TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper- ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, dis- connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use???especially around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machin- ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always discon- nect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece mate- rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear- ing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose???do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifica- tions???modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur- ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner???s manual or the manufacturer for rec- ommended accessories. Using improper acces- sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts???or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect- ing cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug???NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intend- ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

CHECK WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Verify each workpiece is free of knots, splits, nails, or foreign material to ensure it can safely rotate on spindle without breaking apart or causing tool kickback.

PROPERLY PREPARE WORKPIECE.

Before mounting, cut off waste portions to balance workpiece for safe rotation and remove large edges that can catch on tooling.

SECURE LOCKS. Verify tool rest, headstock, and tailstock are secure before turning lathe ON.

SECURE WORKPIECE. Use proven setup techniques and always verify workpiece is well-secured before starting lathe. Only use high-quality fasteners with non-tapered heads for faceplate attachment.

ADJUST TOOL SUPPORT. An improperly sup- ported tool may be grabbed or ejected. Adjust tool rest approximately 1???4" away from workpiece and 1???8" above workpiece center line to provide proper support for turning tool. Firmly hold turning tool with both hands against tool rest.

TEST NEW SETUPS. Test each new setup by starting spindle rotation at lowest speed and standing to side of lathe until workpiece reaches full speed and you can verify safe rotation.

REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Remove all chuck keys, wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning lathe ON. These items can become deadly projectiles when spindle is started.

CHECK CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle, verify workpiece has adequate clearance by hand-rotating it through its entire range of motion.

WEAR PROPER PPE. Always wear a face shield and safety glasses when operating lathe. Do not wear gloves, necktie or loose clothing. Keep long hair away from rotating spindle.

USE CORRECT SPEEDS. Select correct spindle speed for workpiece size, type, shape, and condition. Use low speeds when roughing or when turning large, long, or non-concentric workpieces. Allow spindle to reach full speed before turning.

AVOID TOOL KICKBACK. This occurs when turning tool is grabbed or ejected from workpiece with great force. Commonly caused by poor workpiece selection/preparation, improper tool usage, or improper machine setup or tool rest adjustment.

SAFELY PERFORM ROUGHING. Use correct tool. Take light cuts, use low speeds, and firmly support tool with both hands.

USE SHARP TOOLS. Sharp tools cut with less resistance than dull tools. Using dull tools increases the risk of tool kickback or grabbing.

SAFELY STOPPING ROTATION. Always allow rotating workpiece to stop on its own. Never put hands or another object on workpiece to stop it.

SAFELY MEASURE WORKPIECE. Only measure workpiece after it has stopped. Trying to measure a spinning workpiece increases entanglement risk.

SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce entanglement risk, remove tool rest before sanding. Never completely wrap sandpaper around workpiece.

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the avail- ability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or equipment damage may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and connected to the power supply.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result??? especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over- loading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.

Circuit Information

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power sup- ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

For your own safety and protection of property, consult an electrician if you are unsure about wiring practices or electrical codes in your area.

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit???where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, con- sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Circuit Requirements

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DO NOT modify the provided plug!

Figure 4. Typical 6-15 plug and receptacle.

No adapter should be used with plug. If plug does not fit available receptacle, or if machine must be reconnected for use on a different type of circuit, reconnection must be performed by an electrician or qualified service personnel, and it must comply with all local codes and ordinances.

-12-

Serious injury could occur if you connect machine to power before completing setup process. DO NOT connect to power until instructed later in this manual.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec- essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per- sonnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon- nect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:

Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven- tative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufac- turer???s instructions with any cleaning product you use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

???Disposable rags

???Cleaner/degreaser (WD???40 works well)

???Safety glasses & disposable gloves

???Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1.Put on safety glasses.

2.Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5???10 minutes.

3.Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas- er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe off the rest with the rag.

4.Repeat Steps 2???3 as necessary until clean, then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal protectant to prevent rust.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avoid using these products to clean machinery.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Only work in a well-ventilated area.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may damage painted surfaces.

Weight Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest work- piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the main- tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Children or untrained people may be seriously injured by this machine. Only install in an access restricted location.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is operated is important for safe operation and lon- gevity of machine components. For best results, operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi- cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are generally those where the ambient temperature range exceeds 41?????104??F; the relative humidity range exceeds 20%???95% (non-condensing); or the environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.

