Operation Safety

Read and follow these safety precautions:

Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection when operating this machine.

Loose hair and cloth-

ing could get caught in

machinery and cause seri-

ous personal injury. Keep

loose clothing and long

hair away from moving machinery.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Wear eye protection and a face shield during all turning operations.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always wear a respirator when using this tool. Wood dust may cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long hair and loose clothing such as sleeves, belts, and jewelry items away from the workpiece and chuck.

WORKPIECE CONDITION. Always inspect the condition of your workpiece. NEVER turn stock with knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous conditions. All glued joints must have high quality bonds that will not fly apart during operation.

MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting, be certain the drive and spur centers have been properly imbedded into the workpiece, and that the table is locked in place.

USING TOOL REST. NEVER attempt free-hand turning, you must always support the chisel on the tool rest, and keep the tool rest gap to 18" to 12" when ever possible.

TURNING SPEED. Select the correct tuning speed for your work before starting the drill press.

USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep chisels sharp. Dull chisels require more force to cut, causing tool chatter and grabbing hazards.

MATERIAL REMOVAL. Attempting to remove too much wood at once may cause the workpiece or chisel to eject causing severe injury.

NOTICE

If you have never used this type of machine or equipment before, We strongly rec- ommend that you read books, trade maga- zines, or get formal training before begin- ning any projects. Regardless of the con- tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.

Sandpaper

Workpiece

Wrapping the sandpa- per completely around the workpiece will pull your hands into the mov- ing workpiece and may cause injury. Never wrap sandpaper completely around the workpiece!
