To operate this, or any power tool, safely and effi- ciently, it is essential to become as familiar with its characteristics as possible. Take as much time as necessary to become acquainted with the Model G1021. The time you invest before you begin to use your machine will be time well spent. Also, read all of the safety procedures. If you do not understand something, DO NOT operate the machine.

The specifications, drawings, and photographs illustrated in this manual represent the Model G1021 as supplied when the manual was pre- pared. However, owing to Grizzly’s policy of con- tinuous improvement, changes may be made at any time with no obligation on the part of Grizzly. Whenever possible, though, we send manual updates to all owners of a particular tool or machine. Should you receive one, we urge you to insert the new information with the old and keep it for reference.

NOTE

The information in this manual has been obtained from sources we believe to be reli- able and as up-to-date as possible. We have included some important safety measures we believe to be essential for safe opera- tion. While most safety measures are gen- erally universal, Grizzly reminds you that each workshop is different and safety rules should be considered as they apply to your specific situation.
