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.

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.
G1199/G1200 Drill Press -5-
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.
-6- 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 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.
G1199/G1200 Drill Press -7-
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.

et and attach the crank handle by tightening
the setscrew. Figure 3.
4. The rack has a section on each end with no
teeth. The end with the larger blank section is
the top. Place the rack in the slot in the table
bracket with the top facing up. Position it so
the teeth mesh with the worm pinion. While
holding it in that position, slide the table bracket and rack down the column until the bottom
of the rack meets the base of the column.
Figure 4. The bevel in the rack should fit into
the bevel in the top of the base.
5. Slide the rack ring down the column until it fits
over the beveled section at the top of the rack.
Tighten the setscrew in the rack ring leaving
enough slack between the rack and the rack
ring to allow the rack to move freely around
the column. Figure 5. Do not over-tighten or
you may crack the rack ring casting.
6. Place the head assembly onto the top of the
column and lower it until it sits on the shoulder
machined into the top of the column.
CAUTION: The head assembly is quite
heavy; get assistance when lifting.

Drill Chuck
Figure 9. Drill chuck assembly.
The Drill Press chuck and arbor must be mounted in the drill press spindle. The arbor has a #6
Jacobs Taper on one end and a #2 Morse Taper
on the other. The #6 Jacobs Taper fits into the
drill chuck and the #2 Morse Taper fits in the drill
press spindle. The arbor, drill chuck and drill
press spindle fit together by friction fit. To mount
the drill chuck on the drill press:
1. Thoroughly clean all of the shipping oil or cos-
molene from both ends of the arbor, inside the
drill chuck and the drill press spindle. Use
mineral spirits and a rag.
2. Slide the arbor into the drill chuck and tap
lightly with a soft hammer or block of wood.
3. Slide the arbor and chuck into the drill press
spindle and turn it until the tang slips into the
slot in the spindle.
4. While holding onto the drill chuck, tap lightly
on the bottom of the chuck with a soft hammer
or a block of wood. The drill chuck should now
be quite snug in the drill press. If not, repeat
steps 1-3, making sure all oil or cosmolene is
removed.

