Before Using The Drill Press
WARNING: Some dust created
by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activi-
ties contains chemicals known (to the
State of California) to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-bases paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry prod-
ucts, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures var-
ies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic par-
ticles.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
mistakes that could cause serious,
permanent injury, do not plug the drill
press in until the following steps have
been satisfactorily completed.

Safety Instructions For Drill Press (continued)
• Never Stand On Tool. Serious
injury could occur if the tool tips or
you accidentally hit the cutting tool.
Do not store anything above or near
the tool where anyone might stand
on the tool to reach them.
Before Each Use
Inspect your drill press.
• If any part is missing, bent or broken
in any way, or any electrical part
does not work properly, turn the drill
press off and unplug the drill press.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, turn the switch
off, unplug the drill press, and
remove the switch key before rais-
ing the guard, changing the cutting
tool, changing the setup, or adjust-
ing anything. Make sure switch is in
OFF position before plugging in.
• Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, drill press stabil-
ity, and any other conditions that
may affect the way the drill press
works.
• Replace damaged or missing parts
before using the drill press again.
• Remove adjusting keys and
wrenches. Form a habit of checking
for and removing keys and adjusting
wrenches from table top before turn-
ing drill press on.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are
tight and no parts have excessive
play.
Use Only Accessories Designed For This Drill Press To Reduce
The Risk of Serious Injury From Thrown Broken Parts Or Work
Pieces
• When cutting large diameter holes:
rotary planers on this drill press.
- Clamp the workpiece firmly to the Thrown Workpiece
table. Otherwise the cutting tool
may grab and spin it at high speed.
- Use only one piece, cup-type, hole
cutters.
- Do not use fly cutters or multi-part
hole cutters as they can come
apart or become unbalanced in
use.
• Thrown Workpiece is the grabbing
of the workpiece by the rotating
tool. The workpiece can be thrown
at a very high speed in the direc-
tion of rotation. This Can Cause
Serious Injury. To reduce the pos-
sibility of injury from thrown work:
- Clamp the workpiece firmly to the
table whenever possible.
- Keep speed below 1500 R.P.M.
• Drum sanders must never be oper-
ated on this drill press at a speed
greater than 1800 R.P.M.
• Do not install or use any drill that
exceeds 7” in length or extends 6”
below the chuck jaws. They can
suddenly bend outward or break.
- Buffing or sanding wheels or
drums should be contacted on the
side moving away from you, not
the side moving toward you.
- Use only recommended accesso-
ries and follow the instructions
supplied with the accessory.
• Do not use wire wheels, router bits,
shaper cutters, circle (fly) cutters or

• To prevent the workpiece from being
torn from your hands, spinning of
the tool, shattering the tool or being
thrown, always properly support
your work so it won’t shift or bind on
the tool:
- Always position backup material
(use beneath the workpiece) to
contact the left side of the column.
- 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. Use table slots or clamping
ledge around the outside edge of
the table.
- When using a drill press vise,
always fasten it to a table.
- Never do any work “Freehand”
(hand holding workpiece rather
than supporting it on the table),
except when polishing.
- Securely lock head to column,
table support to column and table
to table support before operating
drill press.
- Never move the head or table
while the tool is running.

Information
WARNING: If not properly
grounded, this tool can cause an
electrical shock, particularly when
used in damp locations, in proximity
to plumbing, or outdoors. If an elec-
trical shock occurs there is the
potential of a secondary hazard,
such as your hands to hit the cut-
ting tool.
NOTE: The plug supplied on your tool
may not fit into the outlet you are planning
to use. Your local electrical code may
require slightly different power cord plug
connections. If these differences exist
refer to and make the proper adjustments
per your local code before your tool is
plugged in and turned on.
In the event of a malfunction or break-
down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug, as shown. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.

a. Motor Is Overloaded - Overloading
can occur if you feed too rapidly or
make too many start/stops in a short
time.
b. Line voltages should not be more than
10% above or below the nameplate
voltage. For heavy loads, however, the
voltage at motor terminals must equal
the voltage specified for your model.
c. Improper or dull drill bit is used.
4. Most motor troubles may be traced to
loose or incorrect connections, overload,
low voltage (such as small size wire in
the supply circuit) or to overly long sup-
ply circuit wire. Always check the con-
nections, the load and the supply circuit
whenever motor doesn't work well.
Check wire sizes and length with the
Wire Size Chart shown.

