Model G9986 8" Drill Press

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.

Clean Up

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

points and could cause

an explosion or fire if

used to clean machinery.

DO NOT use gasoline or

petroleum products to

clean the machinery.

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.

Assembly

The drill press cannot be safely operated unless
it is properly assembled.

To assemble the drill press:
