Safety Instructions For Power Tools
SECTION 1: SAFETY
5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS
AWAY. All children and visitors should be
kept a safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE WORK SHOP CHILD PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations, or where any flammable or
noxious fumes may exist. Keep work area
well lighted.
For Your Own Safety Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating This Equipment
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be
used to alert against unsafe practices.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information
about proper operation of the equipment.
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.
This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level
of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below.
Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing
and changing accessories, such as blades,
bits, cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off
position before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

Additional Safety Instructions For The
Vertical Milling Machine
9. ALWAYS use a brush to remove chips
after the cutter has stopped. Never use a
rag to remove chips.
10. NEVER operate mill if any part is damaged
or broken until it is properly repaired or
replaced.
11. BE SURE cutter, workpiece and machine
parts have proper working clearance
throughout the range of motion you intend
to use.
12. NEVER place your fingers in a position
where drill or cutter could contact them if a
part shifts unexpectedly. Serious personal
injury could result.
13. NEVER perform layout, assembly, or
setup work on the mill while a bit or cutter
is rotating.
14. SHUT OFF POWER, remove drill or cut-
ting tool, and clean tool before leaving
machine.
1. DO NOT use until unit is completely
assembled and installed according to
instructions.
2. DO NOT use the mill until all controls and
adjustments are understood.
3. BE SURE drill bit or cutter is securely
locked in the chuck, collet or holder.
4. ALWAYS USE THE RECOMMENDED
SPEEDS and feeds with milling cutters
and drill bits.
5. ADJUST TABLE OR DEPTH STOP to
prevent drilling into table work surface.
6. KEEP FLOOR AREA around the mill free
from oil, tools, and chips.
7. NEVER USE YOUR HANDS TO HOLD
WORKPIECE during milling or drilling.
Clamp it to work surface or use a vise to
secure workpiece and prevent rotation.
8. NEVER HANDLE SHARP CUTTERS with
bare hands. Paper towels or shop rags
wrapped around them will help to avoid
injury.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can cause
eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or
goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards
of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G1004/G1008 Milling
Machine. Accidents are frequently caused
by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution
to lessen the possibility of operator injury.
If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury
may occur.

110V Operation
The motor supplied with the G1004/G1008 is a
dual-voltage 110/120V or 220/240V motor. (For
information on operating at 220V, see the section
following entitled 220V Operation.) Under normal
use, the motor draws approximately 16 amps @
110V, therefore it should be connected to a circuit
that is protected by a 20 amp fuse or circuit
breaker. This should be satisfactory for normal
use, while providing enough protection against
motor damage caused by power surges. Grizzly
recommends that the circuit you use should be
dedicated, (i.e., the G1004 or G1008 should provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent
circuit failures occur when using the milling
machine, contact our service department or your
local electrical contractor. You are cautioned that
equipment returned to us for service that shows
evidence of being over-fused will be repaired or
replaced totally at the customer’s expense,
regardless of the present warranty status.
It is also necessary to connect a cord and plug to
the machine. Be sure that both the plug and cord
are rated at 20 amps and must include a grounding wire. See Figure 1.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Grounding
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool must be equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor which must be properly connected to a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Figure 1. Grounded plug configuration.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model G1004/G1008, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.
Refer to the chart in the standard safety instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the
extension cord.
The extension cord must also contain a ground
wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn.
Extension Cords
Potential for electrical shock hazard, this
equipment must be grounded. Verify that
any existing electrical outlet and circuit you
intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is
not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12
A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet
to a known ground. Under no circumstances
should the grounding pin from any threepronged plug be removed. Serious personal
injury may occur.
