Additional Safety for Sliding Table Saws

BLADE GUARD/RIVING KNIFE. To reduce the

risk of kickback, always make sure the riving knife and the blade guard are properly installed during all cutting operations.

KICKBACK. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator at a high rate of speed. Until you have a clear understanding of kickback, how it occurs, and how to prevent it, DO NOT operate this saw!

WORKPIECE CONTROL. If the workpiece should unexpectedly move or bind the blade, kickback could occur. Always make sure the workpiece is placed in a stable position on the table and is supported by either the rip fence or the crosscut fence during cutting operations.

Never back a workpiece out of a cut!

PUSH STICKS/BLOCKS. When ripping narrow stock, there is a risk of your hands contacting the spinning blade resulting in serious injury. Always use push sticks/blocks when cutting narrow stock to keep hands clear of the blade.

OPERATOR POSITION. If kickback occurs, the blade will eject the workpiece into the cutting path. Never stand in-line with the cutting path of the blade during operation.

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Avoid awkward body and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hands to hit the spinning blade.

RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT. If the riving knife is not aligned with the saw blade, the workpiece could bind and cause kickback. Always make sure the riving knife is in proper alignment with the saw blade.

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 will be pulled into the blade and may be amputated!

REMOVING WORKPIECES. To avoid accidental contact with the spinning blade, always turn the saw OFF and wait until the blade is completely stopped before removing cut-offs. Use a push stick to keep hands away from the blade.

BLADE HEIGHT. Make sure the blade is adjusted to the correct height above the workpiece to prevent the blade from aggressively grabbing the workpiece and kicking it back toward the operator.

DAMAGED SAW BLADES. A saw blade that is damaged or bent can cause kickback during operations. If you have any doubt about the condition of the saw blade, DO NOT use it!

SAFE WORKPIECES. Cutting workpieces that are bent, warped, or curved, or cutting material not intended for this saw, increases the risk of kickback.

Like all machines there is danger associated with this machine. 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.

-10 -

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.

Model G0623X/G0623X3 (Mfg. Since 5/12)

Preventing Kickback

Protecting Yourself

Below are ways to avoid the most common causes of kickback:

• Only cut workpieces with at least one smooth and straight edge. DO NOT cut excessively warped, cupped or twisted wood. If the workpiece warpage is questionable, always choose another workpiece.

• Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece is not fed 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 aligned with the blade. A misaligned riving knife can cause the workpiece to catch or bind, increasing the 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 greatly increased. Take the time to check and adjust the sliding table to be parallel with the

blade.

• Do not remove the riving knife. The riving knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece, reducing the chance of kickback.

From Kickback

Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it may still happen. Here are some tips to protect yourself 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.

• 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, which could cause amputation.

• Use a push stick 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.

• Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices to assist with feeding and prevent or slow down kickback.

• Keep the blade guard installed and working correctly for all through cuts.

• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime you stop feeding a workpiece in the middle of a cut, the chance of kickback is increased.

• Never move the workpiece backwards while cutting or try to back it out of a cut while the blade is moving. If you cannot complete a cut for some reason, stop the saw motor and allow the blade to completely stop moving before backing the workpiece out. Promptly fix the condition that prevented you from completing the cut, before starting the saw again.

Model G0623X/G0623X3 (Mfg. Since 5/12)

Statistics show that most common accidents among table saw users can be linked to kickback. Kickback is typically defined as the high-speed ejection 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.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrican or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or equipment damage may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. A permanently connected machine must be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to a system having an equipmentgrounding conductor. All grounds must be verified and rated for the electrical requirements of the machine. Improper grounding can increase the risk of electric shock!

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and meet the following requirements:

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Physical Environment

Place this machine near an existing power source.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Children or untrained people may be seriously injured by this machine. Only install in an access restricted location.

The physical environment where the machine is operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine components. For best results, operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are generally those where the ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.

