Adjusting Cutterhead Guard; Adjusting Fence - Grizzly G0900 Owner's Manual

Adjusting
Cutterhead Guard
The cutterhead guard (see Figure 29) protects
the user from exposure to the cutter and chips
thrown by it. To minimize the risk of injury, the
guard must be adjusted so it encloses as much
of the spindle area as possible, while still allowing
the workpiece to pass through the cut. Typically,
this means the guard is positioned to just clear the
top of the workpiece.
To position cutterhead guard:
1. Loosen knob bolts and position guard as
needed. Tighten knob bolts to secure settings
(see Figure 29).

fence is independently adjustable to compensate
for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-
ing applications. One full turn of the knurled micro-
