RULES for SAFE OPERATION
MAGNUM INDUSTRIAL MI-76100 and MI 76150 DRILL PRESSES
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the how to operate the machine and understand its
applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. KMS Tools and Equipment disclaims any real or implied warranty
and holds itself harmless for any injury that may result from the improper use of its equipment.
•
Do not operate the drill press when tired, distracted or
under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that
impairs reflexes or alertness.
•
Ensure your working area well lit, clean and free of debris.
•
Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the drill
press is operating. Do not permit them to operate the drill
press.
•
Prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use by child
proofing and tamper proofing your shop and all machinery
with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys.
•
Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a
momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
•
Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous
to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever
possible use a dust collector. Wear face, eye, ear,
respiratory and body protection devices.
•
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or
other jewelry while the drill press is in operation.
•
Remove adjusting wrenches, tools and other clutter
from the machine and the table surface before using the
machine.
•
Keep hands well away from the bit, chuck and all moving
parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and
dust.
•
Always use a clean, sharp drill bit. Dirty or dull bits are
unsafe and can lead to accidents.
•
Ensure that the key and adjusting wrenches have been
removed before turning power on.
•
Use suitable workpiece support if the workpiece does not
have a flat surface.
•
Hold material firmly against the table.
•
Do not work on long stock without adequate support on
the either side of the table.
•
Do not force the drill press. The drill press will perform
better and more safely when working at the rate for which
it was designed.
•
Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do
not overreach and keep both feet on floor.
•
Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must
be removed for maintenance or cleaning, properly re-
attach it before using the tool again.
•
Never leave the machine unattended while it is running or
with the power on.
•
Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the
tool is tipped over or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
•
Always disconnect the machine from the power source
before servicing or changing accessories such as blades, or
before performing any maintenance or cleaning, or if the
machine will be left unattended.
•
Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in
the power cord.
•
Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped with
a three-prong plug it should be used with a three-pole
receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
•
Do not use this drill press for other than its intended use.
If used for other purposes, KMS Tools and Equipment
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself
harmless for any injury that may result from that use.
