INTRODUCTION
The Model G0718 is a production machine
designed for drilling and installing European-style
hinges in cabinet doors.
Grizzly offers are a number of different boring
heads and interchangeable boring bits (all sold
separately), so the machine can be used for a
wide variety of different hinge brands.
The stock machine excels at large production
runs of 2-hinge doors. It is supplied with all the
components necessary to make small runs of
3- or 4-hinge doors; however, an additional exten-
sion fence and stops are recommended to expe-
dite larger or more frequent runs requiring 3 or 4
hinges.

NOTICE
Safety Instructions for Machinery
SECTION 1: SAFETY

Model G0718 (Mfd. Since 12/10) -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

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

-8- Model G0718 (Mfd. Since 12/10)
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 per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, 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, serious
personal injury may occur.
Additional Safety for Boring Machines
EYE/FACE/HAND PROTECTION. Debris from
the drilling operation can be thrown at the operator.
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield to pro-
tect your eyes and face during boring operations.
The spinning boring bits are sharp and can cause
serious injury. Always keep hands and fingers
away from the moving bits. To reduce the risk of
entanglement, DO NOT wear gloves when operat-
ing this machine.
GUARDS. The boring head guard reduces the risk
of debris being thrown at the operator. DO NOT
operate this machine with this guard removed.
BORING OPERATION. The boring bits rotate with
tremendous torque, especially at start up. To avoid
the bits grabbing the workpiece and unexpectedly
moving it, never start the machine with the boring
bits pressed against the workpiece.
DULL OR WORN BITS. Dull or damaged bits may
break apart during operation, be thrown at the
operator, or reduce the performance of the opera-
tion. Inspect bits before each use. DO NOT oper-
ate with dull or damaged bits.
SECURING WORKPIECE. The operator's hands
may be drawn into the spinning boring bits if the
workpiece moves unexpectedly during operation.
Make sure the workpiece is firmly against the
fence, and the workpiece is fully secured with the
hold-downs.
BORING BITS. A rapidly spinning boring bit can
be thrown at the operator if it comes loose from
the chuck. Only use boring bits with a 10mm shank
designed for this machine. Properly secure the bits
in the chucks before beginning operations.
SURFACE/WORKPIECE PREPARATION. Never
turn the machine ON before clearing the table of
all tools, scrap wood, etc. Only drill wood products
that are free of imperfections or foreign objects.
Never use this machine to drill metal.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you
are experiencing difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

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 110V...... 10 Amps
Full-Load Current Rating at 220V ....... 5 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.)

-10- Model G0718 (Mfd. Since 12/10)
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.
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.

ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig-
ure). The plug must only be inserted into a match-
ing receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
For 220V operation: The plug specified under
“
Circuit Requirements for 220V” on the previous
page has a grounding prong that must be attached
to the equipment-grounding wire on the included
power cord. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (see following figure) that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
SHOCK HAZARD!
Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding
requirements for this machine. Do not modify
or use an adapter on the plug provided—if
it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified
electrician install the proper outlet with a
verified ground.

Inventory
The following is a list of items shipped with your
machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items
out and inventory them.
If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a
nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or
for the sake of expediency, replacements can be
obtained at your local hardware store.
Cleanup
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preven-
tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.

Site Considerations
Weight Load
Refer to the
Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-
tenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and lon-
gevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or
the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,
or bumps.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or
other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space
around machine to disconnect power supply or
apply a lockout/tagout device, if required.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.

Model G0718 (Mfd. Since 12/10) -15-
Lifting & Placing
To lift and place your boring machine:
1. Prepare the location for the boring machine
per Circuit Requirements on Page 9 and
Site Considerations on Page 14.
2. Unbolt the machine from the shipping crate.
3. Lift from each side of the work table, and
move the machine to its prepared location.
Minimum 3-person lift! This
machine and its compo-
nents are very heavy. Use
safe lifting methods when
moving this machine.
Mounting
Figure 10. "Direct Mount" setup.
Machine Base

Another option is a "direct mount" (see example
below) where the machine is secured directly to
the workbench with lag screws and washers.
The base of this machine has mounting holes
that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or
other mounting surface to prevent it from moving
during operation and causing accidental injury or
damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" (see example below) where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

Assembly 3. Remove the fasteners from the pivot connec-
tor (see Figure 11), raise the handle pivot
bar, and use the fasteners to secure the han-
dle pivot bar to the vertical pivot bar through
the mounting holes shown.
4. Loosen the cap screws on the fence exten-
sion rods, slide the rods out about half their
length (see Figure 12), then tighten two of the
screws to secure the rods to the extension.
The handle was secured to the machine in a spe-
cial way to protect it from shipping damage. As
such, the way it is mounted for shipping is not how
it should be mounted for operation. The assembly
process involves re-mounting the handle in its
operating position and installing all loose compo-
nents from the shipping box.
The machine requires, but does not include,
a boring head in order to perform operations.
Grizzly offers a number of boring heads for this
machine (refer to Page 32 for more details). The
boring head must be installed before performing
the Test Run procedure. To choose the correct
boring head, refer to Selecting Boring Head on
Page 24.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to power before com-
pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect
power until instructed later in this manual.
To assemble your boring machine:
1. DISCONNECT BORING MACHINE FROM
POWER!
2. Remove and discard the cable ties that
secure the downfeed handle (see Figure 11).

Note: The fence extension is only needed for
certain applications, such as 3-hinge doors.
Therefore, installation is optional depending
on anticipated needs.
The fence extension can be mounted on the
left or right end of the table fence for different
applications. If mounting the fence extension
on the right side, you must swap the left scale
on the fence extension with the provided right
scale. This ensures the numbering sequence
between the table fence scale and the fence
extension scale are congruent.
