General safety rules

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your drill press works.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug in the drill

press until the following steps have been read and understood.

1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications,

limitations, and possible hazards.

2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose

them to rain. Keep work areas well-lit.

3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well-lit. DO NOT work on floor

surfaces that are slippery with sawdust or wax.

5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool

is operating. NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.

6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.

7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches,

etc.) when operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.

8. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK as the drilling operation produces dust.

WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health.

Always operate the drill press in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection systems whenever possible.

9. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electric outlet when making adjustments,

changing parts, cleaning or working on the tool.

10. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.

11. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position

before plugging in the power cord.

12. REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from

the drill press before turning it on.

General safety rules (continued)

13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do

not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool.

15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant

rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.

16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order.

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage,

improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is

damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.

18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS

remove starter keys.

19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that

could affect your ability to use the tool properly.

20. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES—that comply with

ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses only have impact resistant lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty environment. Use ear protection, such as plugs or muffs, during extended periods of operation.

Laser safety

1. Do not stare directly at the laser beam. Eye damage may occur if

you deliberately stare into the beam.

2. The laser light beam used in this system is Class II with maximum

1 mW and 660 nm wavelengths. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE.

3. The laser must be used and maintained in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions:

 Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than

the workpiece.

 Do not project the laser beam into the eyes of others.  Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece

without reflective surfaces as the laser beam could be projected into your eyes or the eyes of others.

Specific safety rules for drill presses

WARNING: Do not operate your drill press until it is completely assembled and installed

according to the instructions.

1. Never turn on the drill press before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps, etc.).

2. Always keep hands and fingers away from the drill bit.

3. Do not drill material that does not have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.

4. Never start the drill press with the drill bit pressed against the workpiece.

5. Make sure the table lock is tightened before starting the machine.

6. Never perform layout, assembly, or set-up work on the table while the drill is in use.

7. Make sure drill bit is securely locked in the chuck.

8. Make sure chuck key is removed from the chuck before turning power on.

9. Adjust the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into the table.

10. Always stop the drill before removing scrap pieces from the table.

11. Use clamps or a vise to secure workpiece to the table. This will prevent workpiece from

rotating with the drill bit.

12. Do not wear gloves when operating a drill press.

13. Shut the power off, remove the drill bit, and clean the table before leaving the drill press.

14. Set the drill press to the speed appropriate for the job.

15. Should any part of your drill press be missing, damaged, or any electrical component fail to

perform properly, shut power off and unplug the drill press. Replace missing, damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.

Electrical information

Grounding instructions

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in 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 licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.

USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure if it is, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

WARNING: This drill press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp

locations.

Guidelines for using 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 be used 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.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG)

(When using 120 V only)

Make 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 a #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed 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.

WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

Unpacking (Fig. 2)

Unpack the drill press and all its parts, and compare against the list below. Do not discard the carton or any packaging until the drill press is completely assembled.

To protect the drill press from moisture, a protective coating has been applied to the machined surfaces. Remove this coating with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene or WD-40®. Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to clean. Apply a coat of good paste wax to the table and column. Wipe all parts with a clean dry cloth.
