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 crosscut

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.

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.

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 17 for additional information.

Model G0853 (Mfd. Since 06/24)

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 straight

edge 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.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, 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 rec-

ommended 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.

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. Never move fence while blade is rotating. Adjusting fence during operation increases risk of crashing fence and sending metal fragments flying with deadly force at operator or bystanders. Only adjust fence when blade is completely stopped and saw is OFF. 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.

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.

-16-

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.

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 G0853 (Mfd. Since 06/24)

Preventing Kickback

Do the following to prevent kickback:

• When rip cutting, only cut workpieces that have at least one smooth and straight edge. 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.

• Make sure the riving knife is properly 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, stop operations, and check it immediately!

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.

Protecting Yourself

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:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

not properly grounded

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.)

Connection Type

A permanently connected (hardwired) power supply is typically installed with wires running through mounted and secured conduit. A disconnecting means, such as a locking switch (see following figure), must be provided to allow the machine to be disconnected (isolated) from the power supply when required. This installation must be performed by an electrician in accordance with all applicable electrical codes and ordinances.

Since this machine must be permanently connected to the power supply, an extension cord cannot be used.

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!

Phase Converters

Avoid using a static phase converter to supply 3-phase power for this machine, as it could damage or decrease the life of sensitive electrical components. If you must use a phase converter, only use a rotary phase converter that is sized at least 50% larger than the largest HP rating of this machine. If using a phase converter to supply power, only connect the manufactured leg or "wild wire" to the "S" terminal. The S terminal can handle power fluctuations because it is wired directly to the motor.

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 manufac-

turer’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:

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.

See below for required space allocation.

Physical Environment

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,

Place this machine near an existing power source. Make sure all power cords are protected from traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space around machine to disconnect power supply or

Lifting &

Placing Saw

To lift and place saw:

Position crate as close to installation location

as possible.

Remove small items packed around saw and

unbolt saw from pallet.

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

4. With an assistant holding each end to help

stabilize load, lift saw with forklift just high enough to clear pallet, and move it to your predetermined location.

Lower saw onto ground and back forklift

away.

Remove top of crate. Position forklift forks as

wide as they can be while still fitting under center opening (see Figure 18).

Assembly

This machine must be fully assembled before it can be operated. Before beginning the assembly process, refer to Needed for Setup and gather all listed items.

2. Raise sliding table over machine frame (see Figure 20A), position mounting plates over

mounting holes (see Figure 20B), and lower sliding table onto frame.

The sliding table weighs nearly 400 pounds. It must be lifted and carefully positioned onto the machine frame during assembly. If you are using a forklift to lift and place it, you'll need to use lifting slings around the table to prevent scratching the aluminum surface.

If you are not able to use the described forklift method, the sliding table can be lifted into place by four strong people—with one lifting from each corner.

The only other part of the assembly that requires additional help is installation of the extension tables and blade guard arm. It takes approximately two hours to assemble the saw and make the required adjustments to prepare the saw for the test run.

To assemble sliding table saw:

Turn sliding table upside down and identify

Dust Collection

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/ dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and capturing the dust with a dust-collection system.

Minimum CFM at 5" Dust Port: 600 CFM Minimum CFM at 4" Dust Port: 400 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

2. Fit 4" dust hose over dust port on middle guard arm, as shown in Figure 67, and secure with hose clamp.

Before the machine can be connected to the power source, an electrical circuit and connection device must be prepared per the POWER SU P PLY section in this manual; and all previous setup instructions in this manual must be complete to ensure that the machine has been assembled and installed properly. The disconnect switch installed by the electrician (as recommended) is the primary means for disconnecting or connecting the machine to the power source.

Move the disconnect switch handle to the ON position, as illustrated below. The machine is now connected to the power source.

Move the disconnect switch handle to the OFF position, as illustrated below. The machine is now disconnected from the power source.

Note:

Lock the switch in the OFF position to

Power Connection

Electrocution, fire, shock,

may occur if machine is

and connected to power supply.

