ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause
serious injury.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is
safety.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical
connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
4. SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SUR-FACE.
Vibration can cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over.
5. NEVER START THE MACHINE BEFORE CLEARING
THE TABLE OF ALL OBJECTS (tools, scrap pieces,
etc.). Debris can be thrown at high speed.
6. NEVER START THE MACHINE with the drill bit, cutting
tool, or sanding drum against the workpiece. Loss of
control of the workpiece can cause serious injury.
7. PROPERLY LOCK THE DRILL BIT, CUTTING TOOL, OR
SANDING DRUM IN THE CHUCK before operating this
machine.
8. REMOVE THE CHUCK KEY BEFORE STARTING THE
MACHINE. The chuck key can be thrown out at a high
speed.
9. TIGHTEN ALL LOCK HANDLES before starting the
machine. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause
serious injury.
10. USE ONLY DRILL BITS, CUTTING TOOLS, SANDING
DRUMS, OR OTHER ACCESSORIES with shank size
recommended in your instruction manual. The wrong
size accessory can cause damage to the machine
and/or serious injury.
11. USE ONLY DRILL BITS, CUTTING TOOLS, OR
SANDING DRUMS that are not damaged. Damaged
items can cause malfunctions that lead to injuries.
12. USE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS for all operations. Other
speeds may cause the machine to malfunction causing
damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the bit.
14. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the
bit. Serious injury to the hand can occur.
15. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY AGAINST THE
TABLE. Do not attempt to drill a workpiece that does
not have a flat surface against the table, or that is not
secured by a vise. Prevent the workpiece from rotating
by clamping it to the table or by securing it against the
drill press column. Loss of control of the workpiece can
cause serious injury.
16. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF” AND WAIT FOR THE DRILL
BIT, CUTTING TOOL, OR SANDING DRUM TO STOP
TURNING prior to cleaning the work area, removing
debris, removing or securing work-piece, or changing
the angle of the table. A moving drill bit, cutting tool, or
sanding drum can cause serious injury.
17. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE work-pieces.
Loss of control of the workpiece can cause severe injury.
18. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY OR SET-UP
WORK on the table/work area when the machine is
running. Serious injury can result.
19. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the machine
from the power source, and clean the table/work area
before leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN
THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use.
Someone else might accidentally start the machine and
cause serious injury to themselves.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be
protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the
power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics
as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
machine.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
POWER CONNECTIONS
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 115 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
