This drill press is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a drill press, do not use until proper training and knowledge has been obtained.

•REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

•KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

•DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.

•MAKE THE WORKSHOP KIDPROOF with padlocks, master swatches, or by removing starter keys.

•DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

•USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

•USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The table following shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

•ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

•DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

•ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING.