Note About Phase Converters: Due to the start-

up load from this machine, we do not recommend using a static phase converter to create 3-phase power—as it can quickly decrease the life of electrical components on this machine. If you must use a phase converter, only use a rotary phase converter. Only connect the manufactured leg or "wild wire" to the S terminal (see location on Page

106). The S terminal can handle power fluctuation

because it is wired directly to the motor.

To connect saw to power:

Troubleshooting

Twist each Emergency Stop button clockwise

so it pops out (see Figure 72). This resets the buttons so machine can start.

Figure 72. Resetting Emergency Stop button.

-43-

6. Verify motors are operating correctly by pressing main blade and scoring blade ON buttons (refer to Figure 1 on Page 5) on front console.

— When operating correctly, machine runs

smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

— Investigate and correct strange or unusu-

al noises or vibrations before operating machine further. Always stop machine and disconnect it from power before investigating or correcting potential problems.

Verify main blade is rotating clockwise (as

standing in front of machine) and scoring blade is rotating counterclockwise (opposite direction of main blade).

Note: You may need to stop blade rotation

and watch blades come to a stop to determine which direction they are rotating.

— If blades are rotating in wrong direction,

stop machine and DISCONNECT FROM POWER! Polarity of incoming power supply is reversed. Swap “R” and “T” wire positions inside power supply junction box (see Figure 73), and reconnect machine to power.

Do not swap "R" or "T" wires with ground wire inside power supply junction box. Doing so will electrify machine frame, which could cause electrocution. Make sure incoming ground wire is only connected to right-most terminal post in the power supply junction box so machine is properly grounded.

Press Emergency Stop button on front con-

sole to turn machine OFF.

WITHOUT resetting Emergency Stop button,

press main blade and scoring blade ON buttons on front console. Machine should not start.

— If machine does not start, safety feature

of Emergency Stop button is working correctly.

— If machine does start, immediately turn

machine OFF and disconnect from power. The safety feature of the Emergency Stop button is NOT working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations. Call Tech Support for help.

Non-Through Cuts

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 Figure below. The blade guard assembly MUST be used when performing all non-through cuts, except when the guard will not safely accommodate the workpiece.

Blade Guard

The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly shown in Figure 78.

Figure 78. Blade guard assembly.

Understanding & Using Blade Guard

The blade guard MUST be installed on the saw for all cuts. The guard encloses the top of the blade to reduce the risk of accidental blade contact and to contain flying chips or dust. When installed and properly maintained, it is an excellent tool for reducing the risk of injury when operating the table saw.

Sometimes the guard or its components can get in the way when cutting very narrow workpieces or performing other specialized cuts. Use the lock handle shown in Figure 78 to move the guard out of the way. The blade guard MUST remain installed on the saw. If the blade guard is removed for specific operations, always replace it immediately after those operations are complete.

As the workpiece is pushed into the blade, the guard lifts and remains in contact with the workpiece during the cut, then returns to a resting position against the table once the workpiece is pushed completely past the guard.

Adjusting Blade Guard

Loosen the hex bolt securing the guard arm (see Figure 78), and adjust the guard so the distance between the blade and both guard covers is equal.

For stock up to 1" thick, loosen the (3) lock nuts securing the guard to the guard arm (see Figure

⁄4-turn each so the blade guard moves

79) smoothly up and down with the workpiece. For stock thicker than 1", set the guard to rest on the workpiece, then tighten the (3) lock nuts.

x 3

Figure 79. Location of blade guard lock nuts.

IMPORTANT: Every time the blade guard is re-

installed, you must verify that it functions correctly before making a cut.

To test blade guard operation, lift the front end all the way up, then release it. The blade guard should freely drop down and both wheels should contact the table surface.

If the blade guard remains in the same position where you released it, loosen the lock nuts securing the blade guard to the guard arm, and re-test operation until the guard freely drops all the way down.

