Rotate the spindle until the inner drift key slot is aligned with the outer slot, as shown in Figure 18. You will see through the spindle when the slot is properly aligned. To remove a drill bit: 1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS! 2.
Basic Drilling Operations The Model G9969 is designed for drilling holes in wood, plastics or metal. The basic operation of a drill press is lining up your drill bit with the intended hole location, turning the drill press ON, and using the downfeed handles to move the spinning drill bit into the workpiece at a steady and controlled feed rate.
Choosing Speeds Using the Drill Bit Speed Chart Lubrication Suggestions The chart shown in Figure 19 is intended as a guide only. Always follow manufacturer's speed recommendations if provided with your drill bits, cutters, or hole saws. Exceeding the recommended speeds may be dangerous to the operator.

Water-Based Lubricant Aluminum...
A Changing Speeds 4. MO 12 SPEED R Locate the desired speed on the speed chart under the belt cover and move the V-belts to the desired V-grooves on the motor, idler, and spindle pulleys. SPINDLE S The belts in the head of the drill press must be rearranged to change speeds. A chart under the belt cover shows the belt positions needed to make the drill press run at the desired speed. For Example: As indicated in the speed chart (Figure 22), a belt combination of A-2 creates 540 RPM.
Depth Stop The Model G9969 has a depth stop that allows you to drill repeated non-through holes to the same depth every time. The depth stop consists of a stud attached to the quill, with two hex nuts that can be lowered or raised on the stud so the lower nut (depth nut) hits a stop bracket when the drill bit is lowered. The upper hex nut (jam nut) is then used to tighten against the depth nut to secure it in place so the depth nut doesn't move with repeated operations.
Headstock Adjustment The headstock can be rotated 360º around the column, can swivel 360º in place, and can tilt 45º to the left or the right. Figure 24 shows the headstock adjustment components. Lock Handles 3. Adjust the headstock rotation around the column by moving the headstock to the desired position. 4. Tighten the hex nuts. Headstock Tilt We recommend that an assistant helps with the headstock tilt process, as the headstock is very heavy. To tilt the headstock: Large Hex Bolt 1.

Depth Stop Calibration Feed Shaft Spring Tension The drill press comes fitted with a depth stop to use when drilling multiple holes at the same depth. The scale on this depth stop can be calibrated if it ever becomes incorrect. The feed shaft return spring is adjusted at the factory; however, during the life of the drill press you may want to adjust the feed shaft return spring so the feed shaft return pressure suits your operating needs. To calibrate the depth stop: 1.
3. Put on heavy leather gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from possible injury if the spring uncoils during the next step. 4. While holding the spring lock cover against the side of the head stock so the cover stays splined with the locking lug; loosen the jam nut and cover nut approximately 1⁄4" (see Figure 31). 5. Pull the cover outward just enough to disengage the spring-cover lock slot from the locking lug. Note: It is important to keep a good grip during this step.
