USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING THIS DRILL PRESS OR OTHER POWER TOOLS. Never try to perform drilling operations on work pieces that are too large to be clamped to the worktable or vises. Keep this manual and refer to it often to ensure proper operation and prevent unnecessary accidents or injuries. SYMBOLS IMPORTANT: Some of the following symbols may be used on your tool. Please study them and learn their meaning. Proper interpretation of these symbols will allow you to operate the tool better and safer.

Failure to adhere to this step could result in damage to both the work piece and the drill press as well as possible severe injury to the operator. THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE DRILL PRESS before changing types of work pieces. Combining wood and metal dust can result in an explosion or fire. CONSULT EXPERT advice before drilling in work pieces made of magnesium. The friction generated by the drill bit could the magnesium to ignite resulting in a very intense fire that could cause severe burns to the operator and/or seriously damage the drill press. NEVER PERFORM DRILLING OPERATIONS NEAR FLAMMABLE GAS OR LIQUIDS. The resulting fire and/or explosion could cause permanent serious injuries to the operator and damage to the drill press and surrounding work area. ALWAYS KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the work piece while it is on the table and the drill press is turned on. Severe injury could result. ALWAYS CLAMP THE WORK PIECE FIRMLY AGAINST THE WORK TABLE. Never attempt to hold the workpiece by hand. The drill bit can seize in the work piece causing it to spin rapidly. This will cause loss of control of the work piece resulting in severe injuries or damage to the work piece and drill press. NEVER APPLY A COOLANT directly to the work piece while it is in contact with the drill bit. Coolant can weaken the makeup of the drill bits causing them to fail. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT OR ASSEMBLY to work pieces in front of the drill press while it is still running. A sudden slip could bring hands in contact with the moving parts of the drill press resulting in injury to the operator. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Ensure the “ON/OFF” switch is set to the “OFF” position before plugging the power cord into the AC outlet. TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH on the drill press to the “OFF” position and unplug the power cord from the electrical receptacle when the drilling operations are finished. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the drill press making it ready for the next use. NEVER LEAVE THE DRILL PRESS RUNNING UNATTENDED. when finished with a drilling operation, turn “off” the drill press and wait until it comes to a complete stop.

Collar ASSEMBLY DO NOT connect the power cord to the AC receptacle until the drill press is completely assembled and that all cutting tools are securely locked in the chuck. TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY The tools, pictured above, are supplied by the customer. The only requirement is that the combination square be true. That is, the sliding ruler and the adjustable head must form a perfect 90° angle. This can be checked by placing the square on the corner of a right triangle. A right triangle can be obtained from a local hardware retailer. Place the right triangle next to the combination square head and ruler. Loosen the thumbscrew in the square head and adjust it to the right triangle so there are no gaps between the triangle and the combination square. 12 SLOTTED SCREWDRIVER COMBINATION SQUARE ADJUSTABLE WRENCH NO GAP NO GAP 3 2 24 1 15 16 19 20 21 22 6 7 13 9 14 8 23 10 11 12 4 17 18 5 13.
