11.Disconnect machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.

12.Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13.Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14.Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, etc.

15.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16.Use proper extension cord. When using an extension cord, make sure it is in good condition. When extension cord is 100’ and less in length, use those that are rated Hard Service (grade S) or better, and that have a conductor size of 16 A.W.G. A drop in line voltage, loss of power and overheating can result when using an undersized cord. The extension cord should have a ground wire and ground plug pin, as well.

17.Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

18.Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

19.Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions in the manual.

20.Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre- ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explosion. Do not operate the machine in high risk areas, including but not limited to, those men- tioned above.

Additional Safety Instructions For Drill Presses

1.Always operate your drill press at speeds that are appropriate for the drill bit size and the mate- rial that you are drilling.

2.Feed the drill bit evenly into the workpiece. Back the bit out of deep holes and clear the chips with a brush after you have turned the machine off.

3.Make sure the drill bit you are using is tightened properly. Use only round, hex or triangular shank drill bits.

4.Never do maintenance or change speeds with this machine plugged in.

5.Never use tools that are in poor condition. Cutting tools that are dull or damaged are difficult to control and may cause serious injury.

6.Never drill sheet metal unless it is clamped securely to the table.

7.Work should be positioned in such a way as to avoid drilling into the table.

8.A face guard used with safety glasses is recommended.

9.Always clamp workpiece securely to table before drilling. Never hold a workpiece by hand while drilling.

10.Always remove handles before using oscillating feature.

11.Habits – good and bad – are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become

second-nature to you.
