Installing or Removing Bits (FIG 13)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, only use the chuck key provided
with this drill press or a duplicate of it. This chuck key is self-ejecting and will
“pop” out of the chuck when you let go. This action is designed to help prevent
throwing of the chuck key from the chuck when power is turned “ON”. Do not
use any other key as a substitute; order a new one if damaged or lost.

WARNING: Always make sure the work piece is not in contact with the
bit before operating the switch to start the tool. Failure to heed this warning
may cause the work piece to be kicked back toward the operator and result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Make sure the chuck key is removed from the chuck before
starting any drilling operation.
WARNING: Always make sure the work piece is secured to the table by
clamps or other clamping devices.
