Extension Cords

Your tool has a three-prong plug, therefore you must use a three-prong extension cord. Only use rounded jacket extension cords listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does not matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is required for your situation. Cord length is rated in feet. Harbor Freight Tools can supply UL listed and outdoor rated cords in multiple AWG ratings if needed.

Maintenance

CLEANING: Regularly clean the work surface with dry brush or clean cloth. Keep machined parts of the press lightly greased. Always keep the motor and chuck clean. Prevent metal, wood, dust and debris from accumulating in this area. If jaws do not operate smoothly, have the chuck serviced by a qualified technician.

LUBRICATION: For average use, lubricate twice a year with #20-30 weight household oil. Lubricate more frequently with increased usage.

POWER CORD: Inspect the power cord periodically and, if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized technician.

REPLACEMENT PARTS: Replace belts at the first sign of slippage or fraying. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty.

STORAGE: Always remove and store drill bits.
