Safety Instructions for Sliding Table Saws

1.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use the blade guard and riving knife on all ''through- sawing'' operations. Through-sawing oper- ations are those when the blade cuts com- pletely through the workpiece.

2.KICKBACK. Kickback is defined as high speed expulsion of stock from the table saw toward the operator. Until you have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw!

3.WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the workpiece is placed in a stable position on the table and is either supported by the rip fence or the crosscut table during cutting operations.

4.PUSH STICK. Always use a push stick when ripping narrow stock.

5.OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or have any part of your body directly in-line with the cutting path of the saw blade.

6.REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never reach behind or over the blade with either hand while the saw is running. If kick- back occurs while reaching over the blade, hands or arms could be pulled into the spinning saw blade.

7.RIP FENCE USAGE. When using the crosscut fence, the workpiece should never contact the rip fence while the saw blade is cutting.

8.STALLED BLADE. Turn the saw OFF before "freeing" a stalled saw blade.

9.AWKWARD OPERATIONS. Avoid awk- ward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the spinning saw blade.

10.BLADE HEIGHT. Always adjust the blade to the proper height above the workpiece.

11.DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades that have been dropped or dam- aged. A damaged blade could lose teeth while turning, causing injury or death.

12.RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT. Only oper- ate the saw if the riving knife is aligned with the main blade to prevent kickback.

13.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties per- forming the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at (570) 546-9663.

Like all machines there is danger associat- ed with the Model G0460/G0461. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

G0461, G0460 specifications

The Grizzly G0460 and G0461 are renowned woodworking machines in the arena of jointers and planers, designed specifically to meet the needs of both amateur woodworkers and professional craftsmen. These machines are celebrated for their engineering excellence, offering robust features and advanced technologies that facilitate precision in woodworking projects.

The Grizzly G0460 is a 6-inch jointer that is engineered for efficiency and accuracy, boasting a powerful 1 HP motor. This model is particularly suitable for achieving flat surfaces on wooden boards, with its precision-machined cast iron table providing an exceptionally smooth finish. The G0460's adjustable infeed and outfeed tables ensure optimal alignment, enabling users to handle both narrow and wide stock with ease. The jointer also features a convenient fence system that can be locked at a 90-degree angle or angled up to 45 degrees for bevel cuts, making it a versatile addition to any workshop.

In contrast, the Grizzly G0461 is an 8-inch version of its counterpart, offering increased capacity and capabilities for larger projects. With a similar 1 HP motor, the G0461 allows users to joint wider boards, making it ideal for serious woodworkers who demand higher performance levels. The machine's heavy-duty construction features a cast iron base and table, which not only add stability but also minimize vibrations during operation for enhanced accuracy.

Both models utilize helical cutter heads, which significantly improve the cutting experience. This technology employs multiple small, indexed carbide inserts that provide a smoother cut, reduce noise, and prolong the life of the cutter. The ease of changing the inserts enhances usability, making maintenance less cumbersome for users.

Moreover, safety features such as the blade guard are incorporated into both models, ensuring operator protection. The adjustable depth of cut allows for customized finishes, giving users control over the smoothing process.

In summary, the Grizzly G0460 and G0461 are exceptional tools that combine power, precision, and innovative design.
