DRILL PRESS SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock,
personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
Before you connect the appliance to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualied electrician or a power tool repairer
in order to avoid a hazard.
The power supply for this products charger should be protected by a residual current device (rated
at 30mA or less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect
the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged
or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension
lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk
of re and electric shock.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! For your own safety, do not try to use your drill press or plug it in until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the instructions and until you have read
and understood the following:
1. Your drill press must be bolted securely to a workbench. In addition, if there is any tendency for
your drill press to move during certain operations, bolt the workbench to the oor.
2. This drill press is intended for use in dry conditions and indoor use only.
3. Always wear safety goggles which comply to a recognised standard. Use a face or dust mask
along with safety goggles if the drilling operation is dusty. Use ear protectors, especially during
extended periods of operation.
4. Do not try to drill material too small to be securely held. Do not drill material that does not have
a at surface unless it is clamped securely.
5. Always keep hands out of the path of the drill bit. Avoid awkward hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the drill bit.
6. Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175mm (7 inches) in length or extends more than
150mm (6 inches) below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend outwards or break.
7. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle (y) cutters or rotary planers on this
drill press.
8. When drilling a large piece of material make sure it is fully supported at the table height.
9. Do not perform any operation freehand. Always hold the workpiece rmly against the table so it
will not rock or twist. Use clamps or a vice for unstable workpieces.
10. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be drilled.
11. Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact the left side of the column; if it is too short
or the table is tilted, clamp solidly to the table.
12. If the workpiece overhangs the table such that it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or
provide auxiliary support.
13. Set the drill press to a speed appropriate to the job.
14. Do not start the drill press while the drill bit is touching the workpiece.
15. When using a drill press vice, always fasten it to the table.
16. Make sure all clamps and locks are rmly tightened before drilling.
17. Securely lock the head and table support to the column, and the table to the table support
before operating your drill press.
18. Never turn your drill press on before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood etc.)
19. Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to make sure the drill bit does not wobble or
vibrate.
20. Let the spindle reach full speed before starting to drill. If your drill press makes an unfamiliar
noise or if it vibrated excessively, stop immediately, turn the drill press off and unplug it. Do not
restart until the problem is corrected.
21. Do not perform layout assembly or setup work on the table while the drill press is in operation.
22. Do not exceed the rpm stated on the bit or accessory. See the instructions that come with the
accessory.
23. When drilling large diameter holes, clamp the workpiece rmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit
may grab and spin the workpiece at high speed. Do not use y cutters or multiple-part cutters,
as they can come apart or become unbalanced in use.
24. Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching the workpiece.
25. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn the switch off and unplug the drill press
before installing or removing any accessory attachment or making any adjustment.
26. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
27. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
28. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
