comes with a grounding pin. DO NOT remove
the pin if your outlet does not accept a ground
pin, see
Figure 5a. Have the outlet box
replaced by a qualified electrician or have an
appropriate adapter installed. Remember, an
adapter with a grounding wire does not guaran-
tee the machine will be grounded. A ground
source must always be verified in the electrical
circuit within the wall or conduit.
Using an extension cord with an undersized
gauge or one that is too long, generates heat in
the cord that may cause fire or circuit damage.
If you must use an extension cord, use the
guidelines below to determine the correct cord
length and gauge. The amp rating of the motor
is 9 amps and can be found on its nameplate.
•Use a cord rated for Standard Service (Grade S)
•Use a cord that is 16 gauge and 100 feet or
less only
•Use a cord with a ground wire and pin
•Use only undamaged cords

'' Oscillating Drill
Press can only be operated at 110 volts (see
Figure 5). The motor draws approximately 5
amps. Choose an outlet with a 10 amp circuit
breaker or fuse protection. Remember circuits
being used by other machines at the same time
add to the total electrical load being applied by
this machine. If this total amperage load
exceeds the amperage rating of the circuit
breaker or fuse, use a different circuit with a
higher amperage rating.
DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit
by only replacing the circuit breaker with a
breaker rated for a higher amperage. The break-
er and the complete circuit must be replaced by
a qualified electrician.
DISCONNECT power to machine before per-
forming any electrical or mechanical ser-
vice or maintenance. Seek assistance from
a qualified electrician if you do not under-
stand the wiring diagram in this manual.
Always follow the applicable electrical
codes and standards. Otherwise serious
personal injury or death may occur!
