Dust Collection; Setting Outfeed Table Height - Grizzly G0654 Owner's Manual

Dust Collection

DO NOT operate the Model G0654 without an
adequate dust collection system. This jointer
creates substantial amounts of wood dust
while operating. Failure to use a dust collec-
tion system can result in short and long-term
respiratory illness.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine
the CFM at the dust port, you must consider
these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust col-
lector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number
of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other
open lines throughout the system. Explaining
how to calculate these variables is beyond the
scope of this manual. Consult an expert or pur-
chase a good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect the machine to a dust collector:
1.
Fit a 4" dust hose that is connected to a dust
collector over the dust port, as shown in
Figure 33, and secure in place with a hose
clamp.

2. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
The outfeed table height MUST be level with the
knives 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:
1.
DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!
2.
Move the cutterhead guard out of the way or
remove it, and open the rear access panel.
3.
Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so
it extends over the cutterhead and rotate the
cutterhead pulley until one of the knives is at
top-dead-center (TDC) (Figure 34).

4.
When correctly set, the knife will just touch
the straightedge when the knife is at its high-
est point of rotation (Figure 35), and the
straightedge should move
infeed table when the cutterhead pulley is
rotated.
