1. THIS DRILL PRESS is intended for use in dry conditions, indoor use only.
2. 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.
3. DO NOT wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.
4. DO NOT try to drill material too small to be securely held.
5. 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.
6.  DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175mm in length or extends 150mm below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
7. DO NOT USE wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
8. WHEN cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is fully supported at the table height.
9. 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.
10. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be drilled.
11. CLAMP THE WORKPIECE OR BRACE IT against the left side of the column to prevent rotation. If it is too short or the table is tilted, clamp it solidly to the table.
12. 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.
13. SECURE THE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
14.  MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly tightened before drilling.
15. SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD and table support to the column, and the table to the table support before operating the drill press.