To ensure that the guard does its job effectively, it MUST be centered over blade and properly adjusted so it moves up and down to accommodate workpieces and maintain coverage over the blade after the workpiece exits.

Model G0853 (Mfd. Since 06/24)

Guard Covers

The G0853 features two dust hood assemblies for either straight cuts or angled cuts. Use the flat blade cover when performing straight (90°) cuts or the wide (bubble) cover for angled cuts. To change between covers, loosen the lock knob (see Figure 80), pull the guard assembly straight out, install the other cover, and re-tighten the lock knob.

Figure 80. Installing blade guard cover.

Riving Knife

The riving knife (see Figure 81) is a metal plate that prevents the freshly cut pieces of the workpiece from pinching the backside of the blade and causing kickback. It also acts as a barrier behind the blade to shield hands from being pulled into the blade if kickback occurs and the operator is reaching behind the blade. (Reaching behind the blade is a major safety risk and should never be done.) Use the riving knife for all operations.

Figure 82. Installing riving knife on mounting

block.

For riving knife to work safely, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to blade.

Secure the riving knife so the top is 1–5mm below the top level of the blade, as shown in Figure 83.

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).

-49-

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 of the blade, as shown in Figure 84.

When to Use Riving Knife

Use the riving knife for all non-through cuts (defined on Page 47) or for those special operations where the blade guard or its components get in the way of safe operation, such as with very narrow cuts.

When Not to Use Riving Knife

Although it is possible to use the riving knife for through-cutting operations, the blade guard assembly offers far more injury protection and risk reduction than the riving knife. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you use the blade guard assembly and riving knife instead of just the riving knife alone for through-cuts.

Figure 85. Checking top and bottom riving knife

alignment with blade.

The riving knife should be parallel with the blade along its length at both positions and should be in the "Alignment Zone" shown in Figure 86.

Dado Cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece.

Typically, dadoes can be cut using either a dedicated dado blade or a standard saw blade. However, since the Model G0853 cannot accept dado blades, a standard blade must be used.

Repeat cutting operation on other side of

dado channel, as shown in Figure 150.

Rabbet Cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is an L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece.

Typically, rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade. However, because the Model G0853 cannot accept dado blades, rabbets must be cut with a standard saw blade only.

A ripping blade is typically the best blade to use for cutting rabbets when using a standard blade because it removes sawdust very efficiently (see Page 51 for blade details). Also, a sacrificial fence is not required when cutting rabbets with a standard blade.

Always use push sticks, featherboards, push paddles, and other safety accessories whenever possible to increase safety and control during operations which require removal of blade guard. ALWAYS replace blade guard after operation is complete.

3. Raise blade to desired depth of rabbet chan-

nel desired.

Stand workpiece on edge, as shown in

4. Figure 152, then adjust rip fence so blade is

aligned with inside of rabbet channel.

DO NOT place a tall board on edge when cutting a rabbet. Overly tall workpieces cannot be properly supported with the fence and can easily shift during operation, causing kickback or loss of control. Instead, use another tool to cut these types of rabbets.

Resawing

Making a 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 blade guard.

If you insist on resawing with a table saw, DO NOT do so without using a resaw barrier and wearing safety glasses and a full face shield.

The following instructions describe how to build a resaw barrier that can be used with the rip fence when resawing to reduce the risk of injury.

SECTION 5: SHOP MADE SAFETY

ACCESSORIES

Featherboards

We recommend using a bandsaw for mak-

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 with-

out 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.

Making a Featherboard

2) those secured with the miter slot.

ing fingers in the next step 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.

Make a series of end cuts with grain 3⁄8"–1⁄4"

apart and 2"–3" long, as shown in Figure 156 (A). Alternatively, start cuts at 2"-3" deep, then make them progressively deeper, as shown in Figure 156 (B).

