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 and seek additional training from expe-
rienced 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.

to reduce risk of eye injury

from flying chips always

wear safety glasses or face

shield when operating.

to complete a typical operation, the operator

does the following:

1. puts on safety glasses, rolls up sleeves,

removes jewelry, and secures any clothing,
jewelry, or hair that could get entangled in
moving parts.

2. examines the workpiece to make sure it is

suitable for turning, then securely mounts the
workpiece in a chuck, between centers, or on
the faceplate.

3. Mounts the tooling, aligns it with the workpiece,

then backs it away to establish a safe startup
clearance.

4. Clears all setup tools from the lathe.

5. Checks for safe clearances by rotating the

workpiece by hand at least one full revolution.

6. sets the correct spindle speed for the opera-

tion.

7. if using power feed, selects the proper feed

rate for the operation.

8. starts spindle rotation, then engages the half

nut.

9. uses various carriage controls to move the

tooling into the workpiece for operations.

10. When finished cutting, disengages the half

nut (power feed only), moves the spindle
direction switch to the oFF position, waits for
the spindle to completely stop, then removes
the workpiece.
