Installing & Tensioning Blade - Grizzly G0504 Owner's Manual

Installing &
Tensioning Blade
These instructions are
hazardous if done while
the machine is connect-
ed to power. Disconnect
power during this entire
procedure!
Blade installation can be done by one person but
is easiest if done with two people.
To install and tension the blade:
1. Put on safety glasses and heavy leather
gloves.
2. Open the wheel cover to gain access to the
wheels.
3. Hold the blade from each side, and position
it in front of the wheels so the blade teeth are
facing the front of the machine.
4. Carefully fit the blade over each wheel,
and position it between the blade guides
as shown in Figure 13. Make sure the
teeth point toward the right-hand side of the
machine, as you are facing the front.

tooth gullet is approximately
