ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL PRESSES

1. This drill press is intended for use only with

drill bits. The use of any other accessories may

be hazardous.

2. CHECK to see that the drill bit is securely

locked in the chuck.

3. CORRECT DRILLING SPEEDS

Important factors which determine the best

speed to use in any drill press operation are:

a) The smaller the drill the greater the

required r.p.m. (revolutions per minute)

b) In soft materials the speed should be

higher than for hard materials.

4. MAKE sure that the chuck key is removed

before turning on the power.

5. CHECK to see that the chuck is securely

fastened to the spindle.

6. CAUTION. When practical, use a vice or

clamps to secure workpiece to avoid work-

piece rotating with the drill bit.

7. SECURE the tool to a workbench of floor. If

during operation there is any tendency for the

drill press to tip over, slide or walk on the

supporting surface, the drill base must be

secured to the supporting surface with

fasteners through the holes located in the drill

press base.

8. For your safety DO NOT wear gloves when

operating a drill press.
