3. Loosen nuts (M) first, then turn set screws (N)
as needed until insert is level with table
surface. Re-tighten nuts (M) up against table.

7.0 Electrical connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
The PM2800B drill press is rated at 115/230V
power, and is pre-wired for 115 volt. The drill press
comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit
with a grounded outlet that looks like the one
pictured in A, Figure 14.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the drill press, when
operated on 115 volt power, be connected to a
dedicated 20 amp circuit with a 20 amp circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”. When
operated on 230 volt power, it is recommended
that the drill press be connected to a dedicated 15
amp circuit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time-
delay fuse marked “D”. Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
7.1 Grounding instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
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.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green 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 the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.
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 worn
cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less
than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure
14. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted
in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and
the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.

3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure
14. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in D. Make sure the tool is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is available
or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be
reconnected for use on a different type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
