7.0 Electrical connections
All electrical connections must
be done by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all local codes and ordinances. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.
The IDP-17 and IDP-22 Drill Presses are rated at
115/230V power, and are pre-wired for 115 volt. The
drill press comes with a plug designed for use on a
circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like the one
pictured in A, Figure 7-1.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the drill press be connected
to a dedicated 20 amp circuit with circuit breaker or
fuse. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
time delay fuse marked “D”. Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
7.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded. 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
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the tool –
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
The conductor with insulation 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 terminal.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
When operated at 115-volt, this tool is intended for
use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated in A, Figure 7-1. An adapter, shown
in B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. 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. Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code, C22.1.
Figure 7-1: grounding
When operated at 230-volt, this tool is intended for
use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated in D, Figure 7-1. The tool has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter is available or should be used with this tool.
If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different
type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and after
reconnection, the tool should comply with all local
codes and ordinances.
7.2 Voltage conversion
Conversion from 115V to 230V must be done by
a qualified electrician.
The Drill Press is prewired for 115 volt. To change
incoming leads for 230 volt operation:
1. Open motor junction box cover, and change
leads based on wiring diagram inside cover.
This diagram is also shown in Figure 7-2.
(NOTE: In case of discrepancy, diagram inside
junction box cover takes precedence.)
