Starting Procedure - Grizzly G0937 Owner's Manual

STARTING PROCEDURE

A. DURING INSTALLATION/INITIAL START
Taking all precautions previously stated, ensure the cross-slide is well away from the chuck and the
clutch turned left for automatic feeding. Close the chuck's protective cover, and connect the machine
to power.
Lathe Spindle Break-In
Turn the power supply switch (C) to the 'Cutting' position. Select
'Forward' with the Forward/Off/Reverse Switch (A) on the main
control panel, then reset the Emergency Stop Switch (D) by
turning the red head to the right. The power indicator (B) should
illuminate.
Switch ON the machine by GENTLY turning the variable-speed
control knob (E) clockwise. A click will be heard as power
is turned ON, but the spindle will not rotate until the knob is
turned further clockwise. Speed will increase progressively the
further the knob is turned.
Run the machine for a total of 5 minutes, gradually increasing
spindle speed to its maximum. Run for at least 2 minutes at this
speed before stopping the machine and disconnecting from
power.
Check that all components are still secure and working freely and correctly.
Check also to ensure the mountings are secure.
Should any adjustments be necessary, refer to the appropriate section under Settings &
Adjustments on Page 17.
Mill/Drill Spindle Break-In
Turn the power supply switch (C) to 'Drill/Mill' position.
Repeat the procedure Lathe Spindle Break-In above.
B. STARTING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS
1. Take all necessary precautions previously stated, and ensure the workpieces can rotate fully
without obstruction.
IMPORTANT: Never mix jaw types or positions to accommodate an odd-shaped workpiece.
The chuck will spin out of balance and may throw the workpiece! Instead, use an independent
jaw chuck or a faceplate.
