Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation.

The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly and 2) the stop button safety feature works correctly. For the G0461 only, you must also make sure that the motor turns the correct direction.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 43.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

Before starting the saw, make sure you have performed the preceding assembly and adjustment instructions, and you have read through the rest of the manual and are familiar with the various functions and safety features on this machine. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or even death!

To test run the machine:

1.Make sure you have read the safety instruc- tions at the beginning of the manual and that the machine is setup properly.

2.Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are cleared away from the machine.

3.Connect the machine to the power source.

4.Push the stop button in, then twist it clock- wise so it pops out.

5.Verify that the machine is operating correctly by turning it ON.

—When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

—Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. Always disconnect the machine from power when investigating or correcting potential problems.

6.Turn the machine OFF.

7.Push the STOP button.

8.Press the green ON button. The machine should not start.

—If the machine does not start, the STOP button safety feature is working correctly.

—If the machine does start (with the stop button pushed in), immediately disconnect power to the machine. The STOP button safety feature is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations. Call Tech Support for help.

9.FOR G0461 ONLY: Verify that the main blade is turning the correct direction by start- ing the motor, then stopping the motor while watching the main blade come to a stop.

—If the main blade turns clockwise (as stand- ing in front of the machine), it is turning in the correct direction.

—If the main blade turns counterclockwise (toward the rear of the machine), it is turning in the wrong direction. Stop the machine, disconnect it from power, then exchange any two of the three power wires in the terminal box. For additional help with this, contact our Technical Support Department at (570) 546-9663.

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. Their capabilities cater to a wide range of woodworking applications, making them reliable choices for anyone serious about crafting fine wood items.
