Positioning Table And Workpiece - Craftsman 113.213170 Owner's Manual

POSITIONING TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Lock the table to the column in a position so that the
tip of the drill is just a little above the top of the work-
piece.
Always place a piece of BACK-UP MATERIAL (wood,
plywood...) on the table underneath the workpiece.
This will prevent "splintering" or making a heavy burr
on the underside of the workpiece as the drill breaks
through. To keep the backup material from spinning
out of control, it must contact the left side of the column.
as illustrated.
WARNING: TO PREVENTTHE WORKPIECE OR THE
BACKUP MATERIAL FROM BEING TORN FROM
YOUR HAND WHILE DRILLING, POSITION THEM
AGAINST THE LEFT SIDE OF THE COLUMN. IF THE
WORKPICE OR THE BACKUP MATERIAL ARE NOT
LONG ENOUGH TO REACH THE COLUMN, CLAMP
THEM TO THE TABLE. FAILURE TO DO THIS
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
