MAINTENANCE
For your own safety, turn the switch off
and remove the plug from the power
source outlet before maintaining or
lubricating your drill press.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Frequently blow out dust and grit that
accumulates in the motor housing using
compressed air.
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
● ANSI Z87.1 eye protection
(CAN/CSA Z94.3),
● ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
● NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory
protection.
A coat of automotive paste wax applied to
the table and column will help to keep the
surface clean.
If replacing the batteries, take out the old
batteries and replace with new AA batteries.
When replacing the batteries, the battery
guide should be thoroughly cleaned. Use a
soft paintbrush or similar device, to remove all
sawdust and debris. Dispose off old batteries
properly. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon - zinc),
or rechargeable (nickel - cadmium) batteries.
Batteries are to be inserted with the correct
polarity. Do not charge the battery which is
not a rechargeable battery.
To avoid shock or re hazard, if the power
lead is worn or cut in any way, replace it
immediately.
LUBRICATION
Ball bearings in the drill press are packed
with grease at the factory and require no
further lubrication.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean
the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into
a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY
and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance
and adjustment (other than those listed

authorized service centers or other qualied
service organizations, always using identical
