III. SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS
WARNING! As with all power tools, there is a certain amount of inherent danger associated with the
Model G1062 and Model G1063 Bench Grinders. Using the tool with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of mechanical damage and operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, injury to the operator or others in the area is likely.
These grinders are specifically designed to grind steel and iron. We strongly emphasize that this tool
should never be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed.
Modifications or improper use of this tool will void all warranties. 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 ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. 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.
- 2 -
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe dis-
tance away from your work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better and more safely when they are allowed to work at
their own speed.
10. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use a tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not
intended.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry that might
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is also recommended. Wear a hat or other protective head wear if your hair is long.
12. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PROTECTION. Also use a dust mask if the cutting oper-
ation is dusty.
13. SECURE YOUR WORK. Use clamps or a fixture to hold your work. It is safer than using your
hands and frees up both hands for operating the tool.
14. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER before servicing and when changing accessories, such
as blades, bits and cutters.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the current catalog for recommended acces-
sories. The use of improper accessories may be hazardous.
18. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position before plug-
ging in the cord.
19. NEVER STAND OR LEAN ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, any part or guard that is damaged
should be promptly repaired or replaced. Do not operate the machine until you are certain it is
in perfect running condition. Failure to follow this precaution could result in further mechanical
damage and operator injury.
21. DIRECTION OF FEED. Always feed your work against the direction of blade or cutter travel.
Workpieces fed in the same direction as the cutter travel could be forced out of your control.
22. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave the
tool until it comes to a full stop.
- 3 -
23. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate the tool under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol, or any medication. Never operate machinery when overly fatigued.
24. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate machine if you are mentally or physically fatigued.
25. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND, DO NOT OPERATE
MACHINE! Ask for help first. Confusion can be dangerous.
26. BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS. Review all safety procedures often.
IV. UNPACKING
The Model G1062 and Model G1063 are each shipped from the factory in a carefully packed carton.
If you find the machine to be damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and the truck and driver are
already gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight
claim can be difficult. If you need advice regarding this situation, please call us.
Caution: These grinders are relatively heavy in their packaging (approx. 25 lbs. for the G1062 and
35 lbs. for the G1063). DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine.
When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.
V. PIECE INVENTORY
• Bench Grinder
• Tool Rests (1 left and 1 right)
• Eyeshields and mounts (1 left and 1 right)
• Fasteners
VI. ASSEMBLY
To attach the tool rest and eyeshield assemblies:
1. Fasten the tool rest bracket to one of the three threaded holes on the lower inside portion of the
wheel housing. One of the holes is smaller than the others. We recommend using one of the
larger holes to begin with. The variability of the hole size and hole location is provided to give
you added range and flexibility.
2. Adjust the bracket so the tool rest sits flat with enough clearance between it and the wheel to
allow free rotation.
- 4 -
3. Tighten the fasteners until the tool rest is secure. Figure 1.
4. Attach the eyeshield assembly to the threaded hole in the upper inside portion of the wheel
housing with one of the two smaller hex bolts or knobs provided.
5. Attach the eyeshields with the small screws, nuts, and washers provided. Adjust the eyeshield
to suit your needs by loosening the hex bolt or knob and moving to the desired position. Re-
tighten fastener. Figure 2.
Repeat steps 1-5 for the opposite side.
NOTE: The tool rest and eyeshield are designed to minimize the possibility of injury or equipment
damage. DO NOT operate this grinder without installing these pieces. ALWAYS WEAR PROPER
SAFETY DEVICES WHEN OPERATING THIS, OR ANY, MACHINERY. Grizzly Imports carries a
wide assortment of fine protective equipment. See the latest Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering
information.
VII. ELECTRICAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
A. CIRCUIT LOADING
Your Model G1062 and G1063 Bench Grinders are wired for 110/120V, single phase operation; neither can be operated at 220/240V. The
1
/3 H.P. motor on the G1062 will draw 4 amps at 110/120V.
The
3
/4 H.P. motor on the G1063 will draw 8 amps at 110/120V. These are not large loads. However,
if you operate your grinder on a circuit that is close to capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit
breaker. If an unusual load does not exist and power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspected
by a qualified electrician.
