WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil
ter out microscopic particles.
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of
importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember
that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten
sion cords if they become damaged.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair cov
ering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than using
your hand and frees both hands to operate
tool.
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
cating and changing accessories.
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. On machines with magnetic

-
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. 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

Additional Safety Instructions
For Router Tables
1. HAND POSITIONING. Never pass your
hands directly over or in front of the cutter.
As one hand approaches cutter, move it in
an arc motion away from the cutter to the
outfeed side and reposition that hand beyond
the cutter.
2. STOCK LENGTH. Do not rout stock shorter
than 12 inches without special fixtures or jigs.
Where practical, rout longer stock and cut to
size.
3. BLIND CUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. This
keeps the cutters on the underside of the
workpiece and provides a distance guard for
the operator.
4. TEST ROTATION. Always rotate the spindle
by hand, with the machine unplugged, to test
any new setup to ensure proper cutter clear
ance before starting the machine.
5. KEEP ANY UNUSED PORTION OF THE
CUTTER BELOW THE TABLE SURFACE.
6. DEPTH OF CUT. Never remove too much
material in one pass. Several light passes are
safer and give a cleaner finish.
7. IF AT ANYTIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC
ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING
THE ROUTER TABLE! Then contact our
service department or ask a qualified expert
how the operation should be performed.
8. SAFETY DEVICES. The use of push sticks
as safety devices in some applications is
smart; in others it can be quite dangerous.
If the push stick comes in contact with the
cutter on the end grain, it can fly out of your
hand like a bullet, potentially causing serious injury.
We recommend using some type of fixture,
jig, or hold-down device as a safer alterna
tive. Use a guard or other type of protective
device at all times.
9. ALWAYS FEED AGAINST THE ROTATION OF THE CUTTER.
10. DO NOT REMOVE THE RETRACTABLE
GUARD ON THE FENCE.

11. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS
MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION
in people and animals, especially when
exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know
what type of wood dust you will be exposed
to, the possibility of a allergic reaction and
always wear an approved respirator.
12. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL SUPPLIED
WITH THE ROUTER TO BE INSTALLED

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
General
If the machine is wired incorrectly a fire
could result. Make sure your wiring, recep
tacle, plug, and circuit breaker can handle
the current draw of the machine. If you are
not sure that your electrical circuit can han
dle the current draw, get a qualified electri
cian to test your electrical system and do
any required upgrades. Do not attempt to
modify an existing circuit by only replac
ing the circuit breaker with one rated for
a higher amperage draw than the wiring,
receptacle, and plug are rated for.
The Model G0528 power switch (page 16, Figure
13) is designed to accept 2-prong DOUBLE
INSULATED plugs or 3-prong grounding type
plugs. The power switch provides the conve
nience of switching power to the router at the
front of the router table instead of having to reach
under the table and locate the switch. The power
switch also allows multiple devices such as lights
or vacuums to be powered when the router is
turned ON.

Site ConsiderationsClean Up
Metal components are often coated with a wax
or oil to prevent rusting during shipment. Clean
all coated parts with a solvent cleaner or cit
rus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895
Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may
need to be removed. For optimum performance
from your machine, make sure you clean all
moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that
are coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as
they may damage painted surfaces should they
come in contact.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could explode
if used to clean machin
ery. DO NOT use gasoline
or petroleum products to
clean the machinery.
Smoking near solvents
could ignite an explosion
or fire and cause serious
injury. DO NOT smoke
while using solvents.
Lack of ventilation while
using solvents could
cause serious person
al health risks, fire, or
environmental hazards.
Always work in a well
ventilated area to pre
vent the accumulation
of dangerous fumes.
Supply the work area
with a constant source
of fresh air.
-
-
-
Weight Load
The Model G0528 weighs 125 lbs. Most shop
-
floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of
the machine. Reinforce the floor if you question
its ability to support the weight.
Working Clearance
Working clearances can be thought of as the
distances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine with
out limitation. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, size of material to be processed
through each machine, and space for auxiliary
stands or work tables. Also, consider the relative
position of each machine to one another for efficient material handling.
Lighting And Outlets
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to handle
the amperage draw. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension cords
are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local elec
trical codes for proper installation of new lighting,
outlets, or circuits.
Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could receive serious per
sonal injury. Ensure child
and visitor safety by keep
ing all entrances to the
shop locked at all times.
DO NOT allow unsuper
vised children or visitors
in the shop at any time.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Before Routing
Your safety is important! Please follow the
warnings below during this entire section:
To avoid serious personal injury, read and
become familiar with the entire instruction
manual before using the Model G0528.
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears
could result from failure to wear safety
glasses, a respirator, and hearing protec
tion while using this machine.
-
Routing
Routing operations on your Model G0528 are
grouped into three main techniques:
• Jointing an edge (page 18)
• Groove cutting (page 19)
• Profile cutting (page 19)
Jointing an edge:
Jointing the edge of a board involves using a
straight cutting router bit to remove wood from the
edge face of a board. The result is a perfectly flat
and square edge.
1. Secure a straight cutting router bit into your
router according to the router manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Snap the smallest table insert into the
recessed hole that still allows the router bit
to freely rotate
.
Loose hair and clothing could get caught in
machinery and cause
serious personal inju
ry. Keep loose clothing
rolled up and long hair
tied up and away from
machinery.
3. Adjust the outfeed fence even with the left edge of the router bit (Figure 16
-
Figure 16. Jointing setup.
(Top View)
).
-18-
G0528 Sliding Router Table
4. Raise the bit to a height slightly higher than
that of the board thickness.
5. Adjust the infeed fence to the right of the
outfeed fence, so that the distance is equal
to the desired depth of cut (Figure 17
Depth Of Cut
).

Groove cutting:
Beading is commonly defined as cutting a groove
or bead in the face of a board.
1. Mount a router bit into your router according
to the router manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Snap the smallest table insert into the
recessed hole that still allows the router bit
to freely rotate
.
3. Raise the router bit to the desired height.
4. Adjust the main fence until the center of the
V-groove bit is the desired distance away as
shown in Figure 18 & 19
.
Figure 19. Groove cutting setup.
(Side View)
Profile cutting:
Profile cutting is usually performed using a bit
with a ball bearing. The ball bearing is used to
control the depth of cut into the edge face of a
board. A good example would be a chamfer cut.
The bearing rides along the uncut edge of the
board while the cutter removes the wood.
1. Mount a router bit into your router according
to the router manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Snap the smallest table insert into the
recessed hole that still allows the router bit
to freely rotate
.
G0528 Sliding Router Table-19-
3. Raise the router bit to the desired height.
4. Adjust the fence back and away from the bit
only enough to allow the ball bearing to con
trol the depth of cut as shown in Figures 20
.
& 21
5. Adjust the fence as close as possible to the
bearing. The fence will serve as a back-up
support, reducing the chance of an accident.
