Additional Safety for Dust Collectors

1.MACHINE USE. Do not use this dust collec- tor to pick up liquids and metal scraps, includ- ing, but not limited to, nails and filings. Also, do not pick up material which cannot safely pass through the impeller such as solid wood scraps.

2.KEEPING FINGERS SAFE. Do not place your hands or tools near the open inlet during operation. The moving impeller could cause serious damage to body parts if touched while spinning.

3.SAFE SERVICING. Disconnect power and allow the impeller to come to a complete stop before servicing or working on the dust col- lector ducting system.

4.SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND IGNI- TION SOURCES. Do not operate the dust collector in areas where explosion risks would be high if dust were dispersed into the area. Areas of high risk include, but are not lim- ited to, areas near pilot lights and/or open flames.

5.DUST HAZARD. Be aware that certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals, especially when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to in case of an allergic reaction. Always wear an approved respirator during and for a short time after machine operation!

6.AVOIDING FIRES. Do not allow steel to strike against impeller—this may produce a spark. Sparks can smolder in wood dust for a long time before fire or flame is detected. If metal contacts metal during operation, immediately turn off the dust collector, flip the disconnect switch and wait for all mov- ing parts to stop. Remove collection bags and empty the dust into an approved air tight metal container in case of spark. Remedy the metal to metal contact problem before resuming operation.

7.OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties perform- ing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our Tech Support or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

8.CLEANING AIR. Do not confuse this dust collector with an air cleaner. This dust col- lector is only designed to collect dust from a machine, not clean dust suspended in the air.

9.EMPTYING DUST. When emptying dust from the collection bags or drum, wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust into an approved container and dispose of properly.

Like all machines there is danger associ- ated with this dust collector. 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.

G0638, G0637 specifications

The Grizzly G0637 and G0638 are two robust woodworking machines designed to cater to both amateur woodworkers and seasoned professionals. These models stand out for their precision, durability, and versatility, making them ideal for various woodworking applications.

One of the main features of the Grizzly G0637 is its powerful 3 HP motor, which provides ample power for cutting through different types of wood with ease. This capability makes it suitable for heavy-duty tasks, including jointing and planing thick lumber. On the other hand, the G0638 model boasts a twin-knife cutterhead for enhanced efficiency, providing smooth finishes and improved stock removal rates. This feature is particularly useful for woodworkers who require high-quality outputs in less time.

When it comes to technology, both models incorporate advanced engineering principles to ensure operational stability. The Grizzly G0637 features a precision-ground cast-iron table designed for flatness, contributing to accurate results. This table is also fitted with an integrated dust collection system, which helps maintain a clean workspace by minimizing sawdust accumulation during operations. The G0638 model enhances this design with a spiral cutterhead, featuring multiple carbide inserts that provide a cleaner cut and longer life than traditional blades.

Another notable characteristic of both models is their user-friendly design. The height adjustment knobs are conveniently placed for easy access, allowing users to quickly adjust the cutting height without disrupting workflow. Additionally, both machines are equipped with oversized handwheels that enable fine adjustments, ensuring that every cut meets precise specifications.

Safety is another important aspect of the Grizzly G0637 and G0638 models. Each machine includes features such as anti-kickback pawls and blade guards, which promote safe operation while handling various stock types. The solid construction of these machines also minimizes vibrations, further enhancing stability and safety during use.

In conclusion, the Grizzly G0637 and G0638 represent the pinnacle of woodworking machinery, combining power, precision, and user-friendly features. Their innovative technologies and solid construction make them a valuable addition to any workshop, allowing woodworkers to achieve exceptional results in their projects. Whether you're jointing edges or planing surfaces, these machines are designed to enhance performance and elevate craftsmanship.
