General Safety Information
(Continued)
12. Turn machine off if it jams. Drill bit
or cutter jams when it digs too
deeply into workpiece. (Motor force
keeps it stuck in the work.)
13. Clamp workpiece or brace against
column to prevent rotation.
14. Feed work into a bit or cutter
against the direction of rotation of
bit or cutter.
15. Use recommended speed for mill drill
accessory and workpiece material.
Think safety! Safety
is a combination of
operator common sense and alertness at
all times when tool is being used.
Assembly
Refer to Figures 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8.

clearance to accommodate full move-
ment of the table. See Figure 2 for
minimum work space required.
If stand is used, be sure to bolt mill drill
to stand and level stand to floor to min-
imize vibration. Tighten all nuts and
bolts that may have loosened in ship-
ping. Secure mill drill base to stand or
bench.
