No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

1.EYE/FACE/HAND PROTECTION. A face shield used with safety glasses is recommended. Always keep hands and fingers away from the drill bit. Never hold a workpiece by hand while drilling! DO NOT wear gloves when operating the drill.

2.SECURING BIT. Properly tighten and securely lock the drill bit in the chuck.

3.CORRECT BIT. Use only round, hex, or triangular shank drill bits.

4.ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the machine ON.

7.DAMAGED TOOLS. Never use drill bits in poor condition. Dull or damaged drill bits are hard to con- trol and may cause serious injury.

8.DRILL OPERATION. Never start the drill press with the drill bit pressed against the workpiece. Feed the drill bit evenly into the workpiece. Back the bit out frequently to clear deep holes.

9.CLEARING CHIPS. Turn the machine OFF and clear chips and scrap pieces with a brush. Disconnect power, remove drill bit, and clean table before leaving the machine.

10.OPERATING SPEED. Always operate your drill press at speeds that are appropriate for the drill bit size and the material that you are drilling.

11.MOUNTING WORKPIECES. Use clamps or vises to secure workpiece before drilling. Position work so you avoid drilling into the table.

12.TABLE LOCK. Make sure the table lock is tightened before starting the drill press.

13.MAINTENANCE/SPEED CHANGES. Never change speeds or do maintenance with the machine con- nected to power.
