EXTENSION CORDS
When using a powertool at a considerable distance from
a power source, use an e,xtension cord heavy enough to
carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting
in a loss of power and overheating. Use the chart pro-
vided to determine the minimum wire size required in an
extension cord. On I y round jacketed cords liste.d by Un-
derwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
Use on I y round jacketed extension cords designated for
outside use. This is indicated by the letters „WA" on the
cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
Additional safety rules for drill presses
WARNING: For your own safety do not try to use your drill
press until it is completely assembled and installed accord-
ing to the instructions and until you have read and under-
stand the following.
• Your drill press must be bolted securely to a work-
bench. In addition, it there is any tendency tor your
drill press to move during certain operations, bolt the
workbench to the floor.
• This drill press is intended for use in dry conditions,
and for indoor use only.
• Protect eyes (always wear safety goggles which com-
ply to a recognized standard), hands, face (use face or
dust mask along with safety goggles if drilling opera-
tion is dusty), ears (use ear protectors, especially dur-
ing extended periods of operation), and body.
• Do not try to drill pieces of material too small to be
securely hold.
• Always keep hands out of path of drill bit. Avoid awk-
ward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the drill bit.
• Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175
mm (7") in length or extends 150 mm (6") below the
chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
• Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters,
circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
• When cutting a large piece of material make sure it is
fully supported at the table height.
• Do not perform any operation freehand. Always hold
the workpiece firmIy against the fence and the table so
it will not rock or twist during the cut. Use jigs, fixtures
or different tool for unstable workpieces.
• Do not feed the material too fast while drilling. OnIy
feed the material fast enough so that the drill bit will
drill without overloading.
• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
• Always position „backup material" 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.
• If the workpiece overhangs the table such that it will
