Your drill press is designed to use a 1720 RPM motor. It is wired at the factory for 110-120 Volts, 60 Hz alternating cur- rent. Never use a motor that runs faster than 1720 RPM. Your drill press may be converted for 220-240 volt operation.
Carefully unpack the drill press and all loose items from the carton. Remove the protective coating from the machined surfaces of the drill press and all loose items. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moist- ened with kerosene. DO NOT USE ACETONE, GASOLINE, OR LACQUER THINNER FOR THIS PURPOSE.

Factors which determine the best speed to use in any drill press operations are: kind of material being worked, size of hole, type of drill or other cutter, and quality of cut desired. The smaller the drill, the greater the required RPM. In soft materials, the speed should be higher than for hard metals.
