In all cases, make certain that the
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you
are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s
plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows
the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

ASSEMBLY TIME ESTIMATE
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. If you
do not fasten your drill press in a permanent manner,
you must fasten the drill press to a plywood mounting
board to prevent the drill press from tipping over
during normal use.
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Use a
good grade of plywood with a minimum 3/4" (19 mm)
thickness. Do not make the mounting board from
particle board since particle board breaks easily.
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Make
sure that the plywood extends a minimum of 3" (7.6
cm) on all four sides of the base as shown in Fig. 3.
NOTE:
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. You must
secure the plywood base to the floor or supporting
surface if the drill press has any tendency to vibrate,
slide, or walk during normal operation.
ASSEMBLY
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs.