Electrical Installation

Place this machine near an existing power source. Make sure all power cords are protected from traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space around machine to disconnect power supply or apply a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate enough that operations can be performed safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Anchoring to Floor

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during operation, resulting in a machine that runs slightly quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect- ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may require that it be anchored to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, fastening the machine to the floor is an optional step. If you choose not to do this with your machine, we rec- ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these provide an easy method for leveling and they have vibration-absorbing pads.

Anchoring to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below) are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con- crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move the machine later, if needed. However, anytime local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring methodology specified by the code.

Figure 10. Popular method for anchoring machinery to a concrete floor.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov- ice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so the machine controls/components discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.

Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more about specific operations, read this entire manual and seek additional training from expe- rienced machine operators, and do additional research outside of this manual by reading "how- to" books, trade magazines, or websites.

To reduce your risk of serious injury, read this entire manual BEFORE using machine.

Eye injuries or respiratory problems can occur while operating this tool. Wear per- sonal protective equipment to reduce your risk from these hazards.

If you are not experienced with this type of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any proj- ects. Regardless of the content in this sec- tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.

-20-

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:

1.Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit- able for turning. No extreme bows, knots, or cracks should exist.

2.Prepares and trims up workpiece with a bandsaw or table saw to make it roughly con- centric.

3.Installs workpiece between centers, or attach- es it to faceplate or chuck.

4.Adjusts tool rest to 1???8" above workpiece centerline, and sets minimum clearance between workpiece and lip of tool rest to 1???4" gap.

5.Rotates workpiece by hand to verify spindle and workpiece rotate freely throughout full range of motion.

6.Verifies pulley ratio is set for type of wood and size of workpiece installed.

7.Verifies spindle speed dial is turned all the way counterclockwise so spindle does not start in high speed.

8.Verifies spindle direction switch is set for cor- rect direction.

9.Puts on safety glasses, face shield, and res- pirator.

10.Turns lathe ON, adjusts lathe speed, and carefully begins turning operation, keeping chisel against tool rest entire time it is cutting.

11.Turns lathe OFF when cutting operation is complete.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

Workpiece Inspection

Some workpieces are not safe to turn or may require modification before they are safe to turn.

Before turning, inspect all workpieces for the following:

???Workpiece Type:

This machine is intended for turning natural wood products. Never attempt to turn any composite wood materials, plastics, metal, stone, or rubber workpieces; turning these materials can lead to machine damage or severe injury.

???Foreign Objects:

Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects can become dislodged and hit the operator, cause tool grab, or break the turning tool, which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect your workpiece for these items. If they can't be removed, DO NOT turn the workpiece.

???Large/Loose Knots:

Loose knots can become dislodged during the turning operation. Large knots can cause a workpiece to completely break in half during turning and cause machine damage and injury. Choose workpieces that do not have large/loose knots.

???Excessive Warping:

Workpieces with excessive bowing or twist- ing are unstable and unbalanced. Never turn these workpieces at high speed, or instability will be magnified and the workpiece can be ejected from the lathe causing injury. Only turn concentric workpieces!

Adjusting Headstock

The Model G0766 headstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up underneath the bed and secures the tailstock in place. The headstock can be positioned anywhere along the lathe bed.

To position headstock along length of bed:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Loosen headstock lock lever (see Figure 16).

Headstock Lock

Lever

Figure 16. Headstock lock lever location.

3.Slide headstock to desired location on bed, and use headstock lock lever to secure head- stock in position.

Note: The large clamping hex nut underneath the headstock will require occasional adjust- ing to ensure proper clamping pressure of the headstock to the bed. Turn this hex nut in small increments to fine tune the clamping pressure as needed.

Always operate lathe with headstock firmly locked to bed. Otherwise, serious personal injury may occur, as workpiece or faceplate could shift during operation or be ejected from lathe.

Adjusting Tailstock

The tailstock adjusts in the same manner as the headstock.

To position tailstock along length of bed:

1.Loosen tailstock lock lever and move tailstock to desired position along bed, as shown in

Figure 17.

Tailstock Lock

Lever

Figure 17. Tailstock lock lever location.

2.Re-tighten tailstock lock lever to secure tailstock to bed.

Note: The large clamping hex nut underneath the tailstock will require occasional adjusting to ensure proper clamping pressure of the tailstock to the bed. Turn this hex nut in small increments to fine tune the clamping pres- sure as needed.

Always operate lathe with tailstock firmly locked to bed. Otherwise, serious personal injury may occur by tailstock moving during operation and workpiece being ejected at high speed.

