G7947/G7948 12 Speed Floor Drill Press
Components and Hardware Needed: Qty
Headstock ..........................................................1
The headstock must be mounted on the col-
umn/base assembly before the drill press can be
operated. Moving and installing the headstock is
a two-person job, at the very least. Although the
headstock can be lifted directly onto the column
while upright, doing so is difficult and potentially
dangerous because of the heavy weight involved.
We recommend sliding the column into the head-
stock, then tilting the entire assembly fully upright,
as described and shown in this section.
Headstock
To mount the headstock onto the column:
1. Set the top piece of the headstock styrofoam
packing approximately six feet away from the
column/base assembly.
2. Remove the headstock from the box and
place it on the styrofoam packing piece you
laid out in
Step 1.
Note: To avoid damaging the machine, be
careful not to hold the headstock by the
switch or the top part of the belt cover when
lifting.
3. Carefully lay the column/base on its side.
4. Slide the column all the way into the bottom
of the headstock (approximately 4"-6").
The headstock is very
heavy. You MUST have
assistance when moving,
lifting or mounting the
headstock on the column
and base assembly.
Figure 12. Tilting drill press upright.
If the base starts to slide when tilting, you
MUST have a third person hold the base
from sliding to avoid personal injury or
machine damage.
5. Tilt the entire assembly up (see Figure 12)
and carefully position the drill press on its
base in the fully upright position.
