Operation Overview; Disabling & Locking Switch - Grizzly G0651 User Manual

Operation Overview

the purpose of this overview is to provide the
novice machine operator with a basic understand-
ing of how the machine is used during a typical
operation, so the 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, read "how to" books, and seek additional
training from experienced machine operators.
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 blade tilt, if necessary, to the cor-
rect angle of the desired cut.
3.
adjusts the blade height no more than
higher than the thickness of the workpiece.
4.
adjusts the fence to the desired width of cut
then locks it in place.
5. Checks the outfeed side of the machine
for proper support and to make sure the
workpiece can safely pass all the way through
the blade without interference.
6. puts on safety glasses and a respirator.
locates push sticks/blocks if needed.
7. starts the saw.
8. Feeds the workpiece all the way through the
blade while maintaining firm pressure on the
workpiece against the table and fence, and
keeping hands and fingers out of the blade
path and away from the blade.
9.
stops the machine immediately after the cut
is complete.
