To operate this or any power tool safely and effi-

ciently, it is essential to become as familiar with it

as possible. The time you invest before you begin

to use your Model G1067Z will be time well spent.

DO NOT operate this machine until you are

completely familiar with the contents of

this manual. Serious personal injury may

occur.

G1067Z Wood Lathe -3-

12. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PRO-

TECTION. Also use a DUST MASK if the

operation is dusty.

13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and

safest performance. Follow instructions for

lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER

before servicing and when changing

accessories.

16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make

sure the switch is in the “OFF” position

before plugging in the cord.

17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not oper-

ate the machine until you are certain it is in

perfect running condition.

18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING

UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do

not leave the tool until it comes to a full

stop.

19. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL IF USING

DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.

20. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate

machine if you are fatigued.

21. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO

NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND

ABOUT THIS TOOL, DO NOT OPER-

ATE IT! Ask for help first. Confusion

can lead to disaster.

22. BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS.

Review all safety procedures often.

These safety rules cannot cover every situation

in a woodshop. Consider your conditions when

setting up or operating your Wood Lathe.

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the

owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s

applications and limitations, as well as its

particular hazards.

2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in

working order.

3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is

used to accommodate a two-prong recep-

tacle, the adapter plug must be attached to

a known ground. Never remove the

grounding prong.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that

keys and wrenches are removed from the

machine before turning it on.

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered

areas and benches invite accidents.

6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.

Do not use power tools in damp or wet

locations or expose them to rain. Keep

your work area well lighted.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS

AWAY. All children and visitors should be

kept a safe distance away from your work

area.

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with

padlocks, master switches, or by remov-

able starter keys.

9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better

and safer when they are allowed to per-

form at their own speed.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry

that can get caught in moving parts. Non-

slip footwear must be worn. Long hair

should be tied back or wear a hat.

11. NEVER STAND ON, OR LEAN ON THE

TOOL. Doing so could cause injury.

Unpacking

The Model G1067Z Wood Lathe is shipped from

the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If

you discover the machine is damaged after

you’ve signed for delivery, please call Customer

Service immediately for advice.

Save the containers and all packing materials for

possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.

Otherwise, filing a freight claim can be difficult.

The G1067Z is a heavy machine (190 lbs.

shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert your-

self while unpacking or moving your

machine – get assistance. In the event that

your lathe must be moved up or down a

flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are

capable of supporting the combined

weight of people and the machine. Serious

personal injury may occur.

Clean up Site Considerations

Working Clearances: Consider existing and

anticipated needs, size of material to be

processed through each machine, and space for

auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery

when establishing a home for your Wood Lathe.

Allow sufficient room to safely run your machines

in any foreseeable operation.

Follow the safety rules listed below when

working with solvents. Failure to do so may

result in serious personal injury.

1. Read and follow all directions and

warnings on the solvent label.

2. Work only in a well ventilated area.

3. Do not work near any type of open

flame (e.g., pilot lights, kerosene

heaters, and so on).

4. DO NOT smoke while working with

flammable material.

5. Paper towels from the cleaning

process are extremely combustible.

Dispose of waste towels so they do not

create a fire hazard.

The bed and other unpainted parts of the

Model G1067Z are coated with a waxy oil

that protects them from corrosion during

shipment. Remove the protective coating

with mineral spirits and paper towels. DO

NOT use gasoline or other petroleum

based solvents because of their extremely

low flash points. Serious personal injury

may occur. DO NOT use chlorine-based

solvents – if you happen to splash some

onto a painted surface, you will ruin the fin-

ish.

Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be

bright enough to eliminate shadow and

prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits

should be dedicated or large enough to

handle amperage requirements. Outlets

should be located near each machine so

power or extension cords are clear of high-

traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes

for proper installation of new lighting, out-

lets, or circuits.

Floor Load: Your G1067Z Lathe represents

a large weight load in a small footprint.

Most commercial floors are suitable for the

Model G1067Z. Some residential floors

may require additional build up to support

both machine and operator.

