Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor 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 connector.

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 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 plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the machine’s plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your drill press is ready to operate at 115-volt operation. This drill press, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 11. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 11.

A temporary adapter, similar to the one in Figure 12, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

230 Volt Operation

If 230V, single phase operation is desired, the following instructions must be performed:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.The drill press motor has four leads that are factory connected for 115V operation. For 230V operation, re-connect the leads as shown in the diagrams on pages 22 and 23.

3.The 115V attachment plug supplied with the drill press must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation, similar to the plug illustrated in Figure 13. Contact your local Authorized Powermatic Service Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug.
