Specific safety r ules for the drill press
WARNING: Do not operate the drill press until it is completely assembled and installed according to
the instructions.
1. Never turn the drill press on until the table is clear of all foreign objects (tools, scraps, etc.).
2. Always keep hands and fingers away from the drill bit.
3. Do not drill materials that do not have a flat surface—unless a suitable support is used (clamp or vise).
4. Never start the drill press with the drill bit pressed against the workpiece.
5. Make sure the table lock is tightened before starting the drill press.
6. Never layout, assemble, or set-up any work on the table while the drill is on.
7. Make sure drill bit is securely locked in the chuck.
8. Make sure chuck key is removed from the chuck before turning power on.
9. Adjust the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into the table.
10. Always stop the drill before removing scrap pieces from the table.
11. Use clamps or a vise to secure a workpiece to the table. This will prevent the workpiece from rotating
with the drill bit.
12. Do not wear gloves when operating a drill press.
13. Set the drill press to the speed that is appropriate for the material being drilled.
14. Should any part of the drill press be missing, damaged, or any electrical component fail to perform
properly, shut the power OFF and unplug the drill press. Replace missing, damaged, or failed parts
before resuming operation.
15. Before leaving the machine, shut the power off, remove the drill bit, and clean the table.
