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 based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
• 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 those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

DRILL PRESS SAFETY
CAUTION!
For your own safety, do not try to use your drill press or plug it
in until it is completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions, and until you have read and understood this
instruction manual:
1. YOUR DRILL PRESS MUST BE BOLTED
securely to
a workbench. In addition, if there is any tendency for your
drill press to move during certain operations, bolt the
workbench to the floor.
2. THIS DRILL PRESS
is intended for use in dry conditions,
indoor only.
3. WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
USE A face or dust mask
along with safety goggles if drilling operation is dusty. USE
ear protectors, especially during extended periods of
operation.
4. DO NOT
wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.
5. DO NOT
try to drill material too small to be securely held.
6. ALWAYS
keep hands out of the path of a drill bit. Avoid
awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the drill bit.
7. DO NOT
install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175 mm
(7”) in length or extends 150 mm (6”) below the chuck jaws.
They can suddenly bend outward or break.
8. DO NOT USE
wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters,
circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
9. WHEN
cutting a large piece of material ,make sure it is
fully supported at the table height.
10. DO NOT
perform any operation freehand. ALWAYS use
clamps or a vise.
11. MAKE SURE
there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
12. CLAMP THE WORKPIECE OR BRACE IT
against the
left side of the column to prevent rotation. If it is too short
or the table is tilted, clamp it solidly to the table.
13. IF THE WORKPIECE
overhangs the table such that it
will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide
auxiliary support.
14. SECURE THE WORK.
Use clamps or a vise to hold the
work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
15. WHEN
using a drill press vise, always fasten to the table.
16. MAKE SURE
all clamps and locks are firmly tightened
before drilling.
17. SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD
and table support to the
column, and the table to the table support before operating
the drill press.
18. NEVER
turn your drill press on before clearing the table of
all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.)
19. BEFORE STARTING
the operation, jog the motor switch
to make sure the drill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
20. LET THE SPINDLE REACH FULL SPEED
before
starting to drill. If your drill press makes an unfamiliar
noise or if it vibrates excessively, stop immediately, turn
the drill press off and unplug. If do not restart the unit until
the problem is corrected.
21. DO NOT
perform layout assembly or set up work on the
table while the drill press is in operation.
22. USE THE RECOMMENDED SPEED
for any drill press
accessory and for different workpiece material. READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS that come with the accessory.
23. WHEN DRILLING
large diameter holes, clamp the
workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit may grap
and spin the workpiece at high speeds. DO NOT USE fly
cutters or multiple-part hole cutters, as they can come apart
or become unbalanced in use.
24. MAKE SURE
the spindle has come to a complete stop
before touching the workpiece.
25. TO AVOID INJURY
from accidental starting, always turn
the switch “OFF” and unplug the drill press before
installing or removing any accessory or attachment or
making any adjustment.
26. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
and in working order.
27.
USE ONLY THE SELF-EJECTING TYPE CHUCK
KEY
as provided with the drill press.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN
, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into
a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED
. If it will not fit
the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER 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. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, 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.
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPT THE TOOL’S PLUG.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord 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.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must
not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15
Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric
current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle
like the one illustrated in FIGURE A.
FIGURE A
shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle that
has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is
not available, an adapter
(FIGURE B)
can be used to
temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded
receptacle. The adapter
(FIGURE B)
has a rigid lug extending
from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground,
such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
THE
TEMPORARY ADAPTER SHOULD BE USED ONLY
UNTIL A PROPER GROUNDED OUTLET CAN BE
INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
The
Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.
CAUTION:
In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question
is properly grounded. If you are not sure have a certified
electrician check the receptacle.
CAUTION!
This drill press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or
use in damp locations.
CAUTION!
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electrical.
