WARNING! For your own safety, do not operate your drill press until it is completely assembled
and installed according to the instructions … and until you have read and understood the following:
1. General safety guidelines
2. Specifications
3. Know your drill press
4. Assembly and adjustments
5. Operation
7. Maintaining your drill press
8. Troubleshooting
9. STABILITY OF THE DRILL PRESS
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or move during use, bolt it to the bench top or to a
piece of 3/4" exterior plywood large enough to stabilize the drill press. Bolt the plywood to the
underside of the base so it extends beyond the sides of the base. DO NOT USE PRESSED WOOD
PANELS. They can break unexpectedly. If the workpiece is too large to easily support with one
hand, provide an auxiliary support.
10. LOCATION
Use the drill press in a well lit area and on a level surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the
risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual observer is forced to stand
in line with a potential kickback.
11. PROTECTION: Eyes, hands, ears and body.
TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO THE SPINNING TOOL—
DO NOT WEAR: Loose fitting gloves
Necktie
Loose clothing
Jewelry
DO: TIE BACK LONG HAIR
ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE ELBOWS
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and this may result in a dangerous condition.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.

KEEP THIS USER’S MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING! Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with
a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well
as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