Caution
Always wear ANSI-approved safety
glasses or goggles when operating
equipment — particularly when testing new tools or machinery. Do not
allow visitors into your workshop
when testing or operating equipment.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Safety Rules
• The workpiece must be held securely in place
using a drill press vise or clamp.
• Never use a bit with a tapered shank or
square bit in a drill chuck.
• Use the correct speed for the size of bit and
material being drilled.
• Always remove the key from the chuck before
starting drill press.
• Remove metal cuttings with a brush, never by
hand.
• Perform machine inspection and maintenance
service routinely.
• Never drill sheet metal unless it is securely
clamped to the table.
• Work should be secured in such a way so as
to avoid drilling into the table.
• When changing speeds, always disconnect
the machine from the power source.
This sums up our review of safety guidelines.
Remember that every shop has its own specific
hazards. Be sure, above all else, to use good
common sense and reasonable caution each
time you start this drill press, or any woodworking
machinery. Proper safety standards rarely take
any more time or energy when followed religiously. Develop a habit of safety.
Now that your drill press is assembled and in
place, you are ready to begin using it. Your new
drill press is a simple piece of equipment to set up
and operate. It is a versatile tool that can be used
to perform many different operations such as:
Drilling, Boring, Sanding, Mortising and Shaping.
For your own protection, please read and follow
these safety precautions.
•While operating this machine, do not wear
jewelry, loose clothing, necklaces or neckties.
Long sleeves on shirts should be rolled up or
securely buttoned at the cuff.
• Persons with beards and/or long hair should
consider the use of a hat, hair net or similar
protective equipment.
• Always use face/eye protection when operating the drill press. A full face shield will afford
the best protection followed by safety glasses
with side shields.
• All adjustments or maintenance should be
done with the power off and the drill press
unplugged.
• Never use tools that are in poor condition.
Cutting tools that are dull or damaged are difficult to control and may cause serious injury.
• Thoroughly clean the machine and surrounding area after use.
• Feed the drill bit evenly into the workpiece.
Back the bit out of deep cuts to cool and clean
the bit.
• If you have questions about your drill press,
ask a professional or an experienced user.
• Never attempt to clean wood or metal cuttings
from drill bits while the drill press is running.
G1199/G1200 Drill Press -15-
Once the assembly is complete and the adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are
ready to test the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case
there’s a problem. The drill press should run
smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or
adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until
the machine is turned off, unplugged and all
working parts have come to a rest before you do
anything!
If noises occur that can not be found by visual
inspection, feel free to contact our service
department for help.
Test Run Drill Changes
Figure 17.
To insert or change a bit, care must be taken to
secure the bit firmly in place. When changing bits,
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Open the chuck wide enough to accept a new
bit.
3. Install the bit so the chuck jaws will grab the
major portion of the bit shank. Do not allow
the chuck to grab the fluted body of the drill
bit.
4. Tighten the chuck with the chuck key using all
three key locations.
5. Remove the chuck key and reconnect to the
power source.
6. Reverse steps to remove drill bit.
-16- G1199/G1200 Drill Press
Drilling Metal
When drilling metal, use clamps to hold the workpiece securely in place. The workpiece should
never be held in place by bare hands. The cutting
edge can catch in the material at any time, resulting in serious injury. Any movement of the workpiece during the drilling operation may result in a
rough or misplaced hole and increase the chance
of drill bit breakage.
For flat work, lay the workpiece on a wooden
base and clamp it firmly to the table. Use a Vblock and clamp for round stock. A drill press vise
with prismatic jaws can also be used to hold flat
or round material.
Drill Speed
The best speed to use in any drill press operation
is determined by; material, size of drill bit, type of
drill bit or cutter and quality of cut desired. The
smaller the drill bit, the greater the speed. In soft
materials, the speed should be higher than for
hard materials. Refer to the chart on Page 25.
G1199/G1200 Drill Press -17-
Figure 18. Mortise Attachment installed.
Mortise Attachment
The optional Grizzly G1083 Mortise Attachment
was specifically designed to fit the G1199/G1200
Drill Presses. Refer to our current catalog for
ordering information.
Drilling Wood
Twist bits, which are intended for metal, may also
be used for boring holes in wood. Machine spur
bits are generally preferred, they cut a square
bottomed hole and are designed for removal of
wood chips. Do not use hand bits which have a
screw tip; at drill press speeds they turn into the
wood too fast and tend to lift the workpiece off the
table and spin it.
For through boring, line up the hole in the work
table with the bit to avoid damaging its tip. Scribe
a vertical line on the column and a matching line
on the table bracket so the table can be clamped
in the center position at any height. Use a piece
of scrap wood under your workpiece and feed the
bit into the wood slowly to prevent splintering the
bottom side of the workpiece.
When using your drill press for operations such
as shaping, sanding or mortising, use jigs, fixtures or hold-downs that are appropriate. For
more information, review reference materials pertaining to your specific application.
The chuck will accept any tool with up to a
5
⁄8"
shank. Do not attempt to open the chuck wider by
forcing it.
-18- G1199/G1200 Drill Press
SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Belt Tension
Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require
no lubrication for the life of the bearings. In a continuous-use environment, expect the bearings to
last for several years. With intermittent use, bearings can be expected to last much longer. All
bearings are standard sizes and can be easily
replaced.
For other items on this machine, such as the quill,
table and column, an occasional shot of light
machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust and metal chips.
Use a light grease on the rack, both on the teeth
and between the rack and column.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too
much lubricant will attract dirt and sawdust and
clog the drill press mechanism.
Proper belt tension is achieved by tightening the
belt adjusting cam so the belt has a slight tension
on it. Excessive tension will create heat and
shorten belt life. Too little tension will cause the
belt to slip and squeal.
Make a habit of inspecting your drill press each
time you use it. Check for the following conditions
and repair or replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged V-belt.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
