SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Machine The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
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 avoid accidentalslips,whichcouldcauselossofworkpiececontrol. hAzARdOus dusT. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage.
Additional Safety for Wood Lathes Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck by rotating parts on a lathe! Rotating workpieces can come loose and strike operator or bystanders with deadly force if they are improperly secured, rotated too fast, or are not strong enough for the rotational forces required for turning. Improper tool setup or usage can cause tool kickback or grabbing, resulting in impact injury or entanglement.
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Before installing the machine, consider the availability 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.
Grounding & Plug 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. This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug (similar to the figure below). The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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.
Site Considerations Weight Load Physical Environment 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 workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.
Anchoring to Floor Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during operation, resulting in a machine that runs slightly quieter and feels more solid. Assembly To mount the lathe to the stand: 1. Stand the legs up approximately 41" apart and get them reasonably aligned, as shown in Figure 9.
Quill Keyway 4. Test Run Install the tool rest lock lever to secure the tool rest, as shown in Figure 11. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving machinery. Figure 11. Installing handle into tool rest. 5. Install the lever into the tailstock so that the end of it mates with the quill keyway (see Figure 12).
5. Turn the machine OFF. 6. Remove the switch disabling key, as shown in Figure 14. Figure 14. Example of removing switch key from paddle switch. 7. Try to start the machine with the paddle switch. —If the machine does not start, the switch disabling feature is working as designed. —If the machine starts, immediately stop the machine. The switch disabling feature is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations. Call Tech Support for help. 10.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Overview The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice 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.
Stock Inspection & Requirements Some workpieces are not safe to turn or may require modification before they are safe to turn. Before turning a workpiece, inspect all workpieces for the following: • Workpiece Type: This machine is intended for cutting natural and man-made wood products, and some plastics. Never attempt to cut any metal, stone, or rubber workpiece; cutting these materials can lead to machine damage or severe injury.
To pivot the headstock: 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! 2. Make sure the head lock lever is tight. 3. Pull the pivot lock pin out (see Figure 17) and pivot the headstock clockwise 90˚ or 180˚, as shown in Figure 18. Pivot Lock Pin Head Lock Lever Adjusting Tailstock Position The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it. When the lock lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool rest to the bed.
Adjusting Tool Rest The tool rest is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it. When the base lock lever is tightened, a clamping plate lifts up and secures the tool rest to the bed. For safe and good turning results, we recommend positioning the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from the workpiece, and approximately 1⁄ 8" above the workpiece center line (see Figure 21).
removin spur Installing/Removing Spur Center The included MT#2 spur center installs in the spindle and forces the workpiece to spin with the spindle. Typically, the spur center is driven into the workpiece (see Spindle Turning on Page 27 for detailed instructions), then the center is inserted with the workpiece into the spindle. Removing Spur Center 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! 2. Hold a clean rag under the spindle or wear a glove to catch the center when you remove it. 3.
Installing/Removing Live Center 6. Note: The more the quill is drawn back into the tailstock, the greater the workpiece support. The MT#2 live center installs into the tailstock quill and rotates with the workpiece. 7. Installing Live Center 1. Move the tailstock a safe working distance from the head and tool rest. 2. Loosen the quill lock lever, then rotate the quill handwheel clockwise until the quill extends out from the tailstock about 1", as shown in Figure 24.
Installing/Removing Faceplate 5. Use the two included 32mm flat wrenches to tighten the faceplate, as shown in Figure 25. The faceplate is used when you need to remove material from the face of the workpiece, such as during hollowing operations. The faceplate can be installed only if the spur center is removed from the spindle. To install the faceplate: 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! 2. If the spur center is installed, remove it (refer to Page 22 for detailed instructions). 3. 4.
Adjusting Spindle Speed Spindle speed must be adjusted while lathe is running. Adjusting spindle speed while machine is not in operation could result in permanent damage to the machine not covered under warranty. The Model G0462 is engineered to operate between 600 and 2400 RPM's. Due to the design of the pulley system, RPM's outside of this range cannot be attained. Use the digital readout as a guide.
Selecting Turning Tools • Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes and usually fall into five major categories. Scrapers—Mainly used where access for other tools is limited, such as hollowing operations. This is a flat, double-ground tool that comes in a variety of profiles (Round Nose, Spear Point, Square Nose, etc.) to match many different contours. Figure 30 shows an example of a round nose scraper. Refer to Accessories on Page 31 for examples of recommended wood chisels from Grizzly.
Spindle Turning To set up a spindle turning operation: 1. Spindle turning, as shown in Figure 32, is the operation performed when a workpiece is mounted between the spindle and quill centers. Mark both ends of your workpiece by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The intersection point of these lines will show you the center of your workpiece. See the illustration in Figure 33 for details. Workpiece Pencil Lines Marked Diagonally Across Corners Workpiece Center Figure 32.
6. Use a wood mallet to embed the spur center at least 1⁄4" into the workpiece end center mark, as illustrated in Figure 34. 11. Position the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from the workpiece and approximately 1⁄8" above the center line, as illustrated in Figure 35. 1 ⁄4" Workpiece Distances ¼" 1 ⁄8" Center Line Tool Rest Figure 34. Spur center properly embedded. 7. 8. With the workpiece still attached, insert the spur center into the spindle.
Faceplate Turning 2. Faceplate turning, as shown in Figure 36, is when a workpiece is mounted to the faceplate that is then mounted to the spindle. This type of turning is usually done with open-faced workpieces like bowls or plates. Use the mark made in Step 1 to center the faceplate onto the workpiece back, then attach it with wood screws that do not have tapered heads as shown in Figure 38. Figure 38. Attaching the faceplate to a backing block, which is glued to the workpiece. 3. Figure 36.
Outboard Turning Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turning and is usually done when stock diameter is greater than 12''. For the size of the Model G0462 and its minimum turning speed, we recommend a maximum diameter of 17'' for outboard turning. The lathe setup at 90˚ for outboard turning uses the tool rest with the pivot arm extended, as shown in Figure 39.
ACCESSORIES SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES Installing unapproved accessories may cause machine to malfunction, resulting in serious personal injury or machine damage. To reduce this risk, only install accessories recommended for this machine by Grizzly. T25535—The New Turning Wood The appeal of woodturning is simple: with only a few hand tools and a lathe, remarkable results can be quickly achieved, including beautiful bowls, boxes in the round, lamp bases, and furniture parts.
H7924—6 pc. Chisel Set In Aluminum Box This Lathe Chisel Sets high speed steel blades and graceful ash handles provide plenty of control. Handles measure 10" long and chisels measure 15 1⁄ 2" long overall. Set includes a 3 ⁄ 16" parting tool, 1 ⁄ 2" round nose, 7⁄ 8" skew, 3 ⁄ 8" gouge, 1⁄ 2" gouge, and 1" gouge. All chisels are protected in a tough aluminum case. Figure 45. 6 pc. chisel set with aluminum case.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE Tailstock Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Schedule For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section. Daily Check: • Loose mounting bolts. • Worn switch. • Worn or damaged wires. • Damaged V-belt. • Any other unsafe condition. Cleaning Cleaning the Model G0462 is relatively easy.
Motor Shaft Lubrication The motor shaft must be properly lubricated to ensure the variable-speed pulley assembly can open and close smoothly when adjusted. Any common machine oil is acceptable for this purpose, but we recommend using a "dry" type lubricant, such as Grizzly model G2545 or G4682, to avoid attracting dust and prevent a build-up of grime. To lubricate motor shaft: 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! 2. Remove plastic cover shown in Figure 49 to access motor shaft ball oiler. 3.
