No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
Additional Safety for Boring Machines
EYE/FACE/HAND PROTECTION. Debris from
the drilling operation can be thrown at the operator.
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield to pro-
tect your eyes and face during boring operations.
The spinning boring bits are sharp and can cause
serious injury. Always keep hands and fingers
away from the moving bits. To reduce the risk of
entanglement, DO NOT wear gloves when operat-
ing this machine.
GUARDS. The boring head guard reduces the risk
of debris being thrown at the operator. DO NOT
operate this machine with this guard removed.
BORING OPERATION. The boring bits rotate with
tremendous torque, especially at start up. To avoid
the bits grabbing the workpiece and unexpectedly
moving it, never start the machine with the boring
bits pressed against the workpiece.
DULL OR WORN BITS. Dull or damaged bits may
break apart during operation, be thrown at the
operator, or reduce the performance of the opera-
tion. Inspect bits before each use. DO NOT oper-
ate with dull or damaged bits.
SECURING WORKPIECE. The operator's hands
may be drawn into the spinning boring bits if the
workpiece moves unexpectedly during operation.
Make sure the workpiece is firmly against the
fence, and the workpiece is fully secured with the
hold-downs.
BORING BITS. A rapidly spinning boring bit can
be thrown at the operator if it comes loose from
the chuck. Only use boring bits with a 10mm shank
designed for this machine. Properly secure the bits
in the chucks before beginning operations.
SURFACE/WORKPIECE PREPARATION. Never
turn the machine
ON before clearing the table of
all tools, scrap wood, etc. Only drill wood products
that are free of imperfections or foreign objects.
Never use this machine to drill metal.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you
are experiencing difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
