auxiliary support.
(9) Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately hold, guide and position the workpiece.
(10) Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the specific operation and workpiece material — check the
panel inside the pulley cover for drilling information; for accessories, refer to the instructions provided with
the accessories.
e. Never climb on the drill press table; it could break or pull the entire drill press down on you.
f. Turn the motor switch "OFF" and unplug from power source when not in operation.
g. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on
the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
h. Clamp workpiece or brace against column to prevent rotation.
i. Before starting, be certain chuck key is removed from chuck and that motor head and table are locked. j.
Keep pulley cover closed when not making belt adjustments.
k. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
3) USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS DRILL PRESS TO AVOID SERIOUS
INJURY FROM THROWN, BROKEN PARTS OR WORK PIECES.
(1)WHEN CUTTING LARGE DIAMETER HOLES: Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise the cutter
may grab and spin at high speed. Use only onepiece, cup-type, hole cutters. DO NOT use fly cutters or
multi-part hole cutters as they come apart or become unbalanced in use.
(2)Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on this drill press at a speed greater than the speed rating of the
drum sander.
(3)Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 7" in length or extends 6" below the chuck jaws. They can
suddenly bend outward or break.
(4)Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill
press.
(5)Use recommended speed for drill accessory and workpiece material.
(6)Accessories must be rated for at least the spindle speed setting of the drill press. This drill press has 5
spindle speeds. Check spindle speed setting of the drill press based on pulley speed chart located inside the
pulley housing. Ensure accessories used has a higher speed rating than the current spindle speed setting of
the drill press. Accessories running over its rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
4) DIRECTION OF FEED FOR DRUM SANDING
Feed workpiece into a sanding drum or other approved accessory, against the direction of rotation. A
kickback occurs when workpiece suddenly binds on the cutting edge of the tool and the workpiece is
thrown by the cutter in the direction of the cutter's rotation. This can cause serious injury.
5) THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE
DRILL PRESS IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your drill press) to become commonplace. Always
remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury. The operation of any
power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles before commencing power tool operation. Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
(1)Lead from lead-based paints,
(2)Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
(3)Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
