If the outlet you are planning to use is the two-prong type, do not remove or alter the grounding prong in any
manner. Use an adapter and always connect the grounding plug to a known grounding source. It is
recommended that you have a qualified electrician replace the two-prong outlet with a properly grounded
three- prong outlet.
Extension Cords
Your tool has a three-prong plug, therefore you must use a three-prong extension cord. Only use rounded
jacket extension cords listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Improper use of extension cords may
cause inefficient operation of your tool which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to
allow sufficient current flow to the motor.
If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the
extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the
greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does not matter: Total length determines the minimum
AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is
required for your situation. Cord length is rated in feet. Harbor Freight Tools can supply UL listed and outdoor
rated cords in multiple AWG ratings if needed.

Assembly
Your Drill Press and Stand will require assembly. When assembling and operating your Drill Press, it will be
helpful to refer to each of the operational Figures as well as to the Parts List and Assembly Diagram on pages
12 through 16. Lay out all parts onto a clear section of floor or workbench prior to assembly.
Mounting Surface: Ideally, the base should be bolted down prior to the assembly of other components. The
mounting surface must be flat, level and capable of supporting the weight of the Drill combined with the
materials to be drilled. Mount the 34" Radial Bench Drill Press to the enclosed Stand.
Caution! Consider the weight of the components and take the necessary precautions when lifting. Assistance
will be required during assembly.
Stand
Step 1)
Attach one Leg (part #24C) to each side of a Side Bar (part #26C). Insert one Bolt
(part #23C) through each Leg (#24C) and through the Side Bar. Tighten the
Side Bar into place at each end with a Nut (part #22C). Repeat for the other two
Legs (#24C).
Step 2)
Attach one Side Panel (part #21C) to the top of the Legs (#24C) assembled in step 1.
Make certain that the holes line up with the holes in the Legs. Insert two (2) Bolts (part #23C)
through each Leg (#24C) and through the Side Panel (#21C) on both sides. Repeat for the
second set of Legs.
