BASIC DRILL PRESS OPERATIONS
YOUR PROTECTION
For your own safely, always observe the safety
INSTRUCTIONS listed here and on pages 3, 4, and 5
of the the instruction manual.
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 avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring, follow
instructions exactly when adjusting the spring tension
of the quill.
4. 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 a small workpiece.
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 it 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.
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 workpieces.
j. Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the
specific 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.
5. Never climb on the drill press table, it could break or
pull the entire drill press down on you.
6. Turn the motor switch "OFF", and put away the
switch key when leaving the drill press.
7. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, do
not perform layout, assembly, or set up work on the
table while the cutting tool is rotating.
