16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. On machines with mag-

netic contact starting switches there is a risk of starting if the machine is bumped or jarred. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting or servicing. Make sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.

17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN “KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward

the operator if not handled properly. Know what conditions can create “kickback” and know how to avoid them.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther 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. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental

alertness is required at all times when running a machine.

21. NEVER ALLOW UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE WHILE UNSUPERVISED. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to machine operation are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

22. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES performing the

intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

-4- G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw

Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws

1. ALWAYS use blade guard, splitter and

anti-kickback fingers on all ''through-sawing'' operations. Through-sawing operations are those when the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or crosscutting.

2. AVOID KICKBACKS. A condition in which

a piece of wood is thrown back towards an operator at a high rate of speed. If you do not have a complete understanding of how

kickback occurs, or how to prevent it, DO

NOT operate this table saw.

3. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the

miter gauge or fence while holding down against the table.

4. ALWAYS use a push-stick for ripping nar-

row stock.

5. 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.

6. NEVER stand or have any part of your

body in line with the path of the saw blade.

7. NEVER reach behind or over the blade

with either hand while the saw is running. If kickback occurs, that hand will be pulled into the spinning blade.

8. NEVER use the miter gauge and rip fence

at the same time. Move the rip fence out of the way when crosscutting.

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 awkward operations and hand

positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.

12. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

13. ALWAYS LOWER OR REMOVE SAW BLADE WHEN NOT IN USE.

14. NEVER USE A DAMAGED SAW BLADE OR ONE THAT HAS BEEN DROPPED.

15. DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS PRESENT SPECIFIC DANGER because

those operations must be performed with the blade guard removed. Be especially aware of your personal safety whenever operating saw with the guard removed, and always immediately replace the blade guard after these operations are complete.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Operating this machinery may require additional safety precautions specific to your shop environment. Failure to use reasonable caution while operating this machine could result in serious personal injury.

Like all power tools, there is danger associated with table saws. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -5-

Push Sticks

The use of push sticks, particularly when cutting small or narrow workpieces, provides a double benefit for saw operators. The push stick provides added leverage, enabling the operator to keep the workpiece firmly supported against the fence and the table. At the same time, the push stick keeps the operator’s hand safely away from the rotation of the saw blade. See the template at the end of the manual for construction details, or purchase one from the Grizzly catalog. See

Figure 1.

Zero Clearance Table Inserts

Ideal for use when ripping thin strips or making bevel cuts, zero clearance table inserts prevent tear-out and jammed blades by supporting material that is close to the blade. Use the standard table insert as a template when creating additional inserts from wood or plywood. Blade slot inserts can be custom cut for specific blade angles by raising the running blade into an uncut insert at the angle you desire. Be sure to make an additional slot for the blade splitter. There are also a wide selection of table inserts in the Grizzly catalog. Clamp the insert firmly in place with a piece of wood when creating slots. Never hold the table insert with your hand while cutting new

slots. See Figure 2 for examples of zero clear-

ance table inserts.

Safety Accessories

Statistics prove that 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 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. The following can help minimize kickbacks.

1. Use your blade guard and splitter.

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

3. Inspect for alignment along the splitter and your blade.

4. Never use the fence as a guide for crosscutting.

5. Never attempt freehand cuts.

6. Use a pushstick or featherboard to maintain control of your workpiece.

7. Feed cuts through to completion.

8. Stand to the side when ripping.

9. Ensure that your fence and your miter slot are parallel to the blade.

If you do not have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, do not operate this table saw.

Figure 1. Push Stick.

-6- G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw

Push Paddles

Push paddles (shown in Figure 3) provide added

leverage and support when ripping or crosscutting wide workpieces. There are a number of push paddles in the Grizzly catalog.

Featherboards

Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards provide an added degree of protection against kickback. To make a featherboard, cut a 30-40° angle at one end of the board, and make a number of end cuts at approximately

⁄4" apart and 2" to 3"

deep. There are a number of featherboards in the

Grizzly catalog. See Figure 4.

