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.
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

Additional Safety for Drill Presses
Serious injury or death can occur from getting clothing, jewelry, or long hair entangled in
rotating spindle or bit/cutting tool. Contact with rotating bit/cutting tool can result in severe cuts
or amputation of fingers. Flying metal chips can cause blindness or eye injuries. Broken bits/
cutting tools, unsecured workpieces, chuck keys, or other adjustment tools thrown from rotating
spindle can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these
hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
EYE/FACE/HAND PROTECTION. Flying chips
created by drilling can cause eye injuries or blindness. Always wear a face shield in addition to
safety glasses. Always keep hands and fingers
away from drill bit/cutting tool. Avoid awkward
hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause
hand to move into bit/cutting tool.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. DO NOT wear
loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry. Tie back long
hair. Keep all guards in place and secure. Always
allow spindle to stop on its own. DO NOT stop
spindle using your hand or any other object.
REMOVING ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Chuck key,
wrenches, and other tools left on machine can
become deadly projectiles when spindle is started.
Remove all loose items or tools used on spindle
immediately after use.
CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED. Using wrong spindle speed can cause bits/cutting tools to break
and strike operator or bystanders. Follow recommended speeds and feeds for each size/type of
bit/cutting tool and workpiece material.
SECURING BIT/CUTTING TOOL. Firmly secure
bit/cutting tool in chuck so it cannot fly out of
spindle during operation or startup.
DRILLING PREPARATION. To avoid loss of drilling
control or bit breakage, only drill into a flat surface
that is approximately perpendicular to bit. Clear
table of all objects before starting spindle. Never
start spindle with bit pressed against workpiece.
SECURING TABLE AND HEADSTOCK. To avoid
loss of control leading to accidental contact with
tool/bit, tighten all table and headstock locks
before operating drill press.
WORKPIECE CONTROL.An unsecured
workpiece may unexpectedly shift, spin out of control, or be thrown if bit/cutting tool "grabs" during
operation. Clamp workpiece to table or in tablemounted vise, or brace against column to prevent
rotation. NEVER hold workpiece by hand during
operation. NEVER start machine with bit/cutting
tool touching workpiece; allow spindle to gain full
speed before drilling.
INSPECTING BIT/CUTTING TOOL. Damaged
bits/cutting tools may break apart during operation
and hit operator or bystanders. Dull bits/cutting
tools increase cutting resistance and are more
likely to grab and spin/throw workpiece. Always
inspect bits/cutting tools for sharpness, chips, or
cracks before each use. Replace dull, chipped, or
cracked bits/cutting tools immediately.
Like all machines there is danger associated
with this machine. Accidents are frequently
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay
attention. Use this machine with respect
and caution to lessen the possibility of
operator injury. If normal safety precautions
are overlooked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur.
Model G0793 (Mfd. Since 02/15)
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.

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

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:

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
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.
HEAVY LIF T!
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 lift and place drill press:
1. Place shipping crate near final machine
mounting location.
2. Remove top portion of crate from shipping
pallet, secure ends of a properly rated lifting
sling around each side of bar placed through
lifting holes, and attach it securely to your
power lifting equipment (see Figure 6).

Initial Lubrication
GEARBOXES MUST
BE FILLED WITH OIL!
OIL MAY NOT BE
SHIPPED WITH MACHINE!
Refer to Lubrication Section
for Correct Oil Type.
To prevent spillage, this machine was shipped
from the factory without any oil or coolant in it.
The headstock and gearbox oil reservoirs must
be properly filled with oil before the drill press
can be operated for the first time. In addition, the
coolant pump reservoir must be filled properly
before operation. Refer to the Lubrication section, beginning on Page 33, for details on how to
check and add oil or coolant.
Damage caused by running drill press without oil in reservoirs is not covered under
warranty.

