Two hazards using a pillar drill?

A pillar drill is another name for a drill press. The biggest hazards are objects getting wrapped around the chuck, and debris or projectiles being thrown. So long hair, ties, and loose clothing should be avoided, eye protection should be worn, and your work should be securely clamped to the work area.

Other hazards could include drilling oneself, being injured inside the gearbox, or starting a fire. So you should keep all body parts from around the chuck and pulleys while the drill is in operation. You should be careful to not let your work get overly hot, not operate the press in the presence of flammable vapors, and not overload the outlets.