Electrical Installation

Make sure all power cords are protected from traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to a means of disconnecting the power source or engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate enough that operations can be performed safely.

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Moving & Placing

Table Saw Cabinet

We strongly recommend using a forklift to move this saw. This will greatly reduce the risk of a lifting injury. If a forklift is not available, a minimum of four strong people are required to move the saw off the pallet. The saw can be "walked" off the pallet, then moved into place with a dolly or by sliding it.

This machine and its components are heavy. Serious injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.

Get help when lifting or moving the machine and its components. Use a forklift to reduce the risk of a lifting strain or crushing injury.

DO NOT lift the table saw any higher than necessary to clear the floor. Serious personal injury and damage to the machine may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.

2. Lift the table saw cabinet and move it to your

predetermined location.

3. Remove the red lifting bolts from the back of the table.

4. Place a level on the cast iron table to level the table saw cabinet side to side and front to back. This will allow the table to slide smoothly.

Note: There are three options for leveling the

saw: 1) Place it on a mobile base (Grizzly Model G7315Z) and use the mobile base controls to level it, 2) shim under the cabinet, and 3) thread bolts down into the nuts welded on the stand corners (Figure 16).

To lift and move the machine:

1. Feed the lifting straps around the lifting bolts

on the back of the table and the sliding table saw mounts on the front of the cabinet (see Figure 15). Attach the ends of the lifting straps to the forklift forks.

Figure 15. Lifting the table saw cabinet.

Figure 16. Hex bolt in stand corners for leveling;

Assembly & Setup

Before shipping, the sliding table was installed on the machine and calibrated to the main table and blade. When the sliding table was removed for shipping, the lock nuts on the sliding table mounting brackets were carefully left in position to make re-installation easier. As such, be careful not to move any pre-installed nuts when installing the sliding table.

The sliding table and extension tables are heavy so you must get help lifting and holding them during the installation process. We recommend using a forklift or four strong helpers to lift the sliding table during installation.

To assemble the sliding table saw:

4. Put a 12mm flat washer, lock washer and

hex nut onto the bottom of each T-stud and tighten the hex nut to secure the sliding table in place.

5. Install the small extension table with the two M10-1.5 x 25 cap screws, flat washers and lock washers (see Figure 18).

Power Connection

To connect the Model G0623X /G0623X3 to power:

Before the machine can be connected to the power source, an electrical circuit must be made available that meets the minimum specifications given in Circuit Requirements on Page 14. If a power circuit has not been prepared for the machine, do that now. To ensure a safe and codecompliant setup, we strongly recommend that all electrical work be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel.

G0623X/G0623X3 230V/220V Power Connection

Insert the plug into a matching NEMA receptacle, (see Figure 2 for G0623X and Figure 3 for G0623X3 on Page 14).

G0623X3 440V Power Connection

Hardwire setups require power supply lines to be enclosed inside conduit, which is securely mounted and constructed in adherence to applicable electrical codes.

A hardwire setup for this machine must be equipped with a locking disconnect switch as a means to disconnect the power during adjustments or maintenance, which is a typical requirement for lock-out/tag-out safety programs (commonly required by OSHA).

Figure 4 on Page 15 shows a simple diagram of a hardwire setup with a locking disconnect switch between the power source and the machine. Due to the complexity required for planning, bending, and installing the conduit necessary for a hardwire setup, this type of setup should only be performed by an experienced electrician.

1. Open the power connection box shown in Figure 49.

To test run the saw:

6. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

1. Put on safety glasses, make sure any bystand-

ers are out of the way, and that all tools have been removed from the saw.

2. Push in, then rotate both STOP buttons clockwise until they pop out. This resets the switch so the machine can be started.

3. Press the ON button. The blades should startup and run smoothly without any problems. If any problems occur, immediately

press the STOP button.

