BASIC OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
To get the best results and minimize the
likelihood of personal injury, follow these
instructions for operating your drill press.
For your own safety, always observe the
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS listed on pages 4,
5, 6 and 7 of this instruction manual when
operating the drill press.
POSITIONING THE TABLE AND
WORKPIECE (FIG. X, Y)
1. Lock the table (1) to the column (2) at a
position so the tip of the drill bit (3) is just
above the top of the workpiece (4).
2. ALWAYS place a BACK-UP MATERIAL
(scrap wood) on the table beneath the
workpiece. This will prevent splintering
or heavy burring on the underside of the
workpiece. To keep the back-up material
from spinning, it MUST be positioned
against the LEFT side of the column.
To prevent the workpiece or backup
material from being torn from your
hands while drilling, you MUST
position it against the LEFT side of the
column. If the workpiece or the backup
material is not long enough to reach
the column. Failure to do this could
result in personal injury.

3. For a small piece that cannot be clamped
to the table, use a drill press vise (optional
accessory).
