performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Safety Instructions for Power Tools
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-
AL STARTING. On machines with mag-
netic contact starting switches there is a
risk of starting if the machine is bumped or
jarred. Always disconnect from power
source before adjusting or servicing. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.
17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN
“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward
the operator if not handled properly. Know
what conditions can create “kickback” and
know how to avoid them. Read the manual
accompanying the machine thoroughly.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running

Additional Safety Instructions for Table Saws
7. USING THE RIP FENCE AND THE
CROSSCUT FENCE TOGETHER DURING A CUTTING OPERATION. When
using the crosscut fence, the workpiece
should never be contacting the rip fence
while the saw blade is cutting.
8. STALLED BLADE. Turn the saw off
before attempting to "free" a stalled saw
blade.
9. COMFORTABLE CUTTING OPERATIONS. Avoid awkward operations and
hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the spinning
saw blade.
10. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using
the machine! Contact our Service
Department at (570) 546-9663.
11. BLADE HEIGHT. Always adjust the blade
to the proper height above the workpiece.
12. DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use
blades that have been dropped or otherwise damaged.
13. RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT. Only operate the saw if the riving knife is aligned with
the main blade.
1. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use the
blade guard and riving knife on all ''through-
sawing'' operations. Through-sawing oper-
ations are those when the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.
2. KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback.
Kickback happens when the workpiece is
thrown towards the operator at a high rate
of speed. Until you have a clear under-
standing of kickback and how it occurs, DO
NOT operate this table saw!
3. WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the
workpiece is placed in a stable position on
the table and is either supported by the rip
fence or the crosscut table during cutting
operations.
4. PUSH STICK. Always use a push stick
when ripping narrow stock.
5. OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or
have any part of your body directly in-line
with the cutting path of the saw blade.
6. REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never
reach behind or over the blade with either
hand while the saw is running. If kickback
occurs while reaching over the blade,
hands or arms could be pulled into the
spinning saw blade.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machines there is danger associated
with the Model G0501. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility
of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.

-6- G0501 Sliding Table Saw
Below are tips to reduce the likelihood of kickback:
• Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece is not fed perfectly parallel with the
blade, a kickback will likely occur. Always
use the rip fence or crosscut fence to support
the workpiece.
• Make sure the riving knife is always aligned
with the blade. A misaligned riving knife can
cause the workpiece to bind or stop the flow
of the cut, resulting in an increased chance
of kickback. If you think that your riving knife
is not aligned with the blade, check it immediately!
• Ensure that your table slides parallel with the
blade; otherwise, the chances of kickback
are extreme. Take the time to check and
adjust the sliding table.
• Use the riving knife during every cut. The riving knife helps maintain the kerf in the workpiece after it is cut, therefore, reducing the
chance of kickback.
• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime
you stop feeding a workpiece that is in the
middle of a cut, the chance of binding, resulting in kickback, is greatly increased.
Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it
may still happen. Here are some tips to
reduce the likelihood of injury if kickback
DOES occur:
• Stand to the side of the blade during every
cut. If a kickback does occur, the thrown
workpiece usually travels directly in front of
the blade.
• Always wear safety glasses or a face shield.
In the event of a kickback, your eyes and
face are the most vulnerable part of your
body.
• Never, for any reason, place your hand
behind the blade. Should kickback occur,
your hand will be pulled into the blade.
• Use a pushstick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If a kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take the
damage that your hand would have received.
Protecting Yourself
from Kickback
Statistics prove that most common accidents among table saw users can be
linked to kickback. Kickback is typically
defined as the high-speed expulsion of
stock from the table saw toward its operator. In addition to the danger of the operator or others in the area being struck by
the flying stock, it is often the case that
the operator’s hands are pulled into the
blade during the kickback.
Preventing Kickback

