MOVING & INSTALLING THE DRILL PRESS
When moving the assembled
Drill Press, at least two people are recommended.
The machine is very heavy, and top heavy. Tilt
the drill press backwards so that one person can
hold the head section. Then the base can be lifted
by the second person, and the machine moved to
the desired new location.
DO NOT move or carry the Drill Press with the
work table, chuck or operating handles, as this
may damage the machine.
1. Position the machine on a solid, level bench that
is located in an area that has ample space in front
and to both sides of the drill press for the moving of
lumber and projects to be drilled.

2. Align the machine so that during use, any kickback
will not face aisles, doorways, or other work areas
that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or use the
machine in damp or wet conditions.
3. If possible, secure the machine to the floor with
lag screws or other fasteners (not supplied). This will
ensure the stability of the machine and reduce any
possible vibration during use. If this is not possible,
the base can be bolted to a larger piece of plywood
to help stabilize the machine. DO NOT use a mobile
base with this machine.
4. For best power and safety, the Drill Press should
be directly plugged into a dedicated grounded
electrical outlet that is within the supplied cord length
of the machine. The use of an extension cord is not
recommended.
