Safety for Drill Presses  
1. EYE/FACE/HAND PROTECTION. A face  
shield or safety glasses is recommended.  
Always keep hands and fingers away from  
the drill bit. Never hold a workpiece by  
hand while drilling! DO NOT wear gloves  
when operating the drill.  
8. DRILL OPERATION. Never start the drill  
press with the drill bit pressed against the  
workpiece. Feed the drill bit evenly into the  
workpiece. Back the bit out frequently to  
clear chips in deep holes.  
9. CLEARING CHIPS. Turn the machine OFF  
and clear chips and scrap pieces with  
a brush. Disconnect power, remove drill  
bit, and clean table before leaving the  
machine.  
2. SECURING BIT. Properly tighten and  
securely lock the drill bit in the chuck.  
3. CORRECT BIT. Use only round, hex, or  
triangular shank drill bits.  
10. OPERATING SPEED. Always operate your  
drill press at speeds that are appropriate  
for the drill bit size and the material that you  
are drilling.  
4. ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.  
Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches  
before turning the machine ON.  
11. MOUNTING WORKPIECES. Use clamps  
or vises to secure workpiece before drill-  
ing. Position work so you avoid drilling into  
the table.  
5. DRILLING SHEET METAL. Never drill  
sheet metal unless it is securely clamped  
to the table.  
6. SURFACE/WORKPIECE PREP. Never  
turn the drill press ON before clearing the  
table of all objects (tools, scrap wood, etc.)  
DO NOT drill material that does not have  
a flat surface, unless a suitable support is  
used.  
12. TABLE LOCK. Make sure the table lock is  
tightened before starting the drill press.  
13. MAINTENANCE/SPEED  
CHANGES.  
Never change speeds or do maintenance  
with the machine connected to power.  
7. DAMAGED TOOLS. Never use drill bits in  
poor condition. Dull or damaged drill bits  
are hard to control and may cause serious  
injury.  
14. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at  
any time you are experiencing difficulties  
performing the intended operation, stop  
using the machine! Contact our Technical  
Support at (570) 546-9663.  
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 per-  
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor  
work results.  
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.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS  
Circuit Requirements  
110/220V Operation  
We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this  
machine. You MUST connect your machine to a  
grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage  
given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on  
an existing circuit with one of higher amperage  
Serious personal injury could occur if you  
without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure  
connect the machine to the power source  
compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure  
before you have completed the set up pro-  
about the wiring codes in your area or you  
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the  
plan to connect your machine to a shared cir-  
power source until instructed to do so.  
cuit, consult a qualified electrician.

Grounding  
Extension Cords  
In the event of an electrical short, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding  
wire in the power cord must be properly connect-  
ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise,  
the outlet must be properly installed and ground-  
ed. All electrical connections must be made in  
accordance with local codes and ordinances.  
110V Operation  
We do not recommend the use of extension  
cords. Instead, arrange the placement of your  
equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate  
the need for extension cords.  
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an  
extension cord at 110V with your machine:  
Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not  
exceed 50 feet in length!  
Electrocution or fire could  
result if this machine is  
not grounded correctly or  
if your electrical configu-  
ration does not comply  
with local and state codes.  
Ensure compliance by  
checking with a qualified  
electrician!  
The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug pin.  
A qualified electrician MUST size cords over  
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.  
220V Operation  
We do not recommend the use of extension  
cords. Instead, arrange the placement of your  
equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate  
the need for extension cords.  
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an  
extension cord at 220V with your machine:  
Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not  
exceed 50 feet in length!  
The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug pin.  
A qualified electrician MUST size cords over  
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.  
This machine must have a ground prong in  
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.  
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug  
to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug

Clean Up  
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy  
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-  
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-  
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as  
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,  
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-  
mum performance from your machine, make  
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding  
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-  
rine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake  
parts cleaner, as they may damage painted sur-  
faces should they come in contact. Always follow  
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any  
type of cleaning product.

Many of the solvents  
commonly used to clean  
machinery can be toxic  
when inhaled or ingest-  
ed. Lack of ventilation  
while using these sol-  
vents could cause seri-  
ous personal health risks  
or fire. Take precautions  
from this hazard by only  
using cleaning solvents  
in a well ventilated area.  
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 expedi-  
ency, replacements can be obtained at your local  
hardware store.

