Grizzly G1778 manual III. Safety Rules for ALL Tools

The information in this manual has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable and as up-to- date as possible. We have focused primarily on the proper assembly and adjustment of your power feeder – as well as some basic information on using the power feeder on specific machines. We have also included some important safety measures which we believe to be essential to this machine’s operation. While most safety measures are generally universal, Grizzly cautions that each workshop is different and safety rules should be considered as they apply to your individual situa- tion.

The primary function of the Model G1778 is to provide automated material handling capabilities for your shaper or table saw. Feed speed is controlled by interchangeable gear systems which allow you to customize the motor-to-drive wheel ratio – giving you six possible speeds to choose from, ranging from 16 to 52 feet-per-minute (FPM).

We recommend that your keep a current copy of the Grizzly catalog for complete information regard- ing Grizzly warranty and return policy. Should you need additional technical information relating to this machine, parts, or general assistance, please contact the appropriate regional service depart- ment.

We also believe that additional information sources are very important to help you realize the full potential of your woodworking equipment. Trade journals, woodworking magazines, woodworking clubs and your local library all excellent sources of information.

III. SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS

WARNING! As with all power tools, there is a certain amount of inherent danger associated with the Model G1778 Power Feeder. Using the tool with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of mechanical damage or operator injury. However, if normal safety precautions are over- looked or ignored, injury to the operator or others in the area is possible.

There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. We strongly emphasize that this tool should never be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you are confused about any aspect of this machine, do not use it until you have resolved any questions you might have. The following are important safety rules for all tools:

1.KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as its particular hazards.

2.KEEP GUARDS AND INSERTS IN PLACE and in working order.

3.GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole grounded outlet. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the grounding prong.

4.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and adjust- ing wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

5.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

6.AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work area well lighted.
