GENERAL SAFETY
!
WARNING
TO AVOID serious injury and damage to the machine,
read and follow all Safety and Operating Instructions
before assembling and operating this machine.
WARNING
!
This manual is not totally comprehensive. It does not
and can not convey every possible safety and operational problem which may arise while using this
machine. The manual will cover many of the basic and
specific safety procedures needed in an industrial environment.
All federal and state laws and any regulations having
jurisdiction covering the safety requirements for use of
this machine take precedence over the statements in
this manual. Users of this machine must adhere to all
such regulations.
Below is a list of symbols that are used to attract your
attention to possible dangerous conditions.
!
This is the international safety alert symbol. It is used
to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey
all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
!
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
Exposure to the dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust,
and avoid prolonged contact with dust. The dust
may contain 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, cement and other
masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use a dust collection
system along with an air filtration system whenever
possible. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the
dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
WARNING
!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also
be used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indi-
cates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property damage.
NOTICE
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper operation of the machine.
1. To avoid serious injury and damage to the machine,
read the entire User Manual before assembly and
operation of this machine.
WARNING
!
2. ALWAYS wear eye protection. Any machine can
throw debris into the eyes during operations,
which could cause severe and permanent eye
damage. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that
comply with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating power tools.
10
Page 11
WARNING
!
3. ALWAYS wear hearing protection. Plain cotton is
not an acceptable protective device. Hearing
equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19
Standards.
WARNING
!
4. ALWAYS wear a NIOSH/OSHA approved dust
mask to prevent inhaling dangerous dust or airborne particles.
5. ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and

WARNING
!
11. DO NOT FORCE the machine to perform an opera-
tion for which it was not designed. It will do a safer
and higher quality job by only performing operations
for which the machine was intended.
12. DO NOT stand on a machine. Serious injury could
result if it tips over or you accidentally contact any
moving part.
13. DO NOT store anything above or near the machine.
14. DO NOT operate any machine or tool if under the

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
!
This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUND-
ING provides the path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with ALL local codes and ordinances.
If a plug is provided with your machine DO NOT modify
the plug. If it will not fit your electrical receptacle, have
a qualified electrician install the proper connections to
meet all electrical codes local and state. All connections
must also adhere to all of OSHA mandates.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
PLUGS/RECEPTACLES
EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, use the
proper gauge of extension cord. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your machine will draw.
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter
of the extension cord is. If in doubt of the proper size of
an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.
!
CAUTION
USE ONLY a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong
grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the
machine’s plug.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it
is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make certain the extension cord is properly sized, and
in good electrical condition. Always replace a worn or
damaged extension cord immediately or have it
repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

and OFF, rotate the switch (B) in the clockwise direction
only. SEE FIG. 27.
CAUTION
!
The flexible lamp housing will remain hot for a few minutes after turning it OFF. Avoid contact with housing
until it is cool.
SUPPORTING WORKPIECE
WARNING
!
IMPORTANT: When the workpiece (A) is long enough,
position it on the table with one end against the left side
of the column (B) to prevent the workpiece from rotating. If it is not possible to support the workpiece
against the column, clamp the workpiece to the table.
A vise can be used to secure a small workpiece that is
too small to be clamped to the table. The vise must be
secured to the table to keep it from rotating. If you are
using a backup board, it must also be properly supported or clamped. SEE FIG. 28.
25
Page 26

