GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
iN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is
properiy installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it wili not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipirient grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation {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
you do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
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 WORLI CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one hea'/y
enough to carry the current your product wili draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord fs properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF”
position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor namepiate. Running at a
lower voltage wiil damage the motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle fike the one illustrated in FIGURE A.
FIGURE A shows a 3-prong eiectricai plug and receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can
be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contaci
ungrounded receptacle. The adapter (FIGURE B) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box. The temporaiy adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician . The Canadian Eiectricai Code
prohibits the use of adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in
question is properiy grounded, if you are not sure have a
certified electrician check the receptacle.
This drill press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rain or use in damp iocations.
