- Do not drill materials that do not have a flat surface—unless a suitable support is used(clamp or vise).
- Never start the drill press with the drill bit pressed against the work piece.
- Make sure the table lock is tightened before starting the bench drill press.
- Never layout, assemble, or set-up any work on the table while the drill is on.
- Make sure drill bit is securely locked in the chuck.
- Make sure chuck key is removed from the chuck before turning power on.
- Adjust the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into the table.
- Always stop the drill before removing scrap pieces from the table.
- Use clamps or a vise to secure a work piece to the table. This will prevent the work piece from rotating with the drill bit.
- Do not wear gloves when operating a drill press.
- Before leaving the machine, shut the power off, remove the drill bit and clean the table.
- Set the drill press to the speed that is appropriate for the material being drilled.
- Should any part of your bench drill press be missing, damaged, or any electrical component fail to perform properly,
shut the power off and unplug the drill press. Replace missing, damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.
- In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and
reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
- Do not modify the plug. If the plug will not fit the power supply outlet, have the proper power supply outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
- Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the green
insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
- Check with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
2.2 RESIDUAL RISKS
Despite observance of all the safety regulations, and use according to the rules described in this manual, residual risks
may still be present, among which the most recurring are:
- contact with tool
- contact with moving parts (belts, pulleys, etc..)
- recoil of the piece or part of it
- accidents due to wood splinters or fragments
- tool insert ejection
- electrocution from contact with live parts
- danger due to incorrect tool installation
- inverse tool rotation due to incorrect electrical connection
- danger due to dust inhalation in case of working without vacuum cleaner.
