Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only
3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground-
ing type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug. FIgure 1.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi-
ately.
-4- G4008/G4009 Drill Press
110V Operation
The G4008/G4009 Drill Press is supplied with a
U.S made 110V/220V motor. Under normal use,
the motor draws approximately 9 amps @ 110V.
We recommend using a 15 amp circuit breaker or
a 15 amp slow blow fuse for 110V operation. This
should be satisfactory for normal use, while pre-
venting motor damage from high heat caused by
overload. If frequent circuit failures occur when
using the drill press, contact our service depart-
ment or your local electrical contractor.
220V: Contact the service department for further
instruction on wiring for 220V.
Grounding
CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-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.
