Additional Safety Instructions For Drill Presses

  1. Never use a bit with a tapered shank or square bit in a drill chuck.
  2. Remove metal cuttings with a brush, never by hand.
  3. Never drill sheet metal unless it is securely clamped to the table.
  4. Feed the drill bit evenly into the workpiece. Back the bit out of deep cuts to cool and clean the bit.
  5. Never attempt to clean wood or metal cut-tings from drill bits while the drill press is running.
  6. Work should be secured in such a way so as to avoid drilling into the table.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

  • The G4008/G4009 Drill Press is supplied with a U.S made 110V/220V motor. Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 9 amps @ 110V. We recommend using a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse for 110V operation. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while pre-venting motor damage from high heat caused by overload. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the drill press, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor.
  • 220V: Contact the service department for further instruction on wiring for 220V.

Grounding

  • CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
  • In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
  • Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
  • Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
  • Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Figure 1.
  • Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

Clean up
The column and other unpainted parts of the Model G4008/G4009 are coated with a waxy oil that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Remove the protective coating with mineral spirits and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based solvents because of their extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine-based solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.

WARNING!
Follow the safety rules listed below when working with solvents:

  1. Read and follow all directions and warnings on the solvent label.
  2. Work only in a well ventilated area.
  3. Do not work near any type of open flame (e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so on).
  4. DO NOT smoke while working with flammable material.
  5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are extremely combustible. Dispose of waste towels so they do not create a fire hazard.

Site Considerations

  1. Floor Load: Your G4008/G4009 Drill press represents a large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for the Model G4008/G4009. Some residential floors may require additional build-up to support both machine and operator.
  2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a home for your drill press. Allow sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.
  3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

SECTION 2: ASSEMBLY

Beginning Assembly
Most of the Drill Press has been pre-assembled at the factory. The few remaining pieces should go together quickly and easily. This manual is written for both the G4008 and G4009. The only difference between the two regarding assembly is the length of the column.

  • CAUTION: All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is removed at the factory. Sometimes though, a bit of flashing might escape inspection. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts before handling them.
  • Tools Required: Only a few common tools are needed to assemble this machine. Specifically, a 14mm open end wrench, Phillips screwdriver and 3mm and 4mm Allen wrench.

Base/Column

  1. Place the base on the floor (if G4009) or on a suitable bench (if G4008). In either case, be sure the surface is flat and stable.
  2. Place the column onto the base, line up the four holes and secure with the four M10-1.5 x 40mm Hex Head Bolts and lock washers pro-vided. Figure 3.

Headstock/Column

  1. Place the Headstock assembly onto the top of the column and lower it until it is seated on the column as far as it will go.
    CAUTION: The head assembly is quite heavy; get assistance when lifting.

  2. Rotate the headstock until it lines up with the base.

  3. Secure the headstock to the column by tightening the setscrews located on the side. Figure 4. 4. Screw the three handle bars into the tapped holes in the handle body. Figure 5.

Working Table

  1. Place the crank handle onto the raise/lower shaft and tighten down. Figure 6.
  2. Insert the M16-2.0 x 40 cap screw through the hole located on the bottom/rear of the table bracket.
  3. Thread the cap screw into the column bracket and tighten down. Figure 7.
  4. Place the table into the hole in the table bracket and secure with the table lock handle. Figure 8.
  5. Thread the column lock handle into the column bracket. Leave the lock handle loose for now. Figure 9.

Motor

  1. Remove the motor mount bolts from the motor mount.
  2. You will need help for this step: Attach the motor to the motor mount using the hardware removed in Step 1. Lightly tighten down the bolts.
  3. Slide the motor pulley onto the motor shaft lining up the setscrew with the flat spot on the motor shaft. Tighten the setscrew.
  4. Install the V-Belt and adjust the motor as necessary so the pulleys line up correctly. Figure 10.

Motor Wiring

  1. Remove the wire box cover located at the end of the motor.

  2. Wire the motor per the diagram in Figure 11.
    NOTE: The wires from the switch, besides the ground wire, are interchangeable; therefore their colors are not specified.

  3. Attach the ground wire securely to the green screw located on the back of the motor.

  4. Attach motor wire cover.

  5. If the motor runs backwards, reverse the positions of motor wires #5 and #8.

Drill Chuck
To mount the drill chuck on the drill press:

  1. Thoroughly clean all of the oil from both ends of the arbor, inside the drill chuck and the drill press spindle.
  2. The short taper on the end of the drill chuck arbor is called a ‘Jacobs Taper’. In this case, a ‘Jacobs Taper #3’. Slide the short taper into the drill chuck and tap lightly with a soft hammer or block of wood.
  3. The long taper of the drill chuck arbor is called a ‘Morse Taper’. In this case, a ‘Morse Taper #2’. Slide the arbor and chuck into the drill press spindle and turn it until the tang slips into the slot in the spindle.
  4. While holding onto the drill chuck, tap lightly on the bottom of the chuck with a soft hammer or a block of wood. The drill chuck should now be quite snug in the drill press. If not, repeat steps 1-3, making sure all oil is removed.

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

Speed Change
Remember to disconnect the drill press from the power source before attempting any adjustments.

