General Safety Rules
WARNING!
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT:
Before switching the drill press on, ALWAYS check the machine for the correct setting and
speed, as well as ensuring the Chuck Key is removed.
1.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL.
Learn the machine’s
application and limitations, plus the specific hazards
particular to it.
2.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES
(must be ANSI
approved) Everyday eyeglasses usually are only impact
resistant and safety glasses only protect eyes. A full-face
shield will protect the eyes and face. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty.
3.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL
.
Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
4.
USE EAR PROTECTORS.
Use ear muffs for extended
period of operation. Use muffs rated to 103 DBA LEQ (8
hour).
5.
DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well lighted. The NOVA Viking
DVR Drill press is intended for indoor use only. Failure to
do so may void the warranty.

and in working order.

free as it can become a dangerous projectile.
25.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS

Before further use of the tool,
any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
