1. All work shall be secured using either clamps
or a vise to the drill press table. It is unsafe to use
your hands to hold any workpiece being drilled.
2. Drill press head and table shall be securely
locked to the column before operating the drill press.
This must always be checked prior to starting the
machine.
3. Always use the correct tooling. Tooling shall
always be maintained and properly sharpened. All
tooling must be run at the proper speeds and feeds
as they apply to the job. Use only recommended
accessories and follow those manufacturers instruc-
tions pertaining to them. Tooling shall not be forced
in to any workpiece but fed according to the proper
specifications. Failure to follow these instructions will
not only ruin the tooling as well as the machine, but
can cause serious injury.

machine is in operation. All clean up should be done
when the machine is stopped.

tion, limitations, and potential hazards.
Caution: for circuits which are far away from
the electrical service box, the wire size must be
increased in order to deliver ample voltage to the
motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent
motor overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes
for branch circuits or electrical extension cords
according to the following table is recommended:
