Electrical
115 Volt Operation
Referring to Figure 11:
As received from the factory, your drill press is
ready to run at 115-volt operation. This drill
press, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for
use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that
looks like the one illustrated in (A). A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter shown in
(B), may be used to connect this plug to a two-
pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending
from the adapter, must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
