Additional Safety Instructions for Wood
Lathes
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 lathe. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this lathe with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility
of operator injury. If normal safety precau-
tions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
1. KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. Make
sure all guards are in place and the lathe
sits on a flat, stable surface.
2. EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear
eye protection or a face shield when oper-
ating the lathe.
3. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always
wear a respirator when using this machine.
Wood dust may cause allergies or long-
term respiratory health problems.
4. MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting,
be certain the workpiece has been properly
embedded on the headstock and tailstock
centers and that there is adequate clear-
ance for the full rotation of the workpiece.
5. ADJUSTING TOOL REST. Adjust tool rest
to provide proper support for the turning
tool you will be using. Test tool rest clear-
ance by rotating workpiece by hand before
turning lathe ON.
6. TURNING SPEED. Select the correct turn-
ing speed for your work, and allow the lathe
to gain full speed before starting the opera-
tion.
7. USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep lathe
chisels properly sharpened and held firmly
in position when turning.
8. OPERATING DAMAGED LATHE. Never
operate the lathe with damaged or worn
parts.
9. WORKPIECE CONDITION. Always inspect
the condition of your workpiece. DO NOT
turn pieces with knots, splits, and other
potentially dangerous conditions. Make
sure joints of glued-up pieces have high
quality bonds and will not fly apart during
operation.
10. ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make
sure your wood lathe is turned OFF, dis-
connected from the power source, and all
moving parts have come to a complete stop
before starting any inspection, adjustment,
or maintenance procedure.
11. STOPPING LATHE. DO NOT attempt to
stop the lathe by using your hand against
the workpiece or face plate. Allow the lathe
to stop on its own.
12. AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long
hair and loose clothing articles such as
sleeves, belts, and jewelry items away from
the lathe during operation.
13. FACEPLATE TURNING. When faceplate
turning, use lathe chisels on the downward
spinning side of the workpiece only.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to the power source
before you have completed the setup pro-
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until instructed to do so.
220V Single-Phase Plug/Receptacle Type
Recommended Plug/Receptacle .......NEMA 6-15
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding
wire in the power cord must be properly connected
to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the
outlet must be properly installed and grounded.
All electrical connections must be made in accor-
dance with local codes and ordinances.
Amperage Draw
The Model G0632 motor draws the following
amps under maximum load:
Motor Draw at 220V ............................. 4.7 Amps
Circuit Requirements
The included frequency inverter takes in 220V
single-phase power and converts it to 3-phase
power for the variable speed lathe motor. We rec-
ommend connecting your machine to a dedicated
and grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage
and phase given below. Never replace a circuit
breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher
amperage without consulting a qualified electri-
cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If
you are unsure about the wiring codes in your
area or you plan to connect your machine to a
shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.
220V, Single Phase Circuit ...................15 Amps
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly
or if your electrical con-
figuration does not comply
with local and state codes.
Ensure compliance by
checking with a qualified
electrician!
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension cords.
Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment
and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for
extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-
sion cord at 220V with your machine:
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.

Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet on Page 3 for
the weight and footprint specifications of your
machine. Some residential floors may require
additional reinforcement to support both the
machine and operator.
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables, other
machinery, and the operator when establishing a
location for your new machine. See Figure 8 for
the minimum clearance dimensions.
Children and visitors may be
seriously injured if unsuper-
vised. Lock all entrances to
the shop when you are away.
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!
Site Considerations

NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. Consult with your electrician
to ensure compliance with local codes.
Figure 9. Typical mounting fasteners for
concrete floors.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on the included machine
feet. Although not required, we recommend that
you bolt your new lathe to the floor. Because this
is an optional step and floor materials may vary,
only machine feet are included with your lathe.
Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to
level your machine with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (Figure 9) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove
this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895
Citrus Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts
must be removed. For optimum performance
from your machine, clean all moving parts or
sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based
solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner
that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.
Clean Up
Figure 10. Grizzly citrus degreaser.
G7895—Grizzly Citrus Degreaser
This natural, citrus-based degreaser is a great
solution for removing export grease, and it’s much
safer to work around than nasty solvents.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode or
cause fire if used to clean
machinery. DO NOT use
these products to clean
the machinery.
Many cleaning solvents are
toxic if inhaled. Minimize
your risk by only using
these products in a well
ventilated area.
Clean Up
Assembly
To assemble your lathe:
1. Stand the right and left supporting legs up
approximately 47" apart, and get them rea-
sonably aligned, as shown in Figure 11.
The G0632 and its com-
ponents are very heavy.
Get lifting help or use
power lifting equipment
such as a fork lift to move
heavy items.
Figure 11. Stand legs approximately 47" apart to
prepare for mounting the lathe.
2. Using the help of assistants, carefully lift the
lathe onto the stands and align the mounting
holes.
Note: The headstock end of the lathe is the
heaviest and usually requires two people for
lifting that end.

3. Secure the lathe assembly to the supporting
legs with the (8) M10-1.5 x 25 cap screws
and 10mm flat washers (see Figure 12).
Figure 12. Securing lathe assembly to
supporting legs.
4. If you are bolting your lathe to the floor, skip
to Step 7. Otherwise, move the tailstock, tool
rest assembly, and headstock to one end of
the lathe bed (see the OPERATIONS sec-
tion beginning on Page 18 for instructions for
moving these components).
5. Use assistants to lift the light end of the lathe
onto support blocks in preparation for install-
ing the machine feet (see Figure 13).
6. Insert the machine feet into the mounting
holes of the supporting legs, as shown in
Figure 14. Do not tighten the top hex nut yet.
Repeat Steps 5–6 on the other legs.
Figure 14. Machine feet installed.
7. Place a level on the lathe bed and make nec-
essary adjustments so that the bed is level
from side-to-side and front-to-back.
—If you are using the machine feet, adjust
the top and bottom hex nuts on each leg to
level the bed; then tighten the hex nuts to
secure these adjustments.
—If you are bolting your lathe to the floor, use
shims under the legs to level the bed; then
tighten the mounting fasteners.
