Adjusting Vise - Grizzly G0783 Owner's Manual

Adjusting Vise

The Model G0783 features a self-centering vise
that provides maximum support, while still pro-
viding enough clearance for cutting at a variety
of angles.
Each vise jaw is independently adjustable left or
right to provide proper blade clearance for the cut.
Tools Needed:
Hex Wrench 6mm .............................................. 1
NOTICE
Prior to cutting, jaws must be checked for
blade clearance. Failure to do this could
cause blade to contact vise during cut,
resulting in damage to machine.
