SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual, seek additional training from experienced
machine operators, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,
trade magazines, or websites.
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire
using machine.
To reduce risk of eye injury from flying
chips or lung damage from breathing dust,
always wear safety glasses and a respirator
when operating this machine.

BEFORE
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1.
Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-
able for cutting.
2.
If needed, changes blade for workpiece mate-
rial and verifies blade is tensioned correctly.
3.
Sets up work stop if needed for operation.
4.
Raises and locks headstock.
5.
Adjusts vise angle for operation and secure-
ly clamps workpiece in vise. Ensures
workpiece is stable and cutting area is free of
obstructions.
6.
Adjusts blade guide as close to workpiece as
possible.
7.
Adjusts spring tension for correct feed rate.
8.
Puts on safety glasses and respirator.
9.
Starts machine and adjusts blade speed.
10. Slowly lowers headstock until blade makes
contact with workpiece, then releases head-
stock so spring-controlled feed rate continues
to lower blade into workpiece until cut is
finished.
11. Stops machine, raises headstock, and
removes workpieces.
