b, Whenever possible, position the WORKPIECE to contact the left side of the column. If it is too short

or the table is tilted, use the fence provided or clamp solidly to the table, using the table slots.

c.When using a drill press vise, always fasten it to the table.

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 table support to the column, and the table to the table support, before operating the drill press.

f.Never move the head or the 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.tf a workpiece overhangs the table so it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide

au.'kiliarysupport.

POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPiECE

(FIGURE AA and IBB)

1.Lock the table (!) 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 a 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.

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

HOLDING A DRiLMNG LOCATION

1.Using a Centerpunch or sharp nail, make an indentation in the workpiece where YoUwant the hole.

2.Using the feed handles, bring the drill down to align with the indentation before turning the drill "ON".

TILTING THE TABLE (FIGURE CC}

NOTE: The table and support (1) has a predrilled hole with a locking pin inserted for locking the table into a predetermined 0° horizontal position.

1, To use the table in a bevel (tilted) position; TIGHTEN the nut (2) on the locking pin clockwise to RELEASE it from the table support.

2.Loosen the large hex head bevel Jocking bott (3).

To prevent injury, be sure tO hold the table & table arm assembly, So it will not swivel or tilt.

sure the switch is in the "OFF" position, the switch key is removed, and the plug is not connected to the power source outlet before removing or installing the chuck.

BASIC OPERATnON INSTRUCTIONS

To get the best results and minimize the likelihood of personal injury, follow these instructions for operating your drill press.

i.Use the fence provided or other fixtures for unusual operations to adequately hold, guide, and position workpiece.

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.

3. Tilt the table, aligning the desired angle measurement

to the zero line opposite the scale (4). Tighten the bevel

To avoid being pulled into the power toot, do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. Always tie back long hair.

1.If any part of your drill press is missing, malfunctioning, damaged or broken, stop operation immediately until that part is properly repaired or replaced.

2.Never place your fingers in a position where they could contact the drill bit or other cutting too]. The workpiece may unexpectedly shift, or your hand could slip.