4. Press the STOP button. As the main blade comes to a stop, watch the direction that it spins.

— The main blade should spin clockwise if you

are standing at the front of the machine. If this is true, continue to Step 5.

—If the main blade rotates counterclock-

wise, disconnect the saw from power and exchange wires R & T in the power connection box to change the motor direction (Model G0623X3 only). After exchanging the wires and closing the power connection box, connect the saw to power, and repeat

Steps 3–4.

7. Move the sliding table all the way forward,

then open the orange blade guard (refer to Page 41 for details on accessing and opening the blade guard). Opening the blade guard triggers the limit switch.

8. Connect the saw to the power source and rotate the STOP button clockwise so it pops out.

9. (During this step, be prepared to immediately press the STOP button if the blades start operating.) Press the ON button.

—If the blade guard limit switch functions cor-

rectly, the machine will not start. If this is true, continue to Step 10.

—If the machine starts during this test, the

limit switch is NOT functioning correctly. Disconnect the saw from power, and call Tech Support for advice before proceeding any further with the test run or machine operations.

10. Close the orange blade guard and move the sliding table back to the center of the machine.

5. Make sure the STOP button is pushed in, then press the ON button.

—The saw should NOT start if the disabling

feature on the STOP button is working correctly. If this is true, continue to Step 6.

—If the saw DOES start when the STOP but-

ton is pushed in, then the safety feature on the STOP button is not working correctly. Call Tech Support for advice before proceeding any further with the test run or machine operations.

Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes and rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury from kickback because the blade guard must be removed. However, the riving knife MUST be installed because it still provides some protection. When making non-through cuts with a dado blade, do not attempt to cut the full depth in one pass. Instead, take multiple light passes to reduce the load on the blade. A dado blade smaller than 10" will require removal of the riving knife, because the riving knife will be higher than the blade.

A non-through cut is a sawing operation where the blade does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock, as shown in the

A through cut is a sawing operation in which the workpiece is completely sawn through, as shown in the

. Examples of through cuts are rip cuts, cross cuts, miter cuts, and beveled cuts. The blade guard assembly MUST be used when performing through cuts.

Riving Knife

The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly that consists of the guard and riving knife assembly (see Figure below). Each of these components have important safety functions.

Guard

Figure 55. Blade guard assembly components.

Understanding the Blade Guard

To ensure that the riving knife works safe-

adjusted to the blade.

When to Use the Blade Guard

The blade guard MUST be installed on the saw for all normal through cuts (defined on owner's manual Page 14).

Sometimes the blade guard or its components can get in the way when cutting very narrow workpieces or other specialized cuts. Because the blade guard is provided to decrease your risk of injury, it should not be used if it gets in the way of making a safe cut. Use good judgment!

In general, the blade guard MUST remain installed on the saw—unless a specific operation requires its removal. If the blade guard is removed for specific operations, always immediately replace it after those operations are complete.

guard is designed to lift as the workpiece is

during the cut

does its job effectively,

Understanding the Riving Knife

The riving knife is a metal plate that prevents the freshly cut pieces of the workpiece from pinching the backside of the blade and causing a kickback. It also acts as a barrier behind the blade to shield hands from being pulled into the blade if a kickback occurs and the operator is reaching behind the blade. (Reaching behind the blade is a major safety risk and should not be done).

When to Use the Riving Knife Only

Use the riving knife without the blade guard for any non-through cuts (defined on owner's manual Page 14) or narrow/specialized cuts in which the blade guard gets in the way of a safe cut.

Always immediately replace the blade guard when these cuts are complete!

When Not to Use Riving Knife

If you use a dado blade that has a diameter smaller than 10", the riving knife will be taller than the top of the blade, which will prevent the cut from being completed. In this case, the only way to complete the cut is to remove the riving knife.

Pay particular attention to instructions

The blade guard fits over the riving knife and is secured in place with an M10-1.5 x 25 cap screw and an M10-1.5 lock nut (see "Mounting Screw" in Figure 56). These are the only fasteners that need to be installed/removed when installing or removing the blade guard.

