Guide Blocks - Grizzly G3619 Instruction Manual

Guide Blocks

The guide blocks ensure that the blade cannot
move side-to-side too far during operation.
Perform steps 1-4 for both upper and lower guide
blocks.
1.
Loosen the guide blocks from the center
setscrew in the guide bracket.
2.
The guide blocks should be approximately
.004" away from the blade. This number is
approximately the same as the single thick-
ness of a dollar bill.
3.
Fold a dollar bill once and slide it over the
blade so each side is between blade and the
blade guides as shown in Figure 12.

side of the blade.

4.
Lightly pinch the dollar between the blade
guides and the blade. Secure the cap screw
to lock the blade guides in place.
5.
Loosen the hex bolt that secures the blade
guide shaft to the guide post collar. Adjust
the blade guide assembly either forward or
backward, so the front blade guide is posi-
tioned not more than
the blade gullet as illustrated in Figure 13.
6.
Tighten the blade guide shaft hex bolt.
