Grizzly G1199, G1200 instruction manual Circuit Requirements

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.
