THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION
OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that
has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
electrical receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not
fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
of the equip-
ment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with
or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding
conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
The motor supplied with your drill press is a 120 volt,
single-phase motor. Never connect the green wire to a
live terminal.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDI-
ATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE 1-1.
FIGURE 1-1 shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electri-
cal receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a
properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available,
an adapter as shown in FIGURE 1-2 can be used to
temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded
receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from
it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth
ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
THIS ADAPTER
IS PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
CAUTION:
In all cases, make certain the electrical
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are
not sure have a certified electrician check the electrical
receptacle.
This Drill Press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rain or use in damp locations.