CORRECT DRILLING SPEEDS
Factors that determine the correct drilling speed are:
the type and density of the workpiece, the size of the
hole, the type and size of drill bit or other cutter, and the
quality of cut desired.
DRILLING METAL
WARNING
!
NEVER hold the workpiece in your bare hands.
ALWAYS use clamps or vises to hold your workpiece.
Twist drill bits should only be used in drilling metals.
Never hold the workpiece in your bare hands; always
use clamps or vises. The drill bit may seize the work at
any time, especially when breaking through the workpiece. If the workpiece is whirled out of the operator’s
hand, the operator may be injured. The drill bit can also
be broken if the workpiece strikes the column.
The workpiece must be clamped or securely held in a
vise while drilling. Any tilting, twisting, or shifting results
not only in a rough hole, but also increases the likelihood of drill bit breakage. For flat work, lay the workpiece on a wooden base and clamp it firmly down
against the table to prevent it from turning. If the workpiece is of irregular shape and cannot be laid flat on the
table, it should be securely blocked and clamped.
When drilling metal, it will be necessary to lubricate the
tip of the drill bit with oil to prevent it from overheating.
WARNING
!
ALWAYS use the recommended speed for the drill bit
and workpiece.
DRILLING WOOD
Twist drill bits, usually intended for metal drilling, can
also be used for boring holes in wood. However, Brad
point or Forstner bits are generally preferred for working
in wood. These bits cut a flat bottom hole and are
designed for removal of wood chips. Do not use hand
bits which have a screw tip or auger bits. At drill press
speeds, they can lift and rotate the workpiece.
For through boring, align the table so that the bit will go
through the center hole. Scribe a vertical line on the
front of the column and a matching mark on the table
bracket and the drill press head, so that the table and
drill press head can be clamped in the center position
at any height.
Feed the bit slowly when it is close to cutting through
the wood to prevent splintering the bottom face. Use a
scrap piece of wood as backup under the workpiece.
This helps to reduce splintering and protects the point
of the bit.
DRILLING OPERATION
Use a center punch to dent the workpiece where you
want the hole. This will keep the bit from walking when
you start the drill operation. Make sure the workpiece
is properly supported or secured to the table. For thrudrilling, make sure the table center hole is aligned with
the drill bit. Turn the drill press ON and start to feed the
drill chuck down with the feed handles.
FEEDING TOO RAPIDLY may cause the belt or drill bit
to slip or break, the motor to stall, the workpiece to pull
loose from the table. Never try to rush your work; allow
the drill press to work smoothly.
See Drill Speed Chart on page 27.

CHANGING MOTOR VOLTAGE
WARNING
!
MAKE CERTAIN to disconnect the machine from the
power source before working on motor.
Have a certified electrician make all electrical connections. All local and state codes must be maintained.
The motor supplied with the Drill Press is a dual voltage
115/230-volt, single phase motor. The motor is wired
from the factory for 115-volt operation. To change to
230-volt operation, proceed with the following instructions. It is also necessary to replace the 115 volt plug,
supplied with your machine, with a UL/CSA Listed plug
(not included) suitable for 230 volts and the rated current of the motor. The motor with a 230 volt plug
should only be connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or
should be used with the 230 volt plug.
1. Make sure switch is OFF and disconnect power
cord from power source.
2. Verify on the motor tag that motor is dual voltage.
3. If motor tag states that it is dual voltage remove
junction box cover on motor.
4. Using wiring diagram on inside of junction box
cover, reconnect motor leads for 230-volt operation.
5. Replace junction box cover.
6. Replace 115 volt plug with a UL/CSA Listed 230
volt plug rated for current of the motor.
7. The ON/OFF switch is a 4-pole switch and does not
need any modifications.

MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
WARNING
!
Turn the power switch OFF and unplug the power cord
from its power source.
The drill press has sealed lubricated bearings in the
motor housing that do not require any additional lubrication from the operator.
The quill and spindle assemblies should be periodically
lubricated. Lower the quill assembly and squirt or wipe
a thin film of lightweight machine oil on the entire surface. Place a few drops of light machine oil down the
spindle assembly. Raise and lower the quill several
times to distribute the oil evenly.
CLEANING
With the drill press unplugged, blow off motor with lowpressure air to remove dust or dirt. Air pressure above
50 P. S. I. should not be used as high-pressured air
may damage insulation. The operator should always
wear eye protection when using compressed air.
Do not use a shop vacuum to clean metal shavings.
The metal shavings can cause an explosion or fire.
Do not allow chips and dust to accumulate under drill
press. Keep area clean and in safe order.
WARNING
!
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS to clean the
drill press.
After cleaning, apply a good quality paste wax to any
unpainted surfaces. Make sure to buff out the wax
before operation.
WARNING
!
ONLY trained personnel should perform repairs to the
drill press. Unauthorized repairs or replacement with
non-factory parts could cause serious injury to the
operator and damage to the drill press.
