SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFTY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense,
staying alert, and knowing how your bench drill
press works.
TO AVOID MISTAKES
THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DO
NOT PLUG IN THE BENCH DRILL PRESS
UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN
READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire
instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s
applications, limitations, and possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. DO
NOT use power tools in wet or damp areas or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well-lit.
3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean,
uncluttered, and well-lit. DO NOT work on floor
surfaces that are slippery with sawdust or wax.
5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE
DISTANCE FROM the work area, especially
when the tool is in operation. NEVER allow
children near the tool.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for
which it was not designed.
7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. DO NOT wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery (rings,
watches, etc.) when operating the tool.
Inappropriate items can get caught and draw you
into moving parts. ALWAYS wear non-slip
footwear, and tie back long hair.
8. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK.
Drilling into materials produces dust.
9. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from
the power supply outlet when making
adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or working
on the tool.
10. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make
sure that the power switch is in the OFF position
before plugging in the power cord.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. ALWAYS
MAKE SURE all tools are removed from the
bench drill press before turning it ON.
12. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL
UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF.
DO NOT leave the tool unattended until it has
come to a complete stop.
WARNING:
13. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious
injury could result if the tool tips or is
accidentally hit.
DO NOT store anything above or near the tool.
14. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. Wear
oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear. Keep the
floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS
keep tools clean and in good working order.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. See Maintenance section.
16. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication
that could affect your ability to use the tool
properly.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check
for alignment of moving parts, jamming,
breakage, improper mounting, or any other
conditions that may affect the tool’s operation.
Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced before use.
18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF.
Use padlocks, master switches, and ALWAYS
remove starter keys.
DUST GENERATED
FROM CERTAIN MATERIALS CAN BE
HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. ALWAYS
OPERATE THE DRILL PRESS IN A
WELL-VENTILATED AREA. USE DUST
COLLECTION SYSTEMS WHENEVER
POSSIBLE.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
A bench drill press can throw foreign objects into
the eyes which could cause permanent eye
damage.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses).
Ordinary eyeglasses have only impact-resistant
lenses...they are NOT safety glasses.
