Additional Safety Precautions
•
Turn off main power to the machine and wait for the drill bit, or cutting tool to stop turning
before removing debris, removing or securing the piece part, or changing the position of the
work table.
•
Never expose your hands or limbs to the cutting area while the machine is operating.
•
When the machine is NOT in use, the drill bit or tool should NOT be rotating.
•
Never leave the machine running while unattended. Turn the power OFF. Do not leave the
machine until the spindle comes to a complete stop.
•
Hold the piece part firmly against the table. DO NOT attempt to drill a piece part that does
not have a flat surface against the table, or that is not secured by a vise. Prevent the piece
part from rotating by clamping it to the table or by securing it against the drill press column.

Properly lock the drill bit, cutting tool, or sanding drum in the chuck before operating the
machine.

Check safety equipment, such as safety covers, emergency stop buttons, safety mats,
railings, light booms, ramps, and warning signs.

Make sure electrical cables are well protected from damage. Check insulation periodically for
wear.

Never use the drill press without the swing-away safety guard.
•
Make sure the actuator of the limit switch is seated in the
detent of the round pad or the machine will not run.
