Site Considerations
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.

Figure 4. 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!
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.
