GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Impro”.erconnectiont)of equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to pro­tect operator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not under­ stood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated at 300V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (See Figure 2) for your protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding type receptacle as shown in Figure 2.

Do not remove or alterg rounding prongin any manner. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown , groundin g provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fin­minals of plug when installing or remov­ing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching out­ let that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and or dinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper out­ let installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by an autho­ rized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properl y grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in a c cordance with National Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
  WARNING: This work should be performed by a qualified electrician.
A tempo rary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter ( See Figure 3) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly grounded.Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a prop-erly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means must be tested by a qualified electrician. EXTENSION CORDS

1. The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage and loss of power.
2. Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
3. Use the table to determine the mini-mum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
4. Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
5. If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, replace it immediately.

EXTENSION CORD LENGTH (120 VOLTS)

NOTE: Using extension cords over 150 ft. long is not recommended.
EXTENSION CORD LENGTH (240 VOLTS)

NOTE: Using extension cords over 300 ft. long is not recommended.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 4.
WARNING: All electrical connections must be performed by a qualired electrician.
 WARNING: Make sure tool is off and disconnected from power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnected or any time wiring is inspected.

1. The motor should be wired for 120 volts and clockwise rotation as viewed from shaft end of motor.
2. A label on the motor describes the possible wiring configurations. There are many different possible combina-tions, so only the diagram provided with the motor should be used.
3. The motor cord must be secured to protect the wiring connections from possible strain.
4. The power supply to motor is con-trolled by a push button switch. Power lines are connected to the quick connect terminals of the switch.
5. The green ground line must remain securely fastened to the motor ground terminal to provide proper grounding.
6. To operate drill press at 240 volts, rewire motor as shown in Figure 4 and replace line cord plug with a 240 volt, 15A, 3-prong plug. If motor label has a different wiring configuration, use the motor label diagram to rewire motor.
