Glossary Of Terms

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate
to this sliding 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 cuts a flat bot-

tomed 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

from the saw blade passing through it while
cutting.

Kickback: A dangerous event that happens if

the blade catches on the workpieces while
cutting. The force of the blade then throws the
workpiece back toward the operator with what
sounds like a horrible explosion. The danger
comes from flying stock striking the operator or
bystanders. The operator’s hands may also be
pulled into the blade during the kickback. Refer
to Preventing Kickback on Page 13 for addi­tional information.

Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation in which

the workpiece is not completely sawn through.
Dado and rabbet cuts are considered Non­Through Cuts because the blade does not
protrude above the top face of the wood stock.

Parallel: When two objects are spaced 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).

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.

Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the rip fence

is used to cut with the grain, or cut across the
widest width of the workpiece.

Riving Knife: Metal plate located behind the

blade maintains the kerf opening in the wood
when cutting, and helps reduce the risk of
injury from a kickback that otherwise would
result in amputation.

Straightedge: A tool with a perfectly straightedge

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.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

Model G0820 (Mfd. Since 12/16)

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Sliding Table Saws

Serious injury or death can occur from getting cut or having body parts, such as fingers,
amputated by rotating saw blade. Workpieces thrown by kickback can strike operators or
bystanders with deadly force. Flying particles from cutting operations or broken blades can
cause eye injuries or blindness. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating
machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

HAND & BODY POSITIONING. Keep hands

away from saw blade and out of blade path dur­ing operation, so they cannot slip accidentally into
blade. Stand to side of blade path. Never reach
around, behind, or over blade. Only operate at
front of machine.

BLADE GUARD. Use blade guard for all cuts
that allow it to be used safely. Make sure blade
guard is installed and adjusted correctly. Promptly
repair or replace if damaged. Re-install blade
guard immediately after operations that require its
removal.

RIVING KNIFE. Use riving knife for all cuts. Make
sure riving knife is aligned and positioned cor­rectly. Promptly repair or replace it if damaged.

KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when saw blade
ejects workpiece back toward operator. Know how
to reduce risk of kickback. Learn how to protect
yourself if it does occur.

FENCE ADJUSTMENTS. Make sure rip fence
remains properly adjusted and parallel with blade.
Always lock fence before using.

PUSH STICKS/BLOCKS. Use push sticks or
push blocks whenever possible to keep your
hands farther away from blade while cutting. In
event of an accident these devices will often take
damage that would have happened to hands/
fingers.

BLADE ADJUSTMENTS. Adjusting blade height
or tilt during operation increases risk of crash­ing blade and sending metal fragments flying
with deadly force at operator or bystanders. Only
adjust blade height and tilt when blade is com­pletely stopped and saw is OFF.

CHANGING BLADES. Always disconnect power
before changing blades. Changing blades while
saw is connected to power greatly increases
injury risk if saw is accidentally powered up.

WORKPIECE CONTROL. Feeding workpiece
incorrectly increases risk of kickback. Make sure
workpiece is in stable position on tables and
supported by rip fence or crosscut fence during
cutting operation. Never start saw with workpiece
touching blade. Allow blade to reach full speed
before cutting. Only feed workpiece against direc­tion of main blade rotation. Always use some type
of guide to feed workpiece in a straight line. Never
back workpiece out of cut or move it backwards
or sideways after starting a cut. Feed cuts all the
way through to completion. Never perform any
operation “freehand”. Turn OFF saw and wait
until blade is completely stopped before removing
workpiece.

-12-

DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades
that have been dropped or otherwise damaged.

CUTTING CORRECT MATERIAL. Never cut
materials not intended for this saw. Only cut natu­ral and man-made wood products, laminate cov­ered wood products, and some plastics. Cutting
metal, glass, stone, tile, etc. increases risk of
operator injury due to kickback or flying particles.

Model G0820 (Mfd. Since 12/16)

Preventing Kickback

Protecting Yourself

Do the following to prevent kickback:

• When rip cutting, only cut workpieces that
have at least one smooth and straightedge.
DO NOT cut excessively warped, cupped or
twisted wood. If workpiece warpage is ques­tionable, always choose another workpiece.

• Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece
is not fed parallel with the blade, kickback
will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or
crosscut fence to support the workpiece.

• Ensure sliding table slides parallel with the
blade; otherwise, the chances of kickback are
extreme. Take the time to check and adjust

the sliding table before cutting.

• Always use the riving knife whenever pos­sible. It reduces risk of kickback and reduces
your risk of injury if it does occur.

• Always keep blade guard installed and in
good working order.

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

From Kickback

Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it
may still happen. Here are some precautions
to help protect yourself if kickback DOES
occur:

• Stand to the side of the blade path when
cutting. If a kickback does occur, the thrown
workpiece usually travels directly towards the
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 parts of your body.

• Never, for any reason, place your hand behind
the blade path. Should kickback occur, your
hand will be pulled into the blade.

• Use a push stick or push block to keep your
hands farther away from the moving blade. If
a kickback occurs, these safety devices will
most likely take the damage that your hand
would have received.

• Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices
to prevent or slow down kickback.

• Ensure rip fence is adjusted parallel with the
blade; otherwise, the chances of kickback are
extreme. Take the time to check and adjust
the rip fence before cutting.

Statistics show that the 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 the 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 electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to 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 specified circuit requirements.

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

This machine can be converted to operate on a
power supply circuit that has a verified ground
and meets the requirements listed below. (Refer
to Voltage Conversion instructions for details.)

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure 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.)

codes in your area.

Model G0820 (Mfd. Since 12/16)

Grounding Instructions

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.

For 220V operation: The power cord and plug
specified under “
on the previous page have an equipment-ground­ing wire and a grounding prong. The plug must
only be inserted into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances
(see figure below).

For 440V operation: As specified in “Circuit
Requirements for 440V” on the previous page, the
machine must be hardwired to the power source,
using a locking switch as a disconnecting means
(see below). The machine must also be connect­ed to a grounded metal permanent wiring system;
or to a system having an equipment-grounding
conductor. Due to the complexity and high voltage
involved, this type of installation MUST be done
by a qualified electrician.

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.

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 can
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
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the
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.
