Grizzly G0555 instruction manual Table Tilt, Guide Post, To tilt the table

Here are some basic tips to follow when oper- ating the bandsaw:

¥Replace and clean blades as necessary and make adjustments periodically to keep the saw always running in top condition.

¥Use light and even pressure while cutting. Light contact with the blade will permit easier line following and prevent undue friction and heat.

¥Avoid trying to turn sharp corners because this will twist the blade. Remember, you must SAW around corners.

¥Misuse of the saw or using incorrect sawing techniques can be unsafe as well as result in frustration and poor cuts. RememberÑthe blade does the cutting with the operatorÕs guidance.

Table Tilt

The bandsaw table will tilt 10û left and 45û right to provide a wide range of cutting options.

To tilt the table:

1.Loosen the two plastic knobs underneath the table that lock the table trunnion.

2.Position the table to the desired angle of tilt. Refer to the angle gauge on the front table trunnion for the tilting angle.

3.Retighten both plastic knobs.

NOTICE

If setting table tilt to the left, it will be nec- essary to remove the positive stop.

Guide Post

The guide post (shown in Figure 28) connects the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. The function of the guidepost is to allow the blade guide assembly to move up or down depending on the height of the workpiece being cut. In order to cut accurately, the blade guide assembly must be no more than 1" from the top of the workpiece at all timesÑthis positioning provides the great- est support to the blade.
