Settings & Adjustments - Grizzly G0937 Owner's Manual

AFTER USE
Remove all swarf from the machine and thoroughly clean all surfaces. If coolant has been used, ensure
it has completely drained from the tray. Components should be dry, and all machined surfaces should be
lightly oiled.
Always remove cutting tools and store machine in a safe place when not in use.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes may be changed by unscrewing the caps at the end of the motor.
SETTINGS & ADJUSTMENTS
Occasionally, it may be necessary to readjust various components in order to maintain optimum
performance. The adjustments that may be performed are as follows:
A. CROSS-SLIDE ADJUSTMENTS
The cross-slide is mounted on a dovetail slide, as shown below. Between the sloping surfaces on one
side of the dovetail, there is a gib, which may be tightened against the dovetail using three gib screws
mounted along its length.
The gib screws can be found on the right-hand side of the slide, directly beneath the compound slide
handle. In time, wear will occur on the mating surfaces resulting in a "sloppiness" of action.
To adjust the gib and to ensure the slide moves evenly and smoothly, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen all lock nuts and gib screws
evenly, with the same torque for each screw. The
slide should be held firmly. Test by trying to turn the
handle, but do not force it.
2. Loosen each gib screw by one quarter of a turn
and tighten the lock nuts.
3. Test again, by turning the handle. The movement
should be even and smooth along its complete
length.
4. If the movement is too slack, tighten all gib screws by 1/8 of a turn, and re-test. Similarly, if the
movement is too stiff, loosen the screws by 1/8 of a turn until the correct adjustment is attained.
5. Tighten all lock nuts, taking care to ensure you do not move the gib screws whilst doing so.
6. When completed, retract the slide fully and apply oil to all mating surfaces and the feed screw threads,
then wind the slide back to its normal position.
