Headstock 5. Tilt the entire assembly up (see Figure 12) and carefully position the drill press on its base in the fully upright position. Components and Hardware Needed: Qty Headstock ..........................................................1 The headstock must be mounted on the column/base assembly before the drill press can be operated. Moving and installing the headstock is a two-person job, at the very least.
6. Suspend a plum bob from the center of the headstock spindle so it is over the tape/ruler as shown in Figure 13. Drill Chuck & Arbor 7. Center the headstock directly over the base as indicated by the plum bob and ruler. The drill chuck attaches to the spindle by means of the arbor, shown in Figure 15. Matched tapers on the arbor and the inside of the chuck create a semipermanent assembly when properly joined. Chuck Key Arbor Drill Chuck Figure 13. Aligning headstock with base. 8.
Downfeed Handles & Belt Cover Knob Tang-Side Up Components and Hardware Needed: Qty Downfeed Handles .............................................3 The downfeed handles must be installed to properly operate the drill press. To install the downfeed handles: 1. Thread the handles into the spindle hub, as shown in Figure 18, and tighten. 2. Remove the screw that fastens the belt cover in place and install the belt cover knob in its place (see Figure 18 for location). Figure 16. Seating arbor into chuck.
Table Light (110V Only) Components and Hardware Needed: Qty Table ...................................................................1 Components and Hardware Needed: Qty 60 W Light Bulb ..................................................1 The table must be installed to properly support the workpiece during operation. To install the table: The Model G7947/G7948 includes a light socket, intended for 110V usage only.
Test Run Floor Mounting Once assembly is complete, you are ready to test run the drill press. Once you have confirmed that your machine is running properly, we strongly recommend mounting it to the floor to ensure optimum stability. Wear safety glasses whenever starting or using machine. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury. Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs (Figure 22) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
Drill presses are top-heavy and must be securely attached to a large-footprint base plate when used with a mobile base. Failure to use a base plate greatly increases possibility of tipping and personal injury. 7. Place the drill press on the base plate. 8. Position the drill press close to the front of the mobile base, so the mobile base will not be a tripping hazard. 9.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Safety Wear safety glasses when operating this machine. Serious injury may occur if this warning is ignored! Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving machinery. Installing/Removing Drill Bits Any drill bit you install in the chuck must be tight enough that it will not come loose during operation. To install a drill bit: 1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS! 2.
Choosing Speeds Using the Drill Bit Speed Chart Lubrication Suggestions The chart shown in Figure 25 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. Wood ...........................................................None Plastics ........................................... Soapy Water Brass ..............................
Changing Speeds 4. 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. 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. For Example: As indicated in the speed chart for 670 RPM (Figure 28), a belt combination of A-1.2-2 creates 670 RPM.
Drilling SOFT MATERIAL: The softer the material, the faster the spindle may turn. (Plastics can melt at too high of a spindle speed!) The Model G7947/G7948 is designed for drilling holes in wood 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 down feed levers to move the spinning drill bit into the workpiece. LUBRICANT: Use some form of lubricant on all materials except wood.
Depth Stop Adjusting Table The Model G7947/G7948 has a depth stop that allows you to drill repeated non-through holes to the same depth every time. The table can raised/lowered, rotated, and tilted 90° left or right. Table adjustment controls are shown in Figure 30. 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.
Arbor Removal The arbor can be removed to install other Morse Taper tooling in the spindle. A drift key is included to help remove the arbor or other tooling from the spindle. Usually, once the chuck and arbor have been properly mounted together, they are considered semi-permanent connections. (If you would like to install a different chuck, we recommend getting a new arbor for that chuck.) 7.

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. 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 loosen the cover nut approximately 1 ⁄4" (see Figure 43). 4. Put on heavy leather gloves to protect your hands from possible lacerations if the spring uncoils during the next step. 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.
