Grizzly G5959, G9957 instruction manual Miter Gauge Rip Fence, Square

Miter Gauge Rip Fence

To adjust the miter gauge so it is perpendicular to the saw blade:

1.Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and place a square against the face of the miter body and the blade.

2.Adjust the miter body until there is no space between the square and the blade. Tighten the lock knob.

3.With the stop link in the up position, loosen the jam nut (Figure 26) and adjust the stop screw until it is seated against the stop link.

4.Now loosen the setscrew on the left front side of the miter bar, adjust the pointer to 90¡ and tighten the setscrew.

5.To adjust to 45¡, follow Steps 1-4using an adjustable square set to 45¡.

6.After rotating the miter body from 45¡ to 90¡ and back a few times, double-check your adjustments at both angles to assure that you have accurately set your miter gauge.

The rip fence included with your Model G5959/9957 12" Table Saw is designed to pro- vide excellent ripping accuracy when properly adjusted. There are three main adjustments to concern yourself with: square, parallelism and clamping pressure.

SQUARE

Place a machinistÕs square against the side of the fence. If the square does not remain flush against both the fence and the table, adjust the nylon screws (Figure 27) on top of the bracket at the front of the fence until square.

CLAMPING PRESSURE

The fence-clamping mechanism has been adjust- ed at the factory to provide the right amount of clamping pressure to hold your fence securely. Should it eventually need adjustment:

1.Loosen the clamping arm.

2.Remove the fence from the saw and adjust the setscrews equally on the rear side of the front bracket as shown in Figure 28.

3.Replace the fence and check the clamping strength. Re-adjust until proper pressure is ensured.
