- | __Start With A Risk Assessment To Ensure A Safe Work Area:__ | + | TODO: FINISH THIS |
- | - A two foot perimeter around the drill press should be kept clear of people, debris and sawdust that impair traction or footing to avoid slips and falls. | + | |
- | - Safety glasses with side shields or a face shield must be worn. Hearing protection should be worn. | + | |
- | - Remove loose fitting clothing, jewelry, and tie back long hair. | + | |
- | - Give the work your undivided attention. | + | |
- | - Do not wear gloves or anything that would allow a hand, fingers or clothing to be wrapped around the revolving bit. | + | |
- | __Operational Safety Rules:__ | + | ======= Shut down ========== |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | - Make sure the size of the bit is equal to or less than the capacity of the drill press. | + | |
- | - Do not exceed the recommended speeds for the type and size of drill bit being used or composition of the stock being drilled. | + | |
- | - Center punch the drill-hole location into the stock. | + | |
- | - Insert bit into drill chuck and tighten | + | |
- | | + | |
- | - Drill into cylindrical stock using a “V” block. | + | |
- | - Long stock should be drilled with the excess to the left of the operator. If the stock rotates it will hit the drill press column, not the operator. | + | |
- | - Support the underside of the stock to be drilled with a backer board secured to the drill press table. DO NOT DRILL INTO THE DRILL PRESS’ TABLE, except | + | |
- | - Never start the machine without the table clear of everything except the stock you are drilling. | + | |
- | - Keep hands and fingers at least 3” from rotating drill bits. | + | |
- | - When drilling deep holes, frequently raise the drill bit from the hole and use a chip brush to remove cuttings and allow the cool bit to cool down. | + | |
- | - When you begin to break through the underside of the stock, ease up on the feed as to not tear the material from the underside. In addition breaking through too quickly may cause the stock to pulled up the drill bit and off the table | + | |
- | - If a drill bit binds, | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | - Never stop the rotation of the drill chuck, spindle, or uncontrolled stock rotation when jammed on the bit with your hands or fingers. | + | |
- | - Don’t touch the drill bit and shavings since they are hot immediately after drilling. | + | |
