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.
Table A shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewelry which may get caught in moving
parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCESETUP
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term
exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups
to ensure medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant women or
people who have impaired blood circulation to
the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system
disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should
not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCESETUP
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Make sure the table height and position
is set so that the drill travel range is
sufficient for the material to be drilled.
6. Make sure the work is securely clamped.
That is, held in a drill vise, or bolted to the table.
Never hold the material with your bare hands while
drilling. Severe personal injury may be caused if
the material is flung out of the operator’s hand.
9. FOR SMALL MATERIALS that cannot be clamped
to the table, use a drill press vise. Make sure
the vise is clamped or bolted to the table.
10. WHEN DRILLING COMPLETELY THROUGH
WOOD, position a piece of scrap wood between the
material and the table to prevent splintering on the
underside of the material as the drill breaks through.
The scrap piece of wood must make contact with
the left side of the column. Securely clamp the
other end of the scrap wood to the table. Also, set
the depth of the drill so that the drill will not come
in contact with the table - or align the table so that
the hole in its center is in line with the drill bit.
7. IF THE MATERIAL IS IRREGULARLY SHAPED and
cannot be laid flat on the table, it should be securely
blocked and clamped. Any tilting, twisting or shifting
will result not only in a roughly drilled hole but also
increases the chances of damage to the drill.
8. FOR FLAT WORK, lay the piece on to a
wooden base and clamp it down firmly against
the table to prevent it from turning.
1. Bring the drill bit down with the Feed Knob to where
the hole is to be drilled.
Make minor workpiece alignment adjustments.
2. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.
3. Turn the Drill Press on.
4. Pull down on the Feed Knob and slowly
drill the hole into the workpiece.
WARNING! If the drill bit grabs and spins the workpiece,
do not attempt to stop the spinning with your hands.
Step back, and turn the drill press off. Wait for the
spindle to stop turning before dislodging the workpiece.
5. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
