SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Additional Safety Instructions For Drill Presses 1. ALWAYS OPERATE YOUR DRILL PRESS AT SPEEDS that are appropriate for the drill bit size and the material that you are drilling. 2. FEED THE DRILL BIT EVENLY INTO THE WORKPIECE. Back the bit out of deep holes and clear the chips with a brush after you have turned the machine off. 3. MAKE SURE THE DRILL BIT YOU ARE USING IS TIGHTENED PROPERLY. Use only round, hex or triangular shank drill bits. 4.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 110V Operation The Model G7945/46 is wired for 110V, single phase operation only. The 1⁄2 HP motor will safely draw 5 amps at 110V. If you operate this machine on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our service department. This equipment must be grounded.
