Always use clamps, or a drill vise bolted to the table, to hold the work. It should never be held in place by just your hand. 3.

clamped. Any tilting, twisting or shifting will result not only in a roughly drilled hole but also increases the chances of damage to the drill. 5. FOR FLAT WORK, lay the piece on to a wooden base and clamp it down firmly against the table to prevent it from turning. 6. FOR SMALL MATERIALS that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vice. Make sure the vice is clamped or bolted to the table. 7.
Grounding/Voltage Warning Common household current is 110-120 volts. As long as your tool is rated from 110-120V there will be no complications using this tool with household receptacles. Plug the press into a 110-120V properly grounded outlet protected by a 15-amp, dual element time delay or circuit breaker. NEVER try to plug a 110-120V tool into a 220-240V circuit (or vice versa) or serious complications and possible injury to the operator may occur. The plugs have different shapes to prevent this.
Maintenance CLEANING: Regularly clean the work surface with dry brush or clean cloth. Keep machined parts of the press lightly greased. Always keep the motor and chuck clean. Prevent metal, wood, dust and debris from accumulating in this area. If jaws do not operate smoothly, have the chuck serviced by a qualified technician. LUBRICATION: For average use, lubricate twice a year with #20-30 weight household oil. Lubricate more frequently with increased usage.
