Wilton Corporation.
You—the stationary power tool user—
When setting up machine:
- Always avoid using machine in damp or poorly
lighted work areas.
- Always be sure the machine support is securely
anchored to the floor or the work bench.
When using machine:
- Always wear safety glasses with side shields
(See ANSI Z87.1)
- Never wear loose clothing or jewelry.
- Never overreach—you may slip and fall.
When servicing machine:
- Always disconnect the machine from its electrical
hold the key to safety.
Read and follow these simple rules for best results
and full benefits from your machine. Used properly,
Wilton’s machinery is among the best in design and
safety. However, any machine used improperly can
be rendered inefficient and unsafe. It is absolutely
mandatory that those who use our products be
properly trained in how to use them correctly. They
should read and understand the Operating Instructions and Parts Manual as well as all labels affixed
to the machine. Failure in following all of these
warnings can cause serious injuries.
Machinery general safety warnings
1. Always wear protective eye wear when operat-
ing machinery. Eye wear shall be impact resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields
which comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications.
Use of eye wear which does not comply with
ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe
injury from breakage of eye protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or
jewelry which can get caught in moving parts.
Rubber soled footwear is recommended for best
footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain proper
working position can cause you to fall into the
machine or cause your clothing to get caught —
pulling you into the machine.
4. Keep guards in place and in proper working
order. Do not operate the machine with guards
removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do not
use stationary machine tools in wet or damp
locations. Keep work areas clean and well lit.
6. Avoid accidental starts by being sure the start
switch is “OFF” before plugging in the machine.
7. Never leave the machine running while unat-
tended. Machine shall be shut off whenever it is
not in operation.
8. Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Whenever changing accessories or general
maintenance is done on the machine, electrical
power to the machine must be disconnected
before work is done.
9. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all
maintenance instructions for lubricating and the
changing of accessories. No attempt shall be
made to modify or have makeshift repairs done to
the machine. This not only voids the warranty but
also renders the machine unsafe.
10. Machinery must be anchored to the floor.
11 . Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work,
when practical. It is safer than using your hands
and it frees both hands to operate the machine.
12. Never brush away chips with machine in operation.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before
turning machine on.
15. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment
to do a job it was not designed for.
16. Use only recommended accessories and follow
manufacturers instructions pertaining to them.
17. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving parts
and cutting surfaces.
18. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from
the work area. Make workshop completely safe
by using padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
19. Know the tool you are using — its application,
limitations, and potential hazards.

General electrical cautions
The drill press should be grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances. This work should be done by a
qualified electrician. The drill press should be
grounded to protect the user from electrical shock.
Wire sizes
Caution: for circuits which are far away from the
electrical service box, the wire size must be
increased in order to deliver ample voltage to the
motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent
motor overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes
for branch circuits or electrical extension cords
according to the following table is recommended.
AWG (American wire gauge) number
Conductor length 240 volt lines 120 volt lines
0-50 feet No. 14 No. 14
50-100 feet No. 14 No. 12
Over 100 feet No. 12 No. 8
Safety Instructions for Drill
Presses
1. All work shall be secured using either clamps or a
vise to the drill press table. It is unsafe to use your
hands to hold any workpiece being drilled.
2. Drill press head and table shall be securely
locked to the column before operating the drill press.
This must always be checked prior to starting the
machine.
3. Always use the correct tooling. Tooling shall
always be maintained and properly sharpened. All
tooling must be run at the proper speeds and feeds
as they apply to the job. Use only recommended
accessories and follow those manufacturers instructions pertaining to them. Tooling shall be not be
forced in to any workpiece but fed according to the
6
proper specifications. Failure to follow these instructions will not only ruin the tooling as well as the
machine, but can cause serious injury.
4. Never brush away any chips while the machine is
in operation. All clean up should be done when the
machine is stopped.
5. Keep hands in sight. Do not put hands or fingers
around, on, or below any rotating cutting tools.
Leather safety gloves should be used when handling
any sharp objects or cutting tools. See Figure A.
6. Always wear protective eye wear when operating,
servicing or adjusting machinery. Eyewear shall be
impact resistant, protective safety glasses with side
shields complying with ANSI Z87.1 specifications.
Use of the eye wear which does not comply with
ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe
injury from breakage of eye protection. See Figure
B.
7. When drilling in material which causes dust, a
dust mask shall be worn. See Figure C.
8. Avoid contact with coolant, especially guarding
the eyes.
9. Non-slip footwear and safety shoes are recommended. See Figure D.
10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation. See Figure E.
