Setting Outfeed Table Height - Grizzly G0490ZX Owner's Manual

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
To help ensure safe operation and the best cutting
results, set the outfeed table height level with the
inserts 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 the end of the board that is uneven
with the rest of the 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.
