ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING: YOUR MINI MILLING/DRILLING MACHINE MUST BE
CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP. MINIMUM BRANCH CIRCUIT.
GROUNDING
This Mini Milling/Drilling Machine must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
Mini Milling/Drilling Machine is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR MINI
MILLING/DRILLING MACHINE, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE
PLUG GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet
is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
IF
NOT
PROPERLY
MILLING/DRILLING MACHINE CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID
SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED
IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
120V OPERATION
Your Mini Milling/Drilling Machine comes wired for 120V operation. The
plug and the required wall outlet are illustrated in Fig.1.

EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING! IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE AN EXTENSION
CORD, BUT IF IT IS NECESSARY, READ THE FOLLOWING.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Depend-
ing on the length of extension cord needed, use the table (Fig.2) to
determine the minimum wire gauge (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge).
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool's plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
thickness must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample
voltage to the Mini Milling/Drilling Machine motor. The smaller the
gauge of the extension cord, the thicker it will be in diameter. Refer to
Fig.2 for wire length and size.
Starting and Stopping the Mini Milling/Drilling Machine
This Mini Milling/Drilling Machine comes with a front and side control
panel as shown in Fig.3. Plug the power cord in an appropriate 120V
wall outlet, the power indicator light (A) Fig.3 will light up green. This
indicates the machine has power.
To start the Mini Milling/Drilling Machine, turn the On/Variable Speed
dial (B) clockwise, keep turning the dial to set the desired spindle
speed.
To stop the Mini Milling/Drilling Machine, turn the On/Variable Speed
dial (B) counterclockwise until the spindle comes to a stop.
This Mini Milling/Drilling Machine comes with an Emergency Stop But-
ton (C). To stop the Mini Milling/Drilling Machine push the Emergency

Stop Button (C). When the Emergency Stop Button (C) is used, the
On/Variable Speed dial (B) must be reset to the off position to allow the
machine to be turn on again.
Fault Indicator Light
This Mini Milling/Drilling Machine comes with a fault indicator light (D).
If a problem occurs and the machine is put under excessive load, the
fault indicator light (D) will light up. Stop machine and unplug machine,
then inspect unit. Reduce load on cutting tool and restart.
