Before Operating 

 

 

Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will 
operate properly and perform its intended function.

Before operating your Drill Press check for damaged parts.  

Make certain that the power is OFF before plugging the tool in.

Make sure all clamps, locks and bolts are tight.

Always check  that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the machine work surface before plugging 
it in.

Use grounded receptacle only for 110 Volt hookup.

Give the Drill Press a test run.  If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates irregularly, turn it off, unplug it and 
have the problem corrected by a qualified technician.  

Make certain to turn off and unplug the Drill Press when doing any maintenance.  The tool should always be 
turned off and unplugged when not in use.

Keep Guards in place and in working order.

Do not abuse the power cord.  Do not yank on cord to disconnect it from outlet.  Keep the cord away from 
heat, oil and sharp edges.  

Note:  Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage.  Extension  
Cord usage may also affect tool performance.

Grounding/Voltage Warning

Common household current is 110-120 volts.  As long as the outlet used with the tool is rated from 110-120V 
there will be no complications using it with household receptacles.  Plug the tool into a  110-120V properly 
grounded outlet protected by a 15-amp, dual element time delay or circuit breaker.

NEVER try to plug a 110-120V tool into a 220-240V circuit or serious complications and possible injury to the 
operator may occur.  The plugs have different shapes to prevent this.

This tool has a three-prong plug.  The third (round) prong is the ground.  Cutting off the ground will result in a 
safety hazard and void the warranty.

If the outlet you are planning to use is the two-prong type, do not remove or alter the grounding prong in any 
manner.  Use an adapter and always connect the grounding plug to a known grounding source.  It is recommended 
that you have a qualified electrician replace the two-prong outlet with a properly grounded three- prong outlet.