-6- G1067Z Wood Lathe

Circuit Requirements

Be sure that your particular electrical con-

figuration complies with local and state

codes. The best way to ensure compliance

is to check with your local municipality or

licensed electrician.

The motor supplied with the G1067Z is

wired for 110V only. Under normal use, the

motor draws approximately 10 amps @

110V. We recommend using a 15 amp cir-

cuit breaker or a 20 amp fuse for 110V

operation. This should be satisfactory for

normal use, while providing enough pro-

tection against motor damage caused by

power surges. The circuit you use should

be dedicated, (i.e., the G1067Z should pro-

vide the only draw from that circuit). If fre-

quent circuit failures occur when using the

Wood Lathe, contact our service depart-

ment or your local electrical contractor.

This equipment must be grounded. Please

ensure that the Wood Lathe is continuous-

ly grounded from the motor to the machine

frame and then to a known ground. Verify

that any existing electrical outlet and cir-

cuit you intend to plug into is actually

grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to

run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding

wire from the outlet to a known ground.

Under no circumstances should the

grounding pin from any three-pronged

plug be removed.

Extension Cords: If used, extension cords

must be rated Hard Service (grade S) or

better. Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G.

for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your

extension cord must also contain a ground

wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace

extension cords if they become damaged.

G1067Z Wood Lathe -7-

Pre-assembly

Assembly of the G1067Z is straightforward. We

have organized the assembly process into steps.

Please follow them in sequence.

Tools Required: Only a few common tools are

needed to assemble this machine. Specifically, a

6" adjustable wrench, 12mm open end wrench,

regular and Phillips®head screwdriver and an

8mm Allen®wrench.

SECTION 2: ASSEMBLY

Stand

Figure 1.

1. Locate all four stand legs and the two end

panels. Attach an end panel to any two of the

legs using the 10 - 24 x 3⁄8'' Phillips®Head

Screws provided. Figure 1. Repeat this step

for the remaining end panel/legs. Do not

tighten any fasteners during the assembly of

the stand until specifically instructed other-

wise.

All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge

(called “flashing”) on them after they are

formed. This is removed at the factory.

Sometimes though, a bit of flashing might

escape inspection. Please examine the

edges of all die-cut metal parts before han-

dling them.

4. With an assistant, set the lathe bed assem-

bly on the stand, orienting the front of the

headstock with the switch opening in the

stand leg. Bolt the lathe bed to the stand

using the eight 5⁄16'' - 18 x 11⁄4'' Cap Screws

and Hex Nuts supplied and tighten down.

Figure 4.

5. At this point tighten down all the bolts on the

stand. It is a good idea to do this with the

lathe set in place where it will be used.

2. Bolt the upper mount plate and the short

stand support to each end assembly using

the 5⁄16'' - 18 x 3⁄4'' carriage bolts provided.

Figure 2.

3. Attach the long stand supports to each end

assembly using the 5⁄16'' - 18 x 3⁄4'' carriage

bolts provided. Figure 3.

G1067Z Wood Lathe -9-

Installing the Switch

Figure 5.

Figure 6.

1. Locate the on/off switch and the front and

rear covers which will be held in place by two

Phillips®head screws.

2. Make sure the wiring from the switch goes

through the rear cover box. Position the

switch in the opening in the left front leg of

the stand. Figure 5. Attach the two green

ground wires to the stand (see arrow) using

the Phillips® screw provided.

3. Line up the front cover, the switch and the

rear cover with the holes in the stand and

attach using two 10 - 24 x 1" Phillips®head

screws and nuts.

4. Locate the plug-in connector coming from

the motor and connect it with the connector

coming from the switch. Figure 6 shows a

properly assembled switch and the connec-

tor.

Do not plug cord in until you are ready to

test run the lathe. See Test Run section for

instructions before initial run.

This equipment must be grounded. Please

ensure that this machine is continuously

grounded from the motor to the machine

frame and then to a known ground. Verify that

any existing electrical outlet and circuit you

intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is

not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12

A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet

to a known ground. Under no circumstances

should the grounding pin from any three-

pronged plug be removed. Serious injury

may occur.
