Additional Safety Rules
c. To avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring, follow the instructions exactly as given and shown in “SPINDLE RETURN SPRING” section on Page 15.
d. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your hands, spinning on the table, shattering the tool, or being thrown, always support your work so it won’t shift or bind on the tool.
• Always position “backup material” (used beneath the workpiece) to contact the left side of the column.
• Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact the left side of the column — if it is short or the table is tilted, clamp solidly to the table. Use table slots or clamping ledge around the outside edge of the table.
• When using a drill press vise, always fasten to the table.
• Never do any work “free hand” (hand holding a work- piece rather than supporting it on the table), except when polishing.
• Securely lock head and table support to column, and table to table support before operating drill press.
• Never move the head or table support while the tool is running.
• Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to make sure the drill bit or other cutting tool does not wobble or cause vibration.
• If a workpiece overhangs the table such that it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary support.
• Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately hold, guide and position the workpiece.
• Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the spe- cific operation and workpiece material — check the panel inside the pulley cover for drilling information; for accessories, refer to the instructions provided with the accessories.
e. Never climb on the drill press table; it could break or pull the entire drill press down on you.
f. Turn the motor switch “OFF” and unplug from power source when not in operation.
g. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
h. Clamp workpiece or brace against column to prevent
rotationi. .
Before starting, be certain chuck key is removed from chuck and that motor head and table are locked.

j. Keep pulley cover closed when not making belt | ||
adjustments. |
| |
k. | Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. | |
12. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR | ||
THIS DRILL PRESS TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY | ||
FROM THROWN, BROKEN PARTS OR WORK | ||
PIECES. |
| |
a. WHEN CUTTING LARGE DIAMETER HOLES: | ||
Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise the | ||
cutter may grab and spin at high speed. Use only one- | ||
piece, | ||
unbalanced in use. | ||
b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on this | ||
drill press at a speed greater than the speed rating | ||
of the drum sander. | ||
c. Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 7" | ||
in length or extends 6" below the chuck jaws. They | ||
can suddenly bend outward or break. | ||
d. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper | ||
cutters, circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this | ||
drill press. |
| |
e. Use recommended speed for drill accessory and | ||
workpiece material. | ||
f. Accessories must be rated for at least the spindle | ||
speed setting of the drill press. This drill press has 5 | ||
spindle speeds. Check spindle speed setting of the drill | ||
press based on pulley speed chart located inside the | ||
pulley housing. Ensure accessories used has a higher | ||
speed rating than the current spindle speed setting of | ||
the drill press. Accessories running over its rated speed | ||
can fly apart and cause injury. | ||
13. DIRECTION OF FEED FOR DRUM SANDING | ||
|
| Feed workpiece into a sanding drum or |
! | WARNING | |
| other approved accessory, against the | |
direction of rotation. | ||
! WARNING | A kickback occurs when workpiece | |
suddenly binds on the cutting edge of the | ||
tool and the workpiece is thrown by the cutter in the direction of the cutter’s rotation. This can cause serious injury.
