Grounding; 120 Volt - Craftsman 152.229010 Instruction Manual

THINS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHmLE mNUSE
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRmC
SHOCK.
mNTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTmON OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of Ueastresistance
for eUectric current and reduces the risk of eUectric
shock. This tooUis equipped with an eUectric cord that
has an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing pUug. The pUugMUST be pUugged into a matching
eUectdcaUreceptacle that is propedy installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL UocaU codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. ff it wHU not
fit the eUectdcaUreceptacUe, have the proper eUectdcaU
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 if repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary.
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 dual
voltage 120/240 volts, 60 hertz alternating current,
single phase motor, It is shipped wired for 120 volts
application, Never connect the green or ground 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 IMMED-
IATELY.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED MACHINES
INTENDED FOR USE ON A SUPPLY CIRCUIT HAVING
A NOMINAL RATING LESS THAN 150 VOLTS.
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 electrical recep-
tacle 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 tem-
porarily 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.
The motor supplied with your Drill Press is a dual volt-
age, 120/240 volt, single phase motor. If it is desired to
operate your drill press at 240 volts, it is necessary to
reconnect the motor leads in the motor junction box by
following the wiring diagram on the junction box cover.
MAKE CERTAIN the motor is disconnected from power
source before reconnecting motor leads.
