Read and understand the warnings and instructions on the drill
press and in the owner/operators manual.

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
complying with current national standard, and a full face shield
when needed. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions. Wear
hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

Do not wear gloves, loose clothing, jewelry or any dangling
objects that may catch in rotating parts or accessories. Tie back
long hair.

Remove material or debris from the area that might be ignited by
hot chips.

Make certain the chuck key is removed before starting the tool.
The key can be thrown at high velocity if not removed.

Be sure belt guards are installed and functioning properly.

Never hold the workpiece by hand. To prevent the workpiece and
backup material from spinning, set them against the left side of
the drill support column. Secure the workpiece with a clamp or the
appropriate fixture if it is too short to reach the column.

Carefully set the drill press speed appropriate for both the type of
material and bit size you are using.

DonÕt touch the bit or chips. Drill bits and cuttings are hot
immediately after drilling.

If something goes wrong, never attempt to correct a problem with
the drill operating. Shut if off and unplug it if possible.

Never reach around or under the working head, or grab the chuck
to stop a drill press. This can result in hand puncture or other
serious injury.

Always shut off, unplug if possible, and lock the press if a lock
is available, and store the key.
