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.

INSTALLATION
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 bench
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.
