6. Stability of Dri!l Press
The drill press should be bolted to the floor;
an alternate is to securely bolt a piece of
1t2" exterior plywood to the underside of the
Base, extending to both sides, and to rear if
desired.
If the workpiece is too large to support with
one hand, provide an auxiliary support.
Location
The drill press should be positioned so
neither the operator nor a casual observer is
forced to stand in line with a potential Kick-
back.
,
8. Kickback
A kickback occurs when the workpiece is
suddenly thrown in the OPPOSITE direction
to the DIRECTION OF FEED; THIS CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. Kickbacks are
most commonly caused by:
a. Relaxing your grip of the workpiece while
surfacing or planing.
b. Taking too heavy a cut while surfacing or
planing.
c. Ignoring the instructions for surfacing or
planing.
9. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO

WHEN OPERATING DRILL PRESS.
a. if any part of your drill press is malfunc-
tioning, has been damaged or broken...
such as the motor switch, or other operat-
ing control, a safety device or the power
cord.., cease operating immediately until
the particular part is properly repaired or

ANSI Z87.1, and a face mask if operation
is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during
extended periods of operation.
c. Never place your fingers in a position
where they could contact the drill or other
cutting tool if the workpiece should
unexpectedly shift.
d. To avoid injury, follow instructions exactly
as given and shown in adjusting spring
tension of quill.
e. ALWAYS position backup material to con-
tact the left side of the column. POSITION
workpiece to butt against the column
whenever possible--if it is too short,
clamp solidly to the Table. Use table slots
or clamping ledge around outside edge of
Table. This is to prevent the drill bit from
grabbing the work from your hands. This
action would cause the workpiece to spin
with the drill, and could cause serious
injury. A drill press vise must be fastened
to the table.
f. Never perform any operation "free-hand"
.(hand-holding workpiece rather than sup-
port it on the Table), except when polish-
ing -- Wear Safety Goggles!
g. Securely lock Head and Support to Co!-
umn, Arm to Support, and Table to Arm
before operating Drill Press.
h. Never perform any operation by moving
the Head or Table with respect to one
another.
i. Before pulling the motor switch "ON", be
positive the belt guard is closed, the
Chuck is installed properly, and the drill or
other cutting tool is securely clamped in
the chuck.
j. Before starting the operation, jog the
motor switch to be sure the drill or other
cutting toot does not have excessive run-
out or cause vibration.
k. Do not operate the Dril! Press unless the
Depth Stop and Stop Nut are installed.
I. Use the spindle speed recommended for
the specific operation and workpiece
materia! - refer to panel on left side of
the Head for drilling information; for
accessories, refer to the instruction sheets
that accompany the accessories.
m. tf workpiece overhangs the Table such that
it will fall to floor if unsupported, clamp it
to the Table or provide auxiliary support,
