c. To avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring, follow
the instructions exactly as given and shown in “SPINDLE
RETURN SPRING” section on Page 15.
d. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your
hands, spinning on the table, shattering the tool, or being
thrown, always support your work so it won’t shift or bind
on the tool.
• Always position “backup material” (used beneath the
workpiece) to contact the left side of the column.
• Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact
the left side of the column — if it is short or the table is
tilted, clamp solidly to the table. Use table slots or
clamping ledge around the outside edge of the table.
• When using a drill press vise, always fasten to the
table.
• Never do any work “free hand” (hand holding a work-
piece rather than supporting it on the table), except when
polishing.
• Securely lock head and table support to column, and
table to table support before operating drill press.
• Never move the head or table support while the tool is
running.
• Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to
make sure the drill bit or other cutting tool does not
wobble or cause vibration.
• If a workpiece overhangs the table such that it will fall
or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary
support.
• Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately hold,
guide and position the workpiece.
• Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the spe-
cific operation and workpiece material — check the
panel inside the pulley cover for drilling information; for
accessories, refer to the instructions provided with the
accessories.
e. Never climb on the drill press table; it could break or
pull the entire drill press down on you.
f. Turn the motor switch “OFF” and unplug from power
source when not in operation.
g. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, DO
NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the
table while the cutting tool is rotating.
h. Clamp workpiece or brace against column to prevent
rotation.
i. Before starting, be certain chuck key is removed from
chuck and that motor head and table are locked.
j. Keep pulley cover closed when not making belt
adjustments.
k. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
12. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR
THIS DRILL PRESS TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY
FROM THROWN, BROKEN PARTS OR WORK
PIECES.
a. WHEN CUTTING LARGE DIAMETER HOLES:
Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise the
cutter may grab and spin at high speed. Use only one-
piece, cup-type, hole cutters. DO NOT use fly cutters or
multi-part hole cutters as they come apart or become
unbalanced in use.
b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on this
drill press at a speed greater than the speed rating
of the drum sander.
c. Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 7"
in length or extends 6" below the chuck jaws. They
can suddenly bend outward or break.
d. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper
cutters, circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this
drill press.
e. Use recommended speed for drill accessory and
workpiece material.
f. Accessories must be rated for at least the spindle
speed setting of the drill press. This drill press has 5
spindle speeds. Check spindle speed setting of the drill
press based on pulley speed chart located inside the
pulley housing. Ensure accessories used has a higher
speed rating than the current spindle speed setting of
the drill press. Accessories running over its rated speed
can fly apart and cause injury.
13. DIRECTION OF FEED FOR DRUM SANDING
Feed workpiece into a sanding drum or
other approved accessory, against the
direction of rotation.
A kickback occurs when workpiece
suddenly binds on the cutting edge of the
tool and the workpiece is thrown by the cutter in the
direction of the cutter’s rotation. This can cause serious
injury.