Site Considerations  
Mounting  
Because the assembled G9969 drill press  
is extremely heavy and difficult to move, we  
recommend mounting the base to the floor before  
the drill press is assembled. Take note of the  
drill press working clearances on this page when  
determining a location for your drill press.  
Floor Load  
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight  
and footprint specifications of your machine.  
Some floors may require additional reinforcement  
to support the machine, workpiece, and opera-  
tor.  
Because floor materials may vary, floor mount-  
ing hardware is not included. Generally, you can  
either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it  
on machine mounts. Both options are described  
below, and the recommended hardware for each  
option is shown on Page 15. Whichever option  
you choose, it is necessary to level your machine  
with a precision level.  
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 location for  
your new machine. See Figure 4 for the minimum  
working clearances.  
Bolting to Concrete Floors  
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor  
studs are two popular methods for anchoring  
an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you  
research the many options and methods for  
mounting your machine and choose the best that  
fits your specific application.  
73-3/16"  
65-1/2"  
NOTICE  
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-  
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;  
however, they will stick out of the floor,  
which may cause a tripping hazard if you  
decide to move your machine.  
Figure 4. Minimum working clearances.  
Using Machine Mounts  
Unsupervised children and  
visitors inside your shop  
could cause serious per-  
sonal injury to themselves.  
Lock all entrances to the  
shop when you are away and  
DO NOT allow unsupervised  
children or visitors in your  
shop at any time!  
Using machine mounts gives the advantage of  
fast leveling and vibration reduction. The large  
size of the foot pads distributes the weight of the  
machine to reduce strain on the floor.

Drill Chuck & Arbor  
The drill chuck attaches to the spindle by means  
of the arbor, shown in Figure 14. Matched tapers  
on the arbor and the inside of the chuck create a  
semi-permanent assembly when properly joined.

DO NOT use a steel hammer on the drill  
chuck to seat the arbor into the spindle.  
You will damage the chuck or spindle,  
which may make them unusable or unsafe.  
To assemble the drill chuck and mount it to  
the spindle:  
1. Use mineral spirits to thoroughly clean the  
drill chuck and arbor, and dry all surfaces  
before assembly. Follow all safety warnings  
on the container of mineral spirits. Failure  
to clean the mating surfaces may cause  
the tapered fit to loosen during operation,  
resulting in separation, which could lead  
to serious injury.  
2. Hand-turn the chuck to adjust the chuck jaws  
until they are inside the drill chuck body.  
3. Place the drill chuck face down on a  
workbench. 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 it  
with a rubber or wooden mallet, as shown in  
Figure 15. If the chuck fails to remain secure  
on the arbor, repeat Steps 1 & 2.

Changing Bits  
The Model G9969 is equipped with a key chuck,  
which can be opened and securely closed by  
using the included chuck key. Any drill bit you  
install in the chuck must be installed tightly  
enough that it will not come loose during opera-  
tion.  
To install a drill bit:  
1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!  
2. Open the drill chuck wide enough to accept  
the shank of the drill bit.  
3. Insert the drill bit as far as possible into the  
chuck WITHOUT allowing the chuck jaws to  
touch the fluted portion of the bit, and hand  
tighten the chuck.

4. Once you are sure the bit is installed cor-  
rectly, tighten the chuck as tight as possible  
with the chuck key.  
4. 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.  
5. Remove the chuck key from the chuck.  
To remove a drill bit:

1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!  
2. While wearing heavy leather gloves, hold the  
drill bit in one hand, and by using the chuck  
key, loosen the chuck with the other hand.  
3. Once the drill chuck is loose enough, remove  
the drill bit from the chuck.  
4. Remove the chuck key from the chuck.  
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 obtaining a new arbor for that  
chuck.)  
Figure 18. Using drift key to remove arbor.  
5. Insert the drift key into the drift key slot, and  
allow the quill to rise and trap the drift key by  
backing off the downfeed handles slightly.  
To remove the drill chuck and arbor:  
6. Hold the drill chuck with one hand and tap on  
the drift key with a rubber or wooden mallet  
(Figure 18) until the arbor releases.  
1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!  
2. Rotate the downfeed handles until the drift  
key slot is exposed in the side of the quill.  
7. While holding onto a downfeed handle,  
loosen the return height nut so that the quill  
can retract completely.  
3. Tighten the return height nut, shown on Page  
25, up against the depth stop bracket. This  
will prevent the quill from retracting when you  
release the downfeed handles.  
8.  
Carefully retract the quill into the headstock.

