,_kWARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead-based paints,

- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

- Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Avoid prolonged contact

with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective

clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.

10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. 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 which will cause the tool
to overheat. The table on page 8 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier

the cord.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other

jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.

Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.

12.
O LWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

Any power tool can throw foreign objects

into the eyes and could cause permanent
eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not
glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

INTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR

BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of

shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that

has an equipment grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching

receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not

fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed

by a qualified electrician.

iMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor.

If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding

conductor to a live terminal.

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 cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
table above shows the correct size to use according to
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and
in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

CHECK with a quail ed electrician or service personnel

if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly

grounded.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

[a,WARNINGI

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should

be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is
rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the

motor.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A.

FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and
receptacle that has agrounding conductor. If a properly
grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter
(FIGURE B) can be used to temporarily connect this
plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter
(FIGURE B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. THE TEMPORARY

ADAPTER SHOULD BE USED ONLY UNTIL A
PROPER GROUNDED OUTLET CAN BE INSTALLED

BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded, If you are not sure, have
a certified electrician check the receptacle,

For your own safety, always read the SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS listed within this operator's manual.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION

I

To avoid being pulled into the power tool, do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. Always tie
back long hair.

1. If any part of your drill press is missing,
malfunctioning, damaged or broken, stop operation

immediately until that part is properly repaired or
replaced.

2. Never place your fingers in a position where they
could contact the drill bit or other cutting tool. The

workpiece may unexpectedly shift, or your hand
could slip.

3. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your
hands, thrown, spun by the tool, or shattered, always

properly support your workpiece as follows:
a. Always position BACKUP MATERIAL (used

beneath workpiece ) so that it contacts the left
side of the column, or use the fence provided and
a clamp to brace the workpieces.

b. Whenever possible, position the workpiece to

contact the left side of the column. If it is too short

or the table is tilted, use the fence provided or

clamp solidly to the table, using the table slots.

c. When using a drill press vise, always fasten it to

the table.

d. Never do any work freehand (hand-holding the

workpiece rather than supporting it on the table),
except when polishing or sanding.

e. Securely lock the head and support to the column,

the table arm to the support, and the table to the
table arm, before operating the drill press.

f. Never move the head or the table while the tool is

running.

g. Before starting an operation, jog the motor switch

to make sure the drill or other cutting tool does

not wobble or cause vibration.

h. If a workpiece overhangs the table so it will fall or

tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide

auxiliary support.

i. Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately

hold, guide, and position workpiece.

j. Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the

speci c operation and workpiece material. Check
the panel on the inside pulley cover or the chart

below for drilling speed information. For
accessories, refer to the instructions provided with
each accessory.

4. Never climb on the drill press table, it could break or
pull the entire drill press down on you.
