Safety
Oliver Machinery has made every attempt to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use piece of machinery.
Safety, however, is ultimately depending on the individual machine operator. Before operating this
machine, please become familiar with the following safety labels and guidelines.
DANGER
This indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL cause
death or serious injury.
WARNING
This means if the warning is not taken seriously, it CAN cause death or serious injury.
CAUTION
This means if precaution is not taken, it MAY cause injury.
IMPORTANT
This is a tip for properly operating the machine to avoid machine damage.
General Safety Guidelines
1. FAMILIARIZE yourself with all safety instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and
hazards associated with this machine. Do not operate/service this machine until you are properly
trained.
2. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING, when done properly, reduce the risk of electrocution, shocks, and fire.
Make certain that the machine frame is electrically grounded and that a ground lead is included in the
incoming electrical service. In cases where a cord and a plug are used, make certain that the grounding
plug connects to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure indicated in the electrical code
of your area.
3. DISCONNECT the machine from power before performing any service, maintenance, or adjustments.
A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used until the repair is
complete.
4. EAR PROTECTION: Use hearing protective devices where the noise exceeds the level of exposure
allowed in Section 1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations. When in doubt, use it.
5. GUARDS: Keep machine guards in place for all applicable operations. If any guards are removed for
maintenance, DO NOT OPERATE the machine until all guards are reinstalled. Check clearance between
the guards and the cutter before starting the machine.
6. WORKPLACE SAFETY: Keep the floor around the machine clean. Scrap material, sawdust, oil, and
other liquids increase the risk of tripping or slipping. Be sure to clean up the table before starting the
machine. Make certain the work area is well-lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to
minimize dust. Use anti-skid floor strips on the floor area where the operator normally stands and
mark off the machine work area. Wear protective footwear. Provide adequate workspace around the
machine.
7. ACCESS CONTROL should be enforced so only trained personnel can access the work area and operate
the machine. Use a childproof power switch when applicable.
8. STAY ALERT at all times. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs/alcohol or
when not feeling well.

12 | Page Oliver Machinery 10062 Drill Press
9. NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. This prevents injuries from tipping-related accidents and accidental
contact with cutters.
10. REPLACEMENT PARTS: Use only genuine Oliver Machinery replacement parts and accessories
recommended for this machine. Generic parts made by other manufacturers may create a safety
hazard and WILL void the factory warranty and other guarantees.
11. PROPER USE: Do not use this machine for anything other than its intended use. If used for other
purposes, Oliver Machinery disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any
injury or damage which may result from that use.
Safety Guidelines Specific to Drill Press
Before Work Begins:
1. INSPECT WORKPIECE: This drill press is primarily designed for woodworking operations, and it is also
suitable for drilling some other materials, such as soft steel. Avoid drilling materials that may
disintegrate or catch fire. Avoid drilling materials that contain harmful chemicals, as this can produce
harmful chemical dust.
2. CHECK DRILL BIT AND CHUCK: Make sure the drill bit is sharp, clean, balanced, and free from damage.
Replace dull or damaged drill bit. Never use a drill bit to drill material types that it is not compatible
with. Make sure the drill bit is securely fastened and the chuck key is not attached to the chuck before
starting the drill press.
3. USE CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED: Some drill bits have a maximum operating speed recommended by
the manufacturer. Never set the drill press to go beyond this speed, or the drill bit can overheat or
even disintegrate, which can cause serious injuries or even death.
4. SECURE WORKPIECE, TABLE, AND HEADSTOCK: Mount the workpiece on the table with clamps or
drill vise. Never hold the workpiece by hand during operation. Lock the table assembly to maintain
the alignment between the drill bit and the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause the drill bit to bind
into the workpiece. This can damage the drill bit and the workpiece, and cause serious injuries.
5. EYE PROTECTION: Always wear an approved safety face shield/goggles/glasses that complies with
ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards. Common eyeglasses are not safety glasses and may not provide
adequate protection.
6. LASER WARNING: This drill press is equipped with a class II laser center finder. DO NOT stare into the
laser beam or view it directly with an optical instrument.
7. AVOID ENTANGLEMENT: Roll up sleeves above elbows. Remove all loose outer clothing and confine
long hair. Remove tie, rings, watch, and other jewelry. Do not wear gloves unless it is instructed to
perform certain steps in the manual.
8. CHECK CHUCK GUARD: Make sure the guard is installed and there are no signs of damage. Before
starting the drill press, shield the chuck with the guard and lock it in place.

10062 Drill Press OLIVERMACHINERY.NET 13 |Page
9. PROTECT TABLE: The drill bit should align with the center hole on the table. For drill bits like Forstner
bits, the center hole may not be big enough for the drill bit to pass through. Support the workpiece
with a backer board to protect the tool and avoid tearing out the back of a workpiece.
10. SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECE to prevent the workpiece and the drill press from tipping.
11. DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM reduces harmful dust from drilling. Please set up the drill press with dust
extraction accessories when available.
12. NOT A MILLING MACHINE: A drill press is only designed for downward cutting. Never use the drill
press for sideway cutting with milling bits. Doing so can damage the drill press and cause the chuck to
dislodge from the drill press.
When Drilling:
1. THE 3-INCH RULE. Keep your hands at least three inches away from the drill bit when the machine is
running. Do not clear debris with your hands while the drill press is running.
2. PROPER FEEDING keeps the workpiece under control. NEVER start the drill press with the drill bit
engaging the workpiece. NEVER start drilling into the workpiece until the motor has reached its full
speed. Maintain proper feed rate and downward pressure.
3. DRILLING ANGLED HOLES: Be extra careful when drilling angled holes. The lateral force may cause the
drill bit to twist and break. Reduce feed rate and use sharp bits.
4. PREVENT OVERHEATING by using lubricant when drilling metal, plastic, and some other non-wood
materials. Overheating damages the workpiece and the drill bit, and creates a fire hazard.
After Operation
1. STOP THE MACHINE if the operator leaves the machine for any reason.
2. WAIT until the machine comes to a complete stop.
3. CLEAN UP and CLOSE POWER SWITCH COVER before departure.

Cleaning
To prevent rusting during transportation and storage, the
unpainted cast iron surfaces of the drill press table and
base are protected by heavy-duty rust preventive grease
and plastic film. The machine should be cleaned before
assembly. Remove the packaging and wipe off the grease
with paper towels or rags. WD-40 can thin the grease and
make cleaning easier. Do not use harsh solvents such as
acetone which can damage the paint, and NEVER use
gasoline or any highly flammable solvent as degreaser.
After the initial cleaning, routinely coat the unpainted cast iron surface with rust preventive such as
Boeshield® T-9 or paste wax. Do not use rust preventives that contain silicone, which is known to interfere
with certain finishes and glues.
WARNING
Never use gasoline or any highly flammable chemical as degreaser. These chemicals
can cause fire and explosion.
Discard oily rags in a fireproof container and keep them away from combustible
materials. Oily rags can heat up and trigger spontaneous combustion under certain
conditions.
