SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing ser- vice adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

About Service

This section is designed to help the operator with adjustments that were made at the factory and that might also need to be made during the life of the machine.

This section is provided for your convenience—it is not a substitute for the Grizzly Service Department. If any adjustments arise that are not described in this manual, then feel free to call the Grizzly Service Department at (570) 546-9663.

Similarly, if you are unsure of how to perform any procedure in this section, the Grizzly Service Department will be happy to guide you through the procedures or help in any other way.

Gauge Blocks

Before attempting to adjust the table, you will need to construct a gauge block. See Figure 26. Do not use common 2x4 material. Use a hard wood material like maple or oak. A pattern for this gauge block has been provided for you on page 48 of this manual.

A good alternative is to use a Rotocator Figure 27. Use the Rotocator whenever the instructions call for use of the gauge block or feeler gauge. Refer to the current Grizzly catalog for rotocators.
