Operating Instructions
Clamping workpieces to the machine
Both the box table and the base surface are
slotted to accept a suitably sized T-slot clamp.
Before begining any work on the drill press, anchor
the work piece, and the box table, too, if used, to be
certain the workpiece and/or box table will not move
when the drill, tap or boring tool enters the
workpiece.
Caution
Failure to properly anchor the workpiece
and box table could result in damage to the
machine, damage to the workpiece, and worse --
severe injury and possibly
death to the machine
operator. Never work on the drill press without
clamping the materials using a T-slot system set-
up.
