Grizzly G3619 instruction manual Guide Blocks

Guide Blocks

The guide blocks ensure that the blade cannot move side-to-side too far during operation. Perform steps 1-4for both upper and lower guide blocks.

1.Loosen the guide blocks from the center setscrew in the guide bracket.

2.The guide blocks should be approximately

.004" away from the blade. This number is approximately the same as the single thick- ness of a dollar bill.

3.Fold a dollar bill once and slide it over the blade so each side is between blade and the blade guides as shown in Figure 12.

side of the blade.

4.Lightly pinch the dollar between the blade guides and the blade. Secure the cap screw to lock the blade guides in place.

5.Loosen the hex bolt that secures the blade guide shaft to the guide post collar. Adjust the blade guide assembly either forward or backward, so the front blade guide is posi- tioned not more than 1⁄4" behind the bottom of the blade gullet as illustrated in Figure 13.

6.Tighten the blade guide shaft hex bolt.
