SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and seek additional training from expe-
rienced machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire manual BEFORE
using machine.
To reduce risk of eye injury from flying
chips or lung damage from breathing dust,
always wear safety glasses and a respirator
when operating this machine.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.
This overview gives you the basic process that
happens during an operation with this machine.
Familiarize yourself with this process to better
understand the remaining parts of the
Operation
section.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
2. Adjusts the fence for the width of the workpiece
and then locks it in place.
3. Adjusts the fence tilt, if necessary, to the cor-
rect angle.
4. Adjusts the infeed table height for the initial
cut.
5. Checks the outfeed side of the machine
for proper support and to make sure the
workpiece can safely pass all the way beyond
the cutterhead without interference from other
objects.
6. Wears safety glasses, respirator, and ear
protection, and locates the push blocks.
7. Starts the machine.
8. Using the push blocks, holds the workpiece
firmly and flatly against both the infeed table
and fence, and then pushes the workpiece
past the cutterhead at a steady and con-
trolled rate until the workpiece moves com-
pletely beyond the cutterhead.
9. Repeats Steps 5–8 until satisfied with the
results.
10. Stops the machine.
