Use and Care Manual

25. Maintain tools with care. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
26. Turn off machine and disconnect from power
before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air
to remove chips or debris; do not use bare
hands.
27. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
28. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over.
29. Make sure the workpiece is securely attached
or clamped to the table. Never use your hand to
hold the workpiece – the bit may seize in the
workpiece and rotate, causing injury.
30. Secure the drill press to the floor if there is any
tendency for it to tip over, walk or slide during
operation.
31. The drill press is intended for industrial use
only.
32. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 (sect. 7.3) shows correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
