may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Additional Safety Instructions

• Always use safety strap. Mounting can release. Electrical power
may fail or unit may accidentally disconnect.
• Always be sure that the drill press is plugged into the correct
voltage system. Place cord so that it cannot be pulled from the
receptacle accidentally. Check for correct line fuse.
• Before operating unit, make sure it is grounded correctly in
accordance with instructions under "Electrical Safety."
• Always use the correct gauge extension cord .
• Care should be taken to place the base on a flat surface. Do
not set magnet on objects such as bolt heads, screws, rivets, or
steel chips, since space between magnet and working surface
weakens the magnetic pull.
• Always place the unit on a surface that is clear of shavings,
chips or surface dirt to allow for optimum magnetic hold.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FEED HANDLE TO LIFT UNIT.
CAUTION: After switching power to the magnet off, the magnetic
base will continue to adhere to the surface for 5 seconds before
releasing. A light blow with the hand will release the base.
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 (CCA).
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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with sawdust from treated lumber. Do
not allow dust to get into your mouth, eyes or lay on the skin. Wear
protective clothing whenever possible.
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

Motor
Your D WALT tool is powered by a D

power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
Volts 60 Hz or "AC only" means your tool must be operated only with
alternating current and never with direct current.
Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and
overheating. All D WALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not

operate, check the power supply. If the motor does not operate when
the green button is pushed, check the voltage at the power supply.
Operation
The magnet in this unit is designed for use on 3/8"(10mm) thick
steel—with zero air gap. Air gap may be defined as the distance
