Setting Outfeed Table Height - Grizzly G0490W Owner's Manual

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
The outfeed table height must be even with the
top of the cutterhead knives. If the outfeed table is
set too low, there will be snipe. If the outfeed table
is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of
the outfeed table during operation, increasing the
chance of kickback.
