to rain. Do not operate them in an area with flammable
liquids or gases. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at
a safe distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Lock access of your
workshop. When not in use, tools should be stored in a
dry locked up place, out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do
a job for which it was not designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your ex-
tension cord is in good condition. When using an ex-
tension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersize cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overtleating. When tool is used outdoors,
use on I y extension cords intended for outdoor use
and so marked.
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelet, or others jewellery
which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to con-
tain long hair. Roll long sleeves above elbows.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GOGGLES. Everyday glasses on
I y have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting opera-
tion is dusty.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vice to hold work
when practical. It is safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOL WITH CARE. Keep tool sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instruc-
tiorls for lubrication and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when chang-
ing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters and the
like.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the own-
er's manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to per-
sons.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Should any part of the tool
be missing, damaged or any electrical component fails
to perform proper1y, tum off the power and remove plug
from power supply. Proper1y repair or replace dam-
aged, missing and/or failed parts before resuming op-
eration.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cut-
ter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENTED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a com-
plete stop.
• DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Do not use cord to discon-
nect during operation. Never yank the cord to discon-
nect it from the socket.
• ALWAYS KEEP ALERT. Do not let familiarity gained
from frequent use of your tool cause a careless mistake.
Always remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
• THINK SAFETY. Safety is a combination of common
sense and alertness whenever the tool is in operation.

m general Hints
eXtension cords
When using a powertool at a considerable distance from
a power source, use an e,xtension cord heavy enough to
carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized ex-
tension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
a loss of power and overheating. Use the chart provided to
determine the minimum wire size required in an extension
cord. On I y round jacketed cords liste.d by Underwriter's
Laboratories (UL) should be used.
Use on I y round jacketed extension cords designated for
outside use. This is indicated by the letters „WA" on the
cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
AdditionAl sAFetY rules For drill presses
wArning: For your own safety do not try to use your drill
press until it is completely assembled and installed accord-
ing to the instructions and until you have read and understand
the following.
• Your drill press must be bolted securely to a workbench.
In addition, it there is any tendency tor your drill press
to move during certain operations, bolt the workbench
to the floor.
• This drill press is intended for use in dry conditions,
and for indoor use only.
• Protect eyes (always wear safety goggles which comply
to a recognized standard), hands, face (use face or dust
mask along with safety goggles if drilling operation is
dusty), ears (use ear protectors, especially during ex-
tended periods of operation), and body.
• Do not try to drill pieces of material too small to be
securely hold.
• Always keep hands out of path of drill bit. Avoid awk-
ward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the drill bit.
• Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175 mm
(7") in length or extends 150 mm (6") below the chuck
jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
• Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, cir-
cle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
• When cutting a large piece of material make sure it is
fully supported at the table height.
• Do not perform any operation freehand. Always hold the
workpiece firmIy against the fence and the table so it
will not rock or twist during the cut. Use jigs, fixtures
or different tool for unstable workpieces.
• Do not feed the material too fast while drilling. OnIy
feed the material fast enough so that the drill bit will
drill without overloading.
• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
• Always position „backup material" to contact the left
side of the column.
• Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact
the left side of the column; if it is too short or the table
is tilted, clamp solidly to the table. Use table slots or
clamping ledge around the outside edge of the table.
• If the workpiece overhangs the table such that it will
fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide
auxiliary support.
• When using a drill press vice. always fasten to the ta-
ble.
• Use special fixtures for unusual operations to adequate-
ly hold, guide and position the workpiece.
