Horizontal Boring
Safety
Help protect yourself from injury by learning and following all power
tool safety rules. NEVER operate any power tool until you have read the
safety instructions that accompany that tool.
Here are the safety rules to follow whenever you operate the Horizontal Boring Machine function of the Shopsmith MARK V:
- Read the Owner's Manual
- ALWAYS remove the Chuck Key from the Chuck before turning on the machine
- Wear appropriate eye and ear protection at all times
- Keep your hands, fingers and other parts of your body at least 3" away from moving Bits and always out of the Red "safety zone"
- Roll up long sleeves above your elbows, remove all jewelry and tuck long hair under a cap
- NEVER wear gloves when working with machinery
- Position the Worktable so your stock is properly supported at all times
- Clamp stock to the Worktable whenever possible
- Never use dull, damaged or bent Drill Bits
- Always use proper speed setting (see chart)
- Never try to stop the machine by grabbing the Drill Chuck or a Bit, even when the power is turned off
- Never use a bit with a tapered square shank in the MARK V Drill Chuck
- Turn off and unplug the MARK V before changing modes of operation or performing any maintenance procedures
