8.WHEN cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is fully supported at the table height.
9.DO NOT perform any operation freehand. ALWAYS hold the workpiece firmly against the table so it will not rock or twist. Use clamps or a vise for unstable workpieces.
10.MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be drilled.
11.CLAMP THE WORKPIECE OR BRACE IT against the left side of the column to prevent rotation. If it is too short or the table is tilted, clamp it solidly to the table.
12.IF THE WORKPIECE overhangs the table such that it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary support.
13.SECURE THE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
14.MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly tightened before drilling.
15.SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD and table support to the column, and the table to the table support before operating the drill press.
16.NEVER turn your drill press ON before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
17.BEFORE STARTING the operation, jog the motor switch to make sure the frill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
18.LET THE SPINDLE REACH FULL SPEED before starting to drill. If your drill press makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates excessively, stop immediately, turn the drill press OFF and unplug. Do not restart the unit until the problem is corrected.
19.DO NOT perform layout assembly or set up work on the table while the drill press is in operation.
20.USE THE RECOMMENDED SPEED for any drill press accessory and for different workpiece material.
21.WHEN DRILLING large diameter holes, clamp the workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit may grab and spin the workpiece at high speeds. DO NOT USE fly cutters or multiple part hold cutters, as they can come apart or become unbalanced in use.
22.MAKE SURE the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching the workpiece.
23.TO AVOID INJURY from accidental starting, always turn the switch OFF and unplug the drill press before installing or removing any accessory or attachment or making any adjustment.
