 WaRninG

Like all power equipment, there is danger associated with the 
Ironwood DBR50. Use caution and follow all safety instructions. 
Take every precaution to protect yourself, others around you, and 
the machine itself from improper use. Safety is a combination of 
common sense, training, and being alert at all times while operating 
your machine. If instructions, warnings, and cautions are not 
followed, serious personal injury or death may occur.

EYE PROTECTION:

 Always wear approved safety glasses or a face 

shield when operating this machine. Only use eye protection that 
meets or exceeds the standards of the American National Standards 
Institute (ANSI). 

EAR PROTECTION:

 Always wear ear protection during machine 

operation.

DRESS CODE:

 Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, jewelry, or 

gloves that can get caught in moving parts. Confine long hair and 
keep sleeves above the elbow.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING:

 Your machine must be electrically 

grounded. If a cord and plug are used, make certain the machine is 
properly grounded. Follow the grounding procedure indicated by the 
National Electric Code and local regulating authorities.

GUARDS:

 Make certain that machine guards are in place and in 

good working order. The machine should never be operated without 
the safety guards in place.

TOOLING AND ACCESSORIES:

 Use only recommended tooling 

and accessories. Improper tooling and accessories may cause 
personal injury or damage to your machine. Regularly maintain 
your tools and accessories. Follow instructions for lubricating and 
changing tooling and accessories. 

POWER:

 Make sure the starter is in the OFF position before 

connecting power to the machine. 

Make certain the machine is either unplugged or electrically 
disconnected and locked out when performing all maintenance, 
cleaning, or machine adjustments. Never leave the machine running 
unattended. Always turn the power off and stay by the machine until 
the drill spindles completely stop rotating. 

HOUSEKEEPING:

 Before turning the machine on, remove all extra 

items on or around the machine. Keep the work area clean and free 
of scrap material, sawdust, and other debris to minimize the danger 
of slipping. Use compressed air or a brush to remove chips or 
debris. NEVER use your hands.
