Safety Instructions For Power Tools
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubri-
cating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing
and changing accessories, such as blades,
bits, cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
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 mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its oper-
ation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rota-
tion of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be
sure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or
better. Conductor size must be 16 A.W.G.
for cords up to 100 feet in length. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Your extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords if they become
damaged. Minimum Gage for extension
cord: 16 A.W.G. 50ft
16 A.W.G. 100ft
14 A.W.G. 200ft
12 A.W.G. 300ft
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-
ering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safe-
ty glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.

Additional Safety Instructions For The Dust
Collector
4. Suspended dust particles in conjunction with
an ignition source, may cause an explosion.
DO NOT operate the dust collector in areas
where explosion risks would be high if dust
were dispersed into the area. Areas of high
risk include, but are not limited to, areas near
pilot lights and/or open flames.
5. DO NOT allow steel to strike against steel
which may produce a spark. Sparks can
smolder in wood dust for a long time before
fire or flame is detected. If metal contacts
metal during operation, immediately turn off
the dust collector, unplug the power cord
from the outlet or throw the disconnect and
wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove col-
lection bags and empty the dust into an
approved air tight metal container in case of
spark and remedy the metal to metal contact
problem before resuming operation.
6. When emptying dust from the collection
bags, wear a respirator and safety glasses.
Empty dust into an approved container and
dispose of properly.
1. This dust collector is to be used for wood
dust collection only. DO NOT use this dust
collector to pick up liquids and metal scrap
including, but not limited to, nails and filings.
Metallic debris will contact the spinning
impeller and could spark. The spark could
then cause a sawdust explosion and severe
fire hazard. Also, DO NOT pick up material
which cannot safely pass through the
impeller such as solid wood scraps.
2. DO NOT place your hands or tools near the
open inlet during operation for any reason
including, but not limited to, unclogging
material and testing suction. The impeller
could cause serious damage to body parts
if touched while spinning.
3. Problems concerned with any moving
part(s) or accessories must be investigated
and corrected with the power disconnected
and after everything has come to a com-
plete stop.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your indi-
vidual 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.

G1163 Portable Dust Collector
This machine must be grounded. Do not
remove the grounding prong from the power
cord. Be sure the receptacle is grounded. If
you are not sure about proper grounding, con-
sult an electrician. Serious personal injury
may result.
When placing the G1163 Dust Collector in your
shop, three major considerations should be
addressed - working clearances, lighting and
electrical, and circuit loading. Each of these con-
siderations will have a dramatic impact on the
performance and safety of this machine.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be defined as the safe
distance between other machines and obstacles
that may limit material being processed, or per-
son(s) operating those machines. Consider exist-
ing and anticipated machine needs, anticipated
size of material to be processed through each
machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or
work tables. You may also want to consider the
relative position of each machine to one another
for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow
yourself sufficient room to safely operate your
machines in any foreseeable operation.
LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical cir-
cuits should be dedicated or large enough to han-
dle motor amp loads and proper lighting. Outlets
should be located near each machine so power
or extension cords are not obstructing high-traf-
fic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical
codes for proper installation if your are adding
new outlets, lighting, or circuits. Work areas
should also be well protected from rain and
other sources of moisture.
This machine must be grounded. There is no
exception to this requirement. Do not remove the
grounding prong from the power cord. Be sure
the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not
sure of the circuit, contact a licensed electrician.
Extension Cords: If used, extension cords must
be rated “Hard Service” – Grade SJ – or better.
Conductor size should be 14 AWG for cords to
50' in length. Cord must be properly grounded.
Repair or replace extension cords it they become
worn or damaged.
If you are unsure of the suitability of circuits
you are planning to use for this or other
machines in your shop, contact a licensed
electrician for any necessary re-wiring or
repairs. Using faulty or improperly grounded
circuits could result in electrical shock, fire, or
other source of personal injury and property
damage.
CIRCUIT LOADING
The Model G1163 Portable Dust Collector draws
approximately 10 amps under normal operating
conditions, and should be fused at 15 amps to
provide safe surge protection.
DO NOT operate the Model G1163 on circuits
fused at more than 15 amps. Inadequate fuse
protection could result in damage to the motor
and possible fire hazard if overheating occurs.
Warranty coverage will be voided if evidence
of improper fusing is visible.
DO NOT attempt to use the Model G1163 or
other power tools or machinery when rain,
snow or other sources of excess moisture are
present. Use in the presence of water may
result in electrocution. Serious personal
injury may result.

Assembly of the G1163 is easily accomplished.
We have organized the assembly process into
the following sections:
A. Base
B. Handle Bar
C. Collector Body and Fan/Motor Assembly
D. Collection Bag
E. Wall Mount Bracket
Please follow the assembly process in the order
in which we have presented it here. You will find
that some pre-assembly has been done at the
factory. For example, the motor and switch are
already mounted to the collector body and the fan
is mounted to the motor shaft. To aid assembly,
please spend some time with the drawings and
parts list to become familiar with all the parts
before you begin.

