Grounding
•
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. This drill press
is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
•
DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
•
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs
Tools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
(See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system
in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and
must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration.
Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two-Prong Plugs
Tools marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system
which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration.
