GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your drill press works.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug in the drill press

until the following steps have been read and understood.

1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s

applications, limitations, and possible hazards.

2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose them

to rain. Keep work areas well-lit.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

Grounding instructions

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least

resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric

cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into

a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and

ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed

by a licensed electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The

conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding

conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the

equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the

grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.

USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the

tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure if it

is, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

WARNING: Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

Guidelines for using extension cords

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one

heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used

according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG)

(When using 120 V only)

Ampere Rating

Total Length of Cord in feet

More Than

Not More Than

100

150

Not Recommended

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be

protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the

switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor

nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric

shock.

MAINTENANCE

Warning: Turn the power switch “OFF” and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior to adjusting or

maintaining the machine. DO NOT attempt to repair or maintain the electrical components of the motor.

Contact a qualified service technician for this type of maintenance.

Before each use:

- Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.

- Check for any loose screws or hardware.

- Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc. that could

hamper the safe operation of the drill press.

To avoid a build-up of wood dust, regularly clean all parts of the machine using a soft cloth, brush or

compressed air. A general cleaning should be done after every use to avoid future problems and ensure

the machine is in ready condition for the next time it is used.

WARNING: If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to prevent debris from blowing into eyes.

The use of dust collection is also advised.

Keep the table, column and base free of resin and rust. Clean them regularly with a non-flammable

solvent, then coat with a light film of dry lubricant spray, or wax, to keep their surfaces clean. Do not use

ordinary oil which will collect dust and hamper the operation of the machine.

All of the ball bearings are lifetime lubricated, sealed, and do not need any further care. Keep the drive

belts free of oil and grease.

Check the belt tension after the first 3-5 hrs. of operation to ensure that the belts have not become

stretched and loose from their 'breaking in' use. See page 12 for instructions.