Screw

Testing Guard for Correct Operation

After installing the blade guard, you must verify that it functions correctly before making a cut. To test the blade guard operation, lift up the front end about 4" then release it.

• If the blade guard freely drops down against the table surface, then it is functioning correctly and is ready for operation.

• If the blade guard remains in the position where you released it, or it does not drop down against the surface of the table, then the mounting screw and lock nut are too tight. Loosen it slightly and repeat this test until the guard functions correctly.

• If the blade guard feels loose and easily moves back and forth as you raise it, then the mounting screw and lock nut are too loose. Tighten it slightly and repeat this test until the guard functions correctly.

Figure 56. Blade guard mounted to riving knife.

When installing the blade guard, the mounting screw and lock nut must be left loose enough that the guard can freely pivot up and down, but not so loose that there is side-to-side play when pivoting.

Figure 58. Height difference between riving knife

and blade.

The height difference between the riving knife and the blade allows the workpiece to pass over the blade during non-through cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).

The riving knife also prevents the freshly cut sides of the workpiece from pinching the blade and causing kickback. For maximum effectiveness of this safety design, the riving knife must be positioned within 3–8mm from the blade, as shown in Figure 59.

Safety Tips

Blade Requirements

Your safety is important. The tips below are intended to supplement SECTION 1: SAFETY. But remember, no safety list can cover 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 safety 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 cut-off pieces.

• 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.

The riving knife included with this machine is

0.090" (2.3mm) thick and is only designed for 10" diameter blades.

When choosing a main blade, make sure the blade size meets the requirements listed below. The thickness of the blade body and teeth can be measured with calipers or any precision measuring device.

Blade Size Requirements:

• Body Thickness: 0.079"–0.090" (2.0mm–2.3mm)

• Kerf (Tooth) Thickness: 0.122"–0.129" (3.1mm–3.3mm)

Blade Selection

• 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.

• Plan your cut to avoid putting your hands near the blade or reaching across the blade.

Rip Cutting

This saw has the capability of rip cutting large panels (Figure 72). The sliding table removes the burden of sliding a large and heavy panel over a stationary table surface.

Determine which cutting operation will be best suited for the workpiece to be ripped.

• To use the sliding table, read the instructions titled “Rip Cutting w/Sliding Table.”

• To use the machine as a traditional table saw, skip ahead to “Rip Cutting w/Rip Fence.”

Rip Cutting with Sliding Table

1. Install the crosscut fence on the crosscut

table, and rotate it until the fence touches the 90° stop bolt (Figure 74).

DO NOT make through cuts with a dado blade. Dado blades are only intended for

warning could result in serious injury.

Model G0623X/G0623X3 (Mfg. Since 5/12)

Cutting Dadoes with a Dado Blade

Because dado blades are much wider than standard blades, they place a greater amount of force against the workpiece when cutting. This addition al force increases the risk of kickback, requiring the operator to take additional steps when cutting to keep their injury risk at an acceptable level.

The Figure below demonstrates the sequential process of making multiple, light cuts that get progressively deeper. The actual number of cuts used should be determined by workpiece hard ness, total dado depth, and feed rate. In general, if you hear the motor slow down during the cut, you are cutting too deep or feeding too fast.

Cutting Dadoes with a Standard Blade

Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to the depth and width of the cut. To minimize your risk of serious personal injury, ensure that stock is flat and straight, and make multiple light cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve the desired cutting depth.

A ripping blade is typically the best blade to use for cutting dadoes when using a standard blade because it removes sawdust very efficiently. See

Page 43 for blade details.

To use a standard saw blade to cut dadoes:

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2. Mark the width of the dado cut on the

workpiece. Include marks on the edge of the workpiece so the cut path can be aligned when the workpiece is lying on the table.

