Dust Collection; Setting Outfeed Table Height - Grizzly G0656XW Owner's Manual

Dust Collection

This machine creates substantial amounts
of dust during operation. Breathing air-
borne dust on a regular basis can result in
permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your
risk by wearing a respirator and capturing
the dust with a dust collection system.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect dust collection hose:
1.
Fit 4" dust hose over dust port, as shown in
Figure 29, and secure with a hose clamp.

2. Tug hose to make sure it does not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper per-
formance.

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
To help ensure safe operation and best cutting
results, the outfeed table height MUST be level
with the knives when they are at top-dead-center
(TDC). If the outfeed table is set too low, the
workpiece will be tapered from front to back or
there will be snipe (a gouge in end of board that
is uneven with rest of cut). If the outfeed table is
set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of
the outfeed table during operation, increasing the
chance of kickback.
To set outfeed table height:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Move cutterhead guard out of the way.
3. Loosen outfeed table lock (see Figure 30).

4. Place straightedge
so it extends over cutterhead, lower
outfeed table until straightedge is 0.062"
( ⁄ ") above cutterhead body, as deter-
