WARNING: For Your Own Safety Read
Instruction Manual Before Operating Saw
Safety Instructions For Power Tools
These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a woodshop. Consider your conditions when setting up
or operating your table saw.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.
Conductor size must be 16 A.W.G. for cords
up to 100 feet in length. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or replace
extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gage for extension cord:
16 A.W.G. 50ft
16 A.W.G. 100ft
14 A.W.G. 200ft
12 A.W.G. 300ft
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors
should be kept a safe distance from work
area.
6. MAKE WORK SHOP KID PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
SECTION 1: SAFETY
G1023 Heavy-Duty Table Saw -3-
Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws
1. ALWAYS use guard, splitter and anti-kick-
back fingers on all ''through-sawing'' operations. Through-sawing operations are those
when the blade cuts completely through the
work- piece as in ripping or cross cutting.
2. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the
miter gauge or fence.
3. ALWAYS use a push-stick for ripping nar-
row stock. Refer to ripping applications on
Page 23 of this manual, and Page 37 where
push- stick use is covered in detail.
4. NEVER perform any operation ''free-hand''
which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use
either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.
5. NEVER stand or have any part of your body
in line with the path of the saw blade.
6. NEVER reach behind or over the blade with
either hand for any reason.
7. MOVE the rip fence out of the way when
cross cutting.
8. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gauge
when cross cutting.
9. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade
without first turning the saw OFF.
10. PROVIDE adequate support to the rear and
sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
11. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back
toward you) by keeping blade sharp, keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade, keeping splitter and anti-kickback fingers and
guard in place and operating, by not releasing work before it is pushed all the way past
the saw blade, and by not ripping work that
is twisted or warped or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the fence.
12. AVOID awkward operations and hand posi-
tions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the blade.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.

Unpacking
The Model G1023 is shipped from the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If you discover
the machine is damaged after you’ve signed for
delivery, please call Customer Service immedi-
ately for advice.
Save the containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.
Otherwise filing a freight claim can be difficult.
Caution: The Model G1023 is a heavy machine
(425 lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert
yourself while unpacking or moving your machine
– get assistance. In the event that your table saw
must be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be
sure that the stairs are capable of supporting the
combined weight of people and the machine.
When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.
Piece Inventory
After all the parts have been removed from the
carton, you should have:
• Table Saw Unit
• Miter Gauge
• Extension Wings (2)
• Fence Rails
• Adhesive Scale For Fence
• Fence Assembly
• Splitter/Guard Assembly
• Bolt Bag
Contents of bolt bag:
3
⁄8" - 16 x 1 1⁄4" Hex Bolts (6)
3

Clean up
The table and other unpainted parts of the Model
G1023 are coated with a waxy oil that protects
them from corrosion during shipment. Remove
the protective coating with mineral spirits and
paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based solvents because of their extremely
low flash points. Do not use chlorine-based solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.
WARNING!
Follow the safety rules listed below when
working with solvents:
1. Read and follow all directions and warnings
on the solvent label.
2. Work only in a well ventilated area.
3. Do not work near any type of open flame
(e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so
on).
4. DO NOT smoke while working with flamma-
ble material.
5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are
extremely combustible. Dispose of waste
towels so they do not create a fire hazard.
Site Considerations
1. Floor Load: Your Model G1023 Table Saw
represents a large weight load in a small
footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable
for the Model G1023. Some residential floors
may require additional bracing to support
both machine and operator.
2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for your Table Saw.
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe
local electrical codes for proper installation
of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
G1023 Heavy-Duty Table Saw -7-
Circuit Requirements
The Model G1023 Table Saw has one 3 HP
motor. It has been pre-wired to operate at 220V,
single phase operation and cannot be operated
at 110V. The Model G1023 motor will safely draw
about 18 amps at 220V. If you operate the table
saw on any circuit that is already close to its
capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit
breaker. However, if an unusual load does not
exist, and power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.
Circuit breakers/fuses: A 30 amp circuit break-
er or fuse should be used with a 220V dedicated
circuit. The general rule is to use the lightest
breaker or fuse that will hold under regular loads.
Circuit breakers or fuses that are rated higher
may not adequately protect the motor.
The Model G1023 is not equipped with a plug. It
will be necessary to connect a plug that is suit-
able for your 220V receptacle. Figure 1.
This equipment must be grounded. Please
ensure that the Model G1023 is continuously
grounded from the motor to the machine frame
and then to a known ground. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug
into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper
grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground.
Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any three-pronged plug be removed.
CAUTION: Be sure that your particular electrical
configuration complies with local and state codes.
The best way to ensure compliance is to check
with your local municipality or licensed electrician.
Grounding

