INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
•
Be sure to bolt drill press to bench securely to prevent tipping
and minimize vibration.
•
Tighten all nuts and bolts that may have loosened during
shipment.
POWER SOURCE
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage an frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn out. Heavy loads require that the
voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated up
to 150V and a 3-prong grounding type plug rated at 115V (See
Figure 2) for your protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown (Figure 2).
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by
an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and ordi-
nances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See Figure 3)
is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is
properly grounded.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permit-
ted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the
side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent
electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a prop-
erly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
•
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
•
If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

OPERATION
Refer to Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7.
WARNING:
Read and understand operating instructions and
parts manual before operating this machine.
CAUTION:
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety glasses complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool
operation.
THE LASER GUIDE
Your tool is equipped with a laser guide, a battery powered device
using Class IIIa laser beams. The laser beams will enable you to pre-
view the drill bit path on the workpiece to be drilled before you
begin your operation.
Laser Radiation: Avoid direct eye contact. A
Laser light is radiated when the laser guide is
turned on. Avoid direct eye contact. Always turn off the laser and
unplug the drill press from the power source before making any
adjustments.
•
A laser pointer is not a toy and should not come into hands of
children. Misuse of this appliance can lead to irreparable eye
injuries.
•
Any adjustments to increase the laser power is forbidden.
•
When using the laser pointer, do not point the laser beam
towards people and / or reflecting surfaces. Even a laser beam
of lower intensity may cause eye damage. Therefore, do not
look directly into the laser beam.
•
If the laser pointer is stored for more than three months with-
out use, please remove the batteries to avoid damage from
possibly leaking batteries.
•
The laser pointer includes no user serviceable components.
Never open the housing for repair or adjustments.
