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 smoothly and without vibration and 2) the stop button safety feature works correctly.

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 37.

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

Before starting the jointer/planer, make sure you have performed the preceding assem- bly 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 seri- ous personal injury or even death!

To test run the machine:

1.Make sure you understand 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.Make sure the jointer tables are folded down and locked in place (see Page 25).

4.Connect the machine to the power source.

5.Push the EMERGENCY OFF button in, then twist it clockwise so it pops out. See Figure 1, Page 7 for location of the EMERGENCY OFF button. When the OFF button pops out, the switch is reset and ready for operation (see Figure 17).

6.Verify that the machine is operating correctly by pushing the green ON button.

—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.

7.Press the EMERGENCY OFF button to stop the machine.

8.WITHOUT resetting the switch, press the ON button. The machine should not start.

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

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

9.Press the ON button, then immediately press the OFF button on the magnetic box (Figure 1, Page 7).

—If the machine turns off, the OFF button is working correctly. The Test Run is com- plete.

—If the machine does not stop, disconnect power to the machine. The OFF button is not working correctly. This feature must work properly before proceeding with regu- lar operations. Call Tech Support for help.

G0633/G0634 specifications

The Grizzly G0633 and G0634 models are two impressive machines in the realm of woodworking and metalworking equipment. Both models have gained a loyal following among woodworkers and metal fabricators for their exceptional performance, reliability, and innovative features.

One of the most prominent characteristics of the Grizzly G0633 is its robust build quality. Constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, this bandsaw promises durability and stability during operation, minimizing vibrations and ensuring clean, precise cuts. The G0634, an evolution of the G0633, offers enhanced features that cater to both hobbyists and professionals in various industries.

Both models boast powerful motors that ensure smooth and efficient operation. The G0633 is equipped with a 1 HP motor, while the G0634 comes with a more robust 1.5 HP option, allowing for deeper cuts and handling denser materials. This increased power translates to faster material removal rates and improved productivity on the shop floor.

The G0633/G0634 features a dual-speed function, allowing users to adjust the blade speed according to the material being processed. This flexibility is crucial for achieving optimal results on different materials, whether it's hardwood, softwood, or non-ferrous metals. Additionally, the blade guides on both models are precision-engineered, ensuring minimal friction and longer blade life.

Another standout feature is the large cutting capacity these machines offer. The G0633 provides a resounding 12 inches of throat depth, while the G0634 expands this to 14 inches. This increased capacity is a significant advantage for users tackling larger projects or working with oversized stock.

For user convenience, both models are designed with easy adjustments in mind. The quick-release blade tensioning system simplifies blade changes, while the height-adjustable table enhances user ergonomics. The tables are also made of high-quality cast iron, providing a stable surface for workpieces.

Incorporating advanced safety features, the G0633 and G0634 prioritize operator protection. Each model is equipped with a blade brake system that halts blade movement almost instantaneously when the safety switch is triggered. This is a critical function for preventing accidents during operation.

Ultimately, the Grizzly G0633 and G0634 stand out in the market for their excellent balance of power, versatility, and safety. With their outstanding cutting capabilities and engineered precision, these bandsaws are excellent choices for any workshop aimed at producing high-quality workpieces. Whether for a professional environment or a dedicated hobby shop, both the G0633 and G0634 continue to meet and exceed the expectations of craftsmen and creators everywhere.