  1. Loosen the two lock knobs, one on either side of the head. Figure 13.
  2. Turn the cam lever so the motor pulley moves toward the center pulley. Figure 13.
  3. Select the desired speed. Open the top cover and move the belts into the corresponding position for the selected speed.
  4. Rotate the cam lever so the motor pulley moves away from the center pulley and tighten locking screws on both sides of the head.
    CAUTION: Never run the drill press with the cover open.

Depth Stop

  • To stop the vertical travel of the drill bit at a desired depth, loosen the scale set knob located on the feed shaft assembly, rotate the collar to the desired depth and tighten the scale set knob. Figure 14.
  • To hold a stationary depth, loosen the scale set knob and rotate the feed shaft to the desired depth. Then, rotate the collar clockwise until it stops and tighten the scale set knob. This will lock the spindle at the desired depth.

Table Adjustments

  1. To adjust the table up or down, loosen the column lock handle and turn the crank handle to the desired height. Tighten the column lock handle. Figure 15.
  2. To swing the table, loosen the column lock handle and swing the table to the desired position. Tighten the column lock handle. For long workpieces, swing the work table away 180° and use the base as your table.
  3. To rotate the table, loosen the table lock handle, rotate the table to the desired position and tighten the table lock handle. Figure 16.
  4. To tilt the table, loosen the pivot bolt with the 12mm Allen wrench supplied. Figure 17. Tilt the table to the desired angle (up to 45°). Tighten the pivot bolt.

Chuck Removal

  1. Adjust the stationary depth to three inches (see depth setting instructions).
  2. Rotate the spindle manually and line up the internal spindle slot with the slot on the side of the quill. The end of the drill chuck (the tang) should be visible through the slot at this point.
  3. Insert the wedge shifter through the slot in the spindle with the tapered edge facing down. Figure 18.
  4. When the tapered edge of the wedge shifter contacts the top of the taper, tap the wedge shifter lightly with a hammer until the taper and chuck are loose. Do not allow the taper and chuck to fall onto the table.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Test Run

  • Once the assembly is complete and the adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test the machine.
  • Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there’s a problem. The drill press should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.
  • WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a rest before you do anything!

Drill Changes
To insert or change a bit, care must be taken to secure the bit firmly in place. When changing bits, proceed as follows:

  1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
  2. Open the chuck wide enough to accept the bit.
  3. Install the bit so the chuck jaws will grab the major portion of the bit shank. Do not allow the chuck to grab the fluted body of the drill bit.
  4. Tighten the chuck with the chuck key using all three key locations.
  5. Remove the chuck key and reconnect to the power source.
  6. Reverse steps to remove drill bit.

Drill Speed
The best speed to use in any drill press operation is determined by; material, size of drill bit, type of drill bit or cutter and quality of cut desired. The smaller the drill bit, the greater the speed. In soft materials, the speed should be higher than for hard materials. Refer to the chart below.

Drilling Metal

  • When drilling metal, use clamps to hold the work-piece securely in place. The workpiece should never be held in place by bare hands. The cutting edge can catch in the material at any time, resulting in serious injury. Any movement of the work-piece during the drilling operation may result in a rough or misplaced hole and increase the chance of drill bit breakage.
  • For flat work, lay the workpiece on a wooden base and clamp it firmly to the table. Use a V-block and clamp for round stock. A drill press vise with prismatic jaws can also be used to hold flat or round material.

Drilling Wood

  • Twist bits, which are intended for metal, may also be used for boring holes in wood. Machine spur bits are generally preferred, they cut a square bottomed hole and are designed for removal of wood chips. Do not use hand bits which have a screw tip; at drill press speeds they turn into the wood too fast and tend to lift the workpiece off the table and spin it.
  • For through boring, line up the hole in the work table with the bit to avoid damaging its tip. Scribe a vertical line on the column and a matching line on the table bracket so the table can be clamped in the center position at any height. Use a piece of scrap wood under your workpiece and feed the bit into the wood slowly to prevent splintering the bottom side of the workpiece.
  • When using your drill press for operations such as shaping, sanding or mortising, use jigs, fixtures or hold-downs that are appropriate. For more information, review reference materials pertaining to your specific application.
  • The chuck will accept any tool with up to a 5⁄8″ shank. Do not attempt to open the chuck wider by forcing it.

Mortise Attachment
The optional Grizzly G1083 Mortise Attachment was specifically designed to fit the G4008/G4009 Drill Press. Refer to our current catalog for ordering information.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

General
Make a habit of inspecting your drill press each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

  1. Loose mounting bolts.
  2. Worn switch.
  3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
  4. Damaged V-belt.
  5. Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Belt Tension
Proper belt tension is achieved by tightening the belt adjusting cam so the belt has a slight tension on it. Excessive tension will create heat and shorten belt life. Too little tension will cause the belt to slip and squeal.

Lubrication

  • Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. In a continuous-use environment, expect the bearings to last for several years. With intermittent use, bearings can be expected to last much longer. All bearings are standard sizes and can be easily replaced.
  • For other items on this machine, such as the quill (ref. #56 in the part breakdown), table and column, an occasional shot of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust and metal chips. Use a light grease on the rack, both on the teeth and between the rack and column.
  • The goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubricant will attract dirt and sawdust, and clog the drill press mechanism.
