IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
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 dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: Handling the power cord on corded products may expose you to
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This drill press is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong plug.
If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter can be used as
long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate. See Figure 1 and the
steps below to use an AC grounding adapter:
1. Remove the cover plate mounting screw.
2. Insert the AC grounding adapter into the bottom receptacle so the green
grounding lug fits over the screw hole.
3. Install the mounting screw back into the cover plate securely affixing the
adapter to the receptacle.
Never modify the electrical adapter by cutting off the
grounding prong so it will fit into unapproved, un-grounded electrical receptacles. Failure to follow this procedure could result in burns, severe electrical shock, or even death.
If you have questions about connecting the drill press, contact a certified electrician
to install the proper circuitry needed for this and other power tools you use.
Repair or replace any damaged electrical wiring IMMEDIATELY.
EXTENSION CORD USAGE
Extension cords are not recommended for use with this drill press. Extension cords, if
used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a 3-hole receptacle on
the other. DO NOT use grounding adapters with an extension cord. Extension cords
must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 A.W.G. wiring. Extension cords should never
exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a voltage drop over the
extra distance causing the grinder motor to run slower with the possibility of causing
damage to the motor. Using extension cords with smaller than the recommended wire
gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melting, and/or causing fires. See table, “Extension
Cord Specifications”, on page 25-26.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure switch is in the
“OFF” position before plugging in.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owners manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause cause risk of
injury.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine 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.
DIRECTION OF FEED. Only feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
NEVER use appliances or equipment that have motors
with automatic reset overload protective devices. These protective devices
can cause unexpected startups that can cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
The electrical power source for this drill press MUST be grounded in order to prevent
possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or break down.
Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reducing the
risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A service.
Multiple power tools should never be used on the same circuit at the same time.
Failure to properly ground this drill press could result in
burns, severe electrical shock, and even death. This is especially true if used in
damp or wet locations or near metallic plumbing. The reaction from electrical
shock could possibly cause your hands to make contact with the cutting tools.
Not all outlets are properly grounded, regardless of the
type of receptacle they have. If you are not sure if the receptacle is properly
grounded or not, consult a certified electrician. The AC receptacle must be
protected by a dual element time delay or a circuit breaker.

USE ONLY DRILL BITS, SANDING DRUMS, AND OTHER ACCESSORIES that
are designed for the various speeds of this drill press. The drill bits, sanding
drums and other accessories should have a shank size 1/2" OR SMALLER.
Unsuitable drill bits can break without warning throwing fragments outward at
high speeds possibly causing severe injuries. Contact Alltrade Customer
Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) for authorized drill bit specifications.
USE RECOMMENDED SPEED for drill accessory and workpiece material.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. The drill press will do a better job and be safer if
drilling operations are performed at the proper speeds as expressed in this
manual.
USE ONLY THE CHUCK KEY THAT IS PROVIDED with the drill press or a
duplicate of it to reliably secure the drill bit inside the chuck.
REMOVE CHUCK KEYS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENT TOOLS from the areas
around the drill press before turning the power switch to the “ON” position.
DO NOT USE A DRILL BIT THAT WOBBLES OR VIBRATES. Visually inspect the
drill bits before they contact the work piece ensuring there are no side-to-side
movements. Should the drill bit wobble from side-to-side or if the tip appears
broken, replace them immediately. If the vibration still exists, check the bearings and the motor shaft and repair or replace them as soon as possible.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause severe damage to both the work piece and
the drill press.
ADJUST THE TOOL TABLE BEFORE EACH USE. The tool table should be tightened and placed at the proper angle for the drilling job before the drill press is
put into use. If not properly adjusted, the work piece can unexpectedly move
causing the drill bit to seize resulting in damage to it or possible severe injury
to the operator.
DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRILL PRESS when it is first
turned on. Loose fragments could fly off at high speeds possibly causing injury.
PROPERLY SUPPORT EXTRA LONG OR EXTRA WIDE WORK PIECES. Work
pieces that are too long or tool wide can tip and cause the drill bit to seize
resulting in a sudden whipping motion resulting in damage to the work piece
and drill press as well as possible severe injury to the operator.
NEVER START THE DRILL PRESS WITH THE WORK PIECE IN CONTACT WITH
THE DRILL BIT. The sudden start-up of the drill bit could cause it to seize result-
ing in a sudden, rapid spinning motion that could damage the work piece, the
drill press, and/or serious injury to the operator.
