BASIC OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
To get the best results and minimize the likelihood of
personal injury, follow these instructions for operating
your drill press.
WARNING
!
For your own safety, always observe the SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS listed on pages 4, 5 and 6 of this
instruction manual when operating the drill press.
POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
(FIG. X, Y )
1. Lock the table (1) to the column (2) at a position so
the tip of the drill bit (3) is just above the top of the
workpiece (4).
2. ALWAYS place BACK-UP MATERIAL (scrap wood)
on the table beneath the workpiece. This will prevent
splintering or heavy burring on the underside of the
workpiece. To keep the back-up material from
spinning out of control, it MUST contact the LEFT
side of the column.
WARNING
!
To prevent the workpiece or backup material from
being torn from your hands while drilling, you MUST
position it against the LEFT side of the column. If the
workpiece or the backup material is not long enough
to reach the column. Failure to do this could result in
personal injury.
