1.3 Safety instructions for drill presses
1. All work shall be secured using either clamps
or a vise to the drill press table. It is unsafe to
use your hands to hold any workpiece being
drilled.
2. Drill press head and table shall be securely
locked to the column before operating the drill
press. This must always be checked prior to
starting the machine.
3. Always use the correct tooling. Tooling shall
always be maintained and properly sharpened.
All tooling must be run at the proper speeds
and feeds as they apply to the job. Use only
recommended accessories and follow those
manufacturer’s instructions pertaining to them.
Tooling shall not be forced in to any work
piece but fed according to the proper
specifications. Failure to follow these
instructions will not only ruin the tooling as well
as the machine, but can cause serious injury.
4. Never brush away any chips while the
machine is in operation. All clean up should be
done when the machine is stopped.
5. Keep hands in sight. Do not put hands or
fingers around, on, or below any rotating
cutting tools. Leather safety gloves should be
used when handling any sharp objects or
cutting tools. See Figure A.
6. Always wear protective eye wear when
operating, servicing or adjusting machinery.
Eyewear shall be impact resistant, protective
safety glasses with side shields complying with
ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye wear
which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications could result in severe injury from
breakage of eye protection. Figure B.
7. When drilling in material which causes dust, a
dust mask shall be worn. See Figure C.
8. Avoid contact with coolant, especially guarding
the eyes.
9. Non-slip footwear and safety shoes are
recommended. See Figure D.
10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation. See Figure E.
