Cutting Tips; Adjusting Hold-Down Bar - Grizzly G0828 Owner's Manual

Cutting Tips

• Keep the upper blade properly adjusted to
the lower blade (refer to Adjusting Blade
Gap on Page 24 for detailed instructions).
This will help ensure good cutting results and
avoid blade damage.
• Before each operation, clear cut-offs or debris
away from the shear.
• Make sure the 90° guide is square with the
blades (see Page 18). This will help ensure
the cut is square.
• Use the cutting lever to engage the hold-
down bar with the workpiece, then check the
workpiece position. If it is correct, continue
lowering the cutting lever to complete the cut.
• The shearing action of the blades works simi-
larly to a pair of scissors (see the illustration
in Figure 12). Use even pressure on the cut-
ting lever to produce good results.

Adjusting
Hold-Down Bar
The hold-down bar secures the workpiece to the
bed before the blades shear the workpiece.
The hold-down bar is adjustable for height. The
G0828 uses two adjustment hex bolts and hex
nuts (see Figure 13). The G0829 uses three
adjustment hex bolts and hex nuts.
