Use and Care Manual

11
18. Thoroughly clean spindle, arbor and chuck
(Figure 12) with a soft rag and solvent, such as
mineral spirits.
Important: These three pieces must be free of
any rust protection, or lubricant. Any grease or
residue in these areas can cause the pieces to
separate, creating a safety hazard and
potential damage to the tool.
Figure 12
19. Lower the table out of the way of the spindle
area.
20. Slide arbor (HP12) up into spindle. Turn the
arbor as you push it, until the tang engages
the slot in the spindle.
21. Push chuck (HP11) onto arbor.
22. Twist the chuck to completely retract the chuck
jaws if they are exposed.
23. Use a rubber mallet, or a steel hammer
against a block of wood, to sharply tap the
bottom of the chuck two or three times to seat
the chuck/arbor assembly. Note: Do not use a
steel faced hammer directly against the
chuck.
6.6 Chuck key and wrench storage
The chuck key can be stored in the clip on the
collar (see Figure 8).
The table locking wrench has a magnetic disc
attached, and can be stored on any metal surface.
Do not store in an area near the worktable, or
where the wrench could vibrate off into moving
parts.
7.0 Electrical connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
The JDP-17 drill press is rated at 115V power, and
comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit
with a grounded outlet that looks like the one
pictured in A, Figure 13.
Before connecting to power source, be sure the
switch is in off position.
It is recommended that the drill press be connected
to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with a circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse marked “D”. Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
7.1 Grounding instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
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 plugged into a
matching outlet 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
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. 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.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.
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.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less
than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure
13. 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. This adapter is not permitted
in Canada. 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.
