17. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function – check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER "OFF". Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
20. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
WARNING: 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. THIS DRILL PRESS is intended for use in dry conditions, indoor
use only.
2. 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.
3. DO NOT wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.
4. DO NOT try to drill material too small to be securely held.
5. 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.
6. DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175mm
in length or extends 150mm below the chuck jaws. They can
suddenly bend outward or break.
7. DO NOT USE wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle (fly)
cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
8. WHEN cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is fully
supported at the table height.
9. DO NOT perform any operation freehand. ALWAYS hold the
workpiece firmly against the table so it will not rock or twist.
Use clamps or a vise for unstable workpieces.
10. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of
the workpiece to be drilled.
11. 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.
12. 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRILL PRESS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often.
21. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean
for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
22. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
23. DO NOT OPERATE the tool if you are under the influence of
any drugs, alcohol or medication that could affect your ability to
use the tool properly.
24. ALWAYS operate the Drill Press in a well-ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection systems
whenever possible. Dust generated from certain materials can
be hazardous to your health.
13. 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.
14. MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly tightened before
drilling.
15. SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD and table support to the
column, and the table to the table support before operating the
drill press.
16. NEVER turn your drill press ON before clearing the table of all
objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
17. BEFORE STARTING the operation, jog the motor switch to
make sure the frill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
18. 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. Do not restart the unit until the problem is corrected.
19. DO NOT perform layout assembly or set up work on the table
while the drill press is in operation.
20. USE THE RECOMMENDED SPEED for any drill press
accessory and for different workpiece material.
21. WHEN DRILLING large diameter holes, clamp the workpiece
firmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit may grab and spin the
workpiece at high speeds. DO NOT USE fly cutters or multiple
part hold cutters, as they can come apart or become un-
balanced in use.
22. MAKE SURE the spindle has come to a complete stop before
touching the workpiece.
23. 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.
