YOUR PROTECTION
WARNING
To avoid being pulled into the power tool, 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 tool. The workpiece may unexpectedly shift, or your hand could slip.
3.To avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring, follow instructions exactly when adjusting the spring tension of the quill.
4.To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your hands, thrown, spun by the tool, or shattered, always properly support your workpiece as follows:
a.Always position BACKUP MATERIAL (used beneath workpiece ) so that it contacts the left side of the column, or use the fence provided and a clamp to brace a small workpiece.
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 it 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
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 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.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.
