GENERAL SAFETY RULES Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool 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/damp areas or expose them to rain.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES 14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool. 15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE DRILL PRESS 10. Always stop the drill before removing scrap pieces from the table. 11. Use clamps or a vise to secure a workpiece to the table. This will prevent the workpiece from rotating with the drill bit. 12. Do not wear gloves when operating a drill press. 13. Set the drill press to the speed that is appropriate for the material being drilled. 14.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION 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. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

OPERATION DRILLING SPEEDS There are a few important factors to keep in mind when determining the best drilling speed: • Material type • Hole size • Drill bit or cutter type • Quality desired Smaller drill bits require greater speed than larger drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed than harder materials. DRILLING WOOD • Brad point bits are preferred. Metal-piercing twist bits may be used on wood. • Do not use auger bits.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Noisy operation CAUSES 1) Incorrect belt tension 2) Dry spindle 3) Loose spindle pulley 4) Loose motor pulley SOLUTIONS 1) Adjust the belt tension (See REPLACE THE BELT section) 2) Lubricate the spindle 3) Tighten the set screws on the side of the spindle pulley 4) Tighten the set screws on the side of the motor pulley The drill bit burns or 1) Drilling at the incorrect speed 1) Change the speed smokes 2) The wood chips are not coming out 2) Retract the drill bit frequently to clea
