Assembly & Setup Mounting; Lubrication; Chucks - Grizzly G4003 Manual Insert

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY & SETUP
Mounting
This lathe should be securely mounted to a stand
or bench top. An accessory stand is available
from Grizzly, please see our current catalog for
pricing. There are 2 holes in the base at the tail-
stock end of the lathe and four holes on the gear-
head end which can be used to secure the
machine to a stand.
The lathe does not require a great deal of assem-
bly. This section details the installation of the var-
ious accessory holding devices. The following
section will familiarize you with the controls for
your new lathe. After you have completed both of
these sections we will do a test run of the
machine. Do not attempt a test run until you have
become familiar with both of these sections.
DO NOT attempt to start this machine until
you have completed all of the assembly and
control familiarization steps. When per-
forming the assembly steps, ensure that
the switch is off and the power is discon-
nected. Failure to comply with this could
cause inadvertent starting of the machine
which can result in serious operator injury.

Lubrication

The G4002/3 is shipped from the factory pre-
lubricated. However, it is recommended that you
go through the entire lubrication sequence before
operating the machine. Review Section 7:
Maintenance for
Lubrication must be completed before you
start your new lathe.

Chucks

The Model G4002/3 Metal Lathe comes equipped
with a 6'' 3-jaw chuck (already installed), a 8'' 4-
jaw chuck and a face plate.
The 3-jaw chuck is a scroll-type chuck, meaning
that all three jaws move in unison when adjust-
ments are made. The 4-jaw chuck, on the other
hand, features independent jaws. The 4-jaw
chuck is used for square or unevenly-shaped
stock.
The 3 and 4-jaw chucks have a D-1 Camlock
mount. Please note that there are lines stamped
into the cam and on the chuck body. A chuck key
is used to turn the locking cams as in Figure 2.

ALWAYS place a piece of plywood over the
ways of the lathe before removing or
installing a chuck. This helps by covering
the sharp corners of the bed, protecting
your hands and fingers. Use extreme care
when removing or installing a chuck so
that your hands do not become trapped
between the chuck and the plywood.
