Additional Safety Instructions for 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 G0613/14. 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.

Known for their robust construction and versatility, these machines provide superior performance in various woodworking applications, making them essential tools in any workshop.

The Grizzly G0613 is a 15-inch spiral head planer that stands out with its powerful 3HP motor capable of delivering exceptional cutting performance. One of its main features is the spiral cutterhead, which contains a series of sharp, durable carbide inserts that minimize tear-out and produce a smoother finish on the workpiece.

It is powered by a 2HP motor and features a traditional straight knife cutterhead, making it a reliable choice for those looking for an efficient planer without the excess weight. The G0614 is designed for convenience, boasting a compact size that allows for easy transport between job sites. Both models are equipped with a solid cast iron base that minimizes vibration during operation, ensuring precision and accuracy.

Key characteristics of both the G0613 and G0614 include an easy-to-use height adjustment mechanism, allowing for smooth raising and lowering of the cutterhead to achieve the desired thickness. Additionally, the user-friendly controls are intuitively positioned, making adjustments quick and efficient. The dust collection ports integrated into each machine promote a cleaner workspace by effectively capturing wood shavings and debris during operation.

Moreover, both planers are designed for durability. The heavy-duty construction materials, along with precision-machined parts, ensure that these machines can withstand the rigors of daily use in demanding environments. With a comprehensive warranty and excellent customer service from Grizzly, users can trust these planers to deliver consistent performance over the years.

Overall, the Grizzly G0613 and G0614 are excellent options for woodworkers seeking high-quality planing solutions that combine advanced technology, ease of use, and durable construction.
