General electrical cautions

This drill press should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded to protect the user from electrical shock.

Wire sizes

Caution: for circuits which are far away from the electrical service box, the wire size must be increased in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension cords according to the following table is recommended.

2.Drill press head and table shall be securely locked to the column before operating the drill press. This must always be checked prior to starting the machine.

3.Always use the correct tooling. Tooling shall always be maintained and properly sharpened. All tooling must be run at the proper speeds and feeds as they apply to the job. Use only recommended accessories and follow those manufacturers instruc- tions pertaining to them. Tooling shall be not be forced in to any workpiece but fed according to the proper specifications. Failure to follow these instructions will not only ruin the tooling as well as the machine, but can cause serious injury.

4.Never brush away any chips while the machine is in operation. All clean up should be done when the machine is stopped.

5.Keep hands in sight. Do not put hands or

fingers around, on, or below any rotating cutting tools. Leather safety gloves should be used when

handling any sharp objects or cutting tools. See Figure A.

6.Always wear protective eye wear when operating, servicing or adjusting machinery. Eyewear shall be impact resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields complying with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of the eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe injury from breakage of eye protection. Figure B.

7.When drilling in material which causes dust, a dust mask shall be worn. See Figure C.

8.Avoid contact with coolant, especially guarding the eyes.

9.Non-slip footwear and safety shoes are recom- mended. See Figure D.

10.Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation. See Figure E.
