10.Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be drilled.
11.Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact the left side of the column; if it is too short or the table is tilted, clamp solidly to the table.
12.If the workpiece overhangs the table such that it will
fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary support.
13.Set the drill press to a speed appropriate to the job.
14.Do not start the drill press while the drill bit is touching the workpiece.
15.When using a drill press vice, always fasten it to the table.
16.Make sure all clamps and locks are firmly tightened before drilling.
17.Securely lock the head and table support to the column, and the table to the table support before operating your drill press.

21.Do not perform layout assembly or setup work on the table while the drill press is in operation.
22.Do not exceed the rpm stated on the bit or accessory. See the instructions that come with the accessory.
23.When drilling large diameter holes, clamp the workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit may grab and spin the workpiece at high speed. Do not use fly cutters or
24.Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching the workpiece.
25.To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn the switch off and unplug the drill press before installing or removing any accessory attachment or making any adjustment.
