SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the
machine controls/components
discussed later
in this manual
are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual,
seek additional
training from experienced
machine operators
, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,
trade magazines, or websites.
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire manual BEFORE
using machine.
To reduce risk of eye injury from flying
chips or lung damage from breathing dust,
always wear safety glasses and a respirator
when operating this machine.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
2. Adjusts the fence away from the blade the
same width of the desired cut or out of the
way for curve cutting and then locks it in
place.
3. Adjusts the table tilt, if necessary, to the cor-
rect angle of the desired cut.
4. Adjusts the blade guide height to not more
than 1" from the top of the workpiece.
5. Checks to make sure the workpiece can safe-
ly pass all the way through the blade without
interference from other objects.
6. Puts on safety glasses.
7. Starts the dust collector and bandsaw.
8. Holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against
both the table and fence, and then pushes
the workpiece into the blade at a steady and
controlled rate until the workpiece moves
completely beyond the blade.
The operator is very careful to keep fingers
away from the blade and uses a push stick to
feed narrow workpieces.
9. Stops the bandsaw.