-22-

Adjusting Tool Rest

The tool rest assembly consists of two compo- nents: the tool rest base (or banjo) and the tool rest. The tool rest base moves forward/backward and along the length of the lathe bed. The tool rest rotates and moves up and down in the tool rest base. Locks for both components allow you to secure the tool rest in position as needed after making these adjustments.

When adjusting the tool rest, position it as close as possible to the workpiece without actually touching it. This maximizes support where the cutting occurs and minimizes leverage, reducing the risk of injury if a "catch" occurs.

Many woodturners typically set the height of the tool rest 1???8" above or below the centerline of the workpiece, depending on their height, the type of tool they're using, and the type of operation they're performing. As a rule of thumb: For most (spindle) turning operations, the cutting tool should con- tact the workpiece slightly above centerline. For most inside (bowl) turning operations, the cutting tool should contact the workpiece slightly below centerline.

Keeping all these factors in mind, your main goal when adjusting the tool rest should be providing maximum support for the type of tool being used, in a position that is safe and comfortable for you.

Improperly supported or positioned cutting tools can "catch" on workpiece, ejecting tool from your hands with great force. To reduce this risk, always ensure tool rest is properly positioned for each type of opera- tion, cutting tool is firmly supported against tool rest BEFORE cutting, and cutting tool is properly positioned to cut at the correct angle for tool and operation type.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

To position tool rest forward/backward and along the length of the bed:

1.Loosen tool rest base lock lever and move tool rest assembly to desired position on lathe bed, as shown in Figure 18.

Note: To maximize support, the tool rest base should always be locked on both sides of the bed. Never pull the tool rest so far back that it is only secured on one side.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

7.With workpiece still attached, insert spur cen- ter into headstock spindle (refer to Installing/ Removing Headstock Center on Page 24 for additional instructions).

Note: Use tool rest to support opposite end of workpiece so that workpiece and spur center do not separate during installation.

8.Install live center into tailstock quill and tight- en quill lock handle to lock quill in position (refer to Page 25 for additional instructions).

9.Slide tailstock toward workpiece until point of live center touches workpiece center mark, then lock tailstock in this position.

10.Loosen quill lock handle and rotate tailstock handwheel to push live center into workpiece at least 1???4".

Do not press the workpiece too firmly with the tailstock or the bearings will bind and overheat. Do not adjust the tailstock too loosely or the workpiece will spin off the lathe. Use good judgment and care, other- wise, serious personal injury could result from the workpiece being ejected at high speeds.

11.Properly adjust tool rest to workpiece (see

Adjusting Tool Rest on Page 22).

12.Before beginning lathe operation, rotate workpiece by hand to ensure there is safe clearance on all sides.

Keep lathe tool resting on tool rest the ENTIRE time it is in contact with workpiece or when preparing to make contact between lathe tool and workpiece. Otherwise, spin- ning workpiece could force lathe tool out of your hands or entangle your hands with workpiece. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

Spindle Turning Tips:

???When turning the lathe ON, stand away from the path of the spinning workpiece until the spindle reaches full speed and you can verify that the workpiece will not come loose.

???Use the slowest speed when starting or stop- ping the lathe.

???Select the right speed for the size of workpiece that you are turning (refer to Figure 25 on

Page 26).

???Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the ENTIRE time that it is in contact with the workpiece.

???Learn the correct techniques for each tool you will use. If you are unsure about how to use the lathe tools, read books or magazines about lathe techniques, and seek training from experienced and knowledgeable lathe users.

Eye injuries or respiratory problems can occur while operating this tool. Wear per- sonal protective equipment to reduce your risk from these hazards.

-30-

Faceplate Turning

Faceplate turning is when a workpiece is mounted to the faceplate, which is then mounted to the headstock spindle, as shown in Figure 36. This type of turning is usually done with open-faced workpieces like bowls or plates.

Figure 36. Typical faceplate turning operation.

Mounting Workpiece on Faceplate

1.Mark workpiece center in same manner as described in Spindle Turning (see Page 28).

Note: Cut off corners of workpiece to make it as close to "round" as possible, as described in Spindle Turning, Step 5 (see Page 29).

2.Center faceplate on workpiece and attach it (see Figure 37) with wood screws.

Figure 37. Typical attachment of faceplate to workpiece.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

NOTICE

Only use screws with non-tapered heads (see Figure 38) to attach faceplate to the workpiece. Screws with tapered heads can split faceplate or snap off during operation.

Figure 38. Correct and incorrect screw types.

