16. Use only recommended accessories and
follow manufacturer's instructions pertaining
to them.
17. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving
parts and cutting surfaces.
18. All visitors should be kept a safe distance
from the work
This machine should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The machine should be grounded to
protect the user from electrical shock.
Caution: For circuits which are far away from the electrical service box, the wire size must be increased
in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor
overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension cords according
to the following table is recommended:
Conductor Length
0 – 50 Ft.
50 – 100 Ft.
Over 100 Ft.
1. All work shall be secured using either clamps or a vise to the drill press table. It is unsafe to use your
hands to hold any workpiece being drilled.
2. Drill press head and table shall be securely locked to the column before operating the drill press. This
must always be checked prior to starting the machine.
3. Always use the correct tooling. Tooling shall always be maintained and properly sharpened. All
tooling must be run at the proper speeds and feeds as they apply to the job. Use only recommended
accessories and follow those manufacturer's instructions pertaining to them. Tooling shall not be
forced into any workpiece but fed according to the proper specifications. Failure to follow these
instructions will not only ruin the tooling as well as the machine, but can cause serious injury.
4. Never brush away shavings or chips while the machine is in operation. All clean up should be done
after the machine is stopped.
5. Keep hands in sight. Do not put hands or fingers around, on, or below any rotating cutting tools.
Leather safety gloves should be used when handling any sharp objects or cutting tools. See Figure A.
6. Always wear protective eye wear when operating, servicing or adjusting machinery. Eyewear shall be
impact resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields complying with ANSI Z87.1 specifications.
Use of eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe injury
from breakage of eye protection. See Figure B.
7. When drilling in material which causes dust, a dust mask shall be worn. See Figure C.
8. Avoid contact with coolant, especially guarding the eyes.
9. Non-slip footwear and safety shoes are recommended. See Figure D.
10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation. See Figure E.