HARD MATERIAL: The harder the material,  
(steel vs. wood) the slower the spindle speed.  
Basic Drilling  
Operations  
SOFT MATERIAL: The softer the material, the  
faster the spindle may turn. (Plastics can melt at  
too high of a spindle speed!)  
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.  
LUBRICANT: Use some form of lubricant on all  
materials except wood and cast iron. Refer to  
Lubrication Suggestions on Page 23 to find the  
correct lubrication for your application.  
DRILLING ACCURACY: To prevent drill bit wan-  
dering and ensure accurate placement of holes,  
mark the hole location with a center punch before  
drilling. Also consider using a center-point drill to  
start the hole.  
For safe operation and optimum results, it  
is very important to follow these guidelines  
when drilling:  
SECURING WORKPIECE TO BASE: Secure the  
workpiece to the base or in a vise that is secured  
to the base before drilling.  
PLUG/ROSETTE CUTTERS: Plug cutters and  
rosette cutters are for wood only. However, car-  
bide-tipped bits and cutters cut at a higher speed  
and can cut materials other than wood, depending  
on the cutter type.  
CLEARING CHIPS: Raise the drill bit often to  
clear chips and cool the drill bit. This will ease the  
work of the drill press motor and extend the life of  
your drill bits.  
5-FLUTE/2-FLUTE CUTTERS: Use a 5-flute cut-  
ter when cutting into plastics, brass, aluminum,  
and mild steel. A 2-flute cutter can aggressively  
grab the workpiece and damage the tool if used  
with materials other than wood.  
PROTECTING BASE: Protect the base by plac-  
ing the workpiece on scrap wood. Also, use the  
depth stop so that the drill bit goes no deeper  
than necessary.  
SPADE BITS AND PLASTIC: When drilling plas-  
tic with a spade bit, use a spade bit with spurs.  
USING CORRECT SPEEDS: Use the correct  
speed for the diameter of the drill bit being used  
and the type of material being drilled. Refer to the  
Drill Bit Speed Chart on Page 23 to help you  
choose the correct speed for your application.  
HOLE SAWS: When using hole saws, apply firm  
and even pressure, so the saw teeth contact the  
surface all at the same time—not at an angle. You  
can also flip the workpiece and finish cutting from  
the other side.  
LARGE DIAMETER BITS: Large diameter drill  
bits require slower spindle speeds.  
SMALL DIAMETER BITS: Smaller diameter drill  
bits require faster spindle speeds.  
Larger bits turning at slower speeds tend  
to grab the workpiece aggressively. When  
using large bits, always clamp the work-  
piece to the base to prevent injuries. Failure  
to heed this caution can result in the oper-  
ator's hand being pulled into the bit or the  
workpiece being thrown with great force,  
causing serious personal injury!

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 recommend-  
ed speeds may be dangerous to the operator.  
Wood ...........................................................None  
Plastics ........................................... Soapy Water  
Brass .............................. Water-Based Lubricant  
Aluminum......................Paraffin-Based Lubricant  
Mild Steel..............................Oil-Based Lubricant  
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.  
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 work-  
piece to the table to prevent injuries.  
Often, when drilling materials other than wood,  
some type of lubrication is necessary.

4. 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.  
Changing Speeds  
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.  
Note: Both belts may have to be removed  
before certain speed changes can be made.  
To change speeds:  
1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!  
2. Loosen the belt tension lock knobs (Figure  
20), on both sides of the headstock, so the  
motor is free to move.

To set the depth stop:  
Depth Stop  
1. Lower the drill bit to the required height.  
The Model G9969 has a depth stop that allows  
you to drill repeated non-through holes to the  
same depth every time.  
2. Thread the depth nut down against the stop  
bracket.  
3. Lower the jam nut against the depth nut.  
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. The depth stop also features a return  
height hex nut that is used to set the minimum  
spindle return distance. Figure 23 shows the  
various components of the depth stop.  
4. Hold the depth nut in place and tighten the  
jam nut against the depth nut.  
Note: The scale on the depth stop can be recali-  
brated if it gets moved or has changed since the  
factory setting. Refer to Calibrating Depth Stop  
on Page 31 for instructions on how this is done.

Check for the following conditions and repair or  
replace when necessary:  
Loose mounting bolts.  
Worn switch.  
Lubrication  
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently  
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they  
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.  
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
Worn or damaged V-belts.  
Loose chuck or arbor.  
Keep quill, spindle, column, and table top well  
lubricated to prevent rust.  
Any other condition that could hamper the  
safe operation of this machine.  
V-Belts  
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check  
pulleys to ensure that they are properly aligned.  
See Changing Speeds on Page 23 for more  
information about removing/installing belts if you  
need help replacing the belts.  
Cleaning  
Cleaning the Model G9969 is relatively easy.  
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and  
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any  
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner  
to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and  
steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

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. Loosen the calibration nut shown in Figure  
29.  
Wear safety glasses when  
adjusting springs. Serious  
injury may occur if this  
warning is ignored!  
Jam Nut  
Depth Nut  
To adjust the feed shaft spring tension:  
1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!

2. Wipe off any oil on the spring lock cover so  
it does not slip in your fingers when you hold  
the cover from spinning (see Figure 30 for  
spring lock cover identification).

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. Letting go of the cover will  
cause the spring to rapidly uncoil, which  
could cause serious injury!  
6. Rotate the cover counterclockwise to increase  
spring tension, or let the cover slowly unwind  
in the clockwise direction to reduce spring  
tension.

slot with the locking lug and hold the spring  
cover tightly against the side of the head  
stock.  
A high tension coiled spring is underneath  
the cover. Put on heavy leather gloves and  
safety glasses to protect yourself from pos-  
sible injury when removing the cover.
