in the packing of these parts must be removed otherwise the chuck
may come loose during operation.
●
Place the chuck (Ref. No. 131) onto the spindle arbor (Ref. No.
134) while lowering the spindle by turning the feed handles (Ref.
No. 147) counterclockwise, until the slot appears on the quill.

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
Refer to Figure 2, 3 and 4.
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding
conductor 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 300 V and a 3-prong grounding type plug rated at 115 V 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.
