To operate this or any power tool safely and efficiently, it is essential to become as familiar with it
as possible. The time you invest before you begin
to use your Model G1067Z will be time well spent.
DO NOT operate this machine until you are
completely familiar with the contents of
this manual. Serious personal injury may
occur.

12. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PROTECTION. Also use a DUST MASK if the
operation is dusty.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER
before servicing and when changing
accessories.
16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging in the cord.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not oper-
ate the machine until you are certain it is in
perfect running condition.
18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do
not leave the tool until it comes to a full
stop.
19. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL IF USING
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.
20. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate
machine if you are fatigued.
21. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO
NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND
ABOUT THIS TOOL, DO NOT OPERATE IT! Ask for help first. Confusion
can lead to disaster.
22. BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS.
Review all safety procedures often.
These safety rules cannot cover every situation
in a woodshop. Consider your conditions when
setting up or operating your Wood Lathe.
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. 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 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.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS
AWAY. All children and visitors should be
kept a safe distance away from your work
area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removable starter keys.
9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better
and safer when they are allowed to perform at their own speed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry
that can get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear must be worn. Long hair
should be tied back or wear a hat.
11. NEVER STAND ON, OR LEAN ON THE
TOOL. Doing so could cause injury.

Unpacking
The Model G1067Z Wood Lathe is shipped from
the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If

Service immediately for advice.
Save the containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.
Otherwise, filing a freight claim can be difficult.
When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.

In the event that any non proprietary parts are
missing (e.g. a nut or a washer...), we would be
glad to replace them, or, for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local
hardware store.
The G1067Z is a heavy machine (190 lbs.
shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your
machine – get assistance. In the event that
your lathe must be moved up or down a
flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are
capable of supporting the combined
weight of people and the machine. Serious
personal injury may occur.

Clean up Site Considerations
Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and space for
auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery
when establishing a home for your Wood Lathe.
Allow sufficient room to safely run your machines
in any foreseeable operation.
Follow the safety rules listed below when
working with solvents. Failure to do so may
result in serious personal injury.
1. Read and follow all directions and
warnings on the solvent label.
2. Work only in a well ventilated area.
3. Do not work near any type of open
flame (e.g., pilot lights, kerosene
heaters, and so on).
4. DO NOT smoke while working with
flammable material.
5. Paper towels from the cleaning
process are extremely combustible.
Dispose of waste towels so they do not
create a fire hazard.
The bed and other unpainted parts of the
Model G1067Z are coated with a waxy oil
that protects them from corrosion during
shipment. Remove the protective coating
with mineral spirits and paper towels. DO
NOT use gasoline or other petroleum
based solvents because of their extremely
low flash points. Serious personal injury
may occur. DO NOT use chlorine-based
solvents – if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and
prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to
handle amperage requirements. Outlets
should be located near each machine so
power or extension cords are clear of hightraffic areas. Observe local electrical codes
for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Floor Load: Your G1067Z Lathe represents
a large weight load in a small footprint.
Most commercial floors are suitable for the
Model G1067Z. Some residential floors
may require additional build up to support
both machine and operator.

Circuit Requirements
Be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state
codes. The best way to ensure compliance
is to check with your local municipality or
licensed electrician.
The motor supplied with the G1067Z is
wired for 110V only. Under normal use, the
motor draws approximately 10 amps @
110V. We recommend using a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 20 amp fuse for 110V
operation. This should be satisfactory for
normal use, while providing enough protection against motor damage caused by
power surges. The circuit you use should
be dedicated, (i.e., the G1067Z should provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit failures occur when using the
Wood Lathe, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor.
This equipment must be grounded. Please
ensure that the Wood Lathe is continuously grounded from the motor to the machine
frame and then to a known ground. 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 three-pronged
plug be removed.
Extension Cords: If used, extension cords
must be rated Hard Service (grade S) or
better. Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G.
for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your
extension cord must also contain a ground
wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace
extension cords if they become damaged.

Pre-assembly
Assembly of the G1067Z is straightforward. We
have organized the assembly process into steps.
Please follow them in sequence.
Tools Required: Only a few common tools are
needed to assemble this machine. Specifically, a
6" adjustable wrench, 12mm open end wrench,
regular and Phillips
®
head screwdriver and an
8mm Allen
®
wrench.
SECTION 2: ASSEMBLY
Stand
Figure 1.
1. Locate all four stand legs and the two end
panels. Attach an end panel to any two of the
legs using the 10 - 24 x
3
⁄8
'' Phillips
®
Head
Screws provided. Figure 1. Repeat this step
for the remaining end panel/legs. Do not
tighten any fasteners during the assembly of
the stand until specifically instructed otherwise.
All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge
(called “flashing”) on them after they are
formed. This is removed at the factory.
Sometimes though, a bit of flashing might
escape inspection. Please examine the
edges of all die-cut metal parts before handling them.

4. With an assistant, set the lathe bed assem-
bly on the stand, orienting the front of the
headstock with the switch opening in the
stand leg. Bolt the lathe bed to the stand
using the eight
5
⁄16'' - 18 x 11⁄4'' Cap Screws
and Hex Nuts supplied and tighten down.
Figure 4.
5. At this point tighten down all the bolts on the
stand. It is a good idea to do this with the
lathe set in place where it will be used.
2. Bolt the upper mount plate and the short
stand support to each end assembly using
the
5
⁄16'' - 18 x 3⁄4'' carriage bolts provided.
Figure 2.
3. Attach the long stand supports to each end
assembly using the
5
⁄16'' - 18 x 3⁄4'' carriage
bolts provided. Figure 3.
