NOTICE
If you have never used this type of machine or equipment before, WE STRONGLY RECOM- MEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training before beginning any projects. Regardless of the content in this instruction sheet, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.
We stress the importance of working with good qual- ity material and insuring that all pieces are machined the same and that all ends and edges are cut square. Follow all recommended safety procedures and always test your setup using sample pieces.
If this is your first time performing panel door con- struction, start simple by making a square door.

If your proj- ect requires curved pieces then freehand shaping will be necessary. Remove the fence(s) and always incorporate the use of a starting pin or block to sup- port the workpiece as it is initially fed into the cutter. Always use some type of jig or