3. Raise the blade up to the desired depth of cut

(depth of dado channel desired).

4. Set the saw up for the type of cut you need

to make, depending on if it is a rip cut (Page

43) or crosscut (Page 45).

5. Align the blade to cut one of the dado sides, as shown in Figure 91.

Resawing

Making Resaw Barrier

The resaw barrier acts in tandem with the rip fence when resawing to provide tall support for the workpiece to minimize the probability of it binding against the blade and causing kickback.

Resawing operations require proper procedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kickback when resawing. Any tilting or movement of the workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Although resawing can be done with a table saw, we strongly recommend that you use a bandsaw instead.

A bandsaw is the ideal machine for resawing, and resawing with one is fairly easy and safe. A table saw is not intended for resawing, and resawing with one is difficult and dangerous due to the increased risk of kickback from binding and deep cuts, and the increased risk of injury from having to remove the guard.

Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards provide an added degree of protection against kickback, especially when used together with push sticks. They also maintain pressure on the workpiece to keep it against the fence or table while cutting, which makes the operation easier and safer because the cut can be completed without the operator’s hands getting near the blade. The angled ends and flexibility of the fingers allow the workpiece to move in only one direction.

When complete, the fingers should flex when pushed with moderate pressure. If the fingers do not flex, they are too thick.

Note: We recommend using a bandsaw for mak- ing fingers because it tends to be safer. A table saw can be used, but it will over-cut the underside of the ends, produce a thicker kerf, and require you to stop the blade half-way through the cut, which can be dangerous.

If you are securing the featherboard with clamps, no further steps are necessary. Your featherboard is complete! If you are making a featherboard that mounts in the miter slot, continue with Step 4.

5. Check the featherboard by pushing it with your thumb to ensure it is secure.

— If the featherboard moves, tighten the

clamp more.

6. Mount a second featherboard to the fence with another clamp (see Figure 105), then repeat Step 5 to ensure it is secure.

4. Position the fingered edge of the featherboard against the edge of the workpiece, so that all of the fingers contact the workpiece. Slide the featherboard toward the blade until the first finger is nearly even with the end of the workpiece, which should be 1" away from the blade.

5. Double check the workpiece and the featherboard to ensure they are properly positioned as described in Step 4. Then secure the featherboard to the table. Check the featherboard by hand to make sure it is tight.

Note: The featherboard should be placed

firmly enough against the workpiece to keep it against the fence but not so tight that it is difficult to feed the workpiece.

Push Sticks

When used correctly, push sticks reduce the risk of injury by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In the event of an accident, a push stick can also absorb damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.

Using a Push Stick

Use push sticks whenever your hands will get within 12" of the blade. To maintain control when cutting large workpieces, start the cut by feeding with your hands then use push sticks to finish the cut, so your hands are not on the end of the workpiece as it passes through the blade.

Feeding: Place the notched end of the push stick against the end of the workpiece (see inset Figure below), and move the workpiece into the blade with steady downward and forward pressure.

Supporting: A second push stick can be used to keep the workpiece firmly against the fence while cutting. When using a push stick in this manner, only apply pressure before the blade; otherwise, pushing the workpiece against or behind the blade will increase the risk of kickback (see "Push Stick Prohibition Zone" in the Figure below).

Push Blocks

When used correctly, a push block reduces the risk of injury by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In the event of an accident, a push block often takes the damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.

Using a Push Block

A push block can be used in place of or in addition to a push stick for feeding workpieces into the blade. Due to their design, push blocks allow the operator to apply firm downward pressure on the workpiece that could not otherwise be achieved with a push stick.

The push block design on this page can be used in two different ways (see inset Figure below). Typically, the bottom of the push block is used until the end of the workpiece reaches the blade.

The notched end of the push block is then used to push the workpiece the rest of the way through the cut, keeping the operator's hands at a safe distance from the blade. A push stick is often used at the same time in the other hand to support the workpiece during the cut (see "Using a Push Stick" on previous page).

