ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER
SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE
WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE
TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER
SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The motor
of this machine is wired for 120 V single phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
a 3-prong grounding plug A to fit a grounded type
receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong (grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket or
extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C, it must be
attached to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your
electrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician before proceeding.
A
B
C
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well
as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is
close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure
still occurs, contact a qualified technician or our service department.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size
extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the number, the heavier the gauge.

CLEANING
The protective coating on the machine prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it
by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable
solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations).
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed
by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the machine's
painted surfaces, as many solvent-based products will
remove paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or
use regular applications of any after-market surface
protectant or rust inhibitor.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / SAFETY ZONE
THIS DRILL PRESS MODEL (1) 75-155, (2) 75-165 OR (3) 75-510 IS HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORKLIFT WITH STRAPS SHOULD BE USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE. TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO
THE MACHINE, ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE SHOULD HAVE A RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF THE
MACHINE.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only
on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support
the weight of the machine 136 lbs (1), 161 lbs (2) or 284
lbs (3) and the operator.
Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for
placement within your shop that will allow the operator
to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers)
or other tools or machinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators,
it is advisable to establish a safety zone around shop
machinery.
A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around
each machine can help avoid accidents that could
cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor.
It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint
(using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor
the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone.
Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever
a machine is running for everyone but the individual
operating the unit.
