Before Operating
Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Before operating your Drill Press check for damaged parts.
Make certain that the power is OFF before plugging the tool in.
Make sure all clamps, locks and bolts are tight.
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the machine work surface
before plugging it in.
Use grounded receptacle only for 120 Volt hook-up.
Give the Drill Press a test run. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates irregularly, turn it off, unplug it and
have the problem corrected by a qualified technician.
Make certain to turn off and unplug the Drill Press when doing any maintenance. The tool should always be
turned off and unplugged when not in use.
Keep Guards in place and in working order.
Note:
Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension Cord usage
may also affect tool performance.
Grounding/Voltage Warning
Common household current is 110-120 volts. As long as the outlet used with the tool is rated from 110-120V
there will be no complications using it with household receptacles. Plug the tool into a 110-120V properly
grounded outlet protected by a 15-amp, dual element time delay or circuit breaker.
NEVER try to plug a 110-120V tool into a 220-240V circuit or serious complications and possible injury to the
operator may occur. The plugs have different shapes to prevent this.
This tool has a three-prong plug. The third (round) prong is the ground. Cutting off the ground will result in a
safety hazard and void the warranty.
