For your own safety, read the owner’s manual before operating the drill press.
This drill press is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel
only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a drill press, do not use until
proper training and knowledge has been obtained.
•
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
•
KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. Avoid placing any part of your body
near belts, cutters, gears, etc.
•
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
•
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and work benches invite accidents.
•
DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations,
or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
•
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
•
MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
•
DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was
designed.
•
USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
•
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
•
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
•
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
•
DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
•
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING.
•
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in.
•
NEVER STAND ON A MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips or if the drill bit is
unintentionally contacted.
•
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
•
NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
•
SOME DUST created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead based paint.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
