it to twist, jump, or become airborne.
To Avoid kickbacks:
Always use sharp drill bits.
Keep machine in proper alignment and good working condition.
Never perform any "free hand" drilling. Work must always be held securely against the table and fence.
Always support longer boards when drilling.
To avoid injury, never make adjustments while the machine is running.
Make sure machine comes to a complete stop before removing or securing workpiece, or workpiece angle.
Ground all tools. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it "on".
