G1199/G1200 Drill Press
Circuit Requirements
The motor supplied with the G1199/G1200 is a
110V single-voltage motor, prewired for 110V.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate-
ly 9 amps @ 110V. We recommend using a 15
amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse
for 110V operation. This should be satisfactory
for normal use, while preventing motor damage
from high heat caused by overload. If frequent
circuit failures occur when using the drill press,
contact our service department or your local elec-
trical contractor. The Drill press cannot be wired
for 220V operation. 
This equipment must be grounded. 
Please
ensure that the drill press is continuously ground-
ed from the motor to the machine frame and then
to a known ground. Verify that any existing elec-
trical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is
actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary
to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding
wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no
circumstances should the grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be removed.
Extension Cords:
If used, extension cords must
be rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.
Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to
50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also
contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair
or replace extension cords if they become dam-
aged.
Light:
Your Drill Press is equipped with a built-in
110/120V lamp socket located between the spin-
dle and the column. Maximum bulb wattage is 60
watts. Always unplug machine before changing
bulb. 
CAUTION: 
Be sure that your particular electrical
configuration complies with local and state codes.
The best way to ensure compliance is to check
with your local municipality or licensed electri-
cian.
