1. Lock the table (1) to the column (2) at a position so
the tip of the drill bit (3) is just above the top of the
workpiece (4).
2. ALWAYS place a BACK-UP MATERIAL (scrap wood)
on the table beneath the workpiece. This will prevent
splintering or heavy burring on the underside of
the workpiece. To keep the back-up material from
spinning, it MUST be positioned against the LEFT
side of the column.
3. For a small piece that cannot be clamped to the
table, use a drill press vise (optional accessory).

,_I_WARNING
To avoid injury from spinning work or tool breakage,
always clamp workpiece and backup material securely
to the table before operating the drill press.
HOLDING A DRILLING LOCATION
1. Using a centerpunch or sharp nail, make an
indentation in the workpiece where you will be
drilling.
FEEDING
1. Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to
allow the drill bit to cut.
2. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn.
Feeding too rapidly might cause the belt or drill to
slip, tear the workpiece loose or break the drill bit.
3. When drilling metal, it is necessary to lubricate the
drill bit tip with oil to prevent burning of the workpiece
and bit.
