GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES

   • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

      extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

 Use of a cord

      suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

   • If operating a power tool in a damp location is

      unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

      protected supply.

 Use of an RCD reduces the risk of 

      electric shock.

Personal safety
   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

      sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power

      tool while you are tied or under the influence of drugs,

      alcohol or medication.

 A moment of inattention while

      operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

   • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

      protection.

 Protective equipment such as dust mask, 

      nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used

      for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

      the off-position before connecting to power source

      and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

      Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

      energizing power tools that have the switch on invites

      accidents.

   • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the

      power tool on.

 A wrench or a key left attached to a

      rotating part of the power tool may result in personal

      injury.

   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

      all times.

 This enables better control of the power tool in

      unexpected situations.

   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

      Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving

      parts.

 Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught 

      in moving parts.

   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust

      extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

      connected and properly used.

 Use of dust collection can

      reduce dust-related hazards.

   • Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools

      allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety

      principles.

 A careless action can cause severe injury

      within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care
   • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

      for your application.

 The correct power tool will do the

      job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

   • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it 

      on and off.

 Any power tool that cannot be controlled with

      the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

      remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

      tool before making any adjustments, changing

      accessories, or storing power tools.

 Such preventive

      safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power

      tool accidentally.

   • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

      do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

      these instructions to operate the power tool.

 Power

      tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

   • Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

      misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

      parts and any other condition that may affect the

      power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

      tool repaired before use.

 Many accidents are caused by

      poorly maintained power tools.

   • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly maintained

      cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to

      bind and are easier to control.

   • Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

       accordance with these instructions, taking into account

      the working conditions and the work to be performed.

      Use of the power tool for operations different from those

      intended could result in a hazardous situation.

   • Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free

      from oil and grease.

 Slippery handles and grasping

      surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

      tool in unexpected situations.

Service
   • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

      person using only identical replacement parts.

 This will

      ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR DRILL PRESS

WARNING

For your own safety, do not try to use your drill press 

or plug it in until it is completely assembled and

installed according to the instructions, and until you

have read and understood this instruction manual.

• YOUR DRILL PRESS MUST BE BOLTED

 securely to a

      workbench. In addition, if there is any tendency for your

      drill press to move during certain operations, bolt the

      workbench to the floor.
   

• THIS DRILL PRESS

 is intended for use in dry conditions,

      indoor use only.

   • WEAR EYE PROTECTION. USE

 a face or dust mask

      along with safety goggles if drilling operation is dusty.

      USE ear protectors, especially during extended periods

      of operation.

• DO NOT

 wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.

• DO NOT

 try to drill material too small to be securely held.

• ALWAYS

 keep hands out of the path of a drill bit. Avoid

      awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause 

      your hand to move into the drill bit.
   

• DO NOT

 install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175 mm 

      (7 in.) in length or extends 150 mm (6 in.) below the chuck 

      jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
   

• DO NOT USE

 wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters,

      circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
   

• WHEN

 cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is

      fully supported at the table height.
   

• DO NOT

 perform any operation freehand. 

ALWAYS

 hold

      the workpiece firmly against the table so it will not rock or

      twist. Use clamps or a vise for unstable workpieces.
