MANUAL INSTRUCTION
SAFETY RULES
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine not be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to a particular application, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to determine if it can or should be performed on the product.

2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
4.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it “on”.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
6.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.
7.KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

10.USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
11.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
12.ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Note: Approved glasses have Z87 printed or stamped on them.
13.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

20.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure 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.
21.DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
22.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
23.DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
24.MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted, connected or re-connected.
25.THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood products can be injurious to your health. Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever possible.
26.
WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known 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.

1.DO NOT operate your drill press until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions.
2.IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of drill presses, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.

4.NEVER turn the drill press “ON” before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scrap pieces, etc.).
5.NEVER start the drill press with the drill bit or cutting tool in contact with the workpiece.
6.USE ONLY drill bits, cutters, sanding drums and other accessories with 1/2" shank or less.
7.ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from the drill bit or cutting tool.
8.DO NOT ATTEMPT to drill material that does not have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.
9.AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the drill bit or cutting tool.
