Model G9986 8" Drill Press
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person
-
al injury.
Cleaning the Model G9986 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and
steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
V-Belt
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Keep quill, spindle, column, and table top well
lubricated to prevent rust. Protect the unpainted
cast iron surfaces by wiping them clean after
every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust
does not remain on bare metal surfaces.
Keep these surfaces rust-free with regular appli-
cations of products like G96
® Gun Treatment,
SLIPI
T®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see the current
Grizzly Catalog
for more details).
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. See
Changing Speeds on Page 14 for more
information about removing/installing the belt if
you need help with replacement.
Regular periodic maintenance on your drill press
will ensure optimum performance. Make a habit
of inspecting your machine each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
• Damaged V-belt.
• Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
• Loose chuck/arbor.