Power Connection
Before the machine can be connected to the
power source, an electrical circuit and connection device must be prepared per the POWER SUPPLY section in this manual; and all previous setup instructions in this manual must be
complete to ensure that the machine has been
assembled and installed properly.
Note About Extension Cords: Using an incor-
rectly sized extension cord may decrease the life
of electrical components on your machine. If you
must use an extension cord, refer to Extension Cords on Page 11 for more information.
To connect power cord to drillpress:
1. Press EMERGENCY stop button on control
panel, turn master power switch OFF, then
remove electrical panel cover, as shown in
Figure 9.
2. Thread power cord through strain relief shown in Figure 9.

3. Connect ground wire to terminal on ground-
ing plate. Then connect incoming hot wires to
L1, L2, and L3 terminals (see Figure 10).
Note About Phase Converters: If using a
phase converter to supply power, only connect the manufactured leg or "wild wire" to the
"L2" terminal. The L2 line can handle power
fluctuations because it bypasses sensitive
electrical components and is wired directly to
the motor.

Positioning Table
The table for this drill press moves vertically and
rotates 360 degrees around the column to accommodate larger workpieces.
Raising/Lowering Table
1. Remove all objects from table surface.
2. Loosen lock handles shown in Figure 21.
3. Adjust table height by rotating height adjust-ment crank (see Figure 21).
Spindle Speed
Using the correct spindle speed is important for
safe and satisfactory results, as well as maximizing tool life.
To set the spindle speed for your operation, you
will need to: 1) Determine the best spindle speed
for the operation, and 2) configure the spindle
speed levers to produce the required spindle
speed.
Determining Spindle Speed
Many variables affect the optimum spindle speed
to use for any given operation, but the two most
important are the recommended cutting speed
for the workpiece material and the diameter of
the cutting tool, as noted in the formula shown in
Figure 22.

Figure 22. Spindle speed formula for mill/drills.
Cutting speed, typically defined in feet per minute
(FPM), is the speed at which the edge of a tool
moves across the material surface.
A recommended cutting speed is an ideal speed
for cutting a type of material in order to produce
the desired finish and optimize tool life.
The books Machinery’s Handbook or Machine Shop Practice, and some internet sites, provide excellent recommendations for which cutting
speeds to use when calculating the spindle speed.
These sources also provide a wealth of additional
information about the variables that affect cutting
speed and they are a good educational resource.
Also, there are a large number of easy-to-use
spindle speed calculators that can be found on
the internet. These sources will help you take into
account the applicable variables in order to determine the best spindle speed for the operation.

Model G0793 (Mfd. Since 02/15)
Setting Spindle Speed
The chart below explains how to position the
spindle speed/direction switch and spindle speed
levers to set the desired spindle speed.
The spindle speed/direction switch can be set to
speed 1 or 2 for both left and right spindle directions. The direction of the spindle does not factor
into the spindle speed.
Note: If the levers will not move to the desired
position, rotate the spindle by hand while applying
pressure on the lever. When the gear teeth align,
the lever will move into place.
Change spindle speed ONLY when spindle
is completely stopped. Otherwise, machine
damage could occur.
With the spindle completely stopped, position the
spindle speed levers and spindle speed/direction
switch (see Figure 23) to set the spindle speed.

Calculating Spindle Speed for Drilling
Using the Drilling Speed Chart
The chart shown in Figure 24 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
oper ator.
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.
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.

Moly-D oils are some of the best we've found for
maintaining the critical components of machinery
because they tend to resist run-off and maintain
their lubricity under a variety of conditions—as
well as reduce chatter or slip. Buy in bulk and
save with 1- or 5-gallon quantities.
H7617—High-Pressure Oil Can, 5 Oz. with Flex
Nozzle
Whether you're lubricating cutting tools or maintaining machinery in top operating condition, you'll
appreciate this High-Pressure Oil Can. Holds 5
ounces of oil and has a trigger activated, high
pressure pump. Colors may vary.

