WARNING To avoid injury from spinning work or tool breakage, always clamp workpiece and backup material securely to the table before operating the drill press with the table tilted. Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill bit to cut. Feeding too rapidly might stop the motor, cause the belt or drill to slip, or tear the workpiece loose and break the drill bit. When drilling metal, it may be necessary to lubricate the drill bit tip with motor oil, to prevent burning. Fig. [. . . ]
