Model G0784 (Mfd. since 03/15)
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 reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material. 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.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

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 electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to 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 specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
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 can
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
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
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.

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
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

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.

Lifting & Placing
get help from other people
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.
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 Floor
HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
To move and place drill:
1. Place shipping crate near final machine
mounting location.
2. Remove top portion of crate from the shipping
pallet, place lifting slings around headstock
(see Figure 8), and attach them securely to
forklift (or other power lifting equipment).

Joining Drill Chuck
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 drill chuck and arbor:
1.
clean drill
2.
3.
4.
5. Attempt to separate drill chuck and arbor byhand —if they separate, repeat Steps 3–4.
& Arbor
Use acetone or lacquer thinner to
chuck and arbor mating surfaces, especially
the bore.
Retract chuck jaws completely into chuck.
Insert small end of arbor into chuck.
Hold assembly by the arbor and tap chuck
onto a block of wood with medium force, as
illustrated below.
Power Connection
Electrocution or fire may
occur if machine is
ungrounded, incorrectly
connected to power, or
connected to an undersized circuit. Use an electrician or a qualified service
personnel to ensure a safe
power connection.
Before the machine can be connected to the
power supply, there must be an electrical circuit that meets the Circuit Requirements on
Page 10, and the correct plug must be installed
according to the instructions and wiring diagrams
provided by the plug manufacturer.
If the plug manufacturer did not include instructions, the wiring of a generic NEMA 6-15 plug is
illustrated in the Wiring section on Page 35.
To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring MUST be done by an electrician or qualified
service personnel.

Calculating Spindle Speed for Drilling
Using the Drill Bit Speed Chart
The chart shown in Figure 11 is intended as
a guide only. Always follow the manufacturer's
speed recommendations if provided with your
drill bits, cutters, or hole saws. Exceeding the
recommended speeds may be dangerous to the
operator.
The speeds shown here are intended to get you
started. The optimum speed will always depend
on various factors, including tool diameter, drilling
pressure, material hardness, material quality, and
desired finish.
Often, when drilling materials other than wood,
some type of lubrication is necessary.
Twist/Brad Point Drill BitsSoft WoodHard WoodPlasticBrassAluminumMild Steel
Larger bits turning at slower speeds tend
to grab the workpiece aggressively. This
can result in the operator's hand being
pulled into the bit or the workpiece being
thrown with great force. Always clamp the
workpiece to the table to prevent injuries.
The Model G0784 is capable of twelve different
spindle speed RPMs. Spindle speed is controlled
by the configuration of V-belts and pulleys located
inside the belt cover on top of the machine.
3. Open belt cover, then loosen two idler cap
screws (see Figure 13) that hold idler pulley
in place, so it can move freely.
2. Loosen motor lock lever shown in Figure
12, pull motor inward to relieve tension on
V-belts, then re-tighten lock lever.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious personal injur y.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check
• Make sure drill is disconnected from power
when not in use.
• Check for loose mounting bolts.
• Make sure drill is clean and lubricated.
• Check for worn or damaged wires.
• Check for any other unsafe condition.
• Check belts for tension and wear.
Protecting
Sawdust, wood chips, and metal chips left on the
machine will invite oxidation and a gummy residue
buildup around the moving parts. Use a brush and
shop vacuum to remove chips and debris from the
working surfaces of the mill. Never blow off the
mill with compressed air, as this will force metal
chips deep into the mechanisms and may cause
injury to yourself or bystanders.
Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast
iron surfaces of your mill and treat them with a
non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free
with regular applications of products like G96

Lubrication
V-Belts
For the quill, table, and column, an occasional
application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. For the quill and column racks, lubricate with
NLGI #2 grease every 90 days. Before applying
lubricant, clean off any dust or metal chips.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too
much lubrication will attract dirt and dust, which
could cause various parts of your machine to lose
their freedom of movement.

Oil Amount ......................................... Fill Oil Cup
Lubrication Frequency ...........8 Hrs. of Operation
Lift the oil cup cap (see Figure 32) to fill the cup
with oil. The oil will slowly drain into the downfeed
gears over time.
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Refer to
Figure 33 for proper belt tension. Belt deflection should be approximately
pressure. Replacement V-belts can be found in
the back of this manual in the part breakdowns.
Check pulleys to ensure that they are properly
aligned when installing V-belts.

the steps below.
To calibrate depth stop:
Spring Cover
Thumb Knob
Figure 34. Spring tension components.
4. Wearing gloves, pull spring cover (Figure
35) out enough so notches just clear roll pin.
HOLD SPRING COVER TIGHTLY during this
step, or force of spring will cause cover to
spin out of your hands.

Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-
nected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical components!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663.
