attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

16.Use only recommended accessories and follow manufacturers instructions pertaining to them.

17.Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving parts and cutting surfaces.

18.All visitors should be kept at a safe distance

from the work area. Make workshop completely safe by using padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

19.Know the tool you are using — its applica- tion, limitations, and potential hazards.

General Electrical Cautions

This machine should be grounded in accor- dance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The machine 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:

Conductor length

AWG (American wire gauge) number

 

 

 

240 volt lines

120 volt lines

0-50 feet

No. 14

Safety instructions on drill presses

6

1.All work shall be secured using either clamps or a vise to the drill press table. It is unsafe to use your hands to hold any workpiece being drilled.

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 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 eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe injury from breakage of eye protection. See figure B.

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

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

9.Non-slip footwear and safety shoes are recommended. See figure D.

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