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 which are intended to convey the level of importance 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.

	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.
	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.

1.READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious injury hazards to untrained users.

2.ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

3.ALWAYS WEAR AN ANSI APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.

4.ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause permanent hearing damage.

5.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to con- tain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.

6.NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.

G7947, G7948 specifications

The Grizzly G7948 and G7947 are powerful, professional-grade milling machines designed for precision metalworking. These models cater to the needs of machinists and hobbyists alike, combining innovation with robust features ideal for various milling tasks.

The Grizzly G7948 is a vertical mill with a large working table, allowing users to handle bigger workpieces efficiently. It features a 2 HP motor, providing a spindle speed range from 50 to 3,000 RPM, enabling operators to tackle a wide range of materials and applications. The G7948’s dovetail column ensures stability and rigidity, minimizing vibrations during operation, which is crucial for achieving precision in milling tasks.

On the other hand, the Grizzly G7947 is a versatile combination of a lathe and a mill, perfect for those looking to maximize functionality in a smaller workspace. It also boasts a robust 1 HP motor, allowing for smooth operation with adjustable spindle speeds, enhancing its versatility. The G7947 is particularly user-friendly, featuring a quick-change tool post that facilitates faster tool swapping and changeovers, which is a significant advantage when working on multiple projects.

Both models come equipped with advanced features such as a digital readout (DRO) system that aids in precision measurements. The DRO provides real-time feedback on the machine's positioning, helping eliminate guesswork and ensuring accuracy. Additionally, the machines' power feed for the table enhances efficiency, making it easier for users to execute repetitive tasks without the strain of manual cranking.

Another notable characteristic of the Grizzly G7948 and G7947 is their user-friendly controls, designed with ergonomics in mind. The intuitive layout ensures that operators can easily navigate through the machine’s settings, allowing for quicker setup times and smoother workflow.

Lastly, the sturdy construction of both milling machines means they are built to withstand rigorous use, making them reliable choices for both industrial applications and serious hobbyists. These models exemplify Grizzly's commitment to quality and performance, making them exceptional additions to any workshop.
