Drill Chuck and Key
Drift Key
Allen Wrenches (2)
Hex Bolts, M10 x 25 or 40 (4)

In the event that any nonproprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer), we would be glad to replace them, or, for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hard-ware store.

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.

WARNING: Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents. They have low flash points which make them extremely flamma-ble. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored.

CAUTION: Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingest-ed. Always work in well-ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with sol-vents. Use care when dis-posing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environ-mental hazards.

WARNING: Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explo-sion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD
Your Model G7943/7944 represents a moderate weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial or home shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the Model G7943/7944. If you ques-tion the strength of your floor, you can opt to rein-force it. Ensure that the stand or bench you use with the Model G7943 is capable of supporting the machine.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-tances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without lim-itation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine to one another for effi-cient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.
LIGHTING AND OUTLETS
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

CAUTION: Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjust-ing or operating equip-ment.

Assembly

Beginning Assembly

WARNING: Disconnect power to the machine when perform-ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust-ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.
WARNING: Wear safety glasses dur-ing the entire assembly process. Failure to com-ply may result in serious personal injury.

Most of your G7943/44 Drill Press has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order presented here.
TOOLS REQUIRED: 11⁄16" open end wrench, rub-ber or wooden mallet and (2) Allen wrenches (supplied).

Column/Base

The G7944 is a floor model and must be secured to the floor using anchor bolts, or the base should be secured to a piece of plywood. The G7943 must be secured to a bench.

WARNING: Do not use a mobile base. Drill presses are extremely top heavy. A stable base is required to prevent serious bodily injury.

Unplug machine before assembly.
G7944: Secure the base to the floor using the appro-priate anchor bolts. or Secure base to a piece of 4' x 4' x 3⁄4" plywood. Using the holes in the base as a guide, drill and bolt the base to the back center of the plywood using carriage bolts.
G7943: Secure base to a bench top capable of holding approximately 160 lbs plus the weight of the workpiece. Using the holes in the base as a guide, drill and bolt the base to the bench top using carriage bolts.
Place the column on the base and line up the mounting holes. Insert and tighten the M10-1.5 hex head bolts with a wrench.

Table Support

Thread the 12mm table lock handle 3 turns into the table support bracket as shown in Figure 4.
Insert the pinion gear into the hole on the side of the table support bracket from the inside, starting with the pinion shaft as shown in Figure 4. Align setscrew in crank handle with flat on pinion gear shaft and secure using the 3mm Allen® wrench provided as shown in Figure 5.
Examine the rack and note that the gear teeth extend farther on one end than the other. The end of the rack where the gear teeth are closest to the end should be posi-tioned down. Insert the rack into the table support bracket and align it with the pocket as shown in Figure 5. The gear teeth on the rack must also face out.
Slide the table support bracket onto the col-umn while holding the rack in place. Allow the bracket to go down until the bottom of the rack contacts the shoulder on the column support as shown in Figure 5. Secure the table support bracket with the lock handle.
Slide the column ring onto the column with the inside bevel in the down position as shown in Figure 6. Adjust the ring until the tip of the rack fits inside the bevel. Tighten the setscrew on the ring.

NOTICE: Use caution when tightening setscrew. Over tightening will split the column ring.

Headstock

CAUTION: The headstock repre-sents a heavy load. Seek assistance before begin-ning this step.

There is a pocket in the bottom of the head-stock for the column to be placed. Seek assistance to help position the headstock over the column. Allow the headstock to slide down until it stops (approximately 4").
Position the headstock directly over the base by using a plumb bob. Use a measuring tape or ruler across the drill press base to find its center. Suspend the plumb line from the cen-ter of the headstock label and lower the bob until it is near the tape/ruler as shown in Figure 7. Adjust headstock from side to side until the tip is equidistant from both the left and right sides.
Tighten the two setscrews shown in Figure 8

Handles: Three handles are supplied with the drill press. Thread them into the handle hub.

Installing Light Bulb

The Model G7943/44 has a light socket that uti-lizes standard sized 40 watt bulbs. Before installing a light bulb, unplug the drill press. Secure bulb in opening behind the spindle.

WARNING: Use only bulbs that are “safety coated” and shatter resistant. The bulb will be exposed at the bottom of the head casting which helps with illumination. Impacts with a bulb not “safety coated” may shatter, exposing the electrical filaments and creating an electrical shock hazard.

Drill Chuck and Arbor

heavy_duty_floor_drill_chuck_and_arbor_drill_press_g7944.png

The drill chuck attaches to the drill spindle by means of a drill chuck arbor. Matched tapers on the arbor and back of the chuck create an almost permanent assembly when properly joined. To assemble the drill chuck and mount it to the spin-dle, carefully follow the instructions below:

The drill chuck, arbor and spindle socket must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before assembly. It is recommended that mineral spirits be used for this task. Refer to the safe-ty warnings on the container of the mineral spirits. Failure to clean the mating sur-faces may result in separation and an unsafe condition. Separation is usually caused by oil or grease on the taper.
Use the provided chuck key to adjust the jaws of the chuck until they are well inside the drill chuck body.
Place the drill chuck on a workbench face down. The arbor has a short taper and a long taper. Place the short taper into the socket in the back of the drill chuck and tap with a rub-ber or wooden mallet as shown in Figure 10. If the chuck fails to remain secure on the arbor, repeat step 1 and 2.
Slide the arbor into the spindle socket while slowly rotating drill chuck. The socket has a rectangular pocket in which the tang (or flat portion of the arbor) fits into. Once the tang is oriented correctly the drill chuck will not rotate without turning the spindle.
Tap the end of the drill chuck with a rubber or wooden mallet to seat it as shown in Figure 11.

