Grizzly G0449 instruction manual

13.Tighten all the lock nuts.

14.Check the height of the drum ends to make sure they did not move.

—If they did not move, continue to the next step.

—If they did move, repeat Steps 11-12.

15.Raise the table up until the gauge blocks just touch the rear drum, as described in Step 7.

16.Adjust the height of the front drum ends by loosening the locknuts and sliding the pillow bearing up or down along the wedge until the largest size feeler gauge you can fit between the front drum and gauge blocks at both ends is 0.015". This will reflect the rear drum depth of cut.

Note: The 0.015" setting is based off the suggested depth of cut in the SECTION

4:OPERATIONS; however, you can set the front drum between 0.005" and 0.025", depending on the sandpaper grit size you will use (ie, coarse grit = larger number; fine grit = smaller number).

17.At both ends, measure the distance between the edge of the front drum and the front upper frame, as shown in Figure 38. The difference between these two measurements will tell you how close the drum is to being perpen- dicular to the feed direction.

—If the difference between the two measure- ments at each end are within 1⁄8", skip to Step 19.

—If the difference between the two measure- ments at each end is more than 1⁄8", con- tinue to the next step.

18.Go to the end of the drum that has the great- est distance between the rear upper frame, and adjust the wedge bolt counterclockwise until the distance between the upper frame angle is within 1⁄8" of the other end.

19.Tighten all the lock nuts.

20.Check the height of the drum ends to make sure they did not move.

—If they did not move, you have successfully adjusted the drums. Congratulations!

—If they did move, repeat Steps 17-18.

21.Calibrate the scale pointer as described on Page 37.
