[. . . ] "READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE When not in use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE In working order, and in proper adjustment and alignment. [. . . ] Thread the three feed handle rods (1) into the holes on the feed hub (2). Note: One or two of the feed handles may be removed if an unusually-shaped workpiece interferes with handle rotation. Press the tab (1) located below the laser switch (2) and lift up the laser switch cover (3). Remove the laser light batteries when the tool is to be stored without use for a few days or more. If left in position, the batteries might leak and damage the laser light assembly. Your drill press must be securely fastened through the mounting holes (1) to a stand or work bench with heavyduty fasteners. This will prevent the drill press from tipping over, sliding, or walking during operation. Remove all grease, coatings, and particles from the chuck and spindle surfaces with a clean cloth. Seat the chuck on the spindle by placing a block of wood (4) under the chuck (1) and tapping the wood with a hammer (5) or tap the chuck with a rubber mallet. Make sure the jaws are completely recessed inside the chuck. CAUTION sure the jaws are completely recessed into the chuck. Do not use a metal hammer directly to drive the chuck into the spindle. Place a ball joint separator (not shown) above the chuck (3) and tap it lightly with a hammer (4) to cause the chuck to drop from the spindle. Note: To avoid possible damage, be prepared to catch the chuck as it falls. Turn the feed handles (1) to lower the chuck (2) to the lowest position. Turn switch "OFF" and remove plug from the power source before making adjustments. Follow instructions carefully and wear eye protection to avoid thrown parts due to spring release. Never operate drill press with pulley cover open 1. Loosen the belt tension lock knobs (2) on both sides of the drill press. Place a belt (4) on the motor pulley (5) and the spindle pulley (6) in the proper position for the desired speed (see Fig. Note: The belt (4) should be tight enough to prevent slippage. Correct tension is set if the belt flexes about 1/2" when thumb pressure is applied at the midpoint of the belt between the pulleys. [. . . ] It is always necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with oil to prevent overheating the drill bit. All metal workpieces should be clamped down securely. Any tilting, twisting, or shifting causes a rough drill hole, and increases the potential of drill bit breakage. Never hold a metal workpiece with your bare hands. [. . . ]
