EXTENSION CORDS
TOOL ASSEMBLY
Grounded tools require a three wire exten- sion cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For ex- ample, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
•If you are using an extension cord out- doors, be sure it is marked with the suffix
•Be sure your extension cord is prop- erly wired and in good electrical 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.

DANGER! To reduce the risk of injury, always keep hands, rags, clothing, etc. away from moving parts and chips. Do not try to remove chips while the cutter is rotating. Chips are sharp and can pull objects into moving parts.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories or making adjustments. Use only specifically recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.
Attaching Feed Handles and Grips
Fig. 1
1.Assemble the feed handles and grips to the feed handle hub. Tighten securely.
2.To mount the feed handle to the opposite side, remove the wing screw assembly that secures the hub/pinion assembly. Pull out the hub/pinion assembly and insert on the other side of the housing. Replace and tighten the wing screw assembly.
Mounting the Drill on Slide
Fig. 2
To provide maximum holding power, mount the motor with the spindle closest to the stand. All drills (except
1.Select the mounting area that best suits your application.
2.Line up the mounting holes.
3.Slip the lock washers over the mounting screw and insert them through the back of the slide and into the motor mounting pad. Tighten securely.
Adjusting the Gib Assembly
Fig. 3
To adjust the gib, loosen or tighten the gib adjustment set screws on the side of the support housing accordingly with the 3/32" hex key provided. Tightening the set screws increases friction on the slide. The gib should be set tight enough to support the weight of the drill in any position. All adjusting screws should be set to provide smooth and even travel over the entire length of slide move- ment.
The set screws contain a nylon patch that prevents them from moving freely. Additional adjustment of the gib may be required from time to time with extended use of the tool.
Connecting the Power Cord Control Panel Socket
Fig. 4
Insert the drill plug into the control panel socket and screw it on tightly. Plug the drill press into the nearest power source. This drill press is rated for 120 volts AC, 60 Hz.