Zero-Clearance

Insert

3. Remove the main blade and the spacer block

behind it (see Figure 113).

A zero-clearance insert can be made for the saw

in about 30 minutes, and must be made of

⁄4" furniture quality plywood or hardwood. (We recommend making at least 6–12 while you are going through the process, so you have plenty on hand for varying blade widths, heights, or angles.

A zero-clearance insert is required if you want to install a dado blade. When a dado blade is installed, the scoring blade and riving knife are removed—as neither will properly perform their intended function.

If you plan to use a standard blade with a zeroclearance insert, additional modifications will need to be made in order to install the scoring blade and riving knife.

If you must use this saw to cut the dimensions of the zero-clearance insert you will fabricate in these instructions, make sure you DO NOT make any cuts while the included table insert is removed. THIS IS DANGEROUS. You must re-install the table insert, reassemble all saw components, and remove all tools before cutting.

necessary components removed.

4. Remove the table insert installed on the saw.

5. Cut the new table insert to the exact length of

13. (This step only for standard blades.) Use a bandsaw or jigsaw to cut slots or notches that will allow the riving blade to be installed with minimal open space around it. If you plan to use the scoring knife, do the same for that blade (we do not recommend using the scoring blade to cut the slot in the insert because the adjustment screw is inside the cabinet).

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Schedule

The frequency of maintenance necessary for any machine will always depend on the operating conditions and environment. The schedule below is a basic guideline for keeping your machine in proper operating condition. Always repair any adverse conditions immediately upon discovery.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0623X/G0623X3 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust from the table saw and inside the cabinet. Wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.

Use compressed air (make sure to wear safety glasses and a respirator when doing this) to blow dust from between the two sections of the sliding table. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Daily (Ongoing)

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Worn or damaged saw blades.

• Worn or damaged switches or wires.

• Any other unsafe condition.

Weekly

• Clean sliding table surface and grooves.

• Lubricate the sliding table ways (Page 63).

• Clean the cast iron saw table.

• Clean the sliding table roller guideways.

• Clean the rip fence.

• Clean the rip fence bracket and rail.

Monthly

• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and off motor.

• Check V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

Every 6–12 Months

• Lubricate the trunnions (Page 63).

• Lubricate the elevation and tilt leadscrews (Page 63).

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use— this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. DO NOT clean cast iron with water or it will rust!

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96 Boeshield

T-9 (see Page 61 for more details).

Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or

Note: To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blades, the V-belts must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under proper tension.

Model G0623X/G0623X3 (Mfg. Since 5/12)

Lubrication

Bearings: The bearings are sealed and pre-

lubricated; they require no lubrication.

Trunnions: Use multi-purpose grease in the trunnion grooves (Figure 123) every 6–12 months, depending on the frequency of use. To grease the blade height trunnion, move the blade height all the way down and smear a dab of grease into the trunnion groove, behind the plate shown in Figure 123, then move the blade up all the way, then down all the way to spread the grease.

To grease the blade tilt trunnions, move the sliding table out of the way and open the blade guard. Tilt the blade to 90°. From the front of the saw, smear a dab of grease in the front of the trunnion grooves on both sides. Now, tilt the blade to 45° and reach inside the cabinet and smear a dab of grease into the back of the trunnion grooves on both sides. Tilt the blade back and forth to distribute the grease evenly.

Leadscrews: Use multi-purpose grease on the leadscrews (Figure 123) every 6-12 months, at the same time you lubricate the trunnions. Wipe the leadscrews clean with a dry rag and brush a light coat of new grease on them with a clean, dry brush. Only grease the area of the leadscrew between the stop nuts. Move the blade height and tilt back and forth to distribute the grease evenly.

Sliding Table Ways & Rip Fence Rail: Wipe on a light machine oil (such as Boeshield shown on Page 61) down the entire length of the sliding table steel rods (Figure 122) and rip fence rail.

