SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE

GeneralLubrication

Before performing any type of inspection or maintenance work on this lathe, be sure that the power cord is unplugged and all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Serious personal injury may occur.

Make a habit of inspecting your lathe each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Bed

The bed and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G1067Z should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the lathe clean after every use ensures that moisture from wood dust isn’t allowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur- faces.

The G1067Z Lathe is equipped with a split pulley system which allows the speed of the lathe to be changed while its running. To assure the smooth operation of this pulley system, we recommend the main spindle and motor spindle be greased occasionally. To do this, remove the pulley cover, vacuum out any saw dust and apply grease to the spots indicated in Figure 24. Disposable acid brushes work best to get into these hard to reach places.

Figure 24.

Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. In a con- tinuous-use environment, expect the bearings to last for several years. With intermittent use, bear- ings can be expected to last much longer. All bearings are common sizes and can be easily obtained.

This premium table saw combines functionality, innovation, and convenience to deliver exceptional performance in various cutting tasks. Tailored for both hobbyists and serious woodworkers, the G1067Z stands out with its robust engineering and comprehensive features.

At the heart of the Grizzly G1067Z is a potent 2 HP motor, providing ample power to handle a wide range of materials including hardwood, softwood, and plywood. The motor drives a 10-inch blade, which can be adjusted for both height and angle, allowing for precise cuts in any scenario. With a maximum rip capacity of 30 inches to the right, and 12 inches to the left, users can confidently cut larger sheets of material without compromising accuracy.

One of the signature features of the G1067Z is its built-in gravity rise stand. This unique design not only offers stability during use but also allows for easy maneuverability and storage. The stand raises and lowers with minimal effort, ensuring that the table saw is always at the right height for the user, promoting ergonomics and reducing fatigue during extended projects.

Safety is a top priority with the Grizzly G1067Z. It comes equipped with an easy-to-access emergency shut-off switch, ensuring the user can quickly halt operation in case of unexpected situations. Additionally, the table saw includes a riving knife and blade guard, which help to prevent kickback and enhance user safety during cutting tasks.

Another notable characteristic of the G1067Z is its precision-engineered table surface, crafted from high-quality cast iron. This ensures maximum flatness and stability, contributing to accurate cuts. The extension wings provide additional surface area, essential for larger projects, while the integrated miter gauge and fence system offers straightforward adjustments for repeated accuracy.

In summary, the Grizzly G1067Z table saw is an outstanding choice for anyone serious about woodworking. Its powerful motor, innovative features, and commitment to safety and precision make it a cornerstone tool in any workshop.
