General Safety Rules
WARNING! Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT: Before switching the drill press on, ALWAYS check the machine for the correct setting and
speed, as well as ensuring the Chuck Key is removed.
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL. Learn the machine’s
application and limitations, plus the specific hazards
particular to it.
2. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES (must be ANSI
approved) Everyday eyeglasses usually are only impact
resistant and safety glasses only protect eyes. A full-face
shield will protect the eyes and face. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty.
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
4. USE EAR PROTECTORS. Use ear muffs for extended
period of operation. Use muffs rated to 103 DBA LEQ (8
hour).
5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well lighted. The NOVA Viking
DVR Drill press is intended for indoor use only. Failure to
do so may void the warranty.
14. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
15. USE CORRECT TOOLS. Do not use a tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
improper accessories may cause hazards.
17. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and be
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
18. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp
and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
20. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
21. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
22. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
23. PAY ATTENTION TO WORK. Concentrate on your work. If
you become tired or frustrated, leave it for a while and rest.
24. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vice to hold work when
practical. Severe injury or death can occur if an object comes
free as it can become a dangerous projectile.
25. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. Any damaged part should be properly
repaired or replaced.
26. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate
machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication.
27. DUST WARNING. The dust generated by certain woods
and wood products can be harmful to your health. Always
operate machinery in well-ventilated areas and provide
means for proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection
systems whenever possible.
28. DO NOT MODIFY OR USE DRILL PRESS FOR USES
OTHER THAN FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED.
6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents. Build-up of sawdust is a fire hazard.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. The Nova
Viking DVR is not recommended for children and infirm
persons. Such personnel and onlookers should be kept a
safe distance from work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with locks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
9. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is equipped with a
three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to
accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug
must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the
third prong.
10. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER
SUPPLY while the motor is being mounted, connected,
or reconnected.
11. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM WALL SOCKET before
servicing and when changing accessories such as bits,
cutters and fuses etc.
12. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in
the “Off” position before plugging in power cord.
13. NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.
Do not leave machine unless it is turned off and has come
to a complete stop

Additional Safety Rules for Drill Presses
WARNING! Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1. SEEK INSTRUCTION. If you are not thoroughly familiar
with the operation of drill press, obtain advice from your
supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person.
Instruction from a qualified person is strongly
recommended.
2. DO NOT OPERATE DRILL PRESS until it is completely
assembled and installed. Follow instructions and
recommendations.
3. FOLLOW ELECTRICAL CODES. Make sure wiring codes
and recommended electrical connections are followed
and that the machine is properly grounded.
4. WHEN REPLACING THE FUSE (on relevant models),
completely isolate power when removing the fuse. It is
imperative the plug is removed from the power supply
before the fuse is removed. Replace fuse cap before
reconnecting to power.
5. DO NOT OPEN THE SWITCH AND REAR COVERS.
Components can carry dangerous voltages even when
isolated from mains power.
6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Do not turn the drill press
on before clearing the drill press of all objects (tools,
scraps of wood, etc.). Keep the nearby area and floor clear
of debris.
7. CHECK SET-UP with spindle off. Examine the set-up
carefully and rotate the work piece by hand to check
clearance and check speed is correctly selected before
turning on spindle.
8. DO NOT MAKE ADJUSTMENTS when the drill press
spindle is turning. Make all adjustments with power OFF.
9. TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES on the drill press before
operating drill press.
10. ALWAYS CHECK CORRECT SPEED IS SELECTED
BEFORE SWITCHING ON DRILL PRESS.
11. OPERATE AT RECOMMENDED SPEED. Always operate
the drill press at the recommended speeds. Consult the
built-in speed chart on the drill press for suggested
speeds.
12. DO NOT OPERATE DRILL PRESS IF DAMAGED OR
FAULTY. If any part of your drill press is missing, damaged
or broken, in any way, or any electrical component fails, shut
off the drill press and disconnect the drill press from the
power supply. Replace missing, damaged, or failed parts
before resuming operation.
13. ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION (only for