hood of personal injury.
Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears
Dress for safety
• To prevent the workpiece from being
torn from your hands, spinning of
the tool, shattering the tool or being
thrown, always properly support
your work so it won’t shift or bind on
the tool:
- Always position backup material
(use beneath the workpiece) to
contact the left side of the column.
- 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. Use table slots or clamping
ledge around the outside edge of
the table.
- When using a drill press vise,
always fasten it to a table.
- Never do any work “Freehand”
(hand holding workpiece rather
than supporting it on the table),
except when polishing.
- Securely lock head to column,
table support to column and table
to table support before operating
drill press.
- Never move the head or table
while the tool is running.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist
watches). They can get caught and
draw you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To reduce
the risk of possible hearing damage,
wear ear plugs or muffs when using
drill press for hours at a time.
Plan Your Work
• Don’t force the tool. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
• Use the right tool. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job it was not
designed to do.
• If any part of your drill press is miss-
ing, malfunctioning, has been dam-
aged or broken...such as the motor
switch, or other operating control, a
guard, safety device or the power
cord, turn the drill press off and
unplug it until the particular part is
properly repaired or replaced.
- Before starting the operation, jog
the motor switch to make sure the
drill or other cutting tool does not
wobble or cause vibration.
- If a workpiece overhangs the table
such that it will fall or tip if not held,
clamp it to the table or provide aux-
iliary support.
• Never place your fingers in a posi-
tion where they could contact the
drill or other cutting tool if the work-
piece should unexpectedly shift or
your hand should slip.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
parts thrown by the spring, follow
instructions exactly as given and
shown in adjusting spring tension
of quill.
- Use fixtures for unusual operations
to adequately hold, guide and posi-
tion workpiece.

thrown work or tool contact, do not
perform layout, assembly or setup
work on the table while the cutting
tool is rotating.
• Don’t overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
• Never climb on the drill press table,
it could break or pull the entire drill
press down on you.
• Turn the motor switch off and put
away the switch key when leaving
the drill press.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accesso-
ries.
Use Only Accessories Designed For This Drill Press To Reduce
the Risk of Serious Injury From Thrown Broken Parts Or Work
Pieces
• When cutting large diameter holes: • Drum sanders must never be oper-
ated on this drill press at a speed
greater than 1800 R.P.M.
• Do not install or use any drill that
exceeds 7” in length or extends 6”
below the chuck jaws. They can
suddenly bend outward or break.
- Clamp the workpiece firmly to the
table. Otherwise the cutting may
grab and spin it at high speed.
- Use only one piece, cup-type, hole
cutters.
- Do not use fly cutters or multi-part
hole cutters as they can come • Do not use wire wheels, router bits,
apart or become unbalanced in
use.
shaper cutters, circle (fly) cutters or
rotary planers on this drill press.
- Keep speed below 1500 R.P.M.
Basic Drill Press Operation
Installing Drills
Insert drill into chuck far enough to obtain
maximum gripping of the chuck jaws. The
jaws are approximately 1" long. When
using a small drill do not insert it so far
that the jaws touch the flutes (spiral
grooves) of the drill. Make sure that the
drill is centered in the chuck before tight-
ening the chuck with the key.
Chuck Key
Chuck
Jaws
Tighten the drill sufficiently, so that is does
not slip while drilling.
Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten,
counterclockwise to loosen.

Positioning Table and Workpiece
Lock the table to the column in a position
so that the tip of the drill is just a little
above the top of the workpiece.
Always place a piece of backup material
(wood, plywood, etc.) on the table under-
neath the workpiece. This will prevent
“splintering” or making a heavy burr on
the underside on the workpiece as the
drill breaks through. To keep the backup
material from spinning out of control, it
must contact the left side of the column,
as illustrated.
Workpiece
WARNING: To prevent the work-
piece or the backup material from
being torn from your hand while
drilling, position them against the
left side of the column. If the work-
piece or the backup material are not
long enough to reach the column,
clamp them to the table. Failure to
do this could result in personal
injury.
Backup
Material
For small pieces that cannot be clamped
to the table, use a drill press vise (not
included).
Workpiece
WARNING: The vise must be
clamped or bolted to the table to
reduce the risk of injury from spin-
ning work and vise or tool break-
age.

injury from spinning work or tool
breakage, always clamp workpiece
and backup material securely to
table before operating drill press
with the table tilted.
To return table to original position: Loosen
set screw and bevel lock, tilt table back to
0° on bevel scale and retighten set screw,
then tighten bevel lock.
Hole Location
Make a dent in the workpiece where you
want the hole, using a center punch or a
sharp nail.
Before turning the switch on, bring the drill
down to the workpiece lining it up with the
hole location.
Feeding
Pull down on the feed handles with only
enough effort to allow the drill to cut.
Feeding too slowly might cause the drill to
burn. Feeding too rapidly might stop the
motor, cause the belt or drill to slip, tear
the workpiece loose or break the drill bit.
When drilling metal, it may be necessary
to lubricate the tip of the drill with cutting
oil or motor oil to prevent burning of the
drill tip.

Lubrication
All of the ball bearings are packed with
grease at the factory. They require no fur-
ther lubrication.
Periodically lubricate the table elevation
mechanism, the splines (grooves) in the
spindle, and the rack (teeth of the quill).
See “Getting to Know Your Drill Press”.
WARNING: For your own safety,
turn switch OFF (O) and remove
plug from power source outlet
before maintaining or lubricating
your drill press.
A coat of automotive type paste wax
applied to the table and column will help
to keep the surfaces clean.
