and the table to the table support before operating your
drill press.
18. Never turn your drill press on before clearing the table of
all objects (tools, scraps of wood etc.)
19. Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to
make sure the drill bit does not wobble or vibrate.

your drill press makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrated
excessively, stop immediately, turn the drill press off and
unplug it. Do not restart until the problem is corrected.

table while the drill press is in operation.

the workpiece at high speed. Do not use fly cutters or
multiple-part cutters, as they can come apart or become
unbalanced in use.

before touching the workpiece.

switch off and unplug the drill press before installing
or removing any accessory attachment or making any
adjustment.
