Infeed Table - Grizzly G1182 Instruction Manual

IX. ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)
2. Rotate the cutterhead by turning the motor
pulley. DO NOT grab the cutterhead itself.
Bring one blade to the approximate apex of its
arc.
3. Position a steel straightedge on the outfeed
table. Extend the straightedge over the middle
of the cutterhead. See Figure 17.
Figure 17. Illustrates the use of a straightedge
to ensure proper outfeed adjustment.
4. Loosen the table lock handle and raise or
lower the table with the lever until the straight-
edge barely touches one of the knives. Rock
the cutterhead to ensure that the blade is at
the highest point of its arc. Check the other
two blades in the same manner. If they do not
all touch the straightedge evenly, they are not
at the same height. You must reset the knives.
5. Adjust the stop bolt until it touches the cast
base. Tighten the table lock handle.
6. Tighten the checknut, loosen the table lock
handle, and move the table down with the
lever – then up against the stop. Check the
accuracy of the stop setting with a straight-
edge over the cutterhead and fine tune if nec-
essary.

D. INFEED TABLE
To adjust the infeed table:
1. Loosen the jam nut and unscrew the table
stop bolt out 3 or 4 turns. See Figure 18.
2. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it
hangs over the infeed table. Turn the cutter-
head so that the knives are NOT touching the
straightedge.
3. Loosen the infeed table lock handle. Raise the
infeed table until it just touches the straight-
edge. Tighten the table lock handle.
4. Turn the stop bolt until it makes contact with
the base casting.
5. Tighten the jam nut, loosen the table lock han-
dle, and move the table up and down to check
your settings. Align the depth of cut scale to
read zero.
