Fence Adjustment; Box Guards - Grizzly G1035 Instruction Manual

Fence Adjustment

The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each
fence is independently adjustable to compensate
for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-
ing applications. One turn of the knob moves the
split fence approximately
To adjust the fence:
1.
Loosen the fence lock handle.
2.
Turn the fence adjustment knob until the
fence is set to the desired position.
3. Tighten the fence lock handle.
More detailed information concerning Fence
adjustments is covered in the "Straight Shaping"
instructions later in this section.

Box Guards

You must use a box guard (Figure 28) while shap-
ing workpieces to provide additional protection for
your hands. However, Grizzly Industrial is not able
to provide a box guard with your shaper due to
variables beyond our control, including the dimen-
sions and orientation of your workpiece. Since we
cannot provide a box guard for all possible appli-
cations, you must build one.
The thickness of your workpiece will determine the
height of the box guard. Therefore, you will need
to build a separate box guard for each workpiece
of a different thickness. A box guard can be used
with or without a zero-clearance fence (Figure 28)
(See Page 26 for instructions on making a zero-
clearance fence).
The box guard attaches to the safety guard with
screws (Figure 30, Step 3) and should be used
with hold downs (Figure 29) or feather boards to
support the workpiece. Figure 30 illustrates the
basic steps for building a box guard and attach-
ing it to the safety guard. However, this is just an
example, and a wide range of box guard configu-
rations can be built to fit your specific application.
