WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind­ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other
masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil­ter out microscopic particles.

Additional Safety Instructions For The Lathe

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 per­sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.

Like all machines there is danger associated
with the Model G1067Z. Accidents are fre­quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail­ure to pay attention. Use this machine with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility
of operator injury. If normal safety precau­tions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.

1. MAKE SURE ALL GUARDS are in place

and that the Lathe sits on a flat, stable sur­face.

2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION or a
face shield when operating the Lathe. All
safety equipment should be ANSI approved.

3. USE A RESPIRATOR TO AVOID INHAL­ING DUST. All safety equipment should be

ANSI approved.

4. BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE be
certain the workpiece has been properly
imbedded on the headstock and tailstock
centers and that there is adequate clearance
for the full rotation.

5. ADJUST TOOL REST to provide proper
support for the turning tool you will be using.
Test tool rest clearance by rotating work­piece by hand before turning lathe on.

6. SELECT THE TURNING SPEED which is
appropriate for the type of work. Allow the
lathe to gain its full speed before using.

7. ALWAYS INSPECT THE CONDITION of
the materials you are turning. Do not turn
pieces with knots, splits and other potential­ly dangerous conditions.

8. KEEP LATHE TOOLS PROPERLY
SHARPENED and hold firmly in the proper

position when turning.

9. NEVER OPERATE THE LATHE WITH
DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS. Maintain

your lathe in proper working condition.

10. MAKE SURE YOUR WOOD LATHE IS

TURNED OFF, disconnected from its

power source and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop before starting
any inspection, adjustment, or mainte­nance procedure.

11. DO NOT LEAVE LATHE RUNNING

UNATTENDED for any reason.

12. DO NOT STOP LATHE USING YOUR

HAND against the workpiece.

13. KEEP LOOSE CLOTHING ARTICLES

such as sleeves, belts and jewelry items
away from the lathe spindle.

14. WHEN FACE PLATE TURNING, use lathe
chisels on the downward spinning side of
the workpiece only.

15. REMOVE THE TOOL REST when per­forming sanding or polishing operations on
the rotating spindle.

16. ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE too much
material at once may cause work material
to fly out of the lathe.

17. THE JOINTS OF GLUED-UP WORK­PIECES should be high quality to prevent

them from breaking under the extreme
forces of lathe turning. Consult in-depth
trade manuals and instructional books for
correct techniques when gluing up a work­piece from multiple pieces. If a joint fails
during a lathe turning operation, serious
injury or death could occur.

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship­ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol­vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-

mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-

rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact.

Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could explode
if used to clean machin­ery. DO NOT use gaso­line or petroleum prod­ucts to clean the machin­ery.

Smoking near solvents
could ignite an explosion
or fire and cause serious
injury. DO NOT smoke
while using solvents.

Lack of ventilation while
using solvents could
cause serious personal
health risks, fire, or
environmental hazards.
Always work in a well
ventilated area to pre­vent the accumulation
of dangerous fumes.
Supply the work area
with a constant source
of fresh air.

Clean Up

Unsupervised children
and visitors inside your
shop could receive seri­ous personal injury.
Ensure child and visitor
safety by keeping all
entrances to the shop
locked at all times. DO
NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in the
shop at any time.

Floor Load

The Model G1067Z weighs 179 lbs. Most com­mercial floors are suitable for your machine.
