2 GETTING STARTED STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS Make sure all supporting structures and load attaching devices are strong enough to hold your intended loads. If in doubt, consult a qualified structural engineer. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The power supply to the Drill Press needs to be 115 volt/ 28 amp, single phase, 60 Hz. The standard allowable voltage variation is plus or minus 10%. TOOLS NEEDED: Standard mechanic s hand tool set. UNPACKING WARNING: Be careful not to touch overhead power lines, piping, lighting, etc. if lifting equipment is used. Drill Press weighs approximately 650 lbs, proper tools, equipment and qualified personnel should be employed in all phases of unpacking and installation. Crates should be handled with care to avoid damage from dropping, bumping, etc. Store and unpack crates with correct side up. After uncrating Drill Press, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing or damaged parts. If any damage or loss has occurred, claim must be filed with carrier immediately. Check for completeness. Immediately report missing parts to dealer. IMPORTANT: The tool has been coated with a protective coating. In order to ensure proper fit and operation, the coating must be removed. Remove coating with mild solvents such as mineral spirits and a soft cloth. Nonflammable solvents are recommended. After cleaning, cover all exposed metal surfaces with a light coating of oil. Paste wax is recommended for table top. CAUTION: Never use highly volatile solvents. Avoid getting cleaning solution on paint as it may tend to deteriorate these finishes. Use soap and water on painted components. CONTENTS: Drill press (1) Riser handle (1) Operating Instructions and Parts Manual (1) UNPACK: Pry crate loose at the bottom on all four sides. Lift crate up and over drill press. Unbolt drill press from pallet and carefully lift drill press off pallet using appropriate hoisting equipment and straps. Do not discard packing materials until after machine has been inspected for damage and completeness. INSPECT: After unpacking the unit, carefully inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing or damaged parts. Shipping damage claims must be filed with the carrier. All tools should be visually inspected before use, in addition to regular periodic maintenance inspections. Be sure that the voltage labeled on the unit matches your power supply. See General Safety Instructions, Cautions and Warnings as shown. SAFETY RULES WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the instructions and precautions before operating tool. PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some dust created by using power tools contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based paints. Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products. Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools. WARNING: Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in this manual even if you are familiar with the use of this or similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury. BE PREPARED FOR JOB Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts of machine. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles. Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty. Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause drowsiness. PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite accidents. Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power tools to rain. Work area should be properly lighted. Proper electrical receptacle should be available for tool. Threeprong plug should be plugged directly into properly grounded, three-prong receptacle. Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area. Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools. TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED Always unplug tool prior to inspection. Read operating instructions manual for specific maintaining and adjusting procedures. Keep tool lubricated. Use sharp cutters and keep the tool clean for safest operation. Remove adjusting tools. Form the habit of checking that adjusting tools are removed before turning on the machine. 2

3 SAFETY RULES (CONTINUED) Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their intended function. Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may affect a tool s operation. Damaged parts should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use the parts list provided to order replacement parts.) KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL Use the right tool for the job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Disconnect tool when changing accessories such as bits, cutters and the like. Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure switch is in OFF position before plugging in. Always check that drill press head and table are securely locked to the column before operating the drill press. Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for which it was designed. Handle workpiece correctly. Secure work with clamps or vise. Leave hands free to operate machine. Protect hands from possible injury. Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped or if cutter is unintentionally contacted. Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces. Know your tool. Learn its operation, application and specific limitations. Feed work into a bit or cutter against the direction of rotation of bit or cutter. Turn the machine off if it jams. A cutter jams when it digs too deeply into the workpiece. (The motor force keeps it stuck in workpiece.) CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when tool is being used.
