Electrical Instructions

Caution: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

Note: The JDP-20VS-1 is rated at 115/230V and comes pre-wired at 230V. The JDP-20VS-3 is rated at 230V and cannot be changed.

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 accordancewith 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-groundingconductor 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 replacementof 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. Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptaclesthat accept the tool'splug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

Important Information

The JDP-20VS-1comes pre-wired from the factory at 230V. It is strongly recommended that this drill press be operated at 230V. If, however, you decide to change the operating voltage to 115V, please be advised that the drill press may be hard to start when set at a higher R.P.M. When operating the drill

press, lower the R.P.M. to the lowest setting before turning the machine off. This will make starting the

machine easier.

115 Volt Operation

Note: The JDP-20VS-1 is rated at 115/230V and comes pre-wired at 230V. The JDP-20VS-3 is rated at 230V only and cannot be changed.

If 115V, single-phase operation is desired; the following instructions must be followed:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.This drill press is supplied with four motor leads that are connected for 230V operation, as shown in Figure D. Reconnect these four motor leads for 115V operation, as shown in Figure C.

3.If the drill press is to be fitted with a plug instead of hard-wired, it should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration as illustrated by the grounded outlet box in Figure E. No adapter is available or should be used with a 230V plug.

Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make certain the receptacle in question is properly

grounded. Ifyou are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the receptacle.
