DRILL PRESS

• ALWAYS wear Safety Glasses

• ALWAYS secure loose clothing and long hair

• ALWAYS secure the workpiece with clamps or vice 

• NEVER hold the workpiece with your hand while drilling 

• NEVER loosen the drill chuck when the machine is turned on 

• DO NOT adjust the speed of the drill when the machine is powered off: you will damage the steering wheel 

• DO NOT drill with a lot of pressure; it prevents breaking through the bottom of the material 

• DO NOT use a cracked or dull drill. Inspect the drill

• DO NOT use your hand to stop the spindle.  

• Remove chips ONLY with a brush 

• If drilling through a material, align the drill to the table hole

  • This is ONLY for Floor Mounted Drill Press

• Make sure the drill bit is mounted straight in the chuck

• Clean ONLY when the machine is powered off 

• If the drill binds into the hole, stop the machine and turn the spindle backward by hand to release the bit

• When drilling a deep hole, withdraw the drill bit frequently to clean chips and lubricate the bit

• Let the spindle stop on its own when powered off. 

• Acrylic and other brittle can be difficult to drill. Use the correct drill bit and use a slow speed for it.
