SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE DRILL PRESS
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. YOUR DRILL PRESS MUST BE BOLTED securely to a
workbench. In addition, if there is any tendency for your
drill press to move during certain operations, bolt the
workbench to the floor.
2. THIS DRILL PRESS is intended for use in dry conditions,
indoor use only.
3. 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.
4. DO NOT wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.
14.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.
15.WHEN using a drill press vise, always fasten to the table.
16.MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly tightened
before drilling.
17.SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD and table support to the
column, and the table to the table support before
operating the drill press.
18.NEVER turn your drill press on before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.)
19.BEFORE STARTING the operation, jog the motor switch
to make sure the drill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
20.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. If do not restart the unit
until the problem is corrected.
5. DO NOT try to drill material too small to be securely held.
6. 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.
7. DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175 mm
(7") in length or extends 150 mm (6") below the chuck
jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
8. DO NOT USE wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters,
circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
9. WHEN cutting a large piece of material ,make sure it is
fully supported at the table height.
10.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.
11.MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
12.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 and use
the fence provided.
21.DO NOT perform layout assembly or set up work on the
table while the drill press is in operation.
22.USE THE RECOMMENDED SPEED for any drill press
accessory and for different workpiece material. READ
THE INSTRUCTIONS that come with the accessory.
23.WHEN DRILLING large diameter holes, clamp the
workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit may grap
and spin the workpiece at high speeds. DO NOT USE fly
cutters or multiple-part hole cutters, as they can come
apart or become unbalanced in use.
24.MAKE SURE the spindle has come to a complete stop
before touching the workpiece.
25.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.
26.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
27.USE ONLY THE SELF-EJECTING TYPE CHUCK KEY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE 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.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle
that has a grounding 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.
The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.
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.
This drill press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain
or use in damp locations.
3 Pro_% Plug
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE 3-
PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPT THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
GUIDELINES FOR 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 cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The table below 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.
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.
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical.
