CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC

SHOCK.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce

the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insu-

lation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair

or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live ter-

minal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if

in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type

plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

110-120 VOLT OPERATION

As received, your drill press is ready-to-run for 110-120 volt

operation. This drill press, when wired for 110-120 volts,

is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug

that looks like the one shown in Fig. 13. A temporary adapter,

which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. 14, may be

used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown in

Fig. 14 if a properly grounded outlet is not avail-able. The

temporary adapter should

grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

THIS ADAPTER IS NOT APPLICABLE IN CANADA. The

green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the

adapter must be connected to a

permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box,

as shown in Fig. 14.

220-240 VOLT OPERATION

Your drill press may be converted for 220-240 volt

operation.

The conversion of your drill press for 220-240 volt operation

must be done by qualified electrical personnel. Should you

desire to have your drill press converted for 220-240 volt

operation take your drill press to your local Authorized Delta

Service Center. You can phone 800-438-2486 for the location

of the nearest Authorized Service Center.

When converted for 220-240 volt operation, your drill press is

intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one

illustrated in Fig. 14A. After conversion for 220-240 volts, the

drill press will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug

illustrated in Fig. 14A.

Make sure the drill press is connected to an outlet having the

same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or

should be used when the drill press is converted for 220-240

volts. If the drill press must be reconnected for use on a dif-

ferent type of electrical circuit, the reconnection should be

made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,

the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
