PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid
personal injury or damage to tool.
1. Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with the
moving parts of a tool. Keep long hair covered or bound.
2. Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform. Holding the
workpiece by hand or against your body may lead to personal injury.
3. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medications.
4. Do not overreach when operating a tool. Proper footing and balance
enables better control in unexpected situations.
SPECIFIC SAFETY
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use
this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suer serious personal injury.
NOTICE! Immediately switch the power o if the drill bit becomes stuck
or jammed. The tool’s torque may damage the drill press mechanism
and/or workpiece.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specic
function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an unintended
purpose.
2. A loose or mismatched bit may be ejected by the tool, causing an injury to
the user or a bystander. It may also fail to penetrate the material as the
point may move around under pressure, damaging the workpiece.
a. Ensure the bit shank size matches the tool’s chuck or collet size.
b. Tighten the chuck so the shank is tightly held with no room to move.
3. Do not use the drill press as a router or try to elongate or enlarge holes by
twisting the drill press. The drill bit can break and can cause an injury.
4. Never attempt to change the rotation direction while the switch is ON. To
do so, may damage the interlock feature built into the switch. Be sure the
V1.0 MINI BENCH-TOP DRILL PRESS 9027814
Page 5 www.princessauto.com / 1-800-665-8685

switch is OFF and the motor has completely stopped before changing the
rotation direction.
5. Hardened gum and wood pitch on a drill bit slows the drill press down and
increases the potential for binding. Remove the drill bit from the drill
press, then clean it with hot water, kerosene or gum and pitch remover.
Never use gasoline. Allow to dry before using. Discard the drill bit if the
gum or pitch cannot be removed.
6. Clean the drill press's air vents often. The motor’s fan will draw dust and
other particulates into the tool. Excessive accumulation of wood, plastic or
metal particulates can create a re or electrical hazard.
7. Do not cool the drill bit with any liquid when hot. This can damage the the
drill bit by weakening the material, making the accessory unsafe for use.
8. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or
worn components.. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not use any power tool with a malfunctioning power switch or control.
A power tool that fails to respond to the controls is dangerous and can
cause an injury. A qualied technician must repair and verify the power
tool is operating correctly, before it can be used.
2. Shut the power o and disconnect the drill press from the power supply
(if possible) before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
cleaning, servicing or when storing. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
3. Never force the drill press. Excessive pressure could break the tool,
resulting in damage to your workpiece or serious personal injury.
Excessive pressure is the cause if your tool runs smoothly under no load,
but roughly under load.
4. Check if the drill press's moving parts are misaligned or binding before
each use. Correct the issue before using the drill press to avoid an injury
or damage to the tool.
5. Only use accessories that are specically designed for use with the drill
press. Ensure the drill bit is tightly installed.
6. The material and the motor housing can get very hot during operation.
Stop work until the drill press and the drill bit both cool down to a safe
temperature.
9027814 MINI BENCH-TOP DRILL PRESS V1.0
www.princessauto.com / 1-800-665-8685 Page 6

7. Do not cover the air vents. Proper cooling of the motor is necessary to
ensure normal life of the tool.
8. Avoid unintentional starts. Make sure the power switch is set to OFF
before connecting the drill press to a power supply.
9. Make sure any adjustment mechanisms are secure before using the tool
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or exible
material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the drill bit.
2. Only use the drill bit designed for the tool.
3. Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign
objects. Cutting into a nail can cause the drill bit and tool to jump and
damage the drill bit.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part of your body
that is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current,
increasing the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is
connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories
are designed with built-in safety features that may be compromised if
altered.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical
equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose the drill press to rain, snow, frost or any other damp or wet
conditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the power switch. This
will prevent an accidental start-up when the power cord is plugged into
the power supply.
5. In the event of a power failure, turn o or unplug the machine as soon as
the power is interrupted. The possibility of accidental injury could occur if
the power returns and the unit is not switched o.

6. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your
equipment (see Specications).
7. This tool is only for use on 120 V (single phase) and is equipped with a
three-prong grounded power supply cord and plug. Check with a qualied
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tool should electronically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user.
a. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way, as
this will render the tool unsafe.
b. Do not use any adapter plugs.
POWER CORD SAFETY
1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever
possible. Use extension cords or surge protectors only when the tool's
power cord cannot reach a power supply from the work area.
a. When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked W-A or W. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed, damaged or poorly
spliced, as an electric shock may occur, resulting in personal injury or
property damage.
3. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm while
operating the tool.
4. Keep all connections dry and o the ground to reduce the risk of electric
shock. Do not touch the plug or wiring with wet hands.
5. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
a. Place the power cord in a position that prevents it from coming into
contact with the tool or getting caught by the workpiece. The cord
should always stay behind the tool.
b. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
c. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
d. Never carry the tool by the power cord

OPERATING THE DRILL PRESS
WARNING! If the drill bit grabs and spins the workpiece, do not attempt
to stop the spinning with your hands, as it can cause an impact injury.
Step back and turn the drill press o. Wait for the spindle to stop
turning before dislodging the workpiece.
1. Adjust the table depth to accomodate the workpiece.
2. Check that the drilling depth will not allow the bit to touch the table. This
can damage the drill bit.
3. Realign the table so the hole is centered underneath the the drill bit if drill
through the workpiece.
4. Place the workpiece on the table. Rotate the feed handle to bring the drill
bit down to check where it will enter the workpiece. Once the workpiece
is in the correct position, clamp it to the table.
a. If drilling a hole through the entire workpiece, place a scrap piece of
wood beneath the workpiece before positioning and clamping. This
will prevent the underside from splintering as the drill bit breaks
through.
b. An irregularly shaped workpiece may not lay at on the table. Block
and clamp it securely as any tilting, twisting or shifting will create a
rough drill hole and may damage the drill bit or drill.
5. Turn the drill press on using the switch.
6. Rotate the speed control knob to adjust the drill bit speed.
a. Burn marks on the workpiece indicates the drill speed is too high for
the drill bit size or workpiece hardness (hardwood). Reduce speed
until the burn marks no longer appear.
b. A ripped-up or chipped bore hole indicates the drill speed is too slow
for the drill bit size or the workpiece softness (softwood), Increase
the drill speed until the bore hole is smooth with clean edges.
7. Pull down on the feed handle and slowly drill a hole into the workpiece.
8. Once the desired depth is reached, slowly push the feed handle up until
the drill bit clears the workpiece.
