Positioning Table And Workpiece - Craftsman 143.213150 Owner's Manual

POSiTIONiNG TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Lock the table to the column in a position so that the
tip of the drill is just a little above the top of the work-
piece.
Always place a piece of BACK-UP MATERIAL (wood.
plywood..) on the table underneath the workpiece.
This will prevent "splintering" or making a heavy burr
on the underside of the workpiece as the drill breaks
through. To keep the backup material from spinning
outof control, it must contact the left side of the column,
as illustrated.
WARNING: TO PREVENT THE WORKPIECE OR THE
BACKUP MATERIAL FROM BEING TORN FROM
YOUR HAND WHILE DRILLING, POSITION THEI_/I
AGAINST THE LEFT SIDE OF THE COLUMN. iF THE
WORKPICE OR THE BACKUP MATERIAL ARE NOT
LONG ENOUGH TO REACH THE COLUMN, CLAMP
THEM TO THE TABLE. FAILURE TO DO THiS
COULD RESULT iN PERSONAL INJURY.

For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table,
