• Select the bit that is adequate for the material to drill. It will
reduce the risk of severe injuries and make the job faster.
• Do not try to use bits that exceed the chuck speed.
• Do not use bit exceeding 7” or extending 6” below the
chuck.
• Never use sandpaper drums over 1 800 RPM.
• When drilling large diameters never use more than
one-piece cutter.
• Never use wire brushes, circular blades, router blades or
rotatory blades for brushes.
• Do not use bits with screw type tip.
These bits will lift the work piece and it will start rotating.
This can cause severe injuries to the operator.
Keep the drill
fixed in a perfectly
leveled surface
When drilling deep holes
remove the bit constantly to remove
residues and prevent jamming
Use vices
to keep the
work piece
fixed
Put your hands away from
the drill when the machine is ON.
Do not hold the work piece with
your hands.
Use vices for that purpose.
Do not wear gloves. The bit
could trap the gloves.
Keep the
work field free
Set a wood or plastic board
under the work piece to prevent
piercing the work bench.
Do not turn ON the drill
if the bands guard is open.
Double check the
chuck if correctly
adjusted before
connecting the drill.
Never let go the feeding handles until sitting in the original position.
The handles might be driven back with force and hit you.

Select the adequate bit
• Never lean underneath or on the sides
of the drill head when running. The moving bit may cause
severe injuries.
• Remove the material or residues from
the area where hot wood shavings may ignite and start a
fire.
• Wood shavings or even the work piece
may shoot out into the drill rotation direction causing
kickback. To reduce this possibility support firmly the work
piece to the table. Also, when polishing or sanding, try
movements against you and not towards you.
• Do not touch the bit or the perforations
immediately after drilling. Wait until it cools down to
manipulate.
Stay Alert
• Take your time to assess the job and double check you
have complied with all the necessary caution warnings
before starting to drill.
• Fit the bit correctly into the chuck.
Remove all the keys from the chuck before stating to drill.
If the key is not removed it will shoot out with great speed
and cause severe injuries.
• Never put in place and / or secure the
work piece when the drill is ON. Turn it OFF before making
adjustments to prevent severe injuries.
• For pieces that overhang from the work table, support the
piece when possible in the left-hand side of the column.
Use auxiliary support if needed.
• Before you start drilling turn the drill ON one second to
double check none of the mobile parts are vibrating.
Before Operating the Drill
• Work with a regular rhythm. Make the
perforations in a firm and unhurried way and
do not force the drill.
• As the bit is finished drilling the work piece,
exercise less pressure and allow it to finish the
hole without forcing it too much.
• If the bit gets stuck into the work
piece, turn OFF the drill immediately. Disconnect and
then, remove the bit from the work piece. Do not try to
remove stuck bits by turning ON and OFF the tool.
• Use a lubricant if necessary to reduce friction in the bit.
• Use a dust remover when working with wood.
