WARNING
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

STABILITY OF THE DRILL PRESS
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or move during any use, bolt it to the bench top
or to a piece of 3/4” (19 mm) 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.
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.

shown in “SPINDLE RETURN SPRING” section.
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 work piece) 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 it to the table.
• Never do any work “free hand” (hand-holding a workpiece 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 xtures for unusual operations to adequately hold, guide and position the workpiece.
• Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the specic operation and workpiece material—
check the panel inside the pulley housing 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.

are locked.
j. Keep pulley housing cover closed when not making belt adjustments.
k. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS DRILL PRESS TO AVOID SERIOUS
INJURY FROM THROWN, BROKEN PARTS OR WORKPIECES.
a. WHEN CUTTING LARGE DIAMETER HOLES: Clamp the workpiece rmly to the table.
Otherwise the cutter may grab and spin at high speed. Use only one-piece, cup-type, hole
cutters. DO NOT use y 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” (17.8 cm) in length or extends 6”
(15.2 cm) below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
d. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle (y) 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 cover. Ensure accessories used has
a higher speed rating than the current spindle speed setting of the drill press. Accessories
running over their rated speed can y apart and cause injury.
DIRECTION OF FEED FOR DRUM SANDING
WARNING Feed workpiece into a sanding drum (or other approved accessory)
against the direction of rotation.
WARNING A kickback occurs when workpiece suddenly binds on the cutting edge of
the cutter and the workpiece is thrown by the cutter in the direction of the
cutter’s rotation. This can cause serious injury.
THIS DRILL PRESS HAS 5 SPEEDS: 610 RPM, 950 RPM, 1500 RPM, 2050 RPM AND
2800 RPM.
