d. Never do any work freehand (hand-holding the workpiece rather than supporting it on the table), except when polishing.

e. Securely lock the head and support to the column, the table arm to the support, and the table to the table arm, before operating the drill press.

f.Never move the head or table while the tool is running.

g.Before starting an operation, jog the motor switch to make sure the drill or other cutting tool does not wobble or cause vibration.

h.If a workpiece overhangs the table so it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary support.

i.Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately hold, guide, and position workpieces.

j.Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the specific operation and workpiece material. Check the panel on the inside pulley cover or the chart below for drilling speed information. For accessories, refer to the instructions provided with each accessory.

5.Never climb on the drill press table, it could break or pull the entire drill press down on you.

6.Turn the motor switch “OFF”, and put away the switch key when leaving the drill press.

7.To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, do not perform layout, assembly, or set up work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE (Fig. S and T)

1.Lock the table (1) to the column (2) at a position so the tip of the drill bit (3) is just above the top of the workpiece

(4).

2.ALWAYS place BACK-UP MATERIAL (scrap wood) on the table beneath the workpiece. This will prevent splintering or heavy burring on the underside of the workpiece. To keep the back-up material from spinning out of control, it MUST contact the LEFT side of the column.

English

WARNING

To prevent the workpiece or back-up material from being torn from your hands while drilling, you MUST position it against the LEFT side of the column. If the workpiece or the back-up material is not long enough to reach the column, use the fence provided with the drill press to brace the workpiece. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.

3.For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (optional accessory)

WARNING

The drill press vise MUST be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury from a spinning workpiece, or damaged vise or bit parts.

Remove the drill press fence when it interferes with other drill press accessories.

Fig. T

WARNING

To avoid injury from spinning work or tool breakage, always clamp workpiece and back-up material securely to the table before operating the drill press with the table tilted.

FEEDING

1.Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill bit to cut.

2.Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn. Feeding too rapidly might stop the motor, cause the belt or drill to slip, or tear the workpiece loose and break the drill bit.

3.When drilling metal, it may be necessary to lubricate the drill bit tip with motor oil, to prevent burning.