G0501 Sliding Table Saw -7-
The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate
to this table saw and woodworking in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting
or operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!
Arbor: Metal shaft extending from the drive
mechanism, to which saw blade is mounted.
Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the arbor and saw blade
to an angle between 0° and 45° to cut a
beveled edge onto a workpiece.
Blade Guard: Metal or plastic safety device that
mounts over the saw blade. Its function is to
prevent the operator from coming into contact
with the saw blade.
Crosscut: Cutting operation in which the cross-
cut fence is used to cut across the grain, or
across the shortest width of the workpiece.
Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that are used
to cut grooves and rabbets.
Dado Cut: Cutting operation that uses a dado
blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the
face of the workpiece.
Featherboard: Safety device used to keep the
workpiece against the rip fence and against the
table surface.
Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece
after the saw blade passes through during a
cutting operation.
Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is
propelled back towards the operator at a high
rate of speed.
Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every
point along two given lines or planes. i.e. the
rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw
blade.
Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that
requires the removal of the blade guard and
riving knife. Dado and rabbet cuts are considered Non-Through Cuts because the blade
does not protrude above the top face of the
wood stock. Always remember to re-install the
blade guard and riving knife after performing a
non-through cut.
Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect
and form right angles. i.e. the blade is perpendicular to the table surface.
Push Stick: Safety device used to push the
workpiece through a cutting operation. Used
most often when rip cutting thin workpieces.
Rabbet: Cutting operation that creates an L-
shaped channel along the edge of the workpiece.
Riving knife: Metal plate located behind the the
blade. It maintains the kerf opening in the wood
when performing a cutting operation.
Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,
parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).
Through Cut: A sawing operation in which the
workpiece is completely sawn through.
Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the rip fence
is used to cut with the grain, or across the
widest width of the workpiece.

In the event of an electrical malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This machine must be equipped
with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor. This conductor must be
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if you are in
doubt as to whether the machine is properly
grounded.
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly.
Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded before
you connect them to the
machine. DO NOT use the
Model G0501 if it is not
grounded.
Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we do not recommend the use of extension cords. Instead, position your equipment near
installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

The Model G0501 can be rewired for 440V operation. This rewiring job consists of disconnecting
the saw from the power source, changing the
connections on the voltage transformer, changing
the overload relays for the cutting motor and
scoring motor, and rewiring the cutting motor and
scoring motor.
The necessary overload relays for this procedure
can be purchased in the Model G0501 440V
Conversion Kit by calling our customer service
number at (800) 523-4777.
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and
the rewiring job must be inspected by a licensed
electrician before the saw is connected to the
power source. Also, the motors can be accessed
easier for rewiring if the blade is moved to 0˚ (90˚
to table) before beginning.
To rewire the Model G0501 for 440V operation:
1. Disconnect the saw from the power source!
2. Open the electrical panel and locate the volt-
age transformer shown in Figure 2.

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could cause
an explosion or fire if
used to clean
machinery. DO NOT use

Table Installation
The sliding table for the
Model G0501 weighs
over 350 lbs. Use at least
four strong people to lift
it in position. Improper
lifting techniques or
inadequate lifting assistance could result in
serious crushing or
strain injuries.
Installing the sliding table is a difficult procedure
because the sliding table is very heavy and
because the attachment blocks inside the table
need to be aligned with the attachment holes on
the bottom of the table.

Sliding Table
Parallel Adjustment
Now is the point in the assembly process to make
the sliding table parallel with the main saw blade
and tighten the three large cap screws that were
used to secure the sliding table to the saw base.
Besides the tools included with the saw, this procedure requires you to have a precision ruler, a
felt tip pen, and the assistance of another person.
To adjust the sliding table parallel with the
main blade:
1. Set the blade to 0˚ on the control panel (90˚
with the cast iron table).
2. Raise the main blade up as far as it will go.
3. Disconnect the saw from the power source!
4. Mark the center of the blade with a felt tip
pen. This will allow you to take your measurements from the exact same place on the
blade.
5. Move the sliding table all the way to one end,
and using a precision ruler, measure the gap
between the edge of the table and your mark
on the blade as shown in Figure 54.
Figure 54. Measuring gap between sliding table
edge and center of blade with a precision ruler.
6. Move the other end of the sliding table in
front of the blade and measure the gap.
— If the gap is the same on both sides, then
the sliding table is already parallel with
the main blade. Skip to step 10.
— If the gap on one side is different than the
other, then continue with step 7.
7. Move the end of the sliding table that needs
to be adjusted in front of the blade.
8. Using the ruler, watch the gap measurement
and have your assistant slowly make the
adjustments at the parallel adjustment bolts
(Figure 55) until the gap size is equal to the
other side.

G0501 Sliding Table Saw -35-

remember, no safety list can be comprehensive
of every situation. The operator is ultimately
responsible for their own safety, as well as the
safety of bystanders. Every cutting operation is
uniquely different and may require safety equipment or safety procedures not mentioned in this
manual.
Please follow these tips EVERY time you use
your saw:
• Stand to the left of the blade line-of-cut when
performing a cutting operation.
• Turn off the saw and allow the blade to come
to a complete stop before removing the cutoff piece.
• Make sure that the riving knife is always
aligned with the main blade before cutting!
• Always position the blade guard to the correct height above the workpiece.
• Carefully plan each cutting operation to avoid
injuries.
• When you release the sliding table lock,
make sure that the knob is positioned so that
it will not lock the table during a cut.

