Grizzly G0641 owner manual Test Run, To test run the machine

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly. The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The saw motors power up and run correctly, and 2) the front guard safety feature works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise, vibration, or action, stop using the machine immediately, then review the Troubleshooting on Page 31.

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

To test run the machine:

1.Make sure you have read and understand the safety instructions at the beginning of the manual and that the machine is setup prop- erly.

2.Check for proper lubrication (refer to Lubrication on Page 27).

3.Make sure the saw blades are firmly secured by the arbor bolts and flanges (refer to Replacing Blades on Page 22 for detailed instructions).

4.Make sure all tools and objects used during set up are cleared away from the machine.

5.Connect the machine to the power and air, correctly adjust the air pressure on both regu- lators, then turn the machine ON.

6.Listen to and watch for abnormal noises or actions. The machine should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

—Strange or unusual noises should be inves- tigated and corrected before operating the machine further. Always disconnect the machine from power when investigating or correcting potential problems.

7.Turn the power OFF.

10.Standing away from the front of the saw, turn the machine ON.

—If the machine DOES NOT start, the front guard safety feature is working correctly. Lower the front guard and secure it with the two thumb screws before proceeding.

—If the machine DOES start (with the front guard raised up), immediately disconnect power to the machine. The front guard safety switch (Figure 15) is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with the rest of the test run. Call Tech Support for help.
