The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate
to this wood lathe and turning in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting or
operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!
Bed: The long, rail-like metal base to which
the tailstock, tool base, and headstock are
attached.
Chuck: A mechanical device that attaches to the
spindle and holds the workpiece.
Faceplate: The metal disc that threads onto the
headstock spindle.
Faceplate Turning: Turning situation in which
the grain of the turning stock is at right angles
to the lathe bed axis.
Backing Block: A sacrificial piece of wood glued
to the base of the workpiece and screwed to
the faceplate. Often used to prevent mount-
ing marks from appearing on the completed
workpiece.
Headstock: The cast metal box to which the
motor is attached and contains the spindle,
bearings, belts, and electrical components for
operating the lathe.
Index head: The mechanism that allows the
headstock spindle to be locked at specific
intervals for layout or other auxiliary tasks.
Offset Turning: A turning situation where the cen-
ter of the workpiece is offset at various stages
of the work to produce different shapes.
Outboard Turning: Turning of workpiece with
the headstock situated at the far end of the
lathe so the work done is not over the bed of
the lathe.
Roughing Out: Taking stock from square billet to
round blank.
Spindle: This term has two meanings. First, it
refers to the threaded shaft in the headstock
to which the faceplate is attached. Second, it
refers to any work that is spindle-turned.
Spindle-Turning: Work performed where the
grain and length of the workpiece are parallel
to the axis of the bed.
Swing: The capacity of the lathe, measured
by doubling the distance from the bed to the
spindle center.
Tailstock: The metal component at the opposite
end of the bed from the headstock containing a
quill and live or dead centers. It maintains pres-
sure on the spindle-turned workpiece.
Tool Base: The movable metal fixture attached
to the bed upon which the tool rest is fixed.
Tool Rest: The adjustable metal arm upon which
the tool rest during a turning operation.
Way: One of the metal rails that make up the bed
of the lathe.

Additional Safety for Wood Lathes
KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. Make sure all
guards are in place and that the lathe sits on a
flat, stable surface.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Airborne wood dust
and debris can be hazardous to the eyes/face
and may cause allergies or long-term respiratory
health problems. Always wear eye protection or a
face shield when operating the lathe.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always wear a
respirator when using this machine. Wood dust
may cause allergies or long-term respiratory
health problems.
MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting, be
certain the workpiece has been properly imbed-
ded on the headstock and tailstock centers and
that there is adequate clearance for the full rota-
tion.
ADJUSTING TOOL REST. 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 turning lathe ON.
TURNING SPEED. Select the correct turning
speed for your work, and allow the lathe to gain
full speed before using.
USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep lathe chisels
properly sharpened and held firmly in position
when turning.
OPERATING DAMAGED LATHE. Never oper-
ate the lathe with damaged or worn parts.
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 won't fly apart during
operation.
ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. 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.
STOPPING LATHE. DO NOT stop the lathe by
using your hand against the workpiece. Allow the
lathe to stop on its own.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long hair
and loose clothing articles such as sleeves, belts,
and jewelry items away from the lathe spindle.
FACEPLATE TURNING. When faceplate turning,
make sure the faceplate is securely attached to
the workpiece and it is properly attached to the
spindle. When faceplate turning, use lathe chisels
on the downward spinning side of the workpiece
only.
SANDING/POLISHING. Remove the tool rest
when performing sanding or polishing operations
on the rotating spindle.
MATERIAL REMOVAL RATE. Attempting to
remove too much material at once may cause
workpiece to fly out of the lathe.
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 lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.

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 electrican or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the 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 .. 12.6 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 requirements in the following section.
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: The circuit requirements listed in this man-
ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul-
tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
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.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and
meets the following requirements:

Model G0733 (Mfg. Since 10/11) -11-
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 may
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
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require-
ments:
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.

6-15 RECEPTACLE
For 220V operation: This machine is equipped
with a power cord that has an equipment-ground-
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.
No adapter should be used with the
required plug. If the plug does not fit the
available receptacle, or the machine must
be reconnected for use on a different type
of circuit, the reconnection must be made
by a qualified electrician and comply with all
local codes and ordinances.

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 access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging 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.

Cleanup
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both
options are described below. Whichever option
you choose, we recommend leveling your machine
with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag screw and anchor
studs, as shown in Figure 8, are two popular
methods for anchoring an object to a concrete
floor. We suggest you research the many options
and methods for mounting your machine and
choose the best that fits your specific application.
Mounting
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.

concrete floors.
Anchor Studs
Lag Shield Anchor
and Lag Screw
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.
