Safety Instructions For Power Tools
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION­AL STARTING. On machines with mag-
netic contact starting switches there is a risk of starting if the machine is bumped or jarred. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting or servicing. Make sure switch is in OFF position before recon­necting.
17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN “KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward
the operator if not handled properly. Know what conditions can create “kickback” and know how to avoid them. Read the manual accompanying the machine thoroughly.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-
ther 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.
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running a machine.
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.
Additional Safety Instructions For The Lathe
1. MAKE SURE ALL GUARDS are in place
and that the lathe sits on a flat, stable sur­face.
2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION and a
face shield when operating the lathe. Use a respirator to avoid inhaling dust. All safety equipment should be ANSI approved.
3. 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.
4. 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 starting lathe.
5. SELECT THE TURNING SPEED which is
appropriate for the type of work. Allow the lathe to gain full speed before beginning.
6. ALWAYS OBSERVE THE CONDITION of
the materials you are turning. Pay particular attention to knots, splits and other potential­ly dangerous conditions.
7. KEEP LATHE TOOLS PROPERLY SHARPENED and hold firmly in the proper
position when turning.
8. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-
ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intended
operation, stop using the machine! Then con­tact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be per­formed.
9. NEVER OPERATE THE LATHE WITH DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS. Maintain
your lathe in proper working condition. Perform routine inspections and mainte­nance promptly when needed. Put away adjustment tools after use.
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 or 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 perform-
ing 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. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION
in people and animals, especially when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to, the possibility of a allergic reaction and always wear an approved respirator.

110V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
A 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when fusing this wood lathe. Circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit from power surges.
Grounding
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 three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric cur­rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor. See Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The Model G8691 is wired for 110V operation only. The
1
2 H.P. motor will safely draw 3.1 amps at 110V. If you operate this lathe on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our service department.
Figure 1. Typical 110V 3-prong plug and outlet.
Figure 2 Do not remove grounding pin.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with the Model G8691, 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.

Clean Up
Grease left over from the manufacturing process may be on the various parts of the lathe. It is rec­ommended to clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.
Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be highly flammable, and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards. Keep children and animals safely away when cleaning and assembling this machine.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum­based solvents to remove this protective coating. These products generally have low flash points which makes them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur.
Site Considerations
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis­tances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without lim­itation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine to one another for effi­cient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.
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 combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to young­sters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.
All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is generally removed at the factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might escape inspection, and the sharp edge may cause cuts or lacerations when handled. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts and file or sand the edge to remove the flashing before handling.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Beginning Assembly
Most of your Model G8691 Wood Lathe has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order presented here.
TOOLS REQUIRED: A metric socket set, 6"
adjustable wrench, and Phillips
®
head screw dri-
ver.
The stand consists of 8 pieces; 4 legs and 4 sta­bilizer bars. With the included bolts, washers and nuts, assemble the 4 stabilizer bars to each of the 4 legs, being certain not to fully tighten the assem­bly at this time.
With the stand pieces together, use a bench or stand to place the lathe unit upside down as
shown in Figure 2. Attach each of the 4 legs to
the base of the lathe unit, making sure that the bolts are tight. Tighten the remaining bolts located at each of the stabilizer ends. Turn the lathe and stand right-side up and check to see if the lathe bed is parallel to the ground. Loosen and adjust the stand bolts accordingly until the lathe is level. Be careful not to loosen the bolts too much as the lathe may tip over. Make sure that all the bolts are securely tightened before continuing.
Stand
Figure 3.
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. Serious injury may occur.
Tool Rest
The tool rest is equipped with a horizontal and a vertical adjustment lever. By loosening the levers, the tool rest can be precisely placed along the workpiece for safe and efficient removal of wood stock.
Tailstock
The Model G8691 is supplied with a #2 Morse Taper live center. The tailstock can be adjusted along the length of the lathe bed to accommodate various lengths of wood stock. There are two ways to adjust the tailstock. The bolt located under the lathe bed can be loosened, allowing the tailstock to slide up and down the length of the lathe bed. The hand wheel can also be loosened allowing the threaded spindle to move back and
forth in the tailstock. Figure 4.
-10-
ASSEMBLY, CONT.
Spur Center
The Model G8691 is supplied with a #2 Morse Taper spur center for use when spindle turning. The spur center is used in conjunction with the tailstock live center. Before installing the spur center, thread spindle nut onto shaft and lightly tighten nut. Then insert the spur center into the hole in the spindle end. To remove the spur cen­ter, use the supplied open end wrench and an adjustable wrench to thread the spindle nut off
along with the spur center. Figure 5.
Figure 4.
Figure 5.
Faceplate
The faceplate is used for turning plates and bowls. To install the faceplate, remove the spur center. Using the supplied open-end wrench to hold the spindle, thread the faceplate onto the spindle threads. Tighten securely with fingers and use the mounting holes on the faceplate to attach
wood stock. Figure 6.
Figure 6.
Make sure the live center in the tailstock lines up with the spur center in the head­stock before turning anything between the centers. Failure to observe this step could result in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe. Serious personal injury could occur if care is not taken.
It is important to make sure the spur center and live center are lined up with one another. The easiest way to accomplish this is to make sure the tailstock “footprint” is centered over the width of the lathe bed. Loosen the bolt holding the tail­stock secure to lathe bed and adjust the assem­bly until alignment is achieved, then tighten securely.