Beginning Assembly
Most of your Model G1023 Table Saw has been
assembled at the factory, but some parts must be
assembled or installed after delivery. We have
organized the assembly process into steps.
Please follow along in the order presented here.
Note: All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge
(called “flashing”) on them after they are formed.
This is removed at the factory. Sometimes,
though, a bit of flashing might escape inspection.
Please examine the edges of all metal parts
before handling them.
TOOLS REQUIRED: A high quality square and
long straightedge plus common hand tools are
necessary to assemble this machine. You will
need a set of open and closed ended metric
wrenches, a flat tipped screwdriver, Phillips
screwdriver, dead blow hammer, and a 6" or 8"
adjustable wrench.
Hand Wheels
The handle on the arbor tilting hand wheel has
been installed backward for shipping.
Unscrew it and then reinstall it in the correct posi-
tion. Figure 2.
SECTION 3: ASSEMBLY
Figure 2.
G1023 Heavy-Duty Table Saw -9-
Figure 3.
Switch
The magnetic switch comes prewired to the
motor. However, you must mount the switch to
the table saw body before it can be used. A
bracket with screws to attach it is provided.
Figure 3.
Extension Wings
Inspect the extension wings for burrs or foreign
material that may inhibit assembly. The mating
edges of the wings and table must be clean,
smooth, and flat. Use a wire brush or file if necessary to clean up the edges. It is possible to
attach the extension wings to the table by yourself, but it is easier if someone else holds the
wing in place while you insert the bolts.
1. Attach each wing to the table using the six
3
⁄8" - 16 x 1 1⁄4" Hex Head Bolts and 3⁄8" Flat
Washers provided. Get the wings reasonably flush with the table. Do not tighten the
bolts.
2. Align the top of the wing flush with the table
top directly above the front bolt and tighten
the front bolt. The front surface of the extension wing should also be flush with the front
surface of the table.
3. Raise or lower the rear of the extension wing
until the middle of the wing is flush with the
table top. Tighten the middle bolt.
4. Raise or lower the rear of the wing until the
wing and table are flush. Tighten the bolt.
Any adjustment at this point should be very
slight.
5. Re-check flushness at the front bolt and re-
adjust if necessary.
6. Repeat steps 2-4 for the other extension
wing.
7. Now, check the alignment of the table and
both wings with a straight edge. The straightedge should run flat across both wings and
the table top. Figure 4. If the straightedge
contacts both wings and the table evenly,
you are finished with this section. If it does
not, continue to step 8.
Figure 5.
-10- G1023 Heavy-Duty Table Saw
8. If the wing tilts down, remove the wing and
stick layers of masking tape under each bolt
near the bottom edge. Re-install the wing
and check the flushness again.
9. If the wing tilts up, remove the wing and stick
layers of masking tape over each bolt near
the top edge. Re-install the wing and check
the flushness again. Figure 5.
Masking Tape
Figure 4.
Guard Support Shaft
Install the guard support shaft before installing
the blade. This will eliminate the risk of accidentally touching the sharp edges of the blade while
working inside the saw cabinet.
1. Push the threaded end of the shaft through
the hole in the back of the saw until the
shoulder on the shaft stops it.
2. Secure the shaft with the hex nut provided.
Figure 6.
Figure 6.
G1023 Heavy-Duty Table Saw -11-
Figure 7.
Blade
The Model G1023 is not supplied with a blade.
For a selection of blades, including dado sets,
refer to the Grizzly catalog for selection, price and
ordering information. To install the blade:
1. Remove the arbor nut and outside arbor
flange from inside the blade cavity. Figure 7.
The arbor nut and arbor are left hand threaded.
2. Slide the saw blade over the arbor. Ensure
that the blade teeth point toward you when
standing at the front of the saw.
3. Use the arbor wrench provided with the saw
to tighten the arbor nut and secure the blade.
Wedge a block of wood in the teeth to keep
the blade from turning when tightening the
nut. Be sure the arbor flanges are on either
side of the blade.
4. When removing the blade, use the same
block of wood to wedge the blade and the
nut will come off easily.
2. Set a combination square against the face of
the guard. Slightly rotate the rear bracket to
adjust the face of the blade guard perpendic-
ular to the table top. Figure 9.
Figure 8.
Figure 9.
Blade Guard
1. Slip the blade guard/splitter over the mount-
ing bolts. Figure 8. The washers should be
between the bolt head and the slots. Tighten
the bolts to secure the blade guard/splitter.
