SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DRILL PRESS
6. Never perform layout, assembly, or set-up work on the table while the drill
is in use.
7. Make sure drill bit is securely locked in the chuck.
8. Make sure chuck key is removed from the chuck before turning power on.
9. Adjust the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into the table.
10. Always stop the drill before removing scrap pieces from the table.
11. Use clamps or a vise to secure workpiece to the table. This will prevent
workpiece from rotating with the drill bit.
12. Do not wear gloves when operating a drill press.
13. Shut the power off, remove the drill bit, and clean the table before leaving
the drill press.
14. Set the drill press to the speed appropriate for the job.
15. Should any part of your drill press be missing, damaged, or any electrical
component fail to perform properly, shut power off and unplug the drill press.
Replace missing, damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.
Protect Your Eyes
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear eye protection during
operation of the tool.
Electricity Requirements
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO A POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This machine source must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock. In case of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This
tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electrical shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green
(with or without yellow strips) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Plug power cord into a 120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 3.0A
time delay, a circuit saver fuse or circuit breaker.
WARNING - 'R QRW OHW \RXU ¿ngers touch the terminals of the plug when installing
or removing the plug to or away from the outlet.
WARNING - If not properly grounded, this tool can incur the potential hazard
of electrical shock particularly when used in damp locations or in proximity to
plumbing. If an electrical shock occurs, there is the potential of a secondary hazard
like your hands contacting the tool.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one in
Figure 1.
Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug does not ¿t the proper
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a quali¿ed electrician.
