Safety Rules

Drill Press

Basic Operation

Always use a back-up piece of scrap wood to cover the table. This protects both the table and the drill

bit.

Place material to be drilled in such a way as to come into contact with the left side of the column. This

prevents the material from spinning.

WARNING!

If the work piece is not large enough to come into contact with the column, use a clamp or drill press

vise that is securely fastened to the table! Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Feed the bit into the material with only enough force to allow the drill bit to work. Feeding too slowly

may cause burning of the work piece. Feeding too quickly may cause the motor to stop and/or the drill

bit to break.

Generally speaking, the smaller the drill bit, the greater the RPM required. Wood requires higher speeds

than metal. Metal is usually drilled at slower speeds.

In dusty environments frequently blow out any dust that accumulates inside the motor.

Lubrication

Periodically lubricate the gear and the rack, the table elevation mechanism, the splines (grooves) in the

spindle, and the teeth of the quill with#2 tube grease.

WARNING

• Wear eye protection.

• Always keep guards in place and in proper operating condition. Do not operate the machine

without the guards for any reason.

• Support work piece adequately at all times during operation; maintain control of work at all

times.

• This drill press is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel

only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a drill press, do not use until

proper training and knowledge has been obtained.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or

expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
