Additional Safety For Mortising Machines - Grizzly G0448 Owner's Manual

Additional Safety for Mortising Machines

1. HAND PROTECTION. Do not place your
hands under an installed chisel at any
time or near the chisel while the spindle
is in motion. Chisels may become hot dur-
ing operation! Allow chisels to cool before
handling. Chisels are sharp! Always use
caution when handling, especially when
installing or removing.
2. USING CORRECT MATERIALS. Do not
use the machine for anything except mor-
tising in wood. Materials such as met-
als, plastics, and glass can damage the
machine, resulting in personal injury.
3. RESPIRATOR AND SAFETY GLASSES.
Always wear a respirator and safety glass-
es while operating the machine. Dust and
chips are created when mortising. Some
debris will be ejected, becoming hazards to
the eyes and lungs.
Like all machines there is potential danger
associated with the Model G0448. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.

4. CHISEL COMPATIBILITY. Make sure the
mortising bit fits a minimum of
chuck.
5. ADJUSTMENTS. Do not adjust the
machine or workpiece while the mortiser
is running. Wait for the spindle to come to
a complete stop and unplug the machine
before continuing.
6. INSPECTING MACHINE. Inspect the
machine for smooth head casting move-
ment, loose drill bits/chisel housing, and
loose nuts/bolts before connecting the
machine to power and operating. Correct
any problems before use.
7. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties per-
forming the intended operation, stop using
the machine! Contact Tech Support at
(570) 546-9663.

Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