Common Definitions, Terms and Phrases

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate to this table saw and woodworking in general. Becoming familiar with these terms is important before

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 cutting blade is attached.

Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the saw arbor and blade

to an angle between 0° and 45° to perform an angled cutting operation.

Blade Guard: Metal or plastic mechanism that

mounts over the saw blade to prevent accidental contact with the cutting edge.

Crosscut: Table saw operation in which the miter

gauge is used to cut across the grain of a piece of wood.

Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that attach to

the arbor and are used for cutting grooves and rabbets.

Dado Cut: Table saw operation that uses a dado

blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the face of wood stock.

Featherboard: Safety device used to keep a

board against the rip fence or table. Allows operator to keep hands away from the saw blade.

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap made by a saw

blade.

Kickback: An event in which the wood is thrown

back toward an operator at a high rate of speed.

Miter Gauge: A component that controls the

wood stock movement while performing a crosscut. Allows for variation of angle cuts such as miter cuts used on a picture frame.

Moulding Head: A cutterhead attached to the

arbor. Accepts interchangeable moulding knives for profile cutting. We DO NOT recommend the use of moulding heads because they require advanced skills for their operation.

Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every

point. i.e. the rip fence face is parallel to the side face of the saw blade.

Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that

requires the removal of the blade guard and splitter. Dado and rabbet cuts are considered Non-Through Cuts because the blade does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock. Always remember to reinstall the blade guard and splitter after performing a non-through cut.

Perpendicular: Intersecting and forming right

angles; at right angles to the vertical and horizontal planes. i.e. the blade is perpendicular to the table surface.

Push Paddle: Safety aid used to push a piece of

wood stock through a cutting operation.

Push Stick: Safety aid used to push a piece of

wood stock through a cutting operation. Usually used when rip cutting.

Rabbet: Cutting operation that creates an L-

shaped channel along the edge of wood stock.

Splitter: Metal plate attached to the back of the

blade guard that maintains the kerf opening in the wood when performing a cutting operation.

Standard Kerf:

⁄8" gap made with a standard

blade.

Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,

parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).

Through Cut: A sawing operation in which the

wood stock thickness is completely sawn through. Proper blade height usually allows

⁄4" of the top of the blade to extend above the wood stock.

Thin Kerf:

⁄32" gap made with a thin kerf blade.

Rip Cut: A cut made along the grain of the wood.

Sacrificial Fence: A piece of wood attached to

the face of the rip fence that is designed to extend the fence face away from the metal portion of the fence. Used primarily when making rabbet cuts with a dado blade.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

The Model G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10" Table Saw has a 3 HP, 3450 RPM motor which requires a 220V single-phase circuit. The cord set included does not have a plug, as the style of plug you require will depend upon the type of service you currently have or plan to install. The motor will safely draw about 18 amps at 220V under load. If you operate the Model G1023SL/G1023SLX 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.

In preparing to connect the Model G1023SL/G1023SLX to your existing or new circuit, connect a plug that matches your 220V receptacle as long as it is rated to 20 amps or more. If you will be installing a new receptacle and plug, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-20

plug and outlet shown in Figure 5.

The Model G1023SL/G1023SLX should be fused at 20 amps. Fusing at amperage ratings higher than 20 amps will not adequately protect the circuit. Also be sure that the wiring in your circuit is rated to handle 20 amps.

Figure 5. 220V Single-Phase

Grounding

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor which must be properly connected to a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -9-

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension, make sure the cord is rated Standard Service (grade S) or bet-

ter. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety to

determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Extension Cords

Always utilize a qualified electrician when doing any electrical work on this equipment.

Wiring

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your machine. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.

G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -13-

Clean up

The table and other unpainted parts of the Model G1023SL/G1023SLX are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Do not use chlorinebased solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Site Considerations

1. Floor Load: Your Model

G1023SL/G1023SLX represents a large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for the saw. 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 shadows 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.

Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to clean with. They have low flash points which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur.

Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in wellventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Most of your Model G1023SL/G1023SLX 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a high quality

square, a long straightedge, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm open end wrenches and a 3mm Allen

wrench.

Extension Wings

Inspect the extension wings for burrs or foreign material that may inhibit assembly. The mating edges of the wings and the table must be clean, smooth, and flat. Use a wire brush or file if necessary to clean up the edges. For the Model G1023SLX, only follow the left wing instructions.

1. Attach the left wing to the table using the

three hex head bolts and the flat washers provided. Adjust the wing reasonably flush with the table. Do not tighten the bolts.

2. Attach the right wing to the table using the

three hex head bolts and the flat washers provided. Adjust the wing reasonably flush with the table. Do not tighten the bolts.

3. Align the top of the wing flush with the table

top directly above the front bolt, and tighten the front bolt. The front edge of the extension wing should also be flush with the front edge of the table.

4. 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.

5. 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 minimal.

6. Check flushness over the front bolt and re-

adjust if necessary.

7. Repeat Steps 3-4 for the other extension

wing.

The table and the wings represent a very heavy load. DO NOT over-exert yourself while lifting or moving the table and the wings – get assistance.

Keep clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

8. Now, check the alignment of the table and

both wings with a straightedge. The straightedge should run flat across both wings and the table top. If the straightedge contacts both wings and the table evenly, you are finished with this section. If the straightedge does not contact them evenly, continue to

Step 9.

9. If the extension wings tilt up or down at the

outside edges, remove the wings and shim

them with masking tape similar to Figure 9.

a. If the wings tilt down, stick layers of mask-

ing tape under each bolt near the bottom edge of the wing and retighten.

b. If the wing tilts up, stick layers of masking

tape above each bolt near the top edge of the wing and retighten. Allow the tape to extend above table surface and trim with a sharp knife after final assembly.

10. Replace the wings and check again.

NOTICE

The table insert must be flush with the top of the table or the workpiece will hit the edge of the table insert at the beginning of the cut.

One handwheel has been removed for shipping. To install, place the handwheel over the threads and screw the lock knob into the center. Next insert the handle into the handwheel and tighten

it as shown in Figure 14. Install the other handle

onto the other handwheel.

2. Ensure that all four setscrews are firmly in

contact with the table casting.

3. Using a 6mm hex wrench, raise or lower each of the four setscrews shown in Figure 15 until the insert is flush with the table top.

Use a straightedge to make sure the table insert is flush with the top of the table.

4. Now make sure the blade will not come into

contact with the table insert. Position the blade at 90°, then raise and lower the blade through its full range of motion. Also, rotate the blade, making sure that the blade never contacts any part of the table insert. Do the same with the blade in the 45° position. Wear leather gloves while rotating the blade to prevent being cut.

9. Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts

and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment of the motor pulley is required. Simply loosen the setscrew in the middle groove of the pulley, and slowly slide the pulley toward the end of the motor shaft. Once the V-belts are back in alignment, tighten the setscrew securely.

10. Recheck the guard alignment to the blade

and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tighten down all the bolts before use. If the blade guard is properly aligned, re-attach the table, making sure there is adequate blade clearance through all blade adjustments.

11. Adjust the blade to 45°. Raise and lower it

through the full range. Re-adjust the blade to 90°, then raise and lower it through the full range. There should be no contact between the blade, the base, the table insert, or any other part of the saw. If there is contact,

repeat steps 7-9.

Figure 22. Arbor bracket adjustment locations.

5. Recheck the splitter alignment to the blade

and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tighten all the bolts before use. If the blade guard is properly aligned, please skip ahead

to step 10; otherwise, continue with the next

step.

6. If the splitter is positioned to the left of the

blade, alignment cannot be achieved by washer placement. Adjustment of the front

support bracket is required. See Figure 21

for adjustment details. Loosen the (2) adjustment screws and move left or right.

7. If this adjustment does not allow enough

movement of the splitter, remove the table and wings, and set them to one side.

