Radial Drill Press

Figure 4. Minimum working clearances.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Using Machine Mounts

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.
