WARNING
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
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-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate 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 110V-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 ADAPTER(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 deliver ample voltage to the drill press
motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
ON/OFF SWITCH WITH REMOVABLE SAFETY KEY
The On/Off switch (A) Fig.3 comes with a removable safety key (B). When the
safety key is removed from the switch and placed in a safe location,
unauthorized persons or children can’t turn the switch to the On position. It is
recommended to always remove the safety key from the switch whenever the
Drill Press is not in use.
To turn the Drill Press On, lift the switch (A) Fig.3. To turn the Drill Press Off
press down on the switch.
