This drill press is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong plug. If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter can be used as long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate. See Figure 1 and the steps below to use an AC grounding adapter: 1.Remove the cover plate mounting screw . 2.Insert the AC grounding adapter into the bottom receptacle so the green grounding lug fits over the screw hole. 3.Install the mounting screw back into the cover plate securely affixing the adapter to the receptacle. Never modify the electrical adapter by cutting off the grounding prong so it will fit into unapproved, un-grounded electrical recep- tacles. Failure to follow this procedure could result in burns, severe electri- cal shock, or even death. If you have questions about connecting the drill press, contact a certified electrician to install the proper circuitr y needed for this and other power tools you use. Repair or replace any damaged electrical wiring IMMEDIA TEL Y. EXTENSION CORD USAGE Extension cords are not recommended for use with this drill press. Extension cords, if used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a 3-hole recep- tacle on the other . DO NOT use grounding adapters with an extension cord. Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 A.W .G. wiring. Extension cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a voltage drop over the extra distance causing the drill motor to run slower with the possibility of causing damage to the motor . Using extension cords with smaller than the recommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melt- ing, and/or causing fires. See table, “Extension Cord Specifications”, on page 33. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL ST AR TING. Be sure switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owners manual for recom- mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause cause risk of injur y. NEVER ST AND ON TOOL. Serious injur y could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and per form its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other con- ditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. DIRECTION OF FEED. Only feed work into a blade or cutter against the direc- tion of rotation of the blade or cutter . GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS NEVER use appliances or equipment that have motors with automatic reset overload protective devices. These protective devices can cause unexpected startups that can cause property damage, severe per- sonal injur y, or death. The electrical power source for this drill press MUSTbe grounded in order to prevent possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or break down. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reducing the risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A service. Multiple power tools should never be used on the same circuit at the same time. Failure to properly ground this drill press could result in burns, severe electrical shock, and even death. This is especially true if used in damp or wet locations or near metallic plumbing. The reaction from electrical shock could possibly cause your hands to m ake contact with the cutting tools. Not all outlets are properly grounded, regardless of the type of receptacle they have. If you are not sure if the receptacle is properly grounded or not, consult a certified electrician. The AC receptacle must be protected by a dual element time delay or a circuit breaker . 5 UNGROUNDED AC RECEPTACLE GROUNDED RECEPTACLE GROUNDING ADAPTER DRILL PRESS POWER CORD DRILL PRESS POWER CORD COVERPLATE MOUNTING SCREW FIGURE 1.
