Additional Safety Instructions for Metal

Cutting Bandsaws

1.BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull, cracked or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use.

2.HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fin- gers or thumbs in line with the cut. Hands could be crushed in vise or by falling machine components or cut by the blade.

3.ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate this bandsaw without blade guard in place. Otherwise, loose clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn into working parts.

4.BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades, make sure teeth face toward the workpiece. Wear gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to protect eyes.

5.WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always sup- port the workpiece with table, vise, or other support fixture. Flag long pieces to avoid a tripping hazard. Never hold the workpiece with your hands during a cut.

6.LOSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported workpieces may jeopardize machine sta- bility and cause the machine to tip and fall, which could cause serious injury.

7.POWER INTERRUPTION. Unplug machine after power interruption. Machines without magnetic switches can start up after power is restored.

8.FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cutting magnesium. Using the wrong cut- ting fluid will lead to chip fire and possible explosion.

9.CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Always follow manufacturer’s cutting fluid safety instruc- tions. Pay particular attention to contact, contamination, inhalation, storage and dis- posal warnings. Spilled cutting fluid is a slipping hazard and a toxicity hazard.

10.ATTENTION TO WORK AREA. Never leave a machine running and unattended. Pay attention to the actions of others in the area to avoid unintended accidents.

11.MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspec- tions, adjustments, and maintenance are to be done with the machine OFF and the power disconnected to the machine. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.

12.HEARING PROTECTION & HAZARDS. Noise generated by blade and workpiece vibration, material handling, and power transmission can cause permanent hear- ing loss over time and interfere with com- munication and audible signals. Always wear hearing protection.

13.HOT SURFACES. Due to friction, the workpiece, chips, and some machine com- ponents can be hot enough to burn you.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Like all machines there is danger associated with the Model G0592. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

G0592 specifications

The Grizzly G0592 is a high-performance milling machine designed to meet the demands of both professional and hobbyist woodworkers. Known for its robust construction and precise engineering, this machine combines versatility with durability, making it an essential tool for any woodworking shop.

One of the standout features of the G0592 is its powerful motor, which offers a significant amount of torque, enabling it to handle a variety of materials with ease. The machine is equipped with a 3 HP motor that operates on 220V single-phase power, providing consistent performance for heavy-duty milling tasks. This high power helps to minimize stalling or bogging down during operation, ensuring smooth and efficient cutting.

The G0592 also boasts a generous working table made from precision-ground cast iron, measuring 9” x 49”. This extensive surface area allows for the handling of larger workpieces and offers ample space for stock support. The table is fitted with T-slots, allowing for easy attachment of jigs, fixtures, and clamping tools, enhancing the versatility of the machine.

Another notable characteristic is its adjustable dovetail ways, which provide enhanced stability and precision during operation. This design helps in maintaining alignment and reduces wear on the machine over time. Additionally, the G0592 features a variable speed drive that allows users to adjust the spindle speed from 60 to 4,000 RPM, accommodating various cutting applications ranging from heavy milling to delicate engraving.

The head of the G0592 is also a significant aspect of its design. It can be swiveled up to 90 degrees, facilitating angular cuts and increasing the range of milling operations possible. Moreover, the machine includes a digital readout (DRO) for both the table and spindle positions, providing real-time feedback and enhanced accuracy during operations.

Safety features, such as an emergency stop button and a protective enclosure around the spindle, are integrated into the G0592 to ensure a safe working environment. Overall, the Grizzly G0592 is engineered for those who value precision and performance in their milling tasks, making it a reliable choice in both professional and amateur settings. Its robust build, ample features, and user-friendly design distinguish it as a leading option in the milling machine market.
