MODEL G0549

24" CUT-OFF SAW

Manual Update

This machine has changed slightly from when the manual was originally written. It now includes a deluxe blade guard, a workpiece holding mechanism, and dual start buttons to prevent access to the blade during operations. This update includes instructions for setting up the guard before each use and operating the machine with its new components, and a parts breakdown and list for the new components.

Before operating the machine, you MUST read and understand this manual update AND the original manual to reduce the risk of injury from improper use or setup. Since this update covers changes made to the machine after the owner's manual was printed, you MUST keep this update with your owner's manual for future reference. If you have questions, contact Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 or by email at techsupport@grizzly.com.

New Blade Guard

We improved the blade guard by installing a stake-type guard on the infeed side and one-way hinged guard flaps on the outfeed side.

To prepare the blade guard for operation:

1.Place the workpiece on the machine against the fence and approximately 1" away from the guard.

2.For each guard stake, loosen the wing screw, then adjust the height approximately 1" above the stock you plan to cut. This will allow ade- quate clearance for inserting the stock but help keep fingers or hands out of the cutting area.

Note: The two guard stakes above the workpiece holding mechanism must be left high enough to not interfere with the mecha- nism during operation.

Operation

When properly assembled, the changes to the machine help keep hands away from the blade during operation; however, this requires different procedures from those described in the Model G0549 owner's manual.

To operate the G0549:

1.Perform Steps 1–3on Page 25 of the Model G0549 manual to prepare the machine and stock for operation. Make sure to place the end of the stock firmly against the stop and the side of the stock against the fence.

2.Press the START button on the control panel to turn the motor ON, then allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