Fit the collection bag to the outfeed end of the
collector body and secure with the provided
clamp. See Figure 5.
Figure 5. Bag clamped to the outlet end of the
collector body.
This dust collector is wall mountable. Secure the
two mounting brackets to your shop wall with four
(4) screws or four (4) nails. The holes on the
mounting brackets must be 63/4" apart to accom-
modate the width of the mounting holes on the
base. (Some additional blocking may be required
to ensure wall strength is sufficient to support the
dust collector.) See Figure 6.
Also, mount your unit so that the collection bag
just touches the floor when fully inflated. This will
eliminate undue bag stretching and stress on the
collector body when the bag begins to fill. Be sure
that your floor surface is smooth so that the bag
will not catch and be ripped or torn.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Please review the safety rules if you are not sure
about the risks associated with operating this
machine. Turn on the power supply at the main
panel if not already on. Press the ON switch and
be ready to switch OFF just in case there is a
problem. The dust collector should run smoothly
and be free of vibration or rubbing noises.
Unusual or strange sounds or symptoms must be
investigated and the problem corrected before
proceeding further.
Test Run Set Up
The G1163 dust collector can be either operated
as a mobile or stationary unit. There are advan-
tages and disadvantages to both systems. The
primary advantage of a mobile system is low
expense of ducts and fittings. On the other hand
a stationary system is more versatile and conve-
nient. There are some basic considerations for
each method.
In light of all the health concerns related to air-
borne dust, proper setup and installation cannot
be overlooked.
You may wish to locate your dust collector away
from the work area in an adjacent room or closet.
If you do locate the dust collector in an adjacent
room by running a duct through the wall, be sure
there are no open flames and/or gas appliances
with pilot lights. There is a risk of explosion if dust
is dispersed into the air. You must also ensure
that the volume of air entering the room or closet
is properly vented back into the workshop.
Make sure the G1163 is unplugged or dis-
connected from the power source and moving
parts have come to a complete stop before
investigating any problems or performing any
maintenance or adjustments. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
Ensure that all duct work is grounded to dis-
charge the build-up of static electricity, partic-
ularly if using a plastic duct system. See
System Grounding section. Serious person-
al injury may occur.
If everything is running smoothly, perform a test
of the dust collector. Ensure that the collector
picks up sawdust freely and easily. If it does not,
review the assembly process and your duct sys-
tem.

- 12 - G1163 Dust Collector
For mobility, the G1163 is mounted on casters
and can be moved within close proximity to your
woodworking machines. You will need a flexible
duct to connect each machine with a collection
hood. If you wish to specifically direct air flow
while the dust collector is attached to more than
one machine, you will need to add a blast gate for
each machine.
When moving the dust collector around the shop,
you must consider clearances between obstacles
and accessibility to convenient electrical outlets.
A heavy-duty extension cord may be used if an
outlet is not convenient. See Section 2 on Circuit
Loading.
The G1163 can be set up as a stationary unit,
however keep in mind it can only service one
machine at a time. The primary advantage of a
stationary system is it eliminates the process of
disconnecting and moving the dust collector,
hoses and cords, and eliminates hoses and cords
laying on the floor. Another advantage of a sta-
tionary system is it allows the dust collector to be
located away from the work area, reducing noise
and freeing up valuable workshop space. Grizzly
offers a complete line of dust collection acces-
sories for setting up a stationary system.
Additionally, Grizzly offers a complete guide book
entitled Dust Collection Basics for setting up sta-
tionary dust collection systems. Please refer to
our current catalog for pricing and ordering infor-
mation.
A stationary system configuration usually has a
main duct with smaller ducts branching to each
machine. The main duct should be located out of
the way of normal operations and be accessible
for the branch ducts. Branch ducts are perma-
nently attached to each machine by way of col-
lection hoods. Air flow is controlled by blast gates
located in the branch ducts and near each
machine. Remote switches, available from
Grizzly, can be added to make the system even
more convenient.
To design a stationary system, you must consid-
er many interrelated factors such as, shop layout,
woodworking machine capacities, and general
duct efficiency. Design considerations for a sta-
tionary dust collection system are beyond the
scope of this manual. As stated above, Dust
Collection Basics, offered by Grizzly, is an excel-
lent resource for dust collection questions.

G1163 Portable Dust Collector
System Grounding
Since plastic hose is abundant, relatively inex-
pensive, easily assembled, and airtight, it is a
very popular material for conveying dust from
woodworking machines to the dust collector. We
recommend using flexible hose (flex-hose) to
connect the woodworking machine to the dust
collector. However, plastic piping, including plas-
tic flex-hose, is an insulator, and dust particles
moving against the walls of the pipe create a sta-
tic electrical charge build-up. This charge will
build until it discharges to ground. If a grounding
medium is not available to prevent static electrical
charge build-up, the electrical discharge will arc,
similar to lightning. This electrical discharge may
cause an explosion and subsequent fire inside
the system.
To protect against static electrical charge build-
up inside a non-conducting duct, a bare copper
wire should be placed inside the duct along its
length and grounded to the dust collector. Please
ensure that the dust collector is continuously
grounded through the electrical circuit to the elec-
tric service panel.
If you connect the dust collector to more than one
machine by way of a non-conducting branching
duct system and blast gates, the system must still
be grounded as mentioned above. We recom-
mend inserting a continuous bare copper ground-
ing wire inside the entire duct system and attach-
ing the wire to each grounded woodworking
machine and dust collector.
Be sure that you extend the bare copper wire
down all branches of the system. Do not forget to
connect the wires to each other when two branch-
es meet at a Y or T connection. Use wire nuts.
Ensure that the entire system is grounded. If
using blast gates to direct air flow, the grounding
wire must be jumped around the blast gate with-
out interruption to the grounding system.
We also recommend wrapping the outside of all
plastic ducts with bare copper wire to ground the
outside of the system against static electricity
build-up. Wire connections at Y’s and T’s should
be made with wire nuts.
Attach the bare ground wire to each stationary
woodworking machine and the dust collector
frame with a ground screw. Ensure that each
machine is continuously grounded to the ground-
ing terminal in your electric service panel.

This equipment must be grounded. Please
ensure that the dust collector 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. Serious personal
injury may occur.
