Test Run - Grizzly G0796 Owner's Manual

Test Run

Once assembly is complete, test run your machine
to make sure it runs properly and is ready for
regular operation.
The test run consists of verifying the following:
1) The motor powers up and runs correctly,
2) the spindle switch works correctly, and 3)
(G0797 only) the motor turns the correct direction
(machine is not wired out of phase).
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the machine immediately, then review
Troubleshooting on Page 51.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
DO NOT start machine until all preceding
setup instructions have been performed.
Operating an improperly set up machine
may result in malfunction or unexpect-
ed results that can lead to serious injury,
death, or machine/property damage.
