General Electrical Cautions
This machine must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The machine must be grounded to protect the
user from electrical shock.
Caution:
For circuits which are far away from the electrical service box, the wire size must be increased in
order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor overheating and
burnout, the use of wire sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension cords according to the following table is
recommended:
Conductor Length
AWG Number
240 Volt Lines 120 Volt Lines
0 – 50 Ft. No. 14 No. 14
50 – 100 Ft. No. 14 No. 12
Over 100 Ft. No. 12 No. 8

Safety Instructions for Drill Presses
1. All work shall be secured using either clamps or a vise to the drill press table. It is unsafe to use your
hands to hold any workpiece being drilled.
2. Drill press head and table shall be securely locked to the column before operating the drill press. This must
always be checked prior to starting the machine.
3. Always use the correct tooling. Tooling shall always be maintained and properly sharpened. All tooling
must be run at the proper speeds and feeds as they apply to the job. Use only recommended accessories
and follow those manufacturer’s instructions pertaining to them. Tooling shall not be forced into any
workpiece but fed according to the proper specifications. Failure to follow these instructions will not only
ruin the tooling as well as the machine, but can cause serious injury.
4. Never brush away shavings or chips while the machine is in operation. All clean up should be done after
the machine is stopped.
5. Keep hands in sight. Do not put hands or fingers around, on, or below any rotating cutting tools. Leather
safety gloves should be used when handling any sharp objects or cutting tools. See Figure 1A.
6. Always use protective eyewear when operating, servicing or adjusting machinery. Eyewear shall be impact
resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields complying with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye
wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe injury from breakage of
eye protection. See Figure 1B.
7. When drilling in material which causes dust, a dust mask shall be worn. See Figure 1C.
8. Avoid contact with coolant, especially guarding the eyes.
9. Non-slip footwear and safety shoes are recommended. See Figure 1D.
10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation. See Figure 1E.
