standards or, when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in dusty
work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, gloves, dust collection systems, and
hearing protection when appropriate.
16. Avoid accidental starting. DO NOT carry the power tool with your
finger on the switch. Ensure the switch is in the Off position before
plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power failure, while
a tool is being used, turn the switch Off to prevent surprise starting
when power is restored.
17. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
18. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power
supply or turning on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
19. Never place your fingers in a position where they could contact the
drill or other cutting tool if the workpiece should unexpectedly shift or
if your hand should slip.
20. Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact the left side of
the column if it is too short or the table is tilted; clamp solidly to the
table. Use table slots or clamping ledge around the outside edge of
the table.
21. When using a drill press vise, always fasten it to a table.
22. Never climb on or allow others to climb on the drill press table; it
could break or pull the entire drill press down.
23. Turn the motor switch Off and put away the Switch Key when leaving
the drill press.
24. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, DO NOT perform
layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the cutting tool is
rotating.
25. DO NOT force the tool. Tools do a better and safer job when used in
the manner for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the
correct tool for the job.
26. Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
27. Disconnect power from tool and place the switch in the locked or
Off position before servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or
attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
28. Secure work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work
when practical. This safety precaution allows for proper tool operation
using both hands.
29. Store idle tools. When tools are not is use, store them in a dry, secure
place out of the reach of children. Inspect tools for good working
condition prior to storage and before re-use.
30. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create
a risk of injury when used on another tool.
31. Keep guards in place and in working order.
32. Your mini drill press must be bolted securely to a workbench. If
there is any tendency for your mini drill press to move during certain
operations, bolt the workbench to the floor.
33. This mini drill press is intended for use in dry conditions, indoor use
only.
34. Always keep hands out of the path of a drill bit. Avoid awkward hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
drill bit.
35. DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175 mm (7”) in length
or extends 150 mm (6”) below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly
bend outward or break.
36. DO NOT use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle (fly)
cutters, or rotary planers on this mini drill press.
37. When cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is fully supported
at the table height.
38. DO NOT perform any operation freehand. Always hold the workpiece
firmly against the table so it will not rock or twist. Use clamps or a
vise for unstable workpieces.
39. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the
workpiece to be drilled.
40. DO NOT touch the bit or chips. Drill bits and cuttings are hot
immediately after drilling.
41. Never reach around or under the working head, or grab the chuck key
to stop the drill press.
42. Make sure the drill press speed is appropriate for both the type of
material and bit size you are using.
43. Clamp workpiece or brace against the left side of the column to
prevent rotation. If it is too short or the table is tilted, clamp solidly to
the table and use the fence provided.
44. If the workpiece overhangs the table such that it will fall or tip if not
held, clamp it to the table. Provide auxiliary support.
45. Make sure all clamps and locks are firmly tightened before drilling.
46. Securely lock the head and table support to the column, and the table
to the table support before operating the mini drill press.
47. Never turn your mini drill press on before clearing the table of all
objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
48. Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to make sure the
drill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
49. Let the spindle reach full speed before starting to drill. If your mini
drill press makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates excessively, stop
immediately, turn the mini drill press off and unplug. DO NOT restart
until the problem is corrected.
50. DO NOT perform layout assembly or set up work on the table while
the mini drill press is in operation.
51. Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching
the workpiece.
52. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn the switch Off
and unplug the mini drill press before installing or removing any
accessory or attachment or making any adjustment.
53. Keep guards in place and in working order.
54. Only use the self-ejecting type chuck key as provided with the mini
drill press.
55. DO NOT try to drill material that is too small to be securely held.
56. Use the mini drill press in a well-lit area and on a level surface clean
and smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips, slips, or falls. Use it
where neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in
line with a potential kickback.
57. Never leave tool running unattended.
