ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
WARNING
This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain
or use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows
a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has
a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be
used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact
grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid
lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box.
WARNING
In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

BASE – Supports drill press. For additional stability, holes are
provided in the base to bolt drill press to the floor. (See
"ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL PRESSES".)
BACKUP MATERIAL – A piece of scrap wood placed
between the workpiece and table. The backup board prevents
wood in the workpiece from splintering when the drill passes
through the backside of the workpiece. It also prevents
drilling into the table top.
PULLEY COVER – Covers the pulleys and belt during
operation of the drill press.
BELT TENSION – Refer to the "Assembly" Section,
"Installing and Tensioning Belt."
BELT TENSION LOCK KNOBS – Tightening the knobs locks
the motor bracket support, maintaining correct belt distance
and tension.
BEVEL SCALE – Shows degree of table tilt for bevel
operations. The scale is mounted on the side of the arm.
CHUCK – Holds a drill bit or other recommended accessory
to perform desired operations.
CHUCK KEY – A self-ejecting chuck key which will pop out
of the chuck when you let go of it. This action is designed to
help prevent throwing of the chuck key from the chuck when
the power is turned "ON." Do not use any other key as a
substitute; order a new one if damaged or lost.
COLUMN ASSEMBLY – Connects the head, table, and
base on a one piece tube for easy alignment and movement.
Mounts to base.
