ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS.
You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching
live electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
Always discon-
nect machine from power supply BEFORE mak-
ing adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This prevents an injury risk from unin-
tended startup or contact with live electrical com-
ponents.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper-
ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis-
connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin-
ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

NOTICE
Safety Instructions for Machinery
SECTION 1: SAFETY

Model T32717 (Mfd. Since 07/21) -7-
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate-
rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-
ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica-
tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur-
ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-
ommended accessories. Using improper acces-
sories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-
ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

-8- Model T32717 (Mfd. Since 07/21)
Additional Safety for
Electric Pipe & Tube Notchers
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. 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 equip-
ment, or poor work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
AMPUTATION HAZARD. Keep hands/fingers
away from notching holes while machine is con-
nected to power. A finger inserted between dies
can easily be pinched, crushed, or amputated if
notcher is turned ON.
PROTECTION AGAINST SHARP EDGES. Sharp
edges on cut metal workpieces can easily cause
lacerations while handling. Wear leather gloves to
help protect your hands when handling workpieces,
and always chamfer and deburr sharp workpiece
edges. Wear steel-toed shoes to protect feet if
workpiece is dropped.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Always support
workpiece when performing notching operation.
Failure to do so can apply excessive force to dies
that they are not designed to bear. Avoid awkward
body and hand positions where a sudden slip or
jerk could cause your hand or body to fall into work
area or sharp workpiece edge.
GUARDS. Guards and covers protect against
entanglement or flying objects. Always ensure they
are properly installed while machine is running.
CLEARING METAL REMNANTS. Metal scraps
can be razor sharp. Avoid clearing them by hand
with compressed air or with a rag. Use a brush or
vacuum instead.
USE FOR INTENDED PURPOSE. This machine
is designed for notching tubes and pipes made
of carbon steel or non-ferrous materials. DO NOT
use it to notch other materials or materials that
exceed capacities of machine (refer to Machine
Data Sheet). Cutting incorrect materials can pro-
duce unexpected results, which increases risk
of injury, and may result in damage to machine.
Exceeding machine capacities may eject danger-
ous metal debris at operator or bystanders, or
cause machine damage.
Notching dies are sharp and can easily amputate fingers or other body parts inserted into
notching holes. Workpieces can jerk or move suddenly when being notched and strike operator
or bystanders. Severe cuts can occur to hands/fingers when contacting sharp workpiece
edges. To reduce your risk of these hazards when operating this machine, completely heed and
understand the following:

Model T32717 (Mfd. Since 07/21) -9-
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the avail-
ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
Electrocution, fire, shock,
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
supply.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 220V ....... 8 Amps
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-
loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult an electrician if you are
unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con-
sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup-
ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Circuit Information
Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage ......... 208V, 220V, 230V, 240V
Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz
Phase ........................................... Single-Phase
Power Supply Circuit ......................... 15 Amps
Plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 6-15

-10- Model T32717 (Mfd. Since 07/21)
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Figure 3. Typical 6-15 plug and receptacle.
Grounding Pin
Current Carrying Prongs
6-15 PLUG

6-15 RECEPTACLE
Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!
No adapter should be used with plug. If
plug does not fit available receptacle, or if
machine must be reconnected for use on a
different type of circuit, reconnection must
be performed by an electrician or qualified
service personnel, and it must comply with
all local codes and ordinances.
Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-
ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-
ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-
crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the
machine controls/components
discussed later
in this manual
are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual,
seek additional
training from experienced
machine operators
, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,
trade magazines, or websites.
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire manual BEFORE
using machine.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.
ALWAYS wear protective equipment to
reduce the risk of injury from flying cut off
pieces and sharp metal when operating.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines workpiece to make sure diam-
eter and thickness are within capacities of
machine.
2. Cleans workpiece where it will contact dies to
ensure cut is neat.
3. Determines smallest hole workpiece will fit
into.
4. Lubricates dies.
5. Connects machine to power.
6. Puts on personal protective equipment.
7. Turns machine ON.
8. Inserts workpiece into appropriate hole and
makes first notch, supporting workpiece dur-
ing entire operation.
9. Rotates workpiece 180° to notch opposite
side, then removes it from notching hole.
10. Turns machine OFF.

Cutting Notches
Cutting a notch in a tube or pipe consists of pre-
paring the workpiece, lubricating the notching
dies, determining the size of notching hole need-
ed for the operation, and making two identical
cuts, one on either side of the workpiece. Once
a pipe or tube has been notched, the notched
edges can be tightly welded or otherwise joined
to another workpiece.
Figure 10. Example of notched workpieces
ready to be joined.

To cut notch:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Clean and deburr workpiece where it will con-
tact dies.
3. Determine smallest notching hole workpiece
will fit into (see Figure 11).
Notching Tips
See below for some helpful tips to keep your
machine performing its best and to obtain the best
notching results.
• Only notch one workpiece at a time.
• Smooth material will notch more easily than
rough or dirty material. Clean/deburr material
before inserting into the machine.
• If the notching dies do not return to the open
position after operation, there may be a cut
off piece stuck in the way. Disconnect the
machine from power before removing the
guards and cut off piece.
• Find and mark a straight "center" line paral-
lel to the workpiece edges (see Figure 9) on
either side of the workpiece to achieve even
notches. Align this line to the top of the notch-
ing hole for each operation so the second
notch will align with the first.
Figure 9. Example of workpiece center line
aligned to top of notching hole.
• Lubricate the notching dies every 10–12 cuts
during continuous use.
• Empty the chip drawer periodically to keep
cut off pieces from accumulating and lodging
in notching mechanisms.

5. Connect machine to power.
8. Rotate workpiece 180° and wait for machine
to perform second notch, then remove
workpiece from notching hole.
9. Examine workpiece for neat notch.
— If all edges of notch are even then opera-
tion is complete. Turn machine OFF.
— If all edges of notch are not even, repeat
notching operation until they are, then turn
machine OFF.
Fingers, hands, etc. can be amputated
or pinched by notcher dies if guards are
removed or appendages are inserted into
notching holes. Only operate with guards
and always keep appendages out of notching
holes while machine is connected to power.
6. Turn machine ON and allow machine to run
for a few minutes to distribute lubricant from
Step 4 over and inside dies.
4. Lubricate dies by dripping 1-2 drops of light
machine oil (see Page 18 for an example)
into each hole at top of notch housing (see
Figure 12).
7. Insert workpiece into hole determined in Step
3 and support workpiece so it is perpendicu-
lar to dies (see Figure 13). Wait for machine
to perform first notch.
