Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Set the Table height and position so
that the drill travel range is sufficient
for the workpiece to be drilled.
6. Set the drilling depth so that the bit will not
contact the table - or align the table so that
the hole in its center is in line with the bit.
7. Make sure the work is securely clamped.
That is, held in a drill vise, or bolted to the table.
WARNING! Do not hold the workpiece with
your bare hands while drilling. Severe
personal serious injury may be caused if the
material is flung out of the operator's hand.
8. IF THE MATERIAL IS IRREGULARLY SHAPED and
cannot be laid flat on the table, it should be securely
blocked and clamped. Any tilting, twisting or shifting
will result not only in a roughly drilled hole but also
increases the chances of damage to the drill.
General Operating Instructions
1. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the LED Lamp if extra light is needed.
3. Set workpiece on Table.
4. Turn on the Laser to mark where
the hole is to be drilled. Make minor
workpiece alignment adjustments.
5. Turn the Drill Press on.
6. Pull down on the Feed Handle and slowly
drill the hole into the workpiece.
7. Turn Drill Press off by flipping Power Switch down.
8. To lock Drill Press in the OFF position,
remove the safety key from Power Switch and
store key in a safe place until next use.

9. FOR FLAT WORK, lay the piece on to a
wooden base and clamp it down firmly against
the table to prevent it from turning.
10. FOR SMALL MATERIALS that cannot be clamped
to the table, use a drill press vise. Make sure
the vise is clamped or bolted to the table.
11. WHEN DRILLING COMPLETELY THROUGH
WOOD, position a piece of scrap wood between the
material and the table to prevent splintering on the
underside of the material as the drill breaks through.
The scrap piece of wood must make contact with
the left side of the column. Securely clamp the
other end of the scrap wood to the table. Also, set
the depth of the drill so that the drill will not come
in contact with the table - or align the table so that
the hole in its center is in line with the drill bit.
WARNING! TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy: If
the drill bit grabs and spins the workpiece, do not
attempt to stop the spinning with your hands. Step
back, and turn the drill press off. Wait for the spindle
to stop turning before dislodging the workpiece.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then
store the tool indoors out of children's reach.
