GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of shock. This tool is equipped
with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged
into a matching 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
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment 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. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect
the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can be
used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact
ungrounded receptacle. The adapter (FIGURE B) has a rigid
lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box. THE TEMPORARY ADAPTER SHOULD
BE USED ONLY UNTIL A PROPER GROUNDED OUTLET
CAN BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded. If you are not sure have a
certified electrician check the receptacle.
This drill press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain
or use in damp locations.
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.
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE 3-
PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPT THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The table below shows the correct
size to use according to cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with
a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and
the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped
on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will
damage the motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle
like the one illustrated in FIGURE A.
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical.
