SAFETY

NOTICE

1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious
injury hazards to untrained users.

2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye­glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper
operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage
to the machinery.

4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause
permanent hearing damage.

5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non­slip footwear.

6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.

7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make
sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.

8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work
area.

9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all moving parts to come

to a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.

-6-

M1039 12-Speed Drill Press

11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or
where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.

12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.

13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords

overheat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension
cords for 220V machinery.

14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is
in OFF position before reconnecting.

15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.

17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting

wrenches before turning machinery ON.

18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of
parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine
operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.

SAFETY

21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured
workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.

22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi-

tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."

24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.

25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS OF
PEOPLE AND ANIMALS, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the

type of dust you will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Additional Safety Instructions for Drill Presses

READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.

SAFETY

1. EYE/FACE/HAND PROTECTION. A face shield used with safety glasses is recommended. Always
keep hands and fingers away from the drill bit. Never hold a workpiece by hand while drilling! DO
NOT wear gloves when operating the drill.

2. SECURING BIT. Properly tighten and securely lock the drill bit in the chuck.

3. CORRECT BIT. Use only round, hex, or triangular shank drill bits, or tapered shank drill bits mated

with the appropriate sleeve.

4. ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the
machine ON.

Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol­lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.

5. DRILLING SHEET METAL. Never drill sheet metal unless it is securely clamped to the table.

6. SURFACE/WORKPIECE PREPARATION. Never turn the drill press ON before clearing the table

of all objects (tools, scrap wood, etc.) DO NOT drill material that does not have a flat surface,
unless a suitable support is used.

7. DAMAGED TOOLS. Never use tools in poor condition. Dull or damaged cutting tools are hard to
control and may cause serious injury.

8. DRILL OPERATION. Never start the drill press with the drill bit pressed against the workpiece.
Feed the drill bit evenly into the workpiece. Back the bit out of deep holes. Turn the machine
OFF and clear chips and scrap pieces with a brush. Shut power OFF, remove drill bit, and clean
table before leaving the machine.

9. OPERATING SPEED. Always operate your drill press at speeds that are appropriate for the drill bit
size and the material that you are drilling.

10. MAINTENANCE/SPEED CHANGES. Never do maintenance or change speeds with the machine
plugged in.

11. MOUNTING WORKPIECES. Use clamps or vises to secure workpiece before drilling. Position work
so you avoid drilling into the table.

12. TABLE LOCK. Make sure the table lock is tightened before starting the drill press.

ELECTRICAL

110V/220V Operation

The SHOP FOX® Model M1039 is prewired for 110V opera­tion, but may be rewired for 220V operation. To do this,
consult the wiring diagram in the back of this manual.
Always connect this machine to a dedicated circuit (wire,
breaker, plug, receptacle) with a verified ground, using
the recommended circuit breakers and plugs/receptacles
listed at the bottom of this page.

Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amper­age without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about

the wiring codes in your area or plan to connect your
machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire haz­ard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

ELECTRICAL

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V
operation. When it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use the following guidelines:

• Use cords rated for Standard Service

• Never exceed a length of 50 feet

• Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin

• Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord sup­plied with this machine comes with a grounding pin. Do
not remove it. If converting to 220V operation, always
use a plug with a ground pin. If your outlet does not
accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a quali­fied electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed.

Note: When using an adapter, the adapter must be
grounded.

Machine Placement

• Floor Load: This machine distributes a

heavy load in a small footprint. Some floors
may require additional bracing to support
both machine and operator.

• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your drill press.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

USE helpers or power lift­ing equipment to lift this
drill press. Otherwise,
serious personal injury
may occur.

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your
machine type are coated with a waxy grease
that protects them from corrosion during ship­ment. Clean this grease off with a solvent clean­er or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlo­rine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner
or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

NEVER use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
Most have low flash
points, which make them
extremely flammable.
A risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur
if this warning is ignored!

SET UP

MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to youngsters by closing
and locking all entrances
when you are away. NEVER
allow untrained visitors in
your shop when assem­bling, adjusting or operat­ing equipment.

ALWAYS work in well­ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.

Mounting to Shop Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount
your new machine to the floor. Because this is an
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mount­ing hardware is not included. Generally, you can either
bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine
mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever
option you choose it will be necessary to use a precison
level to level your machine.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 5) and anchor
studs (Figure 6) are two popular methods for anchoring
an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research
the many options and methods for mounting your
machine and choose the best that fits your specific appli­cation.

M1039 12-Speed Drill Press

Figure 5. Typical lag shield anchor and lag

bolt.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent alter-

SET UP

natives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick
out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if
you decide to move your machine at a later point.

Using Machine Mounts

Using machine mounts, shown in Figure 7, gives the
advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduction. If you
choose to use machine mounts, attach them to the base
before assembling the drill press.