CAUTION: DO NOT use a steel hammer on the drill chuck to seat it onto the spindle. Damage will occur to the chuck and/or spindle which may make them unusable or unsafe.

Arbor Removal

A drift key is included to aid in the drill chuck arbor removal.

Rotate the spindle handles until the slot is exposed in the side of the quill.
Rotate the spindle until the inner slot is aligned with the outer as shown in Figure 12. You will see through the spindle when the slot is properly aligned.
Insert the drift key into the slot and allow the quill to rise, trapping the drift key. Hold the drill chuck with one hand and tap on the drift key with a hammer as shown in Figure 13.

Adjustments of Floor Drill Press G7944

Speed Changes

Unplug the drill press before changing speeds. The drill press has 12 speeds ranging from 140 to 3050 R.P.M. There is a speed chart located under the belt guard. Refer to the chart while reading these instructions.

Loosen the belt tension lock knobs on both sides of the headstock by turning counter-clockwise as shown in Figure 14.
The motor should be free to move. Rotate the belt tension lever counterclockwise to take tension off the V-belts as shown in Figure 15.
Locate the desired speed on the chart and move the V-belts to the desired V-grooves on the motor, idler and spindle pulleys.
Rotate the belt tension lever until the belts are tight. Tighten both lock knobs.
Close the cover.

Depth Stop

Your drill press comes with a depth stop adjust-ment for use when drilling.

Loosen the depth collar lock knob as shown in Figure 16.
Secure the wood stock you will be drilling onto the drill press table.
With the desired bit installed, lower the spin-dle until the tip of the bit just touches the wood stock you will be drilling. Hold the spin-dle in this position.
Turn the depth collar to the desired depth indicated by the scale on the collar. Secure the collar by tightening the lock knob.
Remove the wood stock and test the depth stop by measuring how far the spindle travels when the handles are rotated as shown in Figure 17.

You can also lock the spindle in the down posi-tion for operations such as spindle sanding.

Loosen the depth collar lock knob as shown in Figure 16.
Rotate the spindle to the desired depth and hold it steady.
Rotate the the collar clockwise until it stops, and tighten the lock knob.
Slowly release the drill press handle. The spindle should not move.

Table Adjustment

The table can be adjusted for height, rotation and angle.

Loosen the support bracket lock knob. Turn the table hand crank to lift or lower the table as shown in Figure 18.
Always lock the support bracket in place before operating the machine.

Adjust rotation

Loosen the lock handle located under the table as shown in Figure 19. Rotate the table the desired amount.
Always lock the table rotation in place before operating the machine.

Adjust angle

Turn the nut indicated by the arrow in Figure 18, in a clockwise direction. This will draw the location pin out of the casting. Once loose, pull the pin and nut out, and set it in a safe place until needed.
Loosen the large bolt in the center of the sup-port bracket.
Rotate the bracket to the desired angle. Use the scale on the side of the bracket or a pro-tractor to set the angle. Lock in place by tightening the bolt.

When repositioning the table to 0˚ position, loosen the large bolt in the center of the support casting. Rotate the support casting until the degree scale reads 0˚. Carefully tap the location pin back into the hole from which it came until it stops. Unscrew the nut on the location pin until it is flush with the end of the threads. This will pro-tect the threads when you tap it into place with a hammer. Turn the nut clockwise until it is snug against the casting and then tighten the large bolt in the center. The table is now set to the factory pre-set angle.

Operations

Test Run

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Flip the START button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the paddle switch, just in case there is a problem. The drill press should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigat-ed and corrected before operating the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help.

Drill Bit Changes

Make sure to secure the bit firmly in place. When changing bits, proceed as follows:

Disconnect the machine from power source.
Open the chuck wide enough to accept a new bit.
Install the bit so the chuck jaws will grab as much of the bit shank as it can. Do not allow the chuck to grab the fluted body of the drill bit. Make sure small drill bits do not get trapped between the edges of two jaws.
Tighten the chuck with the chuck key using any of the three key end locations.
Remove the chuck key and reconnect power source.
Reverse steps to remove drill bit.

Grizzly Heavy Duty Maintenance

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G7943/44 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

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

Tables

The nonpainted surfaces on the Model G7943/44 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the machine clean after every use ensures that wood dust will not trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.
Some woodworkers recommend using automo-tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron sur-faces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as well as reducing friction between lumber and the table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic ingredients. These materials can find their way into lumber that is being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that it is 100% Carnauba wax.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

V-Belt

Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check pul-leys to ensure that they are properly aligned. See pulley/V-belt sections for proper tension and pul-ley alignment procedures.
