Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong 
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept 
the tool's plug. 

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord 
immediately. 

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for 
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating 

less 

than 150

 volts: 

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an 
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in 

A, 

Figure 

13. An adapter, shown in 

B

 and 

C

, may be used to 

connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown 
in 

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. 

This adapter is not permitted 

in Canada.

 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.

7.2

  Extension cords 

The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to 
position equipment near the power source. If an 
extension cord becomes necessary, 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. Table 1 shows correct size to use 
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere 
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The 
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

  Table movement 

8.2.1  

Table raising and lowering 

Refer to Figure 14. 

Loosen column locking handle (A, Figure 14). Turn 
table elevating handle (B) to raise or lower table 
along column rack. Re-tighten locking handle (A) 
before attempting to drill.  

 

Figure 14 

8.2.2

  Table repositioning 

Refer to Figure 14. 

When drilling into a long workpiece, swing table out 
of the way and use drill press base as your table. 
Slots in the base can be used to mount work 
holding devices. 

1.  Loosen column locking handle (A). 

2.  Swing table around the column. If rack (C) 

tends to bind, you will need to nudge the top or 
bottom end of the rack around the column 
while swinging table. 

3.  Tighten column locking handle (A). 

8.2.3

  Table tilting 

Refer to Figure 15. 

1.  Turn nut (D) clockwise with 13mm wrench to 

extract the alignment pin (E). The alignment 
pin is tapered and will back out as the nut is 
turned.  

2.  Remove alignment pin. 

3.  Loosen hex cap screw (F), with provided 

24mm wrench, and tilt table to desired angle 
using the angle scale. 

4.  Tighten the hex cap screw (F).
