[. . . ] "READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury. 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. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES When not in use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc. [. . . ] Failure to properly ground this power tool can cause electrocution or serious shock, particularly when used near metal plumbing or other metal objects. Slide the table support and rack assembly (3, 5, 6) down together onto the column. Insert the bottom edge of the rack into the lip (7) of the column support. Insert the table support crank handle (9) into the worm gear shaft on the side of the table support (8). Make sure the set screw (10) is aligned on the flat of the shaft and as close to the table support as possible. Lift the drill press head assembly (1) carefully and place the mounting hole of the drill press head onto the top of the column (2). 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. 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. Loosen the belt tension lock knobs (2) on both sides of the drill press. [. . . ] To reduce splintering and protect the point of the bit, use scrap wood as a backing or a base block under the workpiece. Pull down on the feed handles with only enough force to allow the drill bit to cut. Remember, smaller drill bits require greater speed than large drill bits. It is always necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with oil to prevent overheating the drill bit. [. . . ]
