II. COMMENTARY
To operate this, or any power tool, safely and efficiently, it is essential to become as familiar with its
characteristics as possible. Take as much time as necessary to become acquainted with the Model
G1778 Power Feeder. The time you invest before you begin to use this machine will be time well
spent. If you do not understand something, do not operate this machine.
The specifications, drawings and photographs illustrated in this manual represent the Model G1778,
as supplied when the manual was prepared. However, owing to Grizzlys policy of continuous
improvement, changes to the Model G1778 may be made at any time with no obligation on the part

The information in this manual has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable and as up-to-
date as possible. We have focused primarily on the proper assembly and adjustment of your power
feeder as well as some basic information on using the power feeder on specific machines. We
have also included some important safety measures which we believe to be essential to this
machines operation. While most safety measures are generally universal, Grizzly cautions that each
workshop is different and safety rules should be considered
as they apply to your individual situa-
tion.
The primary function of the Model G1778 is to provide automated material handling capabilities for
your shaper or table saw. Feed speed is controlled by interchangeable gear systems which allow
you to customize the motor-to-drive wheel ratio giving you six possible speeds to choose from,
ranging from 16 to 52 feet-per-minute (FPM).
We recommend that your keep a current copy of the Grizzly catalog for complete information regard-
ing Grizzly warranty and return policy. Should you need additional technical information relating to
this machine, parts, or general assistance, please contact the appropriate regional service depart-
ment.
We also believe that additional information sources are very important to help you realize the full
potential of your woodworking equipment. Trade journals, woodworking magazines, woodworking
clubs and your local library all excellent sources of information.