3.Thread and secure faceplate onto headstock spindle (refer to Installing Faceplate on Page 26).

???If wood screws cannot be placed in workpiece, faceplate can be mounted to a backing block attached to workpiece (see

Mounting the Workpiece to a Backing Block).

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

Mounting Workpiece to Backing Block

1.Make backing block from a suitable size piece of scrap wood.

Note: Faces of backing block must be flat and parallel to each other, or uneven surfac- es will cause workpiece to spin eccentrically, causing unnecessary vibration and runout. It is best to mount backing block to faceplate and turn other surface flat prior to mounting.

2.Locate and mark center of workpiece and backing block.

3.Drill a 1???4" hole through center of backing block.

4.Look through hole in backing block to line up center with workpiece and glue and clamp backing block to workpiece.

Note: Allow glue to cure according to manu- facturer's instructions.

5.Follow Steps 1???3 under Mounting Workpiece on Faceplate (see Page 30) to attach backing block to faceplate.

Outboard Turning

Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turning and is accomplished with the headstock positioned so the faceplate is not directly over the bed, allowing a larger turning capacity than the swing specification of the lathe.

The only way to rotate the headstock on this machine is to remove it from the bed first, which can be a heavy and cumbersome task. A much simpler alternative to removing the headstock is to remove the tailstock and slide the headstock to the other end of the bed. This will position the spindle so it is not directly over the bed whereby outboard turning can safely be accomplished.

-31-

To outboard turn:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Remove tailstock and tool base from machine by removing hex nuts and clamp washers located underneath assemblies, then lifting them from lathe bed.

3.Loosen headstock, then move it all the way to tail end of lathe bed, as shown in Figure 39.

Figure 39. Example of lathe prepared for outboard turning.

4.Re-tighten headstock to bed.

Sanding/Finishing

After the turning operations are complete, the workpiece can be sanded and finished before removing it from the lathe, as shown in Figure 40.

Figure 40. Typical sanding operation.

Note: Whenever sanding or finishing, move tool rest holder out of the way to increase personal safety and gain adequate working room.

When outboard turning, ALWAYS use a floor-mounted tool rest and keep tool in contact with rest during all turning opera- tions. Failure to do so could cause tool to be pulled out of operator's control and ejected at high speed.

Sandpaper

Workpiece

Wrapping sandpa- per completely around workpiece could pull your hands into mov- ing workpiece and may cause serious injury. Never wrap sandpa- per or finishing materi- als completely around workpiece.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

Selecting Turning

Tools

Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and usually fall into five major categories.

???Gouges???Mainly used for rough cutting, detail cutting, and cove profiles. The rough gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with a round nose, and the detail gouge is a hol- low, double-ground tool with either a round or pointed nose.

Figure 41. Example of a gouge.

???Skew Chisel???A very versatile tool that can be used for planing, squaring, V-cutting, beading, and parting off. The skew chisel is flat, double-ground with one side higher than the other (usually at an angle of 20?????40??).

Figure 42. Example of a skew chisel.

???Scrapers???Typically used where access for other tools is limited, such as hollowing oper- ations. This is a flat, double-ground tool that comes in a variety of profiles (round nose, spear point, square nose, etc.) to match many different contours.

Figure 43. Example of a round nose scraper.

???Parting Tools???Used for sizing and cut- ting off work. This is a flat tool with a sharp pointed nose that may be single- or double- ground.

Figure 44. Example of a parting tool.

???Specialty Tools???These are the unique, special function tools to aid in hollowing, bowl making, cutting profiles, etc. The Swan Neck Hollowing Tool shown on Page 34 is a good example of a speciality tool.

Installing unapproved accessories may cause machine to malfunction, resulting in serious personal injury or machine damage. To reduce this risk, only install accessories recommended for this machine by Grizzly.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

Cleaning &

Protecting

Cleaning the Model G0766 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces by wip- ing them clean after every use???this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep the surfaces rust-free with regular applications of products like G96?? Gun Treatment, SLIPIT??, or Boeshield?? T-9 (see Page 36 for more details).

Lubrication

All bearings for the Model G0766 are lubricated and sealed at the factory, and do not need addi- tional lubrication.

Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside of the headstock spindle. DO NOT allow any oil to get on the inside mating surfaces of the spindle.

Use the tailstock handwheel to extend the quill out to the furthest position and apply a thin coat of white lithium grease to the outside of the quill. DO NOT allow any oil or grease to get on the inside mating surfaces of the quill.