8. The arbor bracket and motor pulley needs

adjusting. Loosen the adjustment bolt shown

in Figure 22, and slowly slide the arbor

bracket towards the end of the shaft. Only move the arbor bracket a distance equal to the amount of misalignment between the blade and the splitter, or a little more. You can always adjust the splitter back to the left with washers. Tighten the adjustment bolt securely.

The table and wings represent a very heavy load. DO NOT overexert yourself while lifting or moving the table and wings – get assistance.

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

Blade Height

Blade Tilt

1. Set your blade angle at zero as shown on the

angle indicator on the front of the saw and raise the blade several inches above the table.

2. Place a machinist’s square flat on the table

and slide it alongside the blade. The square should contact the blade evenly from bottom to top. Make sure that a blade tooth does not obstruct the movement of the square.

3. Adjust the handwheel until the square is

flush with the blade. Loosen the tilt indicator arrow, set to zero, and retighten. Loosen and adjust the stop bolt on the left side of the front trunnion to allow a 90° stop point. See

Figure 23 for details.

4. Turn the blade angle handwheel until the

angle indicator points at the desired angle.

5. Tighten the handwheel locking knob.

6. Repeat Steps 1-6 for setting the blade to 45°

and adjust the 45° stop bolt on the right side of the front trunnion. Use the 45° side of a combo square or a bevel gauge set at 45°.

Figure 23. Geared trunnion.

When preparing to operate your table saw, you should adjust the blade height to approximately

⁄4" above the surface of the material you plan on

cutting. The handwheel at the front of the saw

adjusts the blade height. To adjust the blade

height:

1. Loosen the locking knob at the center of the

blade height handwheel.

2. Using a sample of the material you plan on

cutting as a gauge, turn the handwheel until the blade reaches its intended height.

3. Retighten the locking knob.

4. Recheck your blade height with the sample

material and re-adjust, if necessary.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire adjustment process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Table Mounting Locations

6. If the blade tip does not touch the end of the

adjustable square similar to the first measurement, then the table will need to be adjusted.

7. To adjust the table, loosen the four bolts in the table mounting locations (see Figure 25) and slightly tap the table. Repeat Steps 1-5

until satisfactory. Do not forget to tighten the table mounting bolts when finished.

8. Now check to see if the blade remains paral-

lel to the miter slot when tilted to 45°.

9. Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 1-5. If

the blade is still parallel to the miter slot, continue on to the “Miter Gauge” instructions. Otherwise, continue with the next step.

10. If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at

90° but not at 45°, the table will need to be shimmed with metal shim stock. The shims are placed under the table over each of the four table mounting bolts.

Miter Slot to Blade

Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot and the rip fence are adjusted parallel to the blade. If either of these are not exactly parallel, your cuts and your finished work will be lower in quality, but more important, this condition increases the risk of kickback. Take the time to adjust your table saw properly. A few minutes now will be time well spent.

1. Disconnect plug from power source.

2. Use an adjustable square to measure the

distance from the miter slot to a carbide tip

on the blade as shown in Figure 24. Make

sure that the face of the adjustable square is even along the miter slot.

3. With the end of the adjustable square just

touching the tip, lock the square in place. Now, mark the carbide tip with a magic marker where you made this measurement.

4. Rotate that tip to the other end of the table

insert.

5. Slide the adjustable square down to the

other end of the table insert, and compare the distance from the marked blade tip to the end of the adjustable square.

Figure 24. Adjusting blade to miter slot.

The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use extra care when handling the blade or working near it. Serious injury is possible.

G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -23-

Figure 26. Shim procedure diagram A.

Figure 27. Shim procedure diagram B.

11. Refer to Figures 26 and 27, for shim place-

ment. If the distance of A is shorter than B, shim(s) will need to be placed under corners #1 and #2. If the distance of B is shorter than A, shim(s) will need to be placed under corners #3 and #4. Very thin shim stock works well, just make sure they are all the same thickness, and you put an equal number under each of the two corners.

