labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while
taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
20. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must
be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating
up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical
damage to the tool. This tool requires use of an extension cord of 0 to 12 amps
capability (up to 50 feet), with wire size rated at 16 AWG. Longer extension cords
require larger size wire (smaller AWG number). If you are using the tool outdoors, use
an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).

workpiece with your hands.
22. Never leave Drill Press running unattended. Turn the power OFF.
23. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
regularly by a qualified technician.

Drill Press Safety Warnings and Precautions
1. Secure the Drill Press Base to a table using Bolts (not supplied). The table must be
appropriate for use with a drill press and be located on a hard, flat, level surface.
2. Locate the Drill Press in an area where you walk around it unhampered.
3. Avoid kickback and grabbing by clamping the workpiece to the table, or use a vise that
is secured to the table. If the workpiece begins to spin, do not attempt to stop it with
your hands. Turn the motor OFF, and wait until it stops spinning before attempting to
remove it.
4. Avoid being caught and pulled into the spinning chuck. Do not wear gloves, long
sleeve shirts, ties, or jewelry. Long hair must be bundled behind the head.
5. Never place hands and arms near the workpiece to avoid the possibility of the
workpiece coming loose and striking you.
6. Before drilling, turn on the motor and check for bit wobble or machine vibration. If this
is found, correct the problem before drilling.
7. Set the proper spindle speed for the specific drilling operation.
8. When finished with the Drill Press, always press the Switch to the OFF position.