T23964—Armor Plate with Moly-D MultiPurpose Grease, 14.5 oz. (NLGI#2 Equivalent)
Armor Plate with Moly-D is a rich green moly
grease that provides excellent stability and unsurpassed performance under a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions. Armor Plate
grease is entirely unique due to the fact that the
moly in it is solubilized, which provides superior performance to other greases containing the
black solid form of molybdenum disulfide.
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
Cleaning and
Protecting
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.
• Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.
• Chip guard removed.
• EMERGENCY STOP button not working correctly or not requiring you to reset it before
starting the machine again.
• Clean debris and built up grime off of machine.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Every 8 Hours:
• Lubricate ball oilers (Page 35).
• Check/Add headstock oil (Page 33).
• Check quantity/quality of coolant (Page 36).
Sawdust, woodchips, and metal chips left on the
machine will invite oxidation and a gummy residue
build-up around the moving parts. Use a brush
and shop vacuum to remove chips and debris
from the working sur- faces of the drill press.
Never blow off the drill press 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
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
Figure 37 and the Grizzly catalog or website).
®
, or Boeshield® T-9 (see

Lubrication
For the quill, table, and column, an occasional
application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, clean off any dust
or metal chips.
To change oil in headstock:
1. Remove oil fill plug on top of headstock (see
Figure 38).
Oil Fill Plug
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too
much lubrication will attract dirt and dust. Various
parts of your machine could lose their freedom of
movement as a result.
Headstock
Oi l Ty pe ......Model T23963 or ISO 68 Equivalent
Lubrication Frequency ........................... Annually
The headstock uses ISO 68 machine oil to lubricate the gears.
The headstock is equipped with two different sight
glasses: an oil-level sight glass to indicate when
the proper amount of oil is in the headstock, and
an oil-flow sight glass to verify oil is circulating
properly in the headstock.
With the machine operating, it may take 1–2
minutes before the oil-flow sight glass shows the
oil. If oil is not circulating, and the headstock has
the proper amount of oil, immediately shut down
machine, and troubleshoot before proceeding
with any additional operations. The oil MUST be
properly circulating or headstock components will
become damaged from lack of lubrication.

2. Position drain pan under drain plug and then
remove drain plug. Allow old oil to drain into
drain pan.
3. Replace and tighten drain plug.
DO NOT fill headstock with oil above red
mark. This could damage machine and
create an overflow of oil.
The amount of oil in the headstock must be regularly monitored before each operation to ensure
it doesn't drop below the oil-level sight glass visibility. The headstock has the proper amount of
oil when the oil-level sight glass is halfway full.
Headstock oil must be changed on an annual
basis to ensure proper lubricity of oil.

Downfeed Gearbox
Oi l Ty pe ......Model T23963 or ISO 32 Equivalent
Lubrication Frequency ........................... Annually
The gear box uses an oil pump to lubricate the
gears. For this machine, use ISO 32 machine
oil. Check the oil level every day (see Step 4).
Change oil annually.
Lubrication Frequency ......... 90 hrs. of Operation
This machine has four ball oilers, as shown in
Figures 41–42. Use an oil gun fitted with a tip
wide enough to seal the ball oiler inlet. We do
not recommend using metal needle or lance-type
tips, as they can push the ball too far into the oiler,
break the spring seat, and lodge the ball in the oil
gall ey.
Push the tip of the oil can nozzle against the ball
oiler to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the oil
can once or twice. If you see sludge and contaminants coming out of the lubrication area, continue
pumping the oil can until the oil runs clear. When
finished, wipe away the excess oil.
Ball Oilers
Move the table up and down to gain full access to
the column racks (see Figures 43), then clean the
teeth with mineral spirits, shop rags, and a brush.
Column
Rack

When dry, use a brush to apply a thin coat of
grease to the teeth, then raise/lower the headstock and table to distribute the grease.
Note: To help prevent rust, re-apply ISO 32 oil to
the column smooth surfaces that were removed
during the cleaning process.
