ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Check that the power supply and plug used is in accordance with your drill press. Have a look at the rating plate of the
motor or the rating on the drill press. Any changes should always be carried out by a qualified electrician.
This machine must be earthed.
If not properly earthed this machine can cause an electrical shock. Be sure that the power supply outlet is earthed. If
there is any doubt, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
Avoid contact with the terminals on the plug when installing (removing) the plug to (from) the power supply
outlet. Contact will cause a severe electrical shock.
USING AN EXTENSION LEAD
The use of any extension lead will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating
and motor burn-out, ask advice from a qualified electrician to determine the minimum wire size of the extension lead.
The extension lead should be equipped with an earthed type plug that fits the power supply outlet at one end, and with
an earthed type socket that fits the plug of this machine at the other end.