12. Tighten down one bolt a small amount and

then move on to each of the others, tightening each down the same amount. Continue to rotate through the bolts, tightening them a little each time until they are all secure.

13. Now recheck the blade to miter slot at 90° and 45° by repeating Steps 1-5. If the dis-

tance of A and B are equal, continue to the “Miter Gauge” instructions. If the distances

are still off, repeat Steps 9-12.

14. Once you feel you have the miter slot adjust-

ed to the blade, recheck all measurements and be sure the table mounting bolts are

secure. Repeat Step 10 in Section 4: Assembly, “Blade Guard/Splitter.” Also, if

you ever remove the table in the future, be sure to make note of shim placements and reassemble exactly how it came apart.

-24- G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw

Blade Alignment

The blade position can be adjusted slightly in case it contacts the table insert when raised or tilted. This adjustment can be made either by moving the whole trunnion assembly, or by just moving the arbor bracket. Try adjusting by moving the whole trunnion first, this is the easier of the two ways.

To adjust the blade position by moving the trunnion:

1. Disconnect plug from power source.

2. Remove the table and wings and set them to

one side.

3. Loosen the four trunnion mounting bolts as shown in Figure 28, and nudge to either the

left or the right depending on where the blade is hitting the saw.

The table and wings represent a very heavy load. DO NOT overexert yourself while lifting or moving the table and wings – get assistance.

Figure 28. Trunnion mounting bolts.

To adjust the blade position by moving the arbor bracket:

1. Disconnect plug from power source.

2. Remove the table and wings and set them to

one side.

3. Loosen the adjustment bolt shown in Figure

29.

4. To adjust the arbor bracket, loosen the

adjustment bolt. Slowly slide the arbor bracket towards the end of the shaft.

4. Reattach the table, making sure there is ade-

quate blade clearance through all blade adjustments. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tighten down all the bolts before use.

5. If the blade is still contacting the insert, repeat Steps 1-4. Check all other adjustments.

6. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments,

and adjust as necessary.

5. Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts

and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment of the motor pulley is required. Simply loosen the setscrew in the middle motor groove pulley and slowly slide the pulley towards the end of the motor shaft. Once the V-belts are back in alignment, tighten the setscrew securely.

6. Reattach the table, making sure there is ade-

quate blade clearance through all blade adjustments. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tighten down all the bolts before use.

7. If the blade is still contacting the insert, repeat Steps 1-6. Check all other adjust-

ments.

8. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments,

and adjust as necessary.

Rip Fence

The rip fence included with your Model G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10" Table Saw is designed to provide excellent ripping accuracy when properly adjusted. For complete adjustment procedures, refer to the manual that is included with the fence.

Miter Gauge

2. Adjust the miter body until there is no space

between the square and the blade. Tighten the lock knob.

3. With the stop link in the up position, loosen

the jam nut and adjust the stop screw until it

is seated against the stop link. See Figure

30 for part locations.

4. Now loosen the setscrew on the left front

side of the miter bar, adjust the pointer to 90° and tighten the setscrew.

5. To adjust to 45°, follow Steps 1-4 using an

adjustable square set to 45°.

6. After rotating the miter body from 45° to 90°

and back a few times, double-check your adjustments at both angles to assure that you have accurately set your miter gauge.

The miter bar can be adjusted so that it fits tighter in the miter slot. To do this, turn the adjustment

setscrew shown in Figure 30 clockwise. Turn the

adjustment setscrew in small increments at a time so you do not over-adjust the miter bar.

Pre-Run Check

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Before you begin to use your Model G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10" Table Saw, you should give it a thorough inspection. While making your inspection, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Are all the fasteners tight?

2. Is the blade mounted correctly?

3. Is the saw stable?

4. Is it wired properly?

5. Is your electrical system properly config-

ured?

6. Have you checked your workpiece for obvi-

ous defects?

7. Are the V-belts properly tensioned and the

pulleys properly aligned?

8. Is the guard assembly installed and func-

tional?

