ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. T)
The ON / OFF switch has a removable, safety switch key.
With the key removed from the switch, unauthorized and haz-
ardous use by children and others are minimized as the switch
can not be turned on without the key.

of the switch (1). Move the switch upward to the "ON"
position.
2. To turn the drill press "OFF", move the switch downward.
3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the sides of
the safety switch key, and pull it out.
4. With the switch key removed, the switch will not turn the
power tool on.
5. If the switch key is removed while the drill press is running,
it can be turned "OFF" but cannot be restarted without
inserting the switch key.
ALWAYS lock the switch "OFF" when

USING THE FENCE (FIG. V)
The fence provides a way of accurately and quickly setting up
the workpiece for precision or for repitive drilling operations.
1. Using a centerpunch or sharp nail, make an indentation in
the workpiece where you want to drill.
2. Align the laser lines (x) with the indentation on the
workpiece.
3. Loosen the knobs (1) and slide the fence back stop (2)
firmly against the long side of the workpiece. Tighten the
knobs when in position.
