Safety Guidelines
11. NEVER STAND ON, OR LEAN ON THE
TABLE SAW.
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as its
particular hazards.
12. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR
PROTECTION. Also use a DUST MASK
if the cutting operation is dusty.
2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in
working order.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two-prong
receptacle, the adapter plug must be
attached to a known ground. Never
remove the grounding prong.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check
that keys and wrenches are removed
from the machine before turning it on.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER
before servicing and when changing
accessories, such as blades, bits, and
cutters.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging in the cord.

6. AVOID
DANGEROUS
ENVIRON-
MENTS. Do not use power tools in damp
or wet locations or expose them to rain.
Keep your work area well lighted.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not
operate the machine until you are certain
it is in perfect running condition.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS
AWAY. All children and visitors should be
kept a safe distance away from your work
area.
18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF.
Do not leave the tool until it comes to a
full stop.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF
with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
19. DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF USING
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.
20. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate
9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work bet-
ter and safer when they are allowed to
perform at their own speed. A speed

ic guidelines for drilling operations.
machine if you are fatigued.
21. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO
NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND
ABOUT THIS TOOL, DO NOT OPER-
ATE IT! Ask for help first. Confusion can
lead to disaster.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or

Section 3:
Controls And
Adjustments
TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Table height adjustment on the Model
G1131 Radial Drill Press is controlled by a
rack-and-pinion gearing system. To control
the height of the table:
The table’s angle relative to spindle travel
can be adjusted to 45° left or right. To adjust
the table tilt:
1. Loosen the hex bolt below the table
support.
1. Release the locking lever on the rear of
the table’s gear housing, mounted on
the vertical column.
2. Tilt the table to the desired angle, using
the gauge built into the table support.
2. Turn the adjustment crank clockwise or
counterclockwise to achieve a desired
table height.
3. Once the table is adjusted to the
desired angle, re-tighten the bolt.
3. Re-tighten the locking lever to keep the
table from moving out of its desired
position.
SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
The table can be rotated from side-to-side,
or completely 180° out of the way of spindle
travel, so larger objects can be placed on
the work surface built into the base of the
drill press. To rotate the table:
1. Loosen the locking lever at the back of
the table’s gear housing.
2. Move the table to its desired position.
3. Re-tighten the locking lever.
4. Loosen the depth stop knob located at
the hub of the spindle height wheel and
rotate the depth scale counterclockwise
until the pointer reaches zero.
ON/OFF SWITCH
The Model G1131 Radial Drill Press is
equipped with a key-activated ON/OFF
switch for added safety. To switch on the
drill press:
5. Tighten the depth stop knob and
release the height wheel.
1. Insert the safety key into the switch
mechanism located at the front of the
spindle assembly.
Once the procedure is complete, your drill
press will deliver uniformly deep holes until
you choose to change your settings.
2. Flip the key to the ON position.
3. When drilling is complete, switch the
key to the OFF position. When the drill
press is not in use, remove the key from
the switch and store it in a safe place.
SPINDLE RETURN SPRING
Although the spring-operated spindle return
is set at the factory, there may come a time
when it’s necessary to adjust its level of
tightness.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENT
The Model G1131 Radial Drill Press offers
an adjustable depth stop for precision con-
trol when making repetitive cuts to an exact
depth. To set the depth stop:
Should adjustment be required, carefully
loosen the two locknuts on the outside of the
spring assembly (located on the spindle
housing)
1. Adjust your table so your workpiece is
close enough to your drill bit to allow
travel to the full depth of cut you desire.
Firmly grasp the spring housing as you
loosen the locknuts and gently pull the hous-
ing away from the spindle until the notches
clear the retainer tab. Turn the housing
clockwise – one notch at a time – until the
proper tension is attained. Tighten the lock-
nuts. Tighten the two nuts together using
two wrenches.
2. Drill your first hole to the depth you
seek.
3. Turn off the drill press and lower the
spindle until the bit reaches the base of
your cut. With one hand, maintain that
depth.
SPINDLE SPEEDS
TILTING DRILL HEAD
The Model G1131 features a five-speed belt
drive system – so you can adjust drill
speeds to match your project. To change
spindle speeds:
Adjust the drill head up to 45° clockwise or
counterclockwise by loosening the tilt lock
knob on the right side of the horizontal col-
umn support. An angle guide at the front of
the column support allows you to determine
the angle of spindle travel.
1. Turn off and unplug the drill press and
allow all moving parts to stop.
Remember to square your spindle assembly
to the table with a machinists or combination
square when returning to the zero position.
2. Loosen the tensioning knob located just
forward of the motor mount.
3. Open the top of the belt housing and
reduce tension on the belts by pushing
the motor toward the front of the drill
press.
ROTATING DRILL HEAD
The drill head on the Model G1131 Radial
Drill Press can be rotated a full 360° to han-
dle projects too large to fit on the table or
base support. To rotate the head, loosen the
4mm setscrews on the left side of the hori-
zontal column support. Once loosened, the
drill head can be rotated to fit your project.
Keep in mind, while rotating the head, that
the electrical cord must turn along with the
machine. Pay attention that the cord isn’t
pinched or snagged as a result of the rota-
tion.
4. Move the V-belt to a position that
reflects the spindle speed you desire.
See the illustration below for belt
speeds. Always move the end of the
belt that will move toward a smaller pul-
ley first.
5. When you have relocated the belt, re-
tension the motor mount. A properly
1
tensioned belt will have about /2" of
FORE/AFT MOVEMENT
deflection mid-way between pulleys.
The drill head on the Model G1131 Radial
Drill Press can be moved to front and back
to accommodate smaller or larger projects.
To adjust, loosen the tilt lock knob and slide
the horizontal column forward or backward
to suit your needs. Remember to ensure
that the spindle assembly is square to the
table before operating the machine.
6. Tighten the tensioning knob and close
the belt housing cover.
Never attempt to alter speeds by angling the
belt between un-matched pulleys. Doing so
could damage the belt and burn out bear-
ings in the spindle assembly.
