POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
YOUR DRILL PRESS MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V
WALL OUTLET, WITH A MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE
A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO
CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR
FIRE.
GROUNDING
Your drill press must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly
grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS DRILL PRESS CAN
CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP
LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS
WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
If this drill press should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This drill press is equipped with a cord having an equipment-ground-
ing conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING, DO NOT REMOVE OR
ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your drill press is ready to run for 120V
operation. This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR(S) FOR THEY ARE
NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.
NEVER USE IN CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. If you do not
have a choice, use the table in Fig.2 to determine the minimum
wire size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord
needed. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the
tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box,
the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to de-
liver ample voltage to the drill press motor. Refer to Fig.2 for
wire length and size.
