ddiTional safeTy insTrUcTions for drill presses
Warning!
For your own safety, do not attempt to operate your drill press until it is completely assembled
and installed according to the instructions and until you have read and understand this manual,
especially the safety instructions.
• stability: if there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or move during any use, bolt it to the work bench. if the
workpiece is too large to easily support with one hand, provide an auxiliary support.
• Location. Use the drill press in a well lit area and on a level surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of
tripping, slipping or falling. Use it where neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with a
potential kickback.
• Kickback. Kickback is the grabbing of the workpiece by the rotating tool. the workpiece can be thrown at very high
speed in the direction of rotation. this can cause serious injury. to reduce the possibility of injury from kickback:
• clamp the workpiece firmly to the table whenever possible.
• Use only recommended accessories and follow the instructions supplied with the accessory.
• protect the following body parts: eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
• if any part of your drill press is missing, malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken – such as the motor switch or
other operating control, a safety device or the power cord – turn the drill press off and unplug it until the particular
part is properly repaired or replaced.
• never place your fingers in a position where they could contact the drill or other cutting tool of the workpiece
should unexpectedly shift or your hand should slip.
• to avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring, follow the instructions exactly as given and shown in adjusting
spring tension of quill.
• to prevent the workpiece from being torn from your hands, spinning of the tool, shattering the tool or being
thrown, always properly support your work so it won’t shift or bind on the tool.
• always position backup material (use beneath the workpiece) to contact the left side of the column. Whenever
possible, position the workpiece to contact the left side of the column. you should always clamp the workpiece to
the table. Use table slots or clamping ledge around the outside edge of the table.
• When using a drill press vise, always fasten it to a table.
• never do any free-hand work (handholding workpiece rather than supporting it on the table).
• Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to make sure the drill or other cutting tool does not wobble or
cause vibration.
• never move the head or table while the tool is running.
• Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to make sure the drill or other cutting tool does not wobble or
cause vibration.
• if a workpiece overhangs the table, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary support.
• Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately hold, guide and position workpiece.
• Use the spindle speed recommended for the specific operation and workpiece material – check the inside of the
belt guard for drilling information; for accessories, refer to the instructions provided with the accessories.
• noise level: ca. 69,6 dB(a). always wear hearing protection, to protect against background noise and high noise
levels in case of malfunctioning or wrong usage.
• never climb on the drill press table, it could break or pull the entire drill press down on you.
• turn the motor switch off and put away the switch key when leaving the drill press.
• to avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, do not perform lay-out, assembly or setup work on the table,
while the cutting tool is rotating.
