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 DRILL PRESS MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V WALL

OUTLET, WITH A MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A

15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO

CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.

GROUNDING

Your drill press must be properly grounded. 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 GROUNDED, THIS DRILL PRESS 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.

If this drill press should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path

of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This

drill press is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor

and grounding plug. 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, DO NOT REMOVE OR

ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.

120V OPERATION

As received from the factory, your drill press is ready to run for 110V-120V

operation. This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and

a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.

WARNING: DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTER(S) FOR THEY ARE

NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES. NEVER

USE IN CANADA.

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. If you do not

have a choice, use the table in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire size

(A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire

extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole

receptacles which accept the tool's plug.

For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must

be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the drill press

motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.

ON/OFF SWITCH WITH REMOVABLE SAFETY KEY

The On/Off switch (A) Fig.3 comes with a removable safety key (B). When the

safety key is removed from the switch and placed in a safe location,

unauthorized persons or children can't turn the switch to the On position. It is

recommended to always remove the safety key from the switch whenever the

Drill Press is not in use.

To turn the Drill Press On, lift the switch (A) Fig.3. To turn the Drill Press Off

press down on the switch.
