basic			drill		press			operation
We	recommend		the	following		instructions			for operating	properly	and that the cutting tool is not causing
your	drill	press so		that	you	get	the	best	results and to
										excessive	vibration.
minimize		the likelihood		of	personal		injury.

3. Never perform any operation freehand (hand-holding

workpiece rather than supporting it on table) except

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYSwhen wire brushing or polishing,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

4,

I.Check spindle speed

5.

2. Before operating, turn the switch "on" then "off" to make sure that the cutting tool is centered in the chuck

Keep your hands clear of the cutting tool (drill, shaper cutter or router bit).

Make sure quill is locked securely when shaping,

routing, dovetailing, wirebrushing, polishing sanding or surface planing.

INSTALLING DRILLS

Insert drill into chuck far enough to obtain maximum

GRIPPING of the CHUCK JAWS . . . the jaws are appox. 1

in. long. When using a small drill do not insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes (spiral grooves) of the drill.

Make sure that the drill is CENTERED in the chuck before tightening the chuck with the key.

Tighten the drill sufficiently, so that it does not SLIP while drilling.

POSITIONING TABLE AND WORKPIECE

Lock the table to the column in a position so that the tip of

the drill is just a little above the top of the workpiece. It is

not necessary to reposition the TABLE SUPPORT

COLLAR each time you reposition the table. Always keep the collar locked about 34 in, from the floor:

Always place a piece of BACK-UP MATERIAL (wood,

plywood , . ,) on the table underneath the workpiece. This

will prevent "splintering" or making a heavy burr on the underside of the workpiece as the drill breaks through,

Position workpiece to butt against the column whenever possible - if it is too short, clamp solidly to the Table - this is to prevent the drill bit from grabbing the work from your hands, which could result in personal injuryl A drill press vise must be fastened to the table.

CAUTION: To prevent the workpiece or the back-upmaterial from being torn from your hand while drilling, position them against the left side of the column. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.

CAUTION: If the workpiece or the back-upmaterial are not long enough to reach the column, CLAMP them to the

table. Failure to do this couJd result in personal injury.

For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a

drill press vise (Optional accessory). The vise must be clamped or bolted to the table.
