ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. Your drill press is wired at the factory for 115V operation. Connect to a 115V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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 current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding 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 PROVIDED. 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 green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of 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 person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

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.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 Amp time delay 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.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Figure A showing a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Figure B) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to

a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter (Figure B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded

receptacle box. THE TEMPORARY ADAPTER SHOULD BE USED ONLY UNTIL A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CAN INSTALL A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.

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

WARNING

This Drill Press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,

be sure to use one 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 cause overheating. 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.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good 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.
