Additional Safety For Cnc Routers - Grizzly G0931 Owner's Manual

Additional Safety for CNC Routers

You can be seriously injured or killed by getting clothing, jewelry, or long hair entangled with
rotating cutter/spindle. You can be severely cut or have fingers amputated from contact with
rotating cutters. You can be blinded or struck by broken cutting tools, wood chips, improperly
secured workpieces, or adjustment tools thrown from rotating spindle with great force. To
reduce risk of serious injury when operating this machine, heed and understand the following:
UNDERSTAND ALL CONTROLS. Make sure
you understand the function and proper use of all
controls before starting. This will help you avoid
making mistakes that result in serious injury.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. DO NOT wear
loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back
long hair. Keep all guards in place, secure, and
properly operating. Always allow spindle to stop
on its own. DO NOT stop spindle using your hand
or any other object.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Always wear safety
glasses. This provides protection for your eyes
from wood chips or broken cutting tools.
USE CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED. Use proper
speeds and feeds for each size and type of cutting
tool as recommended by tool manufacturer. This
helps avoid injury risk from tool breakage during
operation and ensures best cutting results.
FIRE HAZARD. To reduce risk of fire, always
use proper feeds and speeds for cutting tool and
workpiece type. Avoid operations that dwell in
one place. Be aware of signs of fire and keep fire
extinguisher nearby. Chips and dust collection
can disguise embers and smoke. Prepare a fire
safety plan and ensure it is practiced by all oper-
ators. Never operate machine unattended unless
workspace has a lights-out fire prevention system.
INSPECT CUTTING TOOL. Inspect cutting tools
for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use.
Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools
immediately. Do not use damaged tools as they
are likely to break apart and could hit user with
great speed and force.

PROPERLY SECURE CUTTER. Firmly secure
cutting tool so it does not fly out of spindle during
operation.
PROPERLY COLLECT DUST. Only use dust
collector to clear chips while spindle is turning.
DO NOT clear chips by hand when cleaning. Only
use a brush or shop vacuum when spindle/axes
are NOT turning or moving.
SECURE WORKPIECE TO TABLE. Secure
workpiece to table
unexpectedly move or spin during operation.
NEVER hold workpiece by hand during operation.
PROPERLY MAINTAIN
machine in proper working condition to help
ensure that it functions safely and all guards and
other components work as intended. Perform
routine inspections and all required mainte-
nance. Never operate machine with damaged or
worn parts that can break or result in unexpected
movement during operation.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. To reduce
risk of electrocution or injury from unexpected
startup, make sure CNC router is turned OFF,
disconnected from power, and all moving parts
are completely stopped before changing cutting
tools or performing any inspection, adjustment, or
maintenance procedure.
REMOVE SPINDLE TOOLS. Always remove
wrenches and other tools used on the spindle
immediately after use. This will prevent them from
being thrown by the spindle upon startup.
