Tool Care
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is misuse and may result in dangerous conditions.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
!Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure voltageWARNINGsupplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate
rating is harmful to the motor.

9. | STABILITY OF THE DRILL PRESS | |
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or move | ||
during any use, bolt it to the bench top or to a piece of | ||
3/4" exterior plywood large enough to stabilize the drill | ||
press. Bolt the plywood to the underside of the base so | ||
it extends beyond the sides of the base. DO NOT USE | ||
PRESSED WOODS PANELS. They can break | ||
unexpectedly. If the workpiece is too large to easily | ||
support with one hand, provide an auxiliary support. | ||
10. LOCATION | ||
Use the drill press in a well lit area and on a level | ||
surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of | ||
trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the | ||
casual observer is forced to stand in line with a potential | ||
kickback. | ||
11. PROTECTION: Eyes, hands, ears and body. | ||
