3.2 General safety notes
Wood and metalworking machines can be dangerous if not
used properly. Therefore the appropriate general technical
rules as well as the following notes must be observed.
Read and understand the entire instruction manual before
attempting assembly or operation.
Keep this operating instruction close by the machine,
protected from dirt and humidity, and pass it over to the new
owner if you part with the tool.
No changes to the machine may be made.
Daily inspect the function and existence of the safety
appliances before you start the machine.
Do not attempt operation in this case, protect the machine

wear gloves.
Wear goggles when working
Install the machine so that there is sufficient space for safe
operation and workpiece handling.
Keep work area well lighted.
The machine is designed to operate in closed rooms and
must be placed stable on a firm and levelled table surface.
Make sure that the power cord does not impede work and
cause people to trip.
Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap
material, oil and grease.
Never reach into the machine while it is operating or running
down.
Stay alert!
Give your work undivided attention. Use common sense. Do
not operate the machine when you are tired.

Never leave a running machine unattended.
Before you leave the workplace switch off the machine.
Do not operate the electric tool near inflammable liquids or
gases.
Observe the fire fighting and fire alert options, for example
the fire extinguisher operation and place.
Do not use the machine in a dump environment and do not
expose it to rain.
Before machining, remove any nails and other foreign
bodies from the workpiece.
Work only with well sharpened tools.
Machine only stock which rests securely on the table.
Always close the chuck guard and pulley cover before you
start the machine.
Remove the chuck key and wrenches before machine
operation.
Specifications regarding the maximum or minimum size of
the workpiece must be observed.
Do not remove chips and workpiece parts until the machine
is at a standstill.
Do not stand on the machine.
Connection and repair work on the electrical installation may
be carried out by a qualified electrician only.
Have a damaged or worn power cord replaced immediately.
Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the
machine unplugged from the power source.
Never place your fingers in a position where they could
contact the drill or other cutting tool if the work piece should
unexpectedly shift or your hand should slip.
Secure workpiece against rotation. Use fixtures, clamps or a
vice to hold the workpiece.
Never hold the workpiece with your hands alone.
Whenever possible, position the work piece to contact the
left side of the column.
If it is too short or the table is tilted, clamp solidly to the
table.
Use the table slots or clamping ledge around the outside of
the table.
When using a drill press vice, always fasten it to the table.
Never do any works “freehand” (hand-holding the work piece
rather than supporting it on the table), except when
polishing.
Securely lock the head to the column and the table bracket
to the column before operating the press.
Never move the head or the table while the machine is
running.
If a work piece overhangs the table such that it will fall or tip
if not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary support.

When using the machine according to regulations some
remaining hazards may still exist.
The rotating drill bit can cause injury.
Thrown workpieces and workpiece parts can lead to injury.
