Safety Instructions for Drill
Presses
1. All work shall be secured using either
clamps or a vise to the drill press table. It is
unsafe to use your hands to hold any
workpiece being drilled.
2. Drill press head and table shall be securely
locked to the column before operating the
drill press. This must always be checked
prior to starting the machine.
3. Always use the correct tooling. Tooling shall
always be maintained and properly
sharpened. All tooling must be run at the
proper speeds and feeds as they apply to
the job. Use only recommended accessories
and follow those manufacturer's
instructions pertaining to them. Tooling
shall not be forced in to any work piece but
fed according to the proper specifications.
Failure to follow these instructions will not
only ruin the tooling as well as the machine,
but can cause serious injury.

machine is in operation. All clean up should
be done when the machine is stopped.

cutting tools. See Figure A.
