GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety
- a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- e. 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.
- f. 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
- a. 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 tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- c. 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 energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- d. 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.
- e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- g. 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.
- h. 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
- a. 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.
- b. 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.
- c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
- d. 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.
- e. Maintain power tools. 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.
- f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- g. 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.
- h. 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
- a. 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.

DRILL PRESS SAFETY WARNINGS

The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING! Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

The drill must be secured. A drill that is not properly secured may move or tip over and may result in personal injury. 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 and indoor use only.
Always wear safety goggles which comply to a recognised standard. Use a face or dust mask along with safety goggles if the drilling operation is dusty. Use ear protectors, especially during extended periods of operation.
The workpiece must be clamped or secured to the workpiece support. Do not drill pieces that are too small to be clamped securely. Holding the workpiece by hand during operation may result in personal injury.
Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the rotating parts or chips leading to personal injury.
Keep your hands out of the drilling area while the tools is running. Contact with rotating parts or chips may result in personal injury.
Make sure the accessory is rotating before feeding into the workpiece. Otherwise the accessory may become jammed in the workpiece causing unexpected movement of the workpiece and personal injury.
When the accessory is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and switch off the tool. Investigaete and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the jam. Jamming can cause unexpected movement of the workpiece and personal injury.
Avoid generating long chips by regularly interrupting downward pressure. Sharp metal chips may cause entanglement and personal injuries.
Never remove chips from the drilling area while the tool is running. To remove ships, move the accessory away from the workpiece, switch off the tool and wait for the accessory to stop moving. Use tools such as a brush or hook to remove chips. Contact with rotating parts or chips may result in personal injury.
Accessories with speed ratings must be rated at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
Do not try to drill material too small to be securely held. Do not drill material that does not have a flat surface unless it is clamped securely.
Always keep hands out of the path of the 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 175mm (7 inches) in length or extends more than 150mm (6 inches) below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend outwards or break.
Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle (fly) cutters or rotary planers on this drill press.
When drilling 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 vice for unstable workpieces.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be drilled.
Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact the left side of the column; if it is too short or the table is tilted, clamp solidly to the table.
If the workpiece overhangs the table such that it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary support.
