These safety rules cannot cover every situation in

ting up or operating your drill press.
1.
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL.
Read the
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as its
particular hazards.
2.
KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE
and in
working order.
3.
GROUND ALL TOOLS.
If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two-prong recepta-
cle, the adapter plug must be attached to a
known ground. Never remove the grounding
prong.
4.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES.
Make it a habit to check that
keys and wrenches are removed from the
machine before turning it on.
5.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
6.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet loca-
tions or expose them to rain. Keep your work
area well lighted.
7.
KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.
All children and visitors should be kept a safe
distance away from your work area.
8.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF
with
padlocks, master switches, or by removable
starter keys.
9.
DO NOT FORCE TOOL.
Tools work better
and safer when they are allowed to perform
at their own speed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.
Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry
that can get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear must be worn. Long hair should be
tied back or wear a hat.
11. NEVER STAND ON, OR LEAN ON THE
TOOL.
Doing so could cause injury.
