Safety Instructions for Machinery

SECTION 1: SAFETY

For your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual before Operating This Machine

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of impor- tance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.

		Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

		WILL result in death or serious injury.
		Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

		COULD result in death or serious injury.
		COULD result in death or serious injury.
		Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

		MAy result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert

		against unsafe practices.
NOTICE		This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
NOTICE		proper operation of the machine.

OWNER’S MANUAL. read and understand this owner’s manual BeFore using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLy. untrained oper- ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, dis- connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machin- ery. never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURy RISKS. you can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. to reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always discon- nect machine from power supply BeFore making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. this prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EyE PROTECTION. Always wear Ansi-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.

G0747 and G0748 specifications

The Grizzly G0747 and G0748 are advanced metal lathes designed for precision machining and versatility, catering to both amateur machinists and professional workshops. These machines stand out in the realm of metalworking equipment, thanks to their robust construction and innovative features.

One of the key attributes of the G0747 and G0748 is their solid cast iron construction, which provides excellent vibration dampening during operation. This enhances stability and precision, crucial for producing high-quality machined parts. Equipped with powerful motors, both models are capable of handling a wide range of materials, from aluminum to harder metals like steel.

The G0747 features a variable speed drive system, allowing users to adjust the spindle speed based on the project at hand. This flexibility is beneficial for tasks that require different cutting speeds, enabling machinists to optimize cutting performance and tool longevity. Its variable speed output ranges, alongside smooth torque delivery, make it ideal for intricate turning operations.

On the other hand, the G0748 includes an advanced digital readout (DRO) system. This feature provides real-time feedback on the machine's position and speed, significantly improving accuracy in measurements during machining tasks. The DRO system allows operators to set precise limits and keep track of their progress, essential for complex projects where exact dimensions are critical.

Both lathes are equipped with a user-friendly interface, making them accessible for beginners while still offering advanced functionalities that seasoned professionals appreciate. They include multiple tooling options, allowing for an expansive range of machining techniques including turning, threading, and drilling.

Moreover, the G0747 and G0748 come with a comprehensive assortment of accessories, such as different types of chucks and tool holders, which further extends their capabilities. The ease of changing tooling and quick setup times are significant advantages for shops aiming for efficiency and versatility in their operations.

In conclusion, the Grizzly G0747 and G0748 metal lathes are exemplary units that balance power, precision, and user-friendliness. Their advanced features, such as variable speed capabilities and digital readouts, equip machinists with the tools necessary to produce exceptional work. Whether for hobbyists or industrial applications, these lathes are built to meet a variety of machining needs with impressive performance and reliability.
