POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate
electrical circuit for your tool. Your drill press is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 10
Amp circuit and use a 10 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if the power cord is worn,
cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an

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 MODIFY THE PLUG PROVI

DED. If it will not fit the 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 yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
CHECK with a qualified e

lectrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a
10 Amp time lag 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 nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will
damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. Use an extension cord heavy the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of po

wer, overheating and burning out of the motor. The table below shows the correct
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.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or
have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat an

This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows an
electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available,
an adapter (Fig.2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The
adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be conn
properly grounded receptacle box.

In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician
check the receptacle.
