The five drill press safety guidelines.

Explanation of Solution

The drill press machine is used to make hole in the workpiece with the help of a rotating machine tool.

An efficient drilling operation can be ensured by taking some precautions before and during the drilling operations.

The five drill press safety guidelines are as follows:

  • During the drilling operation, the operator must use safety glasses.
  • After the use of drift key, it must be removed from the spindle.
  • One should not touch the spindle, drill, and chuck because they become hot during the operation.
  • One must ensure that the spindle is stopped completely before adjusting the machine tool or workpiece otherwise the drill may break.
  • One should clamp the workpiece before the operation otherwise it may break the tool or affect the size of hole in the workpiece.
