power tool.
General safety instructions
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety
regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating
instructions to be found in this Manual. All persons who use
and service the machine have to be acquainted with this
Manual and must be informed about its potential hazards.
Children and infirm people must not use this tool. Children
should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in
which the tool is being used. It is also imperative that you
observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your

health and safety.
WARNING. When using power tools, basic safety
precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury. Also, please read
and heed the advice given in the additional important safety
instructions.
1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work
areas and benches invite accidents and injury.
2. Consider the environment in which you are working.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
the work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain.
Do not use power tools in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.

be kept well away from where you are working. Do not
let others in the vicinity make contact with the tool or
extension cord.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be
locked up out of reach.
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and
safer working at the rate for which it was designed.
6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small

8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs
should always be worn. A face or dust mask is also
required if the sanding operation creates dust.
9. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord to
disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
10. Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold
the work piece. It is safer than using your hand and

regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect
tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them
repaired by an authorised service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace them if
damaged. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
13. Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and

your finger on the switch.
16. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool
is used outdoors, use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use and are so marked.
17. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.
18. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check
that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly
damaged, carefully determine if it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment

of parts, proper mounting and any other conditions
that may affect the operation of the tool. A part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service facility, unless otherwise indicated in

identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
Additional safety rules for drill presses
WARNING. 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 the following:
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 and
indoor use only.
3. Always wear safety goggles which comply to a
recognised standard. Use a face or dust mask along
with safety goggles if the drilling operation is dusty. Use
ear protectors, especially during extended periods of
operation.
4. Do not try to drill material too small to be securely held.
Do not drill material that does not have a flat surface
unless it is clamped securely.
5. Always keep hands out of the path of the drill bit. Avoid
awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the drill bit.
6. Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175mm (7
inches) in length or extends more than 150mm (6 inches)
below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend outwards
or break.
7. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle
(fly) cutters or rotary planers on this drill press.
8. When cutting a large piece of material make sure it is
fully supported at the table height.
9. 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 vice for unstable workpieces.
10. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
11. Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact
the left side of the column; if it is too short or the table is
tilted, clamp solidly to the table.
12. If the workpiece overhangs the table such that it will fall
or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary
support.
13. Set the drill press to a speed appropriate to the job.
14. Do not start the drill press while the drill bit is touching
the workpiece.
15. When using a drill press vice, always fasten it to the
table.
