Assembly; Setting Outfeed Table Height - Grizzly G0634X Manual

Assembly

Models G0634Z and G0634XP come fully assem-
bled except for installation of the cutterhead
guard (see Figure 21). The cutterhead guard
helps to protect hands and fingers from the rotat-
ing cutterhead during jointing operations. The
cutterhead guard MUST be installed before oper-
ating this machine.
To install the cutterhead guard:
Remove the shaft lock knob and insert the
1.
cutterhead guard shaft into the bracket hole
as shown in Figure 21.

Move the fence forward until it touches the

cutterhead guard.
Thread the lock knob into the bracket so
3.
the threads fit into the shaft groove (see
Figure 21), and secure the guard into place.
Adjust the guard and lock knob as needed so
the guard fully covers the cutterhead.
Test the guard by pulling it back and letting
4.
go. The rubber bumper on the guard should
hit the fence when the guard comes back.
— Guard should snap back over cutterhead
without dragging across table.
— If guard drags across table, raise it until it
won't drag, then tighten shaft lock.
— If guard does not snap back, remove it and
repeat Steps 1–3.

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
The outfeed table height MUST be level with the
carbide inserts when they are at top-dead-center.
If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece
will be tapered from front to back. If the outfeed
table is set too high, the workpiece will hit
the edge of the outfeed table during operation,
increasing the chance of kickback.
To set the outfeed table height:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
1.
Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so
2.
it extends over the cutterhead.
Open the motor access panel and rotate the
3.
cutterhead pulley until one of the carbide
inserts is at top-dead-center (TDC), as illus-
trated in Figure 22.
