1.
NEVER TURN THE BENCH DRILL PRESS ON until the table is clear of all foreign
objects (tools, scraps, etc.).
2.
ALWAYS KEEP hands and fingers away from the drill bit.
3.
DO NOT drill materials that do not have a flat surface—unless a suitable support is used
(clamp or vise).
4.
NEVER start the drill press with the drill bit pressed against the workpiece.
5.
MAKE SURE the table lock is tightened before starting the bench drill press.
6.
NEVER layout, assemble, or set-up any work on the table while the drill is ON.
7. MAKE SURE drill bit is securely locked in the chuck.
8.
MAKE SURE chuck key is removed from the chuck before turning power ON.
9. ADJUST the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into the table.
10. ALWAYS stop the drill before removing scrap pieces from the table.
11. USE CLAMPS or a vise to secure a workpiece to the table. This will prevent the
workpiece from rotating with the drill bit.
12. DO NOT wear gloves when operating a drill press.
13. BEFORE LEAVING THE MACHINE, SHUT THE POWER OFF, remove the drill bit and
clean the table.
14. SET THE DRILL PRESS to the speed that is appropriate for the material being drilled.
15. 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.
