5. SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE.
Vibration can cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over. To avoid
injury from unexpected movement, make sure the tool is on a firm,
level surface, properly secured to prevent rocking. Make sure there is
adequate space for operations.
6. STABILITY OF THE DRILL PRESS
The drill press may show a tendency to tilt or move during use. If so,
bolt it to the floor or to a piece of 3/4" plywood large enough to stabilize
it.
7. SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD AND TABLE SUPPORT BRACKET TO
THE COLUMN,
and the table to the table support bracket before operating the drill
press. Never move either the head or table support bracket while the
tool is running.
8. BEFORE STARTING THE OPERATION, CHECK FOR MIS-
ALIGNMENT IN THE CHUCK.
Jog (turn on, then immediately off) the motor switch to make sure the
drill bit or other cutting tool does not wobble or cause vibration.
9. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE ON BEFORE
clearing the table/work area of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
Flying debris is dangerous.
10. USE EXTRA SUPPORTS
(tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for any workpiece large enough to tip
when not held down to the work table.
11. DO NOT LEAVE THE WORK AREA UNTIL ALL MOVING PARTS
HAVE STOPPED.
Shut off the power to master switches. Childproof the workshop!
12. BEFORE STARTING,
be certain the motor, table, attachments and adjustment knobs are
secured.
13. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
Before using this tool, any part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for misalignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings and other conditions that
may affect its operation. Inspect screws and tighten any that are loose.
Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in the instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center. Don't use the tool if switch does not turn it
on and off properly.
14. OBTAIN ADVICE
from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are
not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge
is safety.
15. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE ON
with the workpiece contacting the bit. Workpiece may be thrown and
cause injury or damage.
16. PREVENT THE WORKPIECE
from contacting the bit before starting the tool. Loss of control of the
workpiece is dangerous.
17. TURN THE MACHINE OFF,
disconnect the machine from the power source, when not in operation
and before leaving the machine. Clean the table/work area before
leaving the machine.
18. DO NOT LEAVE THE WORK AREA UNTIL ALL MOVING PARTS
HAVE STOPPED.
Shut off the power to master switches. Childproof the workshop!
19. TO FREE ANY JAMMED MATERIAL, TURN THE SWITCH OFF.
Unplug the tool. Wait for all moving parts to stop before removing the
jammed material.
20. NEVER WORK FREE HAND
(hand-holding the workpiece rather than supporting it on the table),
except when polishing.
