Fence Adjustment - Grizzly G0510 Instruction Manual

Fence Adjustments
The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each
fence is independently adjustable to compensate
for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-
ing applications. See Figure 13. One turn of the
knob moves the split fence approximately
(.040"). When removing material from the whole
face of your workpiece, the outfeed fence should
be adjusted to the proper offset to provide support
for the workpiece as it passes over the cutter.
Read through the entire manual carefully
before attempting to make any cuts with
your shaper. Otherwise, serious personal
injury could occur.

To adjust the fence for straight shaping:
1. Loosen the lock handle.
2. Adjust the infeed fence by turning the knurled
adjustment knobs, so the cutter will remove
the desired amount of stock.
3. A test piece can help determine the best set-
ting. Select the wood for the test piece that
most closely resembles the actual workpiece.
4. Lock the infeed fence in position with the
locking handle to prepare to make a test cut.

The miter gauge should not be used to feed
material along the fence face when straight
shaping. Use a push stick and hold-downs
to keep the workpiece in position. The fence
may not always be perfectly parallel to the
miter slot; therefore, using the miter gauge
can cause binding and possible kickback of
the workpiece towards the operator. Serious
personal injury could occur if this happens.
5. Turn the shaper ON and advance a 36" or
longer test sample of the desired cut about
8'', then stop. Swing the test piece away from
the cutter and turn the machine OFF.
6. When the cutter comes to a complete stop,
adjust the outfeed fence to support the new
profiled edge. Lock the outfeed fence into
position and retest. See Figure 14 and
Figure 15 for improper and proper outfeed
fence positioning.
