Grizzly G0493 - Manual (Page 47)

Model g0493 (Mfg. since 7/10)
-45-
the Model g0493 has the capability of rip cut-
ting full size panels (
figure 82). the sliding table
removes the burden of sliding a large and heavy
panel over a stationary table surface.
this saw also has the capability of rip cutting
smaller boards, using the machine as a traditional
table saw (
figure 83). smaller, lighter boards
are easier to slide across the stationary cast iron
table surface to the right of the saw blade.

rip cutting with sliding table
1. drop the crosscut fence into the center stud
hole and rotate it until the block shown in
figure 84 touches the 90° stop bolt.
2. Check to make sure the fence is at 90˚ and
adjust it as described in squaring crosscut
fence to blade on page 71 if necessary.
3. slide the protection block next to the blade
teeth to calibrate the scale, then tighten the
lock knob.
note: The scale will not be accurate if the
protection block is cut.
4. set a flip stop to the desired width-of-cut.
5. position the blade guard to the correct height
for your workpiece.
6. load the workpiece onto the table saw. the
set up should look similar to figure 82.
7. take all the necessary safety precautions,
then perform the cutting operation.
