GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT: Before switching the drill press on, ALWAYS check the machine for the correct setting and
speed, as well as ensuring the Chuck Key is removed.
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE MANUAL BEFORE
OPERATING THE TOOL. Learn the machine’s application
and limitations, plus the specific hazards particular to it.
2. ALWAYS USE A FULL-FACE SHIELD-Strongly
recommended (must be ANSI approved) Everyday
eyeglasses usually are only impact resistant and safety
glasses only protect eyes. A full-face shield will protect
the eyes and face. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
4. USE EAR PROTECTORS. Use ear muffs for extended
period of operation. Use muffs rated to 103 DBA LEQ (8
hour).
5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well lighted. The NOVA Down
feed attachment is intended for indoor use only. Failure
to do so may void the warranty.
14. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
15. USE CORRECT TOOLS. Do not use a tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper
accessories may cause hazards.
17. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and be
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
18. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp
and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted.
20. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
21. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
22. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
23. PAY ATTENTION TO WORK. Concentrate on your work. If
you become tired or frustrated, leave it for a while and
rest.
24. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vice to hold work when
practical. Severe injury or death can occur if an object
comes free as it can become a dangerous projectile.
25. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
ensure that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. Any damaged
part should be properly repaired or replaced.
26. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate machine
while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication.
27. DUST WARNING. The dust generated by certain woods
and wood products can be harmful to your health. Always
operate machinery in well-ventilated areas and provide
means for proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection
systems whenever possible.
28. DO NOT MODIFY OR USE DRILL PRESS FOR USES OTHER
THAN FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED.
6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents. Build-up of sawdust is a fire hazard.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. The Nova Viking
DVR is not recommended for children and infirm
persons. Such personnel and onlookers should be kept
a safe distance from work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with locks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
9. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is equipped with a
three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to
accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug
must be attached to a known ground. Never remove
the third prong.
10. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER
SUPPLY while the motor is being mounted, connected,
or reconnected.
11. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM WALL SOCKET before
servicing and when changing accessories such as bits,
cutters and fuses etc.
12. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in
the “Off” position before plugging in power cord.
13. NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do
not leave machine unless it is turned off and has come
to a complete stop.
