OPERATIONS

Test Run

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.

Make sure the starting switch is off. The paddle is down when off. Make sure all the fasteners and lock handles are tight. Plug in the power cord. Pull the START paddle. Make sure that your finger is poised over the paddle,as in Figure 30, just in case there is a problem. The drill press should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises require you to stop the machine, investigate and correct before continuing. If source of unusual noise or vibration is not readily apparent, con- tact our service department for help at 360-734- 3482 or: tech-support@woodstockint.com.

DO NOT attempt to inves- tigate or adjust the machine while it is run- ning. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all work- ing parts have come to a stop before proceeding!

Always wear safety glass- es when operating drill press. Failure to comply may result in serious per- sonal injury.
