Changing Blades - Grizzly G0460/G0461 Owner's Manual

Changing Blades

The Model G0460/G0461 performs best when
high quality, sharp blades are used. Therefore,
whenever the blades start to get dull, we rec-
ommend that you have them resharpened or
replaced with a new blade.
To change the blades:
1.
DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2.
Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table)
and raise the main blade as high as it will
go.
3. Slide the table all the way forward to access
the blade arbor, loosen the bolt securing the
lower blade guard, slide the bolt up, and pull
open the lower blade guard shown in Figure
48.

4.
Place a hex wrench in the hole in the arbor
of the blade you wish to change to prevent
the arbor from rotating, then use the arbor
wrench to remove the arbor nut and flange.
Note: The arbor nut on the main blade has
left hand threads and loosens by turning
clockwise. The arbor nut on the scoring blade
has right hand threads and loosens by turn-
ing counterclockwise.

5.
When replacing the scoring blade, measure
the main blade carbide teeth and stack the
scoring blade with shims to match this thick-
ness.
6.
Install the main blade with the teeth facing to
the right (as standing in front of the machine),
and install the scoring blade with the teeth
facing the back of the saw.
7.
Re-install the arbor flange and the arbor nut,
then tighten them against the blade as shown
in Figure 49.
Note: Wear gloves to protect your hands
when installing or removing blades.

8.
Position the riving knife about 3mm or
away from the nearest carbide tooth on the
main blade.
Note: For a quick gauge, use the 3mm hex
wrench to find the correct spacing between
the blade and the riving knife.
9.
Align the scoring blade to the main blade as
described in the Aligning Blade instructions
on Page 28.
10. Align the riving knife with the blades as
instructed on Page 25.
11. Move the lower blade guard back into its
original position and lock it in place with the
bolt.
