EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 18.
WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure unit is off and disconnected from
power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnected or
anytime wiring is inspected.
• The motor is wired for 115 volts and in a clockwise rotation as
viewed from shaft end of motor.
• The motor cord must be secured to protect the wiring connec-
tions from possible strain.
• The power supply to motor is controlled by a locking rocker
switch. Power lines are connected to the quick connect termi-
nals of the switch.
• The green ground line must remain securely fastened to the
motor ground terminal and drill press head to provide proper
grounding.

SPEED ADJUSTMENTS
Refer to Figures 14 and 20.
WARNING:
Be sure drill press is turned off and is disconnected
from power source before adjusting speeds.
• To change spindle speed, loosen motor lock knob (see Figure
14), and push the motor toward front of drill press. This will
loosen the belt and permit relocating the belt to the desired
pulley groove for the required spindle speed (See Figure 20,
page 9).
•
After belt has been repositioned, motor toward rear of
