1. This drill press is intended for use only
with drill bits. The use of any other
accessories may be hazardous.
2. CHECK to see that the drill bit is
securely locked in the chuck.
3. CORRECT DRILLING SPEEDS
Important factors which determine the
best speed to use in any drill press
operation are:
(a) The smaller the drill the greater the
required r.p.m. (revolutions per
minute)
(b) In soft materials the speed should be
higher than for hard materials.
4. MAKE sure that the chuck key is
removed before turning on power.
5. CHECK to see that the chuck is
securely fastened to the spindle.
6. CAUTION
When practical, use a vice or clamps to
secure workpiece to avoid workpiece
rotating with the drill bit.
7. SECURE the tool to a workbench or
floor. If during operation there is any
tendency for the drill press to tip over,
slide or walk on the supporting surface,
the drill base must be secured to the
supporting surface with fasteners
through the holes located in the drill
press base.
8. For your safety DO NOT wear gloves
when operating a drill press.
