Additional Safety Instructions for Lathe/Mills

1.UNDERSTANDING THE MACHINE: Read and understand this manual before operat- ing machine.

2.CLEANING MACHINE: To avoid entangle- ment and lacerations, do not clear chips by hand. Use a brush, and never clear chips while the lathe is turning.

3.USING CORRECT TOOLING: Always select the right cutter for the job, and make sure cutters are sharp. The right tool decreases strain on the lathe components and avoids unsafe cutting.

4.ELIMINATING A PROJECTILE HAZARD: Always remove the chuck key, and never walk away from the lathe with the chuck key installed.

5.SECURING A WORKPIECE: Make sure workpiece is properly held in chuck before starting lathe. A workpiece thrown from the chuck will cause severe injury.

6.AVOIDING OVERLOADS: Always use the appropriate feed and speed rates.

7.MAINTAINING A SAFE WORKPLACE: Never leave lathe unattended while it is run- ning.

8. PREVENTING AN APRON-CHUCK CRASH: Always release automatic feeds after completing a job.

9.AVOIDING STARTUP INJURIES: Make sure workpiece, cutting tool, and tool post have adequate clearance before starting lathe. Check chuck clearance and saddle clearance before starting the lathe. Make sure spindle RPM is set correctly for part diameter before starting the lathe. Large parts can be ejected from the chuck if the chuck speed is set too high.

10.CHUCK SAFETY: Chucks are surprisingly heavy and awkward to hold, so protect your hands and the lathe ways. Always use a chuck cradle or piece of plywood over the lathe ways.

11.WORKPIECE SUPPORT: Support a long workpiece if it extends from the headstock so it will not wobble violently when the lathe is turned on. If workpiece extends more than 2.5 times its diameter from the chuck, sup- port it by a center or steady rest or it may deflect and fall out of the chuck during cut- ting.chuck speed is set too high.

12.AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT INJURIES: Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe chuck or mill spindle by hand; and tie back long hair, ponytails, loose clothing, and sleeves so they do not dangle.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

This feature is particularly valuable when transitioning between softwoods and hardwoods, ensuring optimal sanding results.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Grizzly G0492 is its user-friendly design. The machine includes a built-in digital thickness gauge that allows for precise adjustments, ensuring consistent thickness throughout the sanding process. This not only saves time but also minimizes the risk of damaging the workpiece.

Additionally, the G0492 is equipped with a dust collection system that efficiently captures sanding debris, promoting a cleaner workspace and enhancing air quality. This feature is essential in maintaining a safe and comfortable working environment, which is often overlooked in woodworking.

Durability is a hallmark of Grizzly tools, and the G0492 is no exception. Constructed with heavy-duty steel frames and components, this dual-drum sander is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use.

In summary, the Grizzly G0492 combines powerful performance, ease of use, and advanced features into a compact machine that meets the demands of serious woodworkers.
