G4008/G4009 Drill Press -7-
Clean up
The column and other unpainted parts of the
Model G4008/G4009 are coated with a waxy oil
that protects them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove the protective coating with miner-
al spirits and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum based solvents because of their
extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine-
based solvents – if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.
WARNING!
Follow the safety rules listed below when
working with solvents:
1. Read and follow all directions and warnings
on the solvent label.
2. Work only in a well ventilated area.
3. Do not work near any type of open flame
(e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so
on).
4. DO NOT smoke while working with flamma-
ble material.
5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are
extremely combustible. Dispose of waste
towels so they do not create a fire hazard.
Site Considerations
1. Floor Load: Your G4008/G4009 Drill press
represents a large weight load in a small
footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable
for the Model G4008/G4009. Some residen-
tial floors may require additional build-up to
support both machine and operator.
2. 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 home
for your drill press. Allow sufficient room to
safely run your machines in any foreseeable
operation.
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-
age requirements. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe
local electrical codes for proper installation
of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
