WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

To operate this or any power tool safely and efficiently, it is essential to become as familiar with it
as possible. The time you invest before you begin
to use your Model G1199/G1200 will be time well
spent. DO NOT operate this machine until you
are completely familiar with the contents of this
manual.

12. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PROTECTION. Also use a DUST MASK if the
operation is dusty.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER
before servicing and when changing accessories.
16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging in the cord.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not operate
the machine until you are certain it is in perfect running condition.
18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do
not leave the tool until it comes to a full stop.
19. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL IF USING
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.
20. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate
machine if you are fatigued.
21. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO
NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND
ABOUT THIS TOOL, DO NOT OPERATE IT! Ask for help first. Confusion
can lead to disaster.
22. BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS. Review
all safety procedures often.
These safety rules cannot cover every situation in
a woodshop. Consider your conditions when setting up or operating your drill press.
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as its
particular hazards.
2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in
working order.
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.
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.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work
area well lighted.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.
All children and visitors should be kept a safe
distance away from your work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removable
starter keys.
9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better
and safer when they are allowed to perform
at their own speed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry
that can get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear must be worn. Long hair should be
tied back or wear a hat.
11. NEVER STAND ON, OR LEAN ON THE
TOOL. Doing so could cause injury.
Safety Rules For All Tools

Unpacking
The Model G1199/G1200 Drill press is shipped
from the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If you discover the machine is damaged after
you’ve signed for delivery, please call Customer
Service immediately for advice.
Save the containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.
Otherwise filing a freight claim can be difficult.
Caution: The G1199/G1200 is a heavy machine
(G1199-140 lbs. shipping weight; G1200-150 lbs.
shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert yourself
while unpacking or moving your machine – get
assistance. In the event that your drill press must
be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be sure
that the stairs are capable of supporting the combined weight of people and the machine.
When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.
Piece Inventory
After all the parts have been removed from the
carton, you should have:
• Working Table
• Column
• Base
• Head Stock Assembly
• Drill Chuck and Arbor
• Crank Handle
• Column Lock Handle
• Handle Bar (3)
• Hex Bolt M10 - 1.5 x 40mm (4)
• Wedge Shifter
• Chuck Key
• 3 & 4mm Allen Wrenches
In the event that any non proprietary parts are
missing (e.g. a nut or a washer...), we would be
glad to replace them, or, for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local
hardware store.
Figure 1. Overview of all the parts.

Clean up
The column and other unpainted parts of the
Model G1199/G1200 are coated with a waxy oil
that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Remove the protective coating with mineral spirits and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum based solvents because of their
extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorinebased 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 G1199/G1200 Drill press
represents a large weight load in a small
footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable
for the Model G1199/G1200. Some residential 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 prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amperage 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.

Circuit Requirements
The motor supplied with the G1199/G1200 is a
110V single-voltage motor, prewired for 110V.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 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 electrical contractor. The Drill press cannot be wired
for 220V operation.
This equipment must be grounded. Please
ensure that the drill press is continuously grounded from the motor to the machine frame and then
to a known ground. Verify that any existing electrical 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 damaged.
Light: Your Drill Press is equipped with a built-in
110/120V lamp socket located between the spindle 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 electrician.

Beginning Assembly
Most of the Drill Press has been pre-assembled
at the factory. The few remaining pieces should
go together quickly and easily. Assembly is
straight forward and with just a few tools you can
do the entire job quickly and easily. This manual
is written for the G1199/G1200 model. The only
difference between the two regarding assembly is
the length of the column.
CAUTION: All die-cut metal parts have a sharp
edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are
formed. This is removed at the factory.
Sometimes though, a bit of flashing might escape
inspection. Please examine the edges of all diecut metal parts before handling them.
Tools Required: Only a few common tools are
needed to assemble this machine. Specifically, a
14mm open end wrench, Phillips screwdriver and
3mm and 4mm Allen wrench.
SECTION 2: ASSEMBLY
Figure 2. Base to column.
Base/Column
1. Place the base on the floor (if G1200) or on a
suitable bench (if G1199). In either case, be
sure the surface is flat and stable.
2. Place the column onto the base, line up the
four holes and secure tightly with the four
M10-1.5 x 40mm Hex Head Bolts provided.
