OPERATING SAFETY
1. Always wear safety glasses
2. Do not wear gloves, necktie, loose clothing, jewelry or other items that may get caught in moving parts. Long
hair should be tied up and under a cap.
3. Do not hold the part to be drilled by hand. Clamp the work or brace it against the drill press column to prevent
rotation or use the Safety Drill Press Vise; see the enclosed installation sheet about the Safety Drill Press
Vise. Two T-Slots are provided in the table and column base to aid clamping.
4. Use recommended speeds that are proper for the drill, the material being drilled and accessories used.
5. Make a habit of removing the chuck key, drift key and other wrenches after their use.
6. Keep hands and ngers clear of the drill bit or cutter.
7. Shut off the power before removing the drill bit or cutting tool.
8. Do not try cutting or similar operations by moving the table or the head stock with respect to each other. Be
sure that the head stock and table are securely clamped to the column.
9. Be sure the drill bit or cutting tool is securely clamped in the chuck.
10. Keep belt guard in place and closed.
11. Do not operate the machine beyond its capacity and possibly overload the power train.
12. Maintain the machine regularly, keep it clean and keep a maintenance and lubrication log.

speed control can vary the speed innitely
within each speed (Torque) range setting
which is explained in the next paragraph.
