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.

the drill press may show a tendency to tilt or move during use. if so,
bolt it to the bench top or to a piece of 3/4" plywood large enough to
stabilize it.
