before operating. See sect.9.3.
6.0 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 Mill-Drill is rated at 115/230V power, and is prewired for 115 volt. The machine is provided with a
plug designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 6-
1.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the Mill-Drill, when operated
on 115V, be connected to a dedicated 20 amp circuit
with circuit breaker or fuse. When operated on 230V power, connect it to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with
circuit breaker or fuse. If connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use time delay fuse marked “D”.
NOTE: Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.
6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. 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.
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. Failure to comply may cause ser ious
or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure
6-1. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box. Note: In Canada, the
use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150
- 250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure
6-1. The tool is intended to be used with a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in D. Make
sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the tool
must be reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor 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

6.2 Voltage conversion
To convert machine to 230 volt operation:
1. Change incoming power leads according to
wiring diagram on inside cover of motor junction
box.
2. Replace plug on end of motor cord with a
UL/CSA listed plug rated for 230V; or hardwire
the machine.
6.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, be
sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 2 shows recommended size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
4. Tap drawbar head with rubber mallet to
dislodge arbor.
Do not loosen drawbar
more than 3 or 4 turns before hitting with
rubber mallet. Damage to drawbar threads
may occur.
5. Grasp arbor with one hand while loosening
drawbar with the other. Continue to loosen
drawbar until arbor can be withdrawn from
spindle. Wipe out spindle with clean, dry rag.
6. Wipe new arbor with clean, dry rag and place
arbor into spindle. Thread drawbar into arbor
from above. Tighten drawbar with wrench. Do
not overtighten.
If the Mill-Drill becomes overloaded and motor shuts
off, wait for machine to cool down, then push re-set
button on motor junction box. Restart machine. If
overloading happens frequently, refer to sect. 10.0, Troubleshooting.

9.0 User-maintenance
Always disconnect power to
machine before performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may result in serious personal
injury.
9.1 General maintenance
1. After each use, wipe down machine with a clean
rag and apply light coat of oil to exposed metal
surfaces.
2. Periodically check for backlash, or “play”, in
table and head movements. If handles or
handwheels are turned an appreciable amount
before they seem to engage, or there is a
looseness in table or head movements, make
adjustments using gib screws. See sect. 7.4.
3. Keep table and ways clean and free of debris.
Use a brush to clear shavings, not bare hands.
4. Make sure machine remains properly
lubricated. See sect. 9.3.
9.2 Additional servicing
Any additional servicing should be performed by
authorized service personnel.
8.5 Basic milling procedure
The Mill-Drill is provided with a face mill cutter with
tungsten carbide inserts. Install cutter onto mill
arbor, and secure with socket cap screw and washer
