1.
Drill two 3/8" diameter holes (C) Fig. 12B, correspon-
ding to the mounting holes (A) Fig. 12A, of the drill press base
in a 21" by 28" minimum size plywood board (D) Fig. 12B.
2.
Fasten the drill press base to the mounting board
using the carriage bolts, nuts, and washers (E) Fig. 12B, fur-
nished with your drill press. The carriage bolt heads must be
countersunk such that the bolt heads are flush with the bot-
tom surface of the mounting board in order to guarantee
proper stability.
3.
When the drill press is mounted to the supporting
board, the board must extend a minimum of 3" beyond
each edge of the drill press base, as shown in Fig. 12C.
4.
The plywood base must be secured to the floor or
supporting surface if there is any tendency of the drill press to
vibrate, slide or walk during normal operation.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS AND
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your drill press is designed to use a 1720 RPM motor. It is
wired at the factory for 110-120 Volts, 60 Hz alternating cur-
rent. Never use a motor that runs faster than 1720 RPM.
power connections
A separate grounded electrical circuit should be used for your
drill press. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and
should be protected with a 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
Before connecting the drill press to the power line, make sure
the switch is in the “OFF” position.
If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately by a certified electrician to avoid elec-
trical shock or fire hazard.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Fig. 12D, shows the correct gage to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord.