5. Rotate the blade 180°, move the sliding table all the way forward, and measure the distance between "B" in Figure 129.

6. Note the difference between the two positions.

— If the gap is the same on both sides or the

difference is 0.004" or less, no adjustments to the table parallelism need to be made.

— If the difference is greater than 0.004",

then the sliding table parallelism must be adjusted. Proceed to Step 7.

To adjust the sliding table parallel with the main blade:

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2. Move the blade tilt to 0˚ (blade 90˚ to table),

and raise the main blade up to the maximum height.

3. Mark one of the blade teeth with a felt tip pen. This will be your reference point when taking measuring points, so you take them in the same location each time.

4. Move the sliding table all the way back, and measure the distance "A" in Figure 129, between the marked tooth and the edge of the miter slot.

Model G0623X/G0623X3 (Mfg. Since 5/12)

Sliding Table

Adjustment

If the adjustment bolts do require adjustments, turning them counterclockwise increases pressure against the steel rails. This reduces table movement slop, which increases accuracy, but makes it harder to slide the table.

The sliding table features an adjustment bar with bolts that control how easily the sliding table moves across the base (see Figure 131). These adjustment bolts are factory set. They can only be accessed by removing the end covers from both ends of the sliding table base and sliding the plastic plate out of the way.

Adjustment

Bolt

Figure 131. Adjustment bolt access location.

Turning the adjustment bolts clockwise decreases the pressure against the steel rails. This increases table movement slop, which reduces accuracy, but makes it easier to slide the table.

Adjusting this part of the sliding table correctly is a matter of trial-and-error by making adjustments, moving the sliding table, then making additional adjustments. Ultimately, the table must move easily without any slop.

Squaring Crosscut

Fence to Blade

5. Loosen the knob on the crosscut fence to

allow it to pivot (make sure 90° stop bolt remains against the fence during adjustments).

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 and that the crosscut fence is resting against the 90° stop bolt (see Figure 133 for locations).

2. Prepare the scrap test piece by cutting it to 32" x 32", then number all four sides of the test piece.

3. Use the crosscut fence to cut side of the test piece, then cut side 1 again (make five cuts total).

The riving knife must be aligned with the blade when installed. If the riving knife is not aligned with the blade, then the workpiece will be forced sideways during the cut, which will increase the risk of kickback.

The riving knife mounts to a block that can be repositioned to correctly align the riving knife to the blade. The mounting block adjusts by turning the set screws in each corner of the block. Figure 134 shows the set screws associated with controlling the mounting block position. Have patience when adjusting the mounting block, because it requires trial-and-error to perform with accuracy.

To adjust the riving knife mount block:

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2. Raise the blade all the way up, move the

sliding table to the side, and open the lower blade cover to gain access to the riving knife mounting block.

3. Loosen the lock nut that secures the riving knife to the mounting block, and remove the riving knife.

4. Adjust the each pair of set screws that controls the direction required to move the mounting block so the riving knife can be aligned with the blade. Make sure to move both set screws in even increments.

5. Reinstall the riving knife and check the alignment with the blade. Repeat Step 4 as necessary until the riving knife is properly aligned to the blade.

Figure 134. Riving knife mounting block

adjustment controls.

All adjustment and alignment positions for the riving knife are covered on Page 38 in the subsection Riving Knife Installation & Removal; the mounting block should not be adjusted unless you have been unable to mount the riving knife as instructed by these procedures.

Note: If you discover that the riving knife is

bent and cannot be properly aligned with the blade, it is possible to bend it into alignment, but make sure that the final result is precisely aligned so the risk of kickback is not increased. If the riving knife is bent, and you cannot easily bend it back into alignment, we recommend replacing it with a new one.

6. Properly re-install the riving knife as described on Page 38, close the blade cover, and move the sliding table back to the center position.

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is connected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical components!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