SECTION 5: OPERATIONS
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are made to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin­ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there’s a problem. The lathe should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigat­ed and corrected before operating the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help.
Test Run
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all the working parts have come to rest before you do anything! Serious personal injury may occur.
To mount a workpiece between centers:
1. Locate the center point on both ends of the
workpiece by carefully drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The point of intersec­tion should be at the center of the work.
2. When turning stock with a diameter greater
than 2", remove the corner length edges with a hand plane or use a similar operation.
3. Hold the spindle vertically and support it on a
solid surface. Line up the spur center with the center of the workpiece. Drive the spur cen­ter into the stock about
1
4" using a dead blow hammer. Be careful not to split the work­piece. Wood with splits along the grain may fly off during the operation. With dense wood, drill a hole at the centers and score lines with a saw blade for the spur.
4. Once the spur center is firmly attached to the
workpiece, insert the spur center (with the attached workpiece) into the headstock spin­dle. Make sure the spur center taper seats into the spindle.
5. While supporting the workpiece, slide the tail-
stock close to the end of the workpiece and lock into place.
6. Line up the live center with the workpiece
center. Turn the handwheel to press the point of the live center into the workpiece.
7. Lock the tailstock in place.
Spindle Turning
Do not press too firmly or the bearings will bind and overheat. On the other hand, do not adjust too loosely or the workpiece will spin off the lathe.Serious personal injury could result if care is not taken.
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).

OPERATIONS, CONT.
Make sure the live center in the tailstock lines up with the spur center in the head­stock before turning anything between the centers. Failure to observe this step could result in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe. Serious personal injury could occur if care is not taken.
Adjust the tool rest as close to the workpiece as possible without actually coming into contact with the workpiece. Test by hand-turning the work­piece before starting the lathe. Ensure that the lathe chisel is fully supported by the tool rest. Support the lathe chisel on the tool rest with one hand, while the other hand controls the chisel.
Figure 8.
The variable speed selector allows the adjust­ment of the spindle R.P.M. Before turning the lathe on, make sure the speed selector knob is set at the lowest R.P.M. (turn counterclockwise).
Figure 7.
Once the lathe is turned on, slowly increase the R.P.M. of the lathe by turning the speed selector knob clockwise. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there’s a problem. The lathe should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and cor­rected before operating the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
V-Belt
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check pul­leys to ensure that they are properly aligned. Proper tension is indicated by no more than
1
4" deflection of belt when pushed lightly at a point equally between the two pulleys.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G8691 Wood Lathe will ensure its optimum per­formance. Make a habit of inspecting your lathe each time you use it. Check for the following con­ditions and repair or replace when necessary:
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged V-belt.
General
The non-painted surfaces on the Model G8691 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the lathe clean after every use ensures that moisture from wood dust isn’t allowed to trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.
Before performing any type of inspection or maintenance work on this lathe, be sure that the power cord is unplugged and all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Serious personal injury could occur.
