UNPACKING
Refer to Figures 5 and 6.
Crates should be handled with care to avoid damage from drop-
ping, bumping, etc. Store and unpack crates with correct side up.
After uncrating drill press, inspect carefully for any damage that
may have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing or dam-
aged parts. If any damage or loss has occurred, claim must be filed
with carrier immediately. Check for completeness. Immediately
report missing parts to dealer.

ing assemblies and loose parts: head assembly, base, column
assembly, table assembly, table crank handle, handle bars with grip
and batteries.

flat washers and lock washers, 3mm and 4mm hex wrenches.
IMPORTANT:
The tool has been coated with a protective coating.
In order to ensure proper fit and operation the coating must be
removed. Remove coating with mild solvents such as mineral spir-
its and a soft cloth. Nonflam mable solvents are recommended.
After cleaning, cover all exposed surfaces with a light coating of oil.
Paste wax is recommended for table top.
CAUTION:
Never use highly volatile solvents. Avoid getting clean-
ing solution on paint as it may tend to deteriorate these finishes.
Use soap and water on painted components.

SAFETY RULES
Before any work is done, carefully read the cautions listed. Working
safely prevents accidents.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting
fase mask or respirator when using such tools.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
•
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts of machine.
•
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
•
Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
•
Wear safety glasses which comply with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are NOT safety glasses.
•
Wear face mask or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
•
Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
WORK AREA SHOULD BE READY FOR JOB
•
Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches
invite accidents.
•
Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power
tools to rain.
•
Work area should be properly lighted.
•
Proper electrical outlet should be available for tool.
Three-prong plug should be plugged directly into properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle.
•
Extension cords should have a grounding prong, and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
•
Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
•
Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof. Use
padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent
any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
•
Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
•
Read operating instructions manual for specific maintaining
and adjusting procedures.
•
Keep tool lubricated.
•
Use sharp cutters and keep the tool clean for safest operation.
•
Remove adjusting tools. Form the habit of checking that adjust-
ing tools are removed before turning on the machine.
•
Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
