Grizzly G5959Z instruction manual Clamping Pressure

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.

PARALLELISM

Align the fence alongside the miter slot as shown in Figure 29, and lock it down. If the fence is not perfectly parallel to the miter slot:

1.Release the clamping mechanism.

2.Remove the fence from the saw and adjust the setscrews on the rear side of the front bracket as shown in Figure 28. Make very minor adjustments and recheck by reclamp- ing the fence along the miter slot after each adjustment. Keep in mind that a small turn of the setscrew can make a large difference over the length of the fence. Be sure clamp- ing pressure is still adequate.
