Electrical – Earth connection on this single phase AC motor

groundinginduction motor

I bought a drill press recently that comes equipped with a 0.5HP single phase AC motor. I have wired it up as per the instructions that came pasted on the motor but I do not see a terminal for earth on it. Do I simply connect the earth wire to one of the screws that hold the motor frame?

This is what the instruction label looks like:

This is what the wiring terminals look like:

I wanted to read a little better what's under the A terminal and I temporarily disconnected those leads:
