[. . . ] Also, use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty, and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. DISCONNECT TOOL 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. [. . . ] do not use bits that have a cutting diameter that exceed the capacity of the tool. Dull bits require more force to push the workpiece, possibly causing the bit to break. Always make sure the workpiece is free from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail will damage the bit and can cause the workpiece to jump causing loss of control. Clamping the workpiece allows you to use both hands to control the tool. securing workpiece will prevent spinning or climbing on the drill during operation. Use a "V" block for supporting round stock such as tubes or rods when drilling. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to "bite" or the workpiece to jump toward you. You must set and lock tool head into the desired position and depth of cut when performing operations other than drilling. Bring the workpiece to the tool and allow for sufficient space, at least 150 mm (6"), between your hand and the spinning bit. When this drill stand is used for routing, sanding, brushing, milling, etc. Use extra caution because the side of the bit performs the cutting action. Feed the workpiece on the side of the bit that rotates against the workpiece. Feeding the work in the wrong direction will cause the workpiece to "climb" up on the bit and may lead to loss of control during operation. the bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the workpiece. The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not always be obvious. After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown. Contact with a spinning bit will cause injury and after use the bit is too hot to be touched by bare hands. Only when tool comes to a complete stop it is safe to remove workpiece and clean the stand. Safety is a combination of operator COMMON SENSE and ALERTNESS at all times when the tool is being used. Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. [. . . ] Slip tabs on the back edge of the base plate into rear of the table opening (Fig. Lower front edge of the base plate into opening and lower the red latch lever Y. Note ­ The drilling lever can be adjusted to the desired working position. For this purpose, remove the plastic bolt cover (DP3) and loosen the lever attachment bolt (DP2). [. . . ]
