WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
ATTEMPT.TO OPERATE YOUR DRBLL PRESS UNTIL
IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND iNSTALLED
ACCORDgNG TO THE iNSTRUCTIONS ... AND UNTIL
YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
FOLLOWING:
1. General Safety Instructions for PowerTools . Page 2
2. Getting to Know Your Drill Press ......... Page 13
3. Basic Drill PressOperation ............... Page 16
4. Adjustments ......................... Page 17
5. Maintenance ......................... Page 18
6. Stabiaity of Drill Press
If there is any tendency for the drill press to tip over or
move during certain operations such as shaping, the drill
press should be bolted to the floor.
If the workpiece is too large to support with one hand,
provide an auxiliary support.
7. Location
The drill press should be positioned so neither the
operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line
with a potential Kickback.
8.
Kickback
A kickback occurs when the workpiece is suddenly
thrown in the OPPOSITE direction to the DIRECTION
OF FEED; WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
Kickbacks are most commonly caused by:
a. Relaxing your grip of the workpiece while
shaping or routing.
b. Taking too heavy a cut while shaping or routing.
c. Ignoring the instructions for shaping or routing.
9. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
a.
If any part of your drill press is malfunctioning,
has been damaged or broken ... such as the
motor switch, or other operating control, a
safety device or the power cord ... cease
operating immediately until the particular part
is properly repaired or replaced.
b°
Wear safety goggles that comply with ANS
Z87.1-1968, and a face shield if operation is
dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended
periods of operation.
c°
Never place your fingers in a position where
they could contact the drill or other cutting
toot (router bit, shaper cutter, etc.) if the
workpiece should unexpectedly shift. (For
instance, hold-down/push blocks must be used
when shaping on the drill press to keep hands
remote from the cutter if a kickback should
Occur.)
d.
Never operate drill press with protective cover
on the unused shaft end of the motor removed.
e,
Position workpiece to butt against the column
whenever possible - if it is too short, clamp
solidly to the Table - this is to prevent the drill
bit from grabbing the work from your hands,
which could result in personal injury. A drill
press vise must be fastened to the table.
Never perform, any operation "free-hand'"
(hand-holding workpiece rather than support it
on the Table), except wire brushing and
polishing - Wear Safety Gog'gJes!
g.
Never perform internal or curved shaping
operations. Perform straight line shaping ONLY
(with the Shaper Fence Accessory).
h.
Never perform any operation by moving the
Head or Table with respect to one another. Do
not pull the motor switch "ON" or start any
operation before checking that Head and Table
Lock Handles are clamped tight to Column, and
Head and Table Support Collars are correctly
positioned.
i. Before pulling the motor switch "ON", be
positive the belt guard is down, the Chuck is
installed properly, and the drill or other cutting
tool is securely clamped in the chuck.
j. Before starting the operation, jog the motor
switch to be sure the drill or other cutting tool
does not have excessive runout or cause
vibration.
k.
Do not operate the Drill Press unless the Depth
Stop and Stop Nut are installed and the Depth
Stop clamped to the Depth Stop Rod.
Never pull out on the hub of the quill Hub
Assembly unless you first grasp and support the
Quill, otherwise the Quill will drop and damage
may result.
m.
Use the spindle speed recommended for the
specific operation and workpiece material -
refer to panel on right side of the Head for
drilling information, and for accessories, to the
instruction sheets that accompany the
accessories.
n. If workpiece overhangs the Table such that it
will fall to floor if unsupported, clamp it to the
Table or provide auxiliary support.
o. Use fixtures for unusual operations to
adequately hold, guide and position workpiece
for best quality and minimum hazard.
P. Be sure to lock Quill securely for all routing,
sanding, surfacing, shaping, and dovetailing
operations.
q. Never climb on the drill press Tabte.
r. Lock the motor Switch and put away the Key
when leaving the drill press.
10. Use only accessories designed for this drift press.
a_
Holesaws must NEVER be operated on this
drill press at a speed greater than 380 RPM.
b.
Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on
this drill press at a speed greater than 720
RPM.
c.
Do not exceed the speed recommended for
the drill size in wood when using the
mortising bit and chisel.

12. Think Safety. Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when the drill
pressis being used.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY
(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR DRILL
PRESS) TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A
SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO iNFLiCT SEVERE
INJURY.

CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15-amp. time delay or Circuit-Saver
fuse or circuit breaker.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED, HAVE IT CHECKED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH
THE TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN INSTALLING OR
REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE OUTLET,
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS
POWER TOOL CAN iNCUR THE POTENTIAL HAZARD
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN
USED iN DAMP LOCATIONS, IN PROXIMITY TO
PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A SECONDARY
HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE
CUTTING TOOL.
If power cora Jsworn or cut, or damaged in any way, have
it replaced immediately.
3-PRONG
PLUG
GROUNDED
OUTLET
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved
by Underwriters' Laboratories and the C_nadian Standards
Association: The ground conductor has a green jacket and is
attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground
prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power toot is
of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an
adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug to
known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs
to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding Jug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as to a properly grounded outlet box,

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already
have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle, Adapter is
not allowed in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent
over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pote receptacles which accept
the tools plug.