Cut hardwood board approximately 3⁄4" thick to

size. The length and width of board can vary according to your design. Most featherboards are 10"–28" long and 3"–6" wide. Make sure wood grain runs parallel with length of featherboard, so fingers you will create in Step 3 will bend without breaking.

Cut a 30º angle at one end of board.

-78 -

IMPORTANT: Cuts made across grain result in weak fingers that easily break when flexed. When made correctly, fingers should withstand flexing from moderate pressure. To test the finger flexibility, push firmly on the ends with your thumb. If the fingers do not flex, they are likely too thick (the cuts are too far apart).

Note: The routed slot, countersink hole, and

the flat head screw are essential for the miter bar to clamp into the miter slot. When the wing nut is tightened, it will draw the flat head screw upward into the countersunk hole. This will spread the sides of the miter bar and force them into the walls of the miter slot, locking the featherboard in place.

Tip: The length of the flat head screw depends

on the thickness of the featherboard—though

Double-check workpiece and featherboard

to ensure they are properly positioned as described in Step 4. Then secure featherboard to table. Check 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.

Model G0853 (Mfd. Since 06/24)

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).

Lubrication

To reduce risk of shock or accidental startup, always disconnect machine from

An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the components before lubricating them. This step is critical because dust and chips build up on lubricated components, which makes them hard to move. Simply adding more lubrication to builtup grime will not result in smooth-moving parts. Clean the components in this section with an oil/ grease solvent cleaner or mineral spirits before applying lubrication.

All bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated. Leave them alone until they need to be replaced.

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 with the blade. The mounting block adjusts by turning the set screws in each corner of the block. Figure 187 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.

Rip Fence

There are three adjustments that affect the accuracy and operation of the rip fence: 1) Height above the table, 2) parallelism with the blade, and 3) distance to the blade. If your cuts are not square when using the rip fence, or if the width of your cuts are inaccurate, check these adjustments. Parallelism is an important safety adjustment and the rip fence MUST be parallel with the blade to minimize the risk of kickback.

Height Above Table

The rip fence and base should ride as close to the table surface as possible without touching it and with an even gap along the length. This is accomplished by adjusting the rip fence leadscrew housing and the roller at the end of the fence base.

Parallelism With Blade

Parallelism is an important safety adjustment. Rip fence MUST be parallel with blade to minimize risk of kickback.

Tool(s) Needed Qty

Wrench 19mm ................................................... 1

Fine Ruler or Dial Indicator

To adjust rip fence parallel with main blade:

Raise main blade all the way up and tilt to 0°.

2. Move rip fence as close as possible to main

blade.

Use a dial indicator or fine ruler to measure

gap between fence and blade.

— If gap between rip fence and main blade

is even at both ends, then fence is parallel with main blade. No further adjustment is necessary.

— If gap between rip fence and main blade is

not even at both ends, loosen cap screws securing fence base to mounting bracket (see Figure 197), and adjust set screws on face of bracket until fence is parallel with blade, then retighten cap screws.

Distance To Blade

The distance between the rip fence and the blade must be calibrated accurately to produce precise cuts. If the width of your cuts does not match the measurements entered in the control panel, perform the steps below. Likewise, each time the main blade is changed, or the fence face is changed between vertical and horizontal positions, this procedure should be followed.

Items Needed Qty

Measuring Tape ................................................. 1

Scrap Test Piece 20" x 20"

............................... 1

Note: Loosen right-hand set screw and

tighten left-hand set screw evenly to rotate fence base clockwise. Loosen lefthand set screw and tighten right-hand set screw evenly to rotate fence base counterclockwise.

Mounting

Bracket

To calibrate rip fence distance to blade:

Enter 10" on overhead control panel and

press START key.

Once rip fence has moved into position, load

test piece onto table saw.

Prepare test piece by cutting it to 10" wide.

4. Measure width of test piece.

— If test piece measures 10" wide, then you

are finished with this procedure.

— If test piece does not measure 10" wide,

then rip fence needs to be calibrated. Proceed to Step 5.
