INSTALLATION
MOUNT DRILL PRESS
Refer to Figure 15.
WARNING:
The drill press must be mounted securely to a stand,
bench or floor to prevent tipping of the machine which could
cause severe personal injury.
• Drill press must be mounted to flat level surface. Use shims or
machine mounts if necessary.
• Be sure to bolt drill press to floor or bench securely to prevent
tipping and minimize vibration.
• Tighten all nuts and bolts that may have loosened during
shipment.

POWER SOURCE
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage an frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not with in the range
may cause overheating and motor burn out. Heavy loads require
that the voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage
specified.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment
should be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical
shock.

Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated up
to 150V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure 16) for your
protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown (Figure 16).

Figure 16 – 3-Prong Receptacle
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by
an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a
live terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance
with National Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
The work shoul d be performed by a qual i f i e d el e ctri c i a n.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see Figure
17) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is
properly grounded.

Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permit-
ted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the
side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent
electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a prop-
erly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
