Machine Description

The Model G0755 is a free-standing mill/drill that
strikes a great balance between being heavy-duty
and high-precision.

The spindle is equipped with precision P5 spindle
bearings and is driven by an oil-bath-lubricated
and gear-driven headstock. The spindle is fully
reversible and features both coarse and fine
downfeed controls. The six spindle speeds range
from 90–1970 RPM and are controlled by conve­nient gear-change levers.

The headstock tilts 90° left/right and moves in the
Z-axis along precision dovetailed ways—with both
manual and powered elevation control. The table
also features both manual and powered X-axis
control, but with a manually-controlled Y-axis. All
table movement is along scraped dovetail ways.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded

Model G0755 (Mfg. Since 1/13)

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid
accidental slips, which could cause loss of work­piece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material,
and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect safe
operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged
or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.

Additional Safety for Mill/Drills

UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS. Make sure you

understand the use and operation of all controls
before starting the mill/drill.

SAFETY ACCESSORIES. To reduce the risk of
injury from flying chips, always use a face shield in
addition to safety glasses when using the mill/drill.

CL E AN - U P. Metal chips can cut your hands. DO
NOT clear chips by hand or compressed air that
can force the chips farther into the machine. Use a
brush or vacuum, and never clear chips while the
spindle is turning.

SECURING TOOLING. Objects that are thrown
by the spinning action of the mill/drill can be
deadly missiles. Always firmly secure the cutting
tool before starting the machine. Always remove
the chuck key, drawbar wrench, and any tools
immediately after use.

CUTTING TOOL INSPECTION. Inspect cutting
tools for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each
use. Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting
tools immediately. Handle cutting tools with care.
Leading edges are very sharp and can cause
lacerations.

STOPPING SPINDLE. Serious injury may occur
if you try to stop the moving spindle by hand. DO
NOT stop the spindle using your hand or any other
object. Allow the spindle to stop on its own.

WORK HOLDING. A workpiece that moves unex­pectedly during operation can be ejected from
the machine, causing personal injury or property
damage. Before starting the machine, be certain
the workpiece is properly clamped to the table.
NEVER hold the workpiece by hand during opera­tion.

MACHINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE. Never
operate the mill/drill with damaged or worn parts
that can break apart during operation. Maintain
your mill/drill in proper working condition. Perform
routine inspections and maintenance promptly.
Put tools away after use.

MAINTENANCE/ADJUSTMENTS. To avoid pos­sible electrocution or physical injury, make sure
the mill is turned OFF, disconnected from power,
and all moving parts have come to a complete
stop before changing cutting tools or starting any
inspection, adjustment or maintenance procedure.

SPINDLE SPEEDS. For safe and good results,
select the spindle speed that is correct for the type
of work and material. Allow the spindle to reach
full speed before beginning a cut.

POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a local
power outage during operation, turn spindle switch
OFF to avoid a possible sudden start up once
power is restored.

Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre­cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.

-8-

No list of safety guidelines can be com­plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip­ment, or poor work results.

Model G0755 (Mfg. Since 1/13)

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrican or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the requirements in the following section.

This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and
meets the following requirements:

For your own safety and protection of

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man­ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul­tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require­ments:

Grounding Instructions

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit
Requirements for 220V”
has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground­ing prong. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances (see figure below).

No adapter should be used with the
required plug. If the plug does not fit the
available receptacle, or the machine must

coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work­piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main­tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Physical Environment

Lifting & Placing

get help from other people

HEAV Y LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,

and use a fork lift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.

Power lifting equipment, steel rods (refer to
Page 11), and at least two other people are
required to lift and place the mill.

4. Insert steel rods into holes in stand, as shown
in Figure 5.

Steel Rods

To move your machine into position:

1. Remove outside crating material from ship-

ping crate, but leave machine bolted to pallet
(for now).

2. Move machine next to its intended installation
location, then unbolt it from pallet.

3. To help balance machine during moving,
position table as close to column as possible,
and adjust headstock to its lowest position.

Figure 5. LIfting setup.

5. Evenly position forklift forks under steel rods

on each side of cabinet.

Note: Before next step, make sure all locks

are tight to avoid sudden shifts which could
unbalance machine.

6. With help of additional people to steady load,
slowly lift machine, remove pallet, then lower
machine into position.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect­ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec­ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.

Anchoring to Floor

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con­crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.

Anchoring to Concrete Floors

Assembly

Except for the handwheel handles, the mill/drill
was fully assembled at the factory.

Use a slotted screwdriver to attach the handwheel
handles, as shown in Figure 7.

Joining Drill Chuck

& Arbor

Lubricating Mill/Drill

An arbor is included for the drill chuck that
comes with this machine. The following procedure
describes how to install the arbor in the chuck.

After the arbor is installed in the drill chuck, it
is very difficult to separate the assembly. If you
would like to use a different chuck in the future,
we recommend obtaining a new arbor.

Important: DO NOT install the drill chuck and
arbor assembly into the spindle until AFTER the
test run.

To join the drill chuck and arbor:

1. Use acetone or lacquer thinner to clean drill

chuck and arbor mating surfaces, especially
the bore.

2. Retract chuck jaws completely into chuck.

3. Insert small end of arbor into chuck.

GEARBOX MUST

BE FILLED WITH OI L!

OIL MAY NOT BE

SHIPPED WITH MACHINE!

Refer to Lubrication Section

for Correct Oil Type.

The headstock oil reservoir must be properly filled
with oil before the mill/drill can be operated for the
first time.

Damage caused by running the mill/drill without
the proper amount of oil in the reservoir will not be
covered under warranty. Refer to the Lubrication
section, beginning on Page 30, for details on how
to check and add oil.

4. Hold assembly by the arbor and tap chuck
onto a block of wood with medium force, as
illustrated in Figure 8.
