Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation.

The test run consists of verifying the following:

1)The motor powers up and runs correctly, and

2)the key switch shuts off power power to the machine when in the off position.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 44.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

To test run the machine:

1.Make sure you have read the safety instruc- tions at the beginning of the manual and that you have followed all previous setup instruc- tions in this section.

2.Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are cleared away from the machine and that the wheel covers are closed and latched.

3.Connect the machine to the power source.

4.Lower the upper blade guide assembly to approximately 1" over the table.

5.Turn the variable speed dial counterclock- wise (toward the SLOW side) all the way.

6.Turn the power key switch to the ON posi- tion.

7.Press START, allow the bandsaw to run for two seconds, then press STOP. This will give the blade enough time to start tracking off the wheel if the tracking is set incorrectly.

8.Look through the blade tracking window (see Figure 21) and notice the position of the blade on the wheel.

G0640X specifications

The Grizzly G0640X is a robust and versatile table saw designed for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists seeking to complete a variety of woodworking projects with precision and ease. Known for its durability and a variety of advanced features, the G0640X stands out in the marketplace for its exceptional performance capabilities.

At the heart of the G0640X is a powerful 3HP motor, which provides ample strength to cut through a wide range of materials, from hardwoods to engineered wood products. This motor is complemented by a dual voltage capability, allowing users to operate on either 120V or 240V power sources, which enhances versatility in different workshop environments.

One of the standout features of the Grizzly G0640X is its precision-ground cast iron table, which measures 30 inches by 48 inches.

The saw also includes an advanced blade-raising mechanism, allowing for easy height adjustments while providing precision in blade depth settings. The rack and pinion system for the fence enhances the ease of making accurate adjustments, ensuring that users can achieve precise cuts consistently.

Safety is a prime consideration in the design of the G0640X. The saw features a heavy-duty cabinet-style base that guards against vibrations, providing a stable cutting environment. Additionally, the inclusion of a blade guard and riving knife enhances user safety during operation, reducing the risk of kickbacks and injuries.

Another noteworthy aspect is the dust collection system integrated into the design, which helps maintain a cleaner workspace by effectively capturing sawdust and debris during cutting. This reduces cleanup time and promotes a healthier workshop environment.

In terms of mobility, the G0640X includes sturdy wheels and handles for easy transport within the shop or to job sites. Quality and craftsmanship are evident throughout the build, making it a reliable choice for those looking to invest in a long-lasting table saw.
