Safety Instructions for Basic Drill Press Operation

Read the following instructions for
operating your drill press to get the
best results and to minimize the likeli-
hood of personal injury.

Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears

Dress for safety
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist
watches). They can get caught and
draw you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To reduce
the risk of possible hearing damage,
wear ear plugs or muffs when using
drill press for hours at a time.
Plan Your Work
• Don't force the tool. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
• Use the right tool. Don't force tool or
attachment to do a job it was not
designed to do.
• If any part of your drill press is miss-
ing, malfunctioning, has been dam-
aged or broken...such as the motor
switch, or other operating control, a
safety device or the power cord, turn
the drill press off and unplug it until
the particular part is properly
repaired or replaced.
• Never place your fingers in a posi-
tion where they could contact the
drill or other cutting tool if the work-
piece should unexpectedly shift or
your hand should slip.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
parts thrown by the spring, follow
instructions exactly as given and
shown in adjusting spring tension
of quill.
