Warning: No portion of this manual may be reproduced in any shape
Or form without the written approval of Grizzly Industrial, inc.
(For models manufactured since 09/09) #JB12468 printed in CHINA
This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup,
operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this
document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual

may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation,
electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.
This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in
a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,
proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-
hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage
from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

Machine Description
Manufacture Date
of Your Machine The mill/drill is used to shape metal and solid
workpieces by removing material with the use of
a rotating cutting tool.

In milling operations, the cutting tool remains sta-

tionary while the workpiece is drawn across it by
moving the table.
For your convenience, we post all available man-
uals and manual updates for free on our website In drilling operations, the workpiece is held sta-
at www.grizzly.com. Any updates to your model tionary on the table while the cutting tool moves

 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 impor-
tance 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.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

COULd result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.

NOTICE This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
proper operation of the machine.

machines there is danger associated with the Model G0704. Accidents are frequently caused by
lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen
the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.

longitudinal feed can be locked in position by
table locks located on the front of the table (see

Cross Feed X-Axis Scale

The Y-axis shown in Figure 31, is moved with the
handwheel on the front of the table base. One

 SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power

to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.

Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any Figure 44. Vertical way lube location (both
specific instructions given in this section. sides).

Daily Check:
• Make sure mill/drill is disconnected from
power when not in use.
• Check for loose mounting bolts.
• Make sure mill/drill is clean and lubricated.
• Check for worn or damaged wires.
• Check for any other unsafe condition.

Monthly Check:
• Check that gibs are adjusted properly.

Biannual Check:
• Lubricate headstock lead screw and gears.

Figure 45. Cross way lube locations.

Lubrication
Regular lubrication will ensure your mill/drill per-
forms at its highest potential. Regularly wipe all
sliding surfaces with Primrose® Way Oil (Page 34)
or a light machine oil, then move the components
back and forth several times to ensure smooth
movements (Figures 44–46). Every six months,
or more often with heavy use, clean and lubricate
the leadscrews and vertical handwheel ring & pin-
ion gears, as outlined on Page 38.

Protect other unpainted cast iron surfaces with

regular applications of products like G96® Gun Figure 46. Longitudinal way lube locations.
