authorized service facility. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow 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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location
and keep it well away from the rotating blade.

[] iNSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERiODiCALLY and

replace if damaged.

[] GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-

prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable
distance from the power source, use an extension cord
heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the mo-
tor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to deter-
mine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.
Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Labora-
tories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit,
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by
the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

_ WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the

working area. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while

you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so
can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Check extension cords before each

use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool
with a damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious

injury.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 3,000 rpm.
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as
important as the motor's horsepower rating. A line intend-
ed only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool mo-
tor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be
too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one
power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 conduc-
tor 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc-

tor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor

with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow 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
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin

like the one shown.

ELECTRICAL CON NECTtON

This tool is powered by a precision-built electric motor.
It should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only {normal household current). Do
not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If the product does not operate when plugged
into an outlet, double check the power supply.

MOUNTINGTHE DRILLPRESS

See Figure 14.

If the drill press is to be used in a permanent location,

secure it to a workbench or other stable surface.

If the drill press is to be used as a portable tool, fasten

it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be

clamped to a workbench or other stable surface. The

mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid

tipping while drill press is in use. Any good grade plywood

or chipboard with a 3/4 in. thickness is recommended.

[] Mark holes on surface where drill press is to be

mounted using holes in drill press base as a template

for hole pattern.

[] Drill holes through mounting surface.

[] Place drill press on mounting surface, aligning holes in

the base with holes drilled in the mounting surface.

[] Insert bolts and flat washers then tighten securely with

flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts.

If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough

to go through holes in drill press base and material the

drill press is being mounted to. If machine bolts are
used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through
holes in drill press, the material being mounted to, and

the lock washers and hex nuts.

NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install

the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of
the workbench.

Once the drill press is securely mounted on a sturdy

surface, perform the following:

[] Check for vibration when the motor is switched ON.

[] Adjust and retighten the mounting hardware as

necessary.

[] Check the table assembly to assure smooth movement

up and down the column.

[] Check to assure that the spindle shaft moves smoothly.

DRILLING TIPS

If the hole is large, it's a good idea to drill a smaller pilot
hole before drilling the final one. Your hole will be more
accurately positioned, rounder, and the bits will last
longer.

If the hole is deeper than it is wide, back off occasionally
to clear the chips. When drilling metal also use a coolant.

As you increase the drill size, you may need to reduce the
spindle speed. See speed chart on page 22.

If drilling a through hole, place a scrap piece of wood
between the table and the workpiece. This step will mean
a neater exit hole and protect the table surface.

USING THE LASER

With the laser turned on, the red "X" indicates the exact
spot where the drill bit will enter the workpiece.

If this is not the desired location, do not begin drilling until
the workpiece has been moved to the proper position as
indicated by the "X" on the workpiece.

LIMITING THE DRILLING DEPTH

See Figure 21.

To adjust the drilling depth when you need to drill a
number of holes to exactly the same depth:
[] Loosen the lock knob.

[] Rotate depth gauge to the desired setting.
[] Retighten the lock knob securely.

SETTING THE DRILLING DEPTH USING THE
DIGITAL DEPTH DISPLAY

See Figure 22.
