FOR YOUR PROTECTION
I
To avoid being pulled into the power tool, do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. Always tie
back long hair.
1. If any part of your drill press is missing,
malfunctioning,
damaged or broken, stop operation
immediately until that part is properly repaired or
replaced.
2. Never place your fingers in a position where they
could contact the drill bit or other cutting tool. The
workpiece may unexpectedly shift, or your hand
could slip.
3. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your
hands, thrown, spun by the tool, or shattered, always
properly support your workpiece as follows:
a.
Always position BACKUP MATERIAL (used
beneath workpiece ) so that it contacts the left
side of the column, or use the fence provided and
a clamp to brace the workpieces.
b.
Whenever possible, position the workpiece to
contact the left side of the column. If it is too short
or the table is tilted, use the fence provided or
clamp solidly to the table, using the table slots.
c.
When using a drill press vise, always fasten it to
the table.
d. Never do any work freehand (hand-holding the
workpiece rather than supporting it on the table),
except when polishing or sanding.
e. Securely lock the head and support to the column,
the table arm to the support, and the table to the
table arm, before operating the drill press.
f.
Never move the head or the table while the tool is
running.
g. Before starting an operation, jog the motor switch
to make sure the drill or other cutting tool does
not wobble or cause vibration.
h. If a workpiece overhangs the table so it will fall or
tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide
auxiliary support.
i.
Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately
hold, guide, and position workpiece.
j.
Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the
speci c operation and workpiece material. Check
the panel on the inside pulley cover or the chart
below for drilling speed information. For
accessories, refer to the instructions provided with
each accessory.
4. Never climb on the drill press table, it could break or
pull the entire drill press down on you.
5. Turn the power switch "OFF", and put away the
safety key when leaving the drill press.
6. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, do
not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the
table while the cutting tool is rotating.
