However, the Limited Lifetime Warranty does not cover any product used for professionnal or commercial production purposes nor for industrial or educational applications. Such cases are covered by our Standard 2-year Limited Warranty only. The Limited Lifetime Warranty is also subject to the “Conditions and Exceptions” as listed below.
Standard 2-Year Limited Warranty
All products not covered by our lifetime warranty including products used in commercial, industrial and educational applications are warranted for a period of 2 years (24 months) from the date of purchase. General® and General® International agree to repair or replace any part or component which upon examination, proves to be defective in either workmanship or material to the original purchaser during this 2-year warranty period, subject to the “conditions and exceptions” as listed below.

For further details call our service department at 1-888- 949-1161 or your local distributor for assistance when filing your claim.
Along with the return of the product being claimed for warranty, a copy of the original proof of purchase and a “letter of claim” must be included (a warranty claim form can also be used and can be obtained, upon request, from General® International or an authorized distributor) clearly stating the model and serial number of the unit (if applicable) and including an explanation of the complaint or presumed defect in material or workmanship.

Repairs made without the written consent of General® Internationallwill void all warranty.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that may result from improper use of its equipment.
1.Do not operate the drill press when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2.The working area should be well lit, clean and free of debris.
3.Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the drill press is in operation; do not permit them to operate the drill press.
4.Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5.Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
6.Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector and wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.
7.Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or other jewelry while the drill press is in operation.
8.Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface before operating.
9.Keep hands well away from the drill bit and all moving parts. Use a hold-down or clamp to secure the stock, and use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and dust.
10.Be sure that the drill bit is securely installed in the chuck before operation.
11.Be sure the drill bit has gained full operating speed before beginning to drill.
12.Always use a clean, properly sharpened bit. Dirty or dull bits are unsafe and can lead to accidents.
13.Use suitable work piece support if the work piece does not have a flat surface.
14.Do not push or force the bit into the stock. The drill will perform better and more safely when working at the rate feed for which it was designed.
15.Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not overreach and keep both feet on floor.
16.Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or cleaning be sure it is properly re-attached before using the tool again.
17.Never leave the machine unattended while it is running or with the power on.
18.Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL may result in equipment malfunction or risk of injury.
19.Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if the drill bit is unintentionally contacted.
20.Always disconnect the tool from the power source before servicing or changing accessories such as bits, or before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or if the machine will be left unattended.
21.Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord.
22.Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped with a 3-prong plug, it should be used with a threepole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
23.Do not use this drill press for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL disclaims any real implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which may result from that use.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
CONVERTING THE MOTOR TO 220V - 75-500 ONLY
Should you need to convert your machine’s motor from 110V to 220V power, there is an electrical schematic drawing on the inside of the motor cover plate. Unless you are a qualified electrician, we do not recommend attempting this conversion on your own. If you choose to do so, you may risk serious personal injury, damage to the motor and voiding the warranty of your machine.
We suggest you ask your local General International distributor to recommend qualified electricians in your area (or perhaps one of their own technicians) who can make this conversion properly and safely.
Note: If motor is converted to 220V, light bulb will not work.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3- prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the heavier the gauge.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Before proceeding with the assembly, read the operating and maintenance instructions manual and familiarize yourself with correct assembly, setup, maintenance and safety procedures.
TO AVOID RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY, MAKE SURE THE DRILL PRESS IS INSTALLED ON A FLAT, SOLID AND STABLE SURFACE.
1.Place the base (1) on a flat surface and screw the column (8), to the base.
2.Remove the rack ring (9) from the column (8).
3.Insert the rack (11) into the table bracket and position the 2 pieces onto the column at the same time. The bottom lip of the rack is pressed between the column and the flange. The top lip of the rack is similarly secured with the replacement of the rack ring (9). Tighten the set screw in the rack ring. Place the handle (10) on the worm gear and secure it with the hex head bolt.
4.Attach the head (2) to the column and tighten the head with the set screws (3).
5.Secure the table onto the table arm. (75-100/200 ONLY)
6.Attach the 3 feed handles, (4, 5 & 6), to the handle body (7).
7.If desired, install a max. 60 watt light bulb (not included) for the worklight (12).
Once assembled, clean the protective coating from all surfaces (where applicable) using a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations.) A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface, may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing painted surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remove paint.
