GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

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 accordance with 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-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insu- lation having an outer surface that is green 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 ter- minal.

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 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

operation. This drill press, when wired for 110-120 volts,	PRONGS
is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug
that looks like the one shown in Fig. 13. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. 14, may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown in
Fig. 14 if a properly grounded outlet is not avail-able. The	GROUNDING BLADE
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly	IS LONGEST OF THE 3 BLADES		HOLES

operation.
The conversion of your drill press for 220-240 volt operation
must be done by qualified electrical personnel. Should you
desire to have your drill press converted for 220-240 volt
operation take your drill press to your local Authorized Delta
Service Center. You can phone 800-438-2486 for the location
of the nearest Authorized Service Center.

When converted for 220-240 volt operation, your drill press is
intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one
illustrated in Fig. 14A. After conversion for 220-240 volts, the
drill press will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug	CURRENT-CARRYING PRONGS
illustrated in Fig. 14A.
Make sure the drill press is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or	230 VOLT
should be used when the drill press is converted for 220-240
volts. If the drill press must be reconnected for use on a dif-
ferent type of electrical circuit, the reconnection should be	GROUND PRONG
made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
