Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire opera- tion process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the paddle switch, just in case there’s a problem. The drill press should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing nois- es. Strange or unnatural noises should be investi- gated and corrected before operating the machine further.

If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help.

Care must be taken to secure the bit firmly in place. When changing bits, proceed as follows:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Open the chuck wide enough to accept a new bit.

3.Install the bit so the chuck jaws will grab as much of the bit shank as possible. Do not allow the chuck to grab the fluted body of the drill bit. Make sure small drill bits do not get trapped between the edges of two jaws.

4.Tighten the chuck with the chuck key using any of the three key end locations.

5.Remove the chuck key and reconnect the power source.

6.Reverse steps to remove the drill bit.

G7945, G7946 specifications

The Grizzly G7946 and G7945 are two exceptionally engineered tools designed for professional woodworkers and hobbyists who demand high quality and performance in their milling operations. These models are known for their robust construction, versatility, and precision capabilities, making them invaluable assets in any woodworking shop.

The G7946 model features a powerful 1.5 HP motor that provides ample power for handling a variety of milling tasks. The machine's table is constructed from high-quality cast iron, which not only offers stability but also helps to reduce vibration, resulting in smoother cuts. Measuring 36 inches by 5 inches, the table has ample workspace, allowing for the machining of larger workpieces with ease.

Equipped with an adjustable fence that locks firmly into place, the G7946 ensures that users can achieve accurate and repeatable cuts. The fence is also designed with a built-in scale for added convenience, enabling you to set up your cuts without the need for additional measuring tools. This feature streamlines the workflow and enhances productivity, making it ideal for both intricate detail work and bulk operations.

On the other hand, the G7945 model boasts a slightly different configuration but maintains a similar level of performance and precision. It includes a larger table for even more extensive projects, while its powerful 1.75 HP motor adds an extra level of capability for tougher materials. It features a quick-release mechanism which allows for easy adjustments, ensuring that you can swiftly transition between operations without interrupting your workflow.

Both machines come equipped with advanced technologies that enhance user experience. One notable feature is the integrated dust collection system, which keeps the workspace clean and contributes to a safer working environment. This system effectively captures wood shavings and particles, reducing airborne dust and allowing for maximum visibility while you work.

In summary, the Grizzly G7946 and G7945 are outstanding choices for anyone looking to upgrade their milling capabilities. With robust motors, spacious worktables, precision fencing systems, and efficient dust collection features, they stand out as leading options in the realm of woodworking machinery. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic hobbyist, these machines are designed to meet and exceed your expectations in terms of durability, performance, and versatility.
