drill press, use proper circuit protection, Do not expose
to rain, or use in a damp environment,
The drill press is factory wired for 120V, 60 Hz, opera-
tion, Connect to a 120V, 15 amp branch circuit and use
a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker, The electri-
cal circuit cannot have any wire size less than #14, To
avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it
is damaged in any way,

ed area and provide for proper dust removal, Use
dust collection system whenever possible,
Exposure to the dust may cause serious and per-
manent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis
(a serious lung disease), cancer, and death, Avoid
breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact
with dust, Allowing dust to get into your mouth or
eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of
harmful material, Always use properly fitting
NIOSH/OBHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash
exposed areas with soap and water,
5,
ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and
organized, DO NOT work in an environment with
floor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease,

Use of incorrect or improper accessories could
cause serious injury to the operator and cause
damage to the tool, if in doubt, check the instruction
manual that comes with that particular accessory,
GUIDEUNES FOR
EXTENSUON CORDS
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger diameter of
the extension cord, if in doubt of the proper size of an
extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord, An
undersized cord wiii cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in a loss of power and overheating, USE ONLY A
3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG
GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
if you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use,
Be sure your extension cord is property sized, and
in good electrical 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,
120 VOLT OPERATION ONLY
26, USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION, When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw, Please see "MiNiMUM
RECOMMENDED GAUGE FOR EXTENSION
CORDS (AWG)" table for correct sizing of an exten-
sion cord, if in doubt, use the next heavier gauge,
27, WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry, These items
can get caught in the machine during operations
and pull the operator into the moving parts, Users
must wear a protective cover on their hair, if the
hair is long, to prevent it from contacting any
moving parts,

THINSTOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHmLEmNUSE
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRmC
SHOCK.
mNTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTmON OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of Ueastresistance
for eUectriccurrent and reduces the risk of eUectric
shock. This tooUis equipped with an eUectric cord that
has an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing pUug.The pUugMUST be pUuggedinto a matching
eUectdcaUreceptacle that is propedy installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL UocaUcodes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. ff it wHUnot
fit the eUectdcaUreceptacUe, have the proper eUectdcaU
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip°
ment-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. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMED-
IATELY.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED MACHINES
INTENDED FOR USE ON A SUPPLY CIRCUIT HAVING
A NOMINAL RATING LESS THAN 150 VOLTS.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE 1-1. FIGURE
1-1 shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical recep-
tacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly
grounded electrical receptacle is not available, an
adapter as shown in FIGURE 1-2 can be used to tem-
porarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded
receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it
that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground,
such as a properly grounded receptacle box. THIS
ADAPTER IS PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are
not sure, have a certified electrician check the electrical
receptacle.
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.
The motor supplied with your Drill Press is a dual
voltage 120/240 volts, 60 hertz alternating current,
single phase motor, It is shipped wired for 120 volts
application, Never connect the green or ground wire to

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The operation of any drill press can result in debris
being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any
power tool can throw debris during operations, which
could cause severe and permanent eye damage.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.
ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that comply with ANSI
standard Z87.1) when operating power tools. Safety
Goggles are available at Sears Retail Stores.
Basic precautions should always be followed when
using your drill press. To reduce the risk of injury, ebc-
trical shock or fire, comply with the safety rules listed
below:
1. READ and understand the instruction manual
before operating the drill press.
2, AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a serious
injury.
3. CHECK all drill bits, cutting tools, sanding drums, or
other accessories for damage before installing in
the drill press chuck. Damaged items can cause
damage to the drill press and or serious injury.
4. Before leaving the drill press, LOCK or REMOVE
the ON/OFF switch/key to prevent unauthorized
use,
5, DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds
7-inches in length or that extends 6-inches below
the chuck jaws. The drill bit can suddenly bend or
break.
6. DO NOT try to drill a workpiece that is too small to
be securely held to the table or in a vise.
7. DO NOT operate this drill press until it is assembled
and installed according to the instruction manual.
8. DO NOT leave the drill press plugged into the ebc-
trical outlet. Unplug the drill press from the outlet
when not in use and before servicing, changing bits
and cleaning.
9. DO NOT USE router bits, shaper cutters, circle (fly)
cutters, rotary planers or wire wheels in this drill
press.
10. FOLLOW all electrical and safety codes, including
the National Electric Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Regulations
(OSHA). All electrical connections and wiring should
be made by qualified personnel only.
11, LET THE CHUCK REACH FULL SPEED before
starting drill operations,
12, MAKE SURE there are no foreign objects, nails,
stones in the workpiece.
13, NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY OR
SETUP WORK on the tabb/work area when the
drill press is running,
14, NEVER START THE DRILL PRESS BEFORE
CLEANING THE TABLE OF ALL OBJECTS (tools,
scrap pieces, etc.). Debris can be thrown at high
speed.
15. NEVER START THE DRILL PRESS with the drill
bit, cutting tool, or sanding drum against the work-
piece. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause
serious injury,
16, OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR,
instructor, or another qualified person if you are not
familiar with the operation of this drill press,
17, PROPERLY SUPPORT long or wide workpiece and
clamp to the table,
18, PROPERLY SECURE the drill bit, cutting tool, or
sanding drum in the chuck before operating the drill
press,
19, REPLACE a damaged cord immediately, DO NOT
use a damaged cord or plug, if the drill press is not
operating properly, or has been damaged, left out-
doors or has been in contact with water, return it to
a Sears Service Center,
20, SECURE the drill press to the floor or work bench,
Vibration can cause the drill press to slide, walk or
tip over,
