ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig. 24)
1. To turn the drill press ON, insert the safety key (1)
into the switch housing (2). As a safety feature, the
switch cannot be turned ON without the key.
2. Flip the switch upward to the ON position.
3. To turn the drill press OFF, move the switch to the
down position.
4. To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the
safety key from the switch. Store the key in a safe
place.
POSITION THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
(Fig. 25)
Always place a piece of backup material (1) (wood,
plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the workpiece
(2). This will prevent splintering on the underside of the
workpiece as the drill bit breaks through. To keep the
material from spinning out of control, it must contact the
left side of the column as illustrated, or be clamped to
the table.
Note:
For small workpieces that cannot be clamped
to the table, use a drill press vise (optional accessory,
not included). The vise must be clamped or bolted to
the table to avoid injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury and the
workpiece and the backup material from being torn
from your hand while drilling, position them to the
left side of the column.
If the workpiece and the
backup material are not long enough to reach the
column, clamp them to the table. Failure to do this
could result in personal injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make
sure the chuck key is removed from the chuck
before starting any drilling operation.