- 5 -
Figure 1
Figure 2
B. GROUNDING
This equipment must be grounded. This grinder is equipped with a power cord and plug with a
ground wire. Please ensure that the outlet and circuit you select is wired for 110/120V and is properly grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 AWG copper wire from the outlet
to a known ground. If adding a new circuit, please ensure that the circuit is connected to the grounding terminal in your electric service panel. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin be
removed from any three pronged plug.
C. GENERAL INFORMATION
Fusing: Fuse at 15 amps for 110/120V service. Fuses rated any higher will not adequately protect
this motor.
Extension Cords: If used, extension cords must be rated Hard Service (Grade S) or better.
Conductor size must be 14 AWG for cords up to 50 feet long. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
D. WORD OF CAUTION
In this section we have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of either
the G1062 or G1063 Bench Grinders. As with the safety rules in the preceding section, these
requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. Further, you must be sure that your particular
electrical configuration complies with state and local codes. The best way to ensure compliance is
to check with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
VIII. OPERATION
Your G1062 or G1063 Bench Grinder is an excellent tool for grinding rough edges on a variety of
steel and cast-iron surfaces. It should not be used for aluminum or wood because the wheels will
clog too rapidly.
Both the G1062 and the G1063 turn at a rate of 3,450 RPM. The wheels are capable of generating
enough heat to ruin the temper of metal and make it lose its hardness. When grinding the working
edges of tools, use a very short, light stroke. Do not leave the surface in contact with the wheel long
enough to allow heat to build up. Frequently dip the tool in water to cool it.
IX. GRINDER SAFETY RULES
We have already covered a number of common-sense safety rules earlier in the instruction manual.
Here are some more safety rules to consider before you operate your grinder:
1. NEVER OPERATE THE GRINDER WITH BROKEN WHEELS. The grinding wheels operate at
3,450 RPM. A broken wheel could turn into a missile.
- 6 -
2. NEVER STICK AN OBJECT AGAINST A WHEEL TO STOP THE GRINDER. Let it slow on its
own.
3. ALWAYS USE THE TOOL REST AND SAFETY GUARDS. Supports and guards are essential
for safe grinder operation.
4. USE ONLY PROPERLY SIZED WHEELS. The wrong sized wheel can dangerously increase
or decrease operating speed at the grinding surface. A wheel that is too large could come in
contact with the wheel housing, potentially damaging the machine.
5. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. The grinder can throw off sparks and tiny metal shards.
Use eye protection to avoid operator injury.
6. ADJUST TOOL REST PROPERLY. The grinder has the potential for binding against a work-
piece introduced at an improper angle – and send it flying. Avoid grinding your workpiece at
angles greater than 90° to the direction of wheel travel.
7. ALLOW GRINDER TO REACH FULL SPEED. Let the grinding wheel reach its full operating
speed before using the grinder.
8. SECURE GRINDER. Attach the grinder firmly to your benchtop. Secure attachment will ensure
your grinder will not move when operated.
9. AVOID OVERHEATING WORKPIECE. Excessive or prolonged grinding on a workpiece can
heat it to the point where it becomes dangerous to the operator. Excessive grinding can also
soften your workpiece and ruin its edge.
10. NEVER GRIND SMALL STOCK. Do not attempt to grind or sharpen anything that cannot be
adequately supported by the tool rest. Use clamping pliers or a similar holder when grinding
parts which cannot be held easily by hand.
11. KEEP A CLEAN WORK AREA. The chances of an accident are far less if the area around your
grinder is kept free of clutter.
12. AVOID LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING AND TIE BACK LONG HAIR. A grinder’s spindle, spin-
ning at 3,450 RPM, can suck a tremendous amount of material in a very short time – given the
chance. Don’t give it the chance.
X. MAINTENANCE
Your grinder requires very little maintenance. The bearings are lubricated and sealed at the factory
and require no maintenance during their lifetimes. The grinding wheels will eventually be worn to the
point where replacement is necessary. Grizzly carries a wide assortment of wheel types and grits
designed for this machine. See the latest Grizzly catalog for pricing and ordering information. CAU-
TION: IF YOU DROP A WHEEL, DO NOT EVER USE IT. THE TINY FRACTURES CREATED BY
THE IMPACT COULD CAUSE THE WHEEL TO EXPLODE AND INJURE YOU SEVERELY.
To remove and replace a wheel:
1. Remove the eyeshield and the outside wheel housing cover.
