SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY & SETUP

MountingChucks

This lathe should be securely mounted to a stand or bench top. An accessory stand is available from Grizzly, please see our current catalog for pricing. There are 2 holes in the base at the tail- stock end of the lathe and four holes on the gear- head end which can be used to secure the machine to a stand.

The lathe does not require a great deal of assem- bly. This section details the installation of the var- ious accessory holding devices. The following section will familiarize you with the controls for your new lathe. After you have completed both of these sections we will do a test run of the machine. Do not attempt a test run until you have become familiar with both of these sections.

DO NOT attempt to start this machine until you have completed all of the assembly and control familiarization steps. When per- forming the assembly steps, ensure that the switch is off and the power is discon- nected. Failure to comply with this could cause inadvertent starting of the machine which can result in serious operator injury.

Lubrication

The G4002/3 is shipped from the factory pre- lubricated. However, it is recommended that you go through the entire lubrication sequence before operating the machine. Review Section 7: Maintenance for lubrication instructions.

Lubrication must be completed before you start your new lathe.

The Model G4002/3 Metal Lathe comes equipped with a 6'' 3-jaw chuck (already installed), a 8'' 4- jaw chuck and a face plate.

The 3-jaw chuck is a scroll-type chuck, meaning that all three jaws move in unison when adjust- ments are made. The 4-jaw chuck, on the other hand, features independent jaws. The 4-jaw chuck is used for square or unevenly-shaped stock.

The 3 and 4-jaw chucks have a D-1 Camlock mount. Please note that there are lines stamped into the cam and on the chuck body. A chuck key is used to turn the locking cams as in Figure 2.

ALWAYS place a piece of plywood over the ways of the lathe before removing or installing a chuck. This helps by covering the sharp corners of the bed, protecting your hands and fingers. Use extreme care when removing or installing a chuck so that your hands do not become trapped between the chuck and the plywood.
