GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

INTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool

is equipped with an electric 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 MODIFYTHE PLUG PROVIDED. tfit wilt no[ fit [he
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a

qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yeltow

stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,

DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to

a live terminal.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding instructions,

or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

::}i

q

USE ONLY 3oWIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3opOLE

RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WOF_?,_CORD

IMMEDIATELY.

GU_DEUNES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heaw

enough to carry the current your product wil! draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting

in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows

the correct size to use according to cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier

gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your extension cord _s property wired and in

good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before

using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than #t2 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time tag fuse. Before connecting the motor

to the power line, make sure the switch is in the "OFF"

position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor nameplateo Running at a

lower voltage will damage the motor.

SAVE THESE NSTRUCT ONS

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a

receptacle iike the one illustrated in FIGURE A.
FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle

that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded

receptacle is not available, an adapter (F_GURE B) can.
be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact

ungrounded receptacle. The adapter (RGURE B) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a

permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded

receptacle box. The temporary adapter should be used

only until a properly grounded outle_ can be installed by a
qualified electrician . The Canadian E!ectrical Code

prohibits the use of adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in

question is property grounded. If you are not sure have a
codified electrician check the receptacle.

This drill press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rain or use in damp locations.
