replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay
constantly aware of cord location and keep it well
away from the rotating blade.
■ Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged.
■ Ground all tools. If tool is equipped with three-prong
plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle.
■ Use only correct electrical devices: 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
■ Keep tool dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any solvents to clean tool.
■ Never start a tool when any rotating component is
in contact with the workpiece.
■ Do not operate a tool while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
■ When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
■ Use only recommended accessories listed in
this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that
are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury.
Instructions for safe use of accessories are included
with the accessory.
SPECIAL SAFETY RULES
■ Keep bits clean and sharp. Sharp bits minimize
stalling. Dirty and dull bits may cause misalignment of
the material and possible operator injury.
■ Keep hands away from work area. Keep hands
away from the bit. Restrain any loose clothing, jewelry,
long hair, etc., That may become entangled in the bit.
■ Always clamp workpiece or brace against column
to prevent rotation. Never use your hand to hold the
object while drilling.
■ Use recommended speed for drill accessory and
workpiece material.
■ Be sure drill bit or cutting tool is securely locked
in the chuck.
■ Be sure chuck key is removed from the chuck before
connecting to power source or turning power on.
■ Adjust the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into
the table. Shut off the power, remove the drill bit, and
clean the table before leaving machine.
■ Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser
guide.
■ Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a surface
without reflective properties. Shiny reflective
materials are not suitable for laser use.
■ Never place your fingers in a position where they
could contact the drill or other cutting tool if the
workpiece should unexpectedly shift.
■ Never perform any operation by moving the head
or table with respect to one another. Do not turn the
motor switch on or start any operation before checking
that the head and table support lock handle is clamped
tight to column and head and table support collars are
correctly positioned.
■ Before engaging the power switch, make sure
the belt guard is down and the chuck is installed
properly.
■ Lock the motor switch off when leaving the drill
press. Do not perform layout, assembly, or set-up
work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating,
switched on, or connected to a power source.
■ If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorised
service centre to avoid risk.
■ Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should
be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach of
children.
■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, 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 lter
out microscopic particles.
ELECTRICAL
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug. When using a power tool at a considerable
distance from the power source, use an extension 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 causing the motor
to overheat.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