-40- G0501 Sliding Table Saw
The Model G0501 has the capability of rip cutting
full size panels (Figure 65). 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 66). Smaller, lighter boards
are easier to slide across the stationary cast iron
table surface to the right of the saw blade.
Rip Cutting
Figure 65. Rip cutting setup with the sliding
table.
Figure 66. Rip cutting using the traditional
table saw technique.
Determine which cutting operation will be best
suited for the workpiece to be ripped.
— To use the sliding table, read the instruc-
tions titled “Rip cutting with the sliding
table.”
— To use the machine as a traditional table
saw, skip ahead to “Rip cutting using the
traditional table saw technique.”
Rip cutting with the sliding table:
1. Mount the crosscut table to the sliding table.
2. Slide and secure the crosscut table to the
end of the sliding table opposite the sliding
table handle.
3. Install the crosscut fence in the guide pin
holes shown in Figure 67 and lock it in place
with the cam locks. Note—First, drop the
crosscut fence into the outside edge guide
pin hole, then drop the other end of the
crosscut fence into the guide pine hole closest to the sliding table.
Figure 67. Guide pin holes used when mounting
the crosscut fence for rip cutting operations.
4. Set either flip stop to the desired width-of-cut.

have been taken, perform the cutting operation.
Rip cutting using the traditional table saw
technique:
1. Slide the crosscut table out of the way.
2. Lock the sliding table into a stationary posi-
tion.
3. Position the rip fence to the desired width-ofcut.
4. Slide the leading end of the rip fence so it is
even with the center of the main saw blade
as shown in Figure 68. Note—This tech-
nique allows the finished cut-off piece to “fall”
away from the blade when the cutting operation is complete; therefore, reducing the possibility of kickback and preventing the trailing
corner of the workpiece from being nicked by
the back edge of the blade.

The Model G0501 will perform best when high
quality, sharp blades are used. Therefore, whenever the main blade starts to get dull, we recommend that you have it resharpened or replace it
with a new blade.
Also, the Model G0501 is designed to accommodate either a 12" or a 14" main blade. But any
time you change blade sizes, the appropriate
sized riving knife must also be changed to match
the size of blade you install.
To change main blade:
1. Move the blade tilt to 0˚ on the control panel
(blade 90˚ to table).
2. Disconnect the saw from the power
source!
3. Move the sliding table all the way to the left
and push the release knob to expose the
internal blade guard that covers the blades
and riving knife, as shown in Figure 80.

To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the blade and to the hydraulic pump, the
V-belts must be in good condition (free from
cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under
proper tension. Check the V-belts at least every 3
months; more often if the saw is used daily.
See
Section 8: Service Adjustments for instruc-
tions on replacing the belts, if needed.
Always be aware of the condition of your
machine. Routinely check the condition of the following items and repair or replace as necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged blade.
• Worn or damaged blade guard.
Always disconnect
power to the machine
before performing maintenance. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
The bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated and
require no lubrication during their usable life.
However, your saw components will operate at
their best if the bearing surfaces are kept clean—
this is especially important for the trunnion bearings.
Bearings
Cleaning the Model G0501 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it. Treat all cast iron and unpainted
steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
Once a week:
• Clean sliding table surface and grooves.
• Clean the cast iron saw table.
• Clean the roller guideways for the sliding
table.
• Clean the aluminum rip fence and sliding
grooves.
• Clean the rip fence bracket.
Once a month:
• Vacuum inside the motor cabinet.

Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures
that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be
square. This procedure can be done by using a
piece of scrap plywood as a test piece and making five test cuts, then adjusting the fence as necessary.
To square the crosscut fence with the blade:
1. Make sure the blade is parallel with the slid-
ing table.
2. Prepare the scrap test piece by cutting it to
32" x 32".
3. Number all four sides of the test piece.
4. Using the crosscut fence, cut
1
⁄2" off of each
side of the test piece.
5. Measure the test piece diagonally from corner-to-corner, at all four corners, as shown in
Figure 94.
— If both measurements are not within
1
⁄16",
then the crosscut fence needs to be
adjusted. Proceed to step 6.
— If both measurements are within
1
⁄16" then
you are finished with this procedure.
