Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical 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.

Always switch off the drill press before unplugging it to avoid accidental starting when re-
plugging the tool into a power source.

Allow the motor to come up to full speed before drilling to avoid binding or stalling.
