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 in to any work piece 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 any chips while the
machine is in operation. All clean up should
be done when 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 A.
6. Always wear protective eye wear 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.
