7.2 Voltage conversion
If 230V operation is desired, the following
instructions must be performed:
instructions must be performed:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. The drill press motor has four leads that are
factory connected for 115V operation. For
230V operation, reconnect the leads as shown
in diagram inside motor junction box cover.
Diagrams are also shown in section 14.0 of
this manual. (In case of discrepancy, diagram
inside junction box should take precedence.)

3. The 115V attachment plug supplied with the
drill press must be replaced with a UL/CSA
listed plug suitable for 230V operation, similar
to the plug illustrated in D, Figure 14. Contact
your local authorized Powermatic Service
Center or qualified electrician for proper
procedures to install the plug.

7.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment near the power source. If an
extension cord becomes necessary, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
