6.Stability of Dritl Press

If there is any tendency for the drill press to tip over or move during certain operations such as shaping, the drill press should be bolted to the floor.

If the workpiece is too large to support with one hand, provide an auxiliary support.

7.Location

The drill press should be positioned so neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with a potential Kickback.

8.Kickback

A kickback occurs when the workpiece is suddenly thrown in the OPPOSITE direction to the DIRECTION OF FEED; WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

Kickbacks are most commonly caused by:

a.Relaxing your grip of the workpiece while shaping or routing.

b.Taking too heavy a cut while shaping or routing.

c.Ignoring the instructions for shaping or routing.

9.Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY DON'T

WEAR GLOVES WHEN OPERATING A DRILL PRESS

a.If any part of your drill press is malfunctioning,

has been damaged or broken ... such as the

motor switch, or other operating control, a

safety device or the power cord ... cease

operating immediately until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.

b.Wear safety goggles that comply with ANS

Z87.1, and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.

c. Never place your fingers in a position where they could contact the drill or other cutting

tool (router bit, shaper cutter, etc.) if the

workpiece should unexpectedly shift. (For

instance, hold-down!push blocks must be used when shaping on the drill press to keep hands

remote from the cutter if a kickback should

occur.)

d. Never operate drill press with protective cover on the unused shaft end of the motor removed.

e. 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 injury. A drill press vise must be fastened to the tabte.

f. Never perform any operation "free-hand"

(hand-holding workpiece rather than support it

on the Table), except wire brushing and polishing -- Wear Safety Goggles. _

g. Never perform internal or curved shaping

operations. Perform straight line shaping ONLY (with the Shaper Fence Accessory).

h. Never perform any operation by moving the Head or Table with respect to one another. Do not pull the motor switch "ON" or start any operation before checking that Head and Table Lock Handles are clamped tight to Column, and Head and Table Support Collars are correctly positioned.

i. Before pulling the motor switch "'ON", be positive the belt guard is down, the Chuck is installed properly, and the drill or other cutting tool is securely clamped in the chuck.

j. Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to be sure the drill or other cutting tool

does not have excessive runout or cause vibration.

k.Do not operate the Drill Press unless the Depth Stop and Stop Nut are instal!ed and the Depth Stop clamped to the Depth Stop Rod.

I.Never pull out on the hub of the quill Hub Assembly unless you first grasp and support the

Quill, otherwise the Quiti will drop and damage may result.

m. Use the spindle speed recommended for the

specific operation and workpiece material - refer to panel on right side of the Head for

drilling information, and for accessories, to the

instruction sheets that accompany the accessories.

n. If workpiece overhangs the Table such that it

will fall to floor if unsupported, clamp it to the Table or provide auxiliary support,

o. Use fixtures for unusual operations to

adequately hold, guide and position workpiece for best quality and minimum hazard.

p. Be sure to lock Quill securely for all routing,

sanding, surfacing, shaping, and dovetailing operations.

q.Never climb on the drill press Table.

r.Lock the motor Switch and put away the Key when leaving the drill press.

s.DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

10, Use only accessories designed for this drill press.

a. Holesaws must NEVER be operated on this drill press at a speed greater than 380 RPM,

b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on this drill press at a speed greater titan 720 RPM.

c. Do not exceed the speed recommended for the

drill size in wood when using the mortising bit and chisel.

(See chart on R.H. trim panel of the drill press.)

d.Do not install or use any drill that exceeds 7" in length or extends 6" below the chuck jaws.

11.Note and Follow the Safety Rules that Appear on the Panel on the Left Side of the Head:
