SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
n
KEEP BITS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp bits minimize
stalling. Dirty and dull bits may cause misalignment of
the material and possible operator injury.
n
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM WORK AREA. Keep hands
away from the bit. Restrain any loose clothing, jewelry,
long hair, etc., that may become entangled in the bit.
n
ALWAYS CLAMP WORKPIECE OR BRACE AGAINST
COLUMN TO PREVENT ROTATION. Never use your
hand to hold the object while drilling.
n
USE RECOMMENDED SPEED FOR DRILL ACCES-
SORY AND WORKPIECE MATERIAL.
n
BE SURE DRILL BIT OR CUTTING TOOL IS SECURELY
LOCKED IN THE CHUCK.
n
BE SURE CHUCK KEY IS REMOVED from the chuck
before connecting to power source or turning power
ON.
n
ADJUST THE TABLE OR DEPTH STOP TO AVOID
DRILLING INTO THE TABLE. Shut off the power, remove
the drill bit, and clean the table before leaving machine.
n
AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE when using the laser
guide.
�n
ALWAYS ENSURE THE LASER BEAM IS AIMED AT
A SURFACE WITHOUT REFLECTIVE PROPERTIES.
Shiny reflective materials are not suitable for laser use.
n
NEVER PLACE YOUR FINGERS IN A POSITION
WHERE THEY COULD CONTACT THE DRILL or other
cutting tool if the workpiece should unexpectedly shift.
n
NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION by moving the
head or table with respect to one another. Do not turn the
motor switch ON or start any operation before checking
that the head and table support lock handle is clamped
tight to column and head and table support collars are
correctly positioned.
n
BEFORE ENGAGING THE POWER SWITCH, MAKE
SURE THE BELT GUARD IS DOWN AND THE CHUCK
IS INSTALLED PROPERLY.

LOCK THE MOTOR SWITCH OFF WHEN LEAVING
THE DRILL PRESS. Do not perform layout, assembly,
or set-up work on the table while the cutting tool is rotat-
ing, switched on, or connected to a power source.

and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
tool, loan them these instructions also.
