SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Dust collector is completely powered down at the end of use.

•Dust collection drums and bags.

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Pressure leaks.

•Worn or damaged wires.

•Any other condition that would hamper the safe and efficient operation of this machine.

Emptying Drums

Empty the collection drums when they are 3⁄4 full or less. If the drums become overfilled, the dust will be sucked into the intake barrel and passed through to the canister filters.

How quickly the drum will fill up is based on the type of work being done at the time:

•Fine dust from a sander or table saw will slowly fill the drums.

•Curly shavings from a planer or jointer will quickly fill the drums.

In the beginning, check your drums regularly to get an idea of how often they need to be emp- tied.

Cleaning Filters

The Model G0637/G0638 dust collector has a gentle brush system inside the canisters for removing any built-up dust from the filter pleats.

To avoid damage to your eyes and lungs, always wear safety glasses and a respirator when working with the dust collection bags.

filters.

To clean the filters, pull the red handles down all the way, then pull the black handles down and hook them in place.

Note: Always make sure to leave the red handles in the up position to ensure that the brushes return to their proper position and do not restrict the filter.

For a more thorough cleaning, remove the filters from the dust collector and rinse them with clear water. Allow the filters to air dry. Do not leave the filters in the sun to dry or apply heat to speed the process; heat exposure can damage your filters.

G0638, G0637 specifications

The Grizzly G0637 and G0638 are two robust woodworking machines designed to cater to both amateur woodworkers and seasoned professionals. These models stand out for their precision, durability, and versatility, making them ideal for various woodworking applications.

One of the main features of the Grizzly G0637 is its powerful 3 HP motor, which provides ample power for cutting through different types of wood with ease. This capability makes it suitable for heavy-duty tasks, including jointing and planing thick lumber. On the other hand, the G0638 model boasts a twin-knife cutterhead for enhanced efficiency, providing smooth finishes and improved stock removal rates. This feature is particularly useful for woodworkers who require high-quality outputs in less time.

When it comes to technology, both models incorporate advanced engineering principles to ensure operational stability. The Grizzly G0637 features a precision-ground cast-iron table designed for flatness, contributing to accurate results. This table is also fitted with an integrated dust collection system, which helps maintain a clean workspace by minimizing sawdust accumulation during operations. The G0638 model enhances this design with a spiral cutterhead, featuring multiple carbide inserts that provide a cleaner cut and longer life than traditional blades.

Another notable characteristic of both models is their user-friendly design. The height adjustment knobs are conveniently placed for easy access, allowing users to quickly adjust the cutting height without disrupting workflow. Additionally, both machines are equipped with oversized handwheels that enable fine adjustments, ensuring that every cut meets precise specifications.

Safety is another important aspect of the Grizzly G0637 and G0638 models. Each machine includes features such as anti-kickback pawls and blade guards, which promote safe operation while handling various stock types. The solid construction of these machines also minimizes vibrations, further enhancing stability and safety during use.

In conclusion, the Grizzly G0637 and G0638 represent the pinnacle of woodworking machinery, combining power, precision, and user-friendly features. Their innovative technologies and solid construction make them a valuable addition to any workshop, allowing woodworkers to achieve exceptional results in their projects. Whether you're jointing edges or planing surfaces, these machines are designed to enhance performance and elevate craftsmanship.
