Abstract
A drill press having a safety device for reducing the power to the motor when a drill bit becomes stuck, and a switch for temporarily overriding the safety device, when the latter is triggered by the drill bit becoming stuck, to temporarily increase the power to the motor for freeing the stuck drill bit. The switch has an actuating member, preferably a push-button, located at the end of the control lever whereby the operator can actuate the switch without letting go of the control lever. The front of the drill press preferably has a control panel with input and operating keys.
