Test Run - Grizzly G5913Z Owner's Manual

Table Inserts
The Model G5913Z/G7215Z is supplied with a
specially cutout table insert that allows the spindle
to be tilted. When deciding whether or not to uti-
lize the table insert, use the smallest opening that
a particular cutter will allow. This offers more sup-
port for the workpiece and reduces the amount of
chips that can fall into the machine. The correct
spindle opening also allows any unused portion
of the cutter to remain below the table surface—
increasing operator protection.
The cast iron table insert must be flush with the
top of the table.
To adjust the insert:
1.
Remove the three Phillips
hold the cast iron insert in place.
2.
Using a straightedge and a screwdriver, turn
the barrel screws clockwise or counterclock-
wise to level the larger table insert with the
table (Figure 27).

3.
Inspect the table insert with the straightedge
from both side-to-side and front-to-back to
ensure it is flush with the table. Replace and
secure the Phillips

Test Run

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, inspect the machine for
loose nuts, bolts, tools or any unsafe condition.
Correct as necessary, then connect the machine
to the power source.
DO NOT have a cutter installed when you test
run the shaper. Turn on the power supply at the
main panel. Press the START button. Make sure
that your finger is poised on the STOP button,
just in case there is a problem. The shaper should
run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
If the shaper seems to be running correctly,
check the directional switch. The spindle should
be rotating in a counterclockwise direction when
the switch is in the FORWARD position. Run the
Model G5913Z/G7215Z for a short time to ensure
that the moving parts are working properly with no
excessive vibration. If any problem develops, cor-
rect it before attempting to use the machine.
If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises,
immediately contact our service department for
help.
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
Never use the Model G5913Z/G7215Z for
applications other than those for which
it was intended. DO NOT overload the
machine or use excessive force when shap-
ing materials. Severe personal injury, dam-
age to the machine, or damage to your
workpiece could occur.
