You can have your drill press converted to 230 volt
operation.
A qualified electrician must perform this conversion. Should
you desire to have your drill press converted for 230 volt
operation, take your drill press to your local Authorized
Delta Service Center. You can call 800-223-7278 for the
location of the nearest Authorized Service Center.
When converted for 230 volt operation, your drill press is
intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one
illustrated in Fig. C. After conversion to 230 volts, the drill
press will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. C.
Make sure the drill press is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available
or should be used when the drill press is converted for 230
volts. If the drill press must be reconnected for use on a different type of electrical circuit, the re-connection should be made
by qualified service personnel; and after re-connection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than
150 volts:
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A
,
the machine
will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. A
.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a
matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must
be held in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that
accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
