(Note: Your chuck and arbor may have come
preassembled. If so, you only need to clean
the exposed arbor at this time.)
Figure 9
17. Slide arbor up into spindle.
18. Firmly push chuck by hand onto taper of arbor.
19. Rotate chuck until the jaws are completely
retracted into the chuck (to prevent damage to
jaws). Use two or three sharp taps from a
rubber mallet, or a hammer and a block of
wood, against bottom of chuck to seat chuck
securely onto arbor.
Do not use a steel hammer
directly against chuck, as this may damage
chuck.

Electrical connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
The PM2800B drill press is rated at 115/230V
power, and is pre-wired for 115 volt. The drill press
comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit
with a grounded outlet
that looks like the one
pictured in
A
, Figure 12.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in
off
position.
It is recommended that the drill press, when
operated on
115 volt power
, be connected to a
dedicated 30 amp circuit with a 30 amp circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”. When
operated on
230 volt power
, it is recommended
that the drill press be connected to a dedicated 15
amp circuit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time-
delay fuse marked “D”.
Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.

Grounding instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