9. Have you checked the saw blade clearance

when it is adjusted to varying angles and depths?

10. Have you read all the warnings and direc-

tions regarding the operation of this machine?

Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during all operations on the shaper. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Always wear a dust mask when operating the table saw. Using this machine produces sawdust which may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.

NOTICE

The following section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this table saw. However, it is in no way comprehensive of every table saw application. There are many different jigs that can be built to increase safety, accuracy, and types of cuts. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your table saw.

G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -27-

Blade Selection

Choosing the correct blade for the job is essential for the safe and efficient use of your table saw. Ignoring this important step could result in damage to the saw and serious injury to the operator. Below are the most common saw blades and their uses.

1. Rip Blade (shown in Figure 31): Used for

cutting with the grain. Typically, 10" rip blades have between 20-40 teeth, a flat-top

ground profile (see Figure 32 for saw tooth

profiles) and large gullets to allow for large chip removal.

Figure 31. Ripping blade.

Test Run

1. Face the table saw and stand to the left of

the blade path.

2. With one finger on the START button and

one finger on the STOP button, turn the saw on. Be ready to turn the saw off in case of a mishap.

3. Watch and listen to the saw. Note whether

there are any unusual sounds or excessive vibrations.

4. If anything appears abnormal, immediately

turn off the saw, unplug it, and fix the problem. If a problem exists that is beyond the scope of this manual, call our service department.

5. If the saw is behaving normally, turn it off and

prepare to make a cut according to the instructions outlined in this section.

Figure 32. Various saw tooth cutting profiles.

-28- G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw

Figure 35. Plywood blade.

4. Plywood Blade: Used for cutting plywood or

veneers. A 10" plywood blade will have 4080 teeth, a steep alternate top bevel tooth

profile and very shallow gullet. See Figure

35.

3. Combination Blade: Used for cutting with

and across the grain. A compromise between a rip blade and a cross-cut blade, a 10" combination blade will typically have between 40-50 teeth, an alternate top bevel and flat or alternate top bevel and raker tooth profile. The teeth are arranged in groups of five. The gullets are small and shallow within the groups of five teeth, similar to a cross-cut blade; then large and deep between the groups, like a ripping blade.

See Figure 34.

Figure 34. Combination blade.

2. Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across

the grain. 10" cross-cut blades have between 60-80 teeth, alternate top bevel or steep alternate top bevel tooth profiles, small

hook angle and a shallow gullet. See Figure

33.

Figure 33. Cross-cutting blade.

G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -29-

Figure 36. Cross-cut operation.

Crosscutting

Crosscutting means cutting across the grain of the wood. In wood products without grain (i.e. MDF, particleboard) crosscutting simply means cutting across the width of the stock.

Crosscuts are made with the miter gauge. There are two miter gauge slots in the table top. Use the one that works best for the piece being crosscut.

To make a crosscut using the miter gauge:

1. Inspect the board for soundness. You do not

necessarily need a square edge to crosscut with accuracy.

5. Thin-kerf: Most types of saw blades are

available in a thin-kerf style. Designed primarily to minimize stock waste, thin-kerf blades be used in conjunction with a blade

stabilizer to reduce blade wobble. Note:

Most blade guards/splitters are thicker than most thin-kerf blades. Make sure that the stock will pass by the guard/splitter before beginning a cut.

6. Dado Blades: There are two types of dado

blades: stack and wobble. Stack dadoes are expensive and time consuming to set up but leave a clean and smooth finish. Stack dadoes are used for fine furniture and cabinet making. Wobble dadoes are inexpensive and easy to set up, but leave a rough finish.

7. Moulding Heads: A moulding head is a cut-

terhead that attaches to the arbor and holds individual moulding knives. We do not recommend their use. They are very dangerous and required training beyond the scope of this manual.

This section on blade selection is by no means comprehensive. Always follow the saw blade manufacturer's recommendations to assure safe and efficient operation of your table saw.

Small cutoff pieces can contact the moving blade and be thrown back toward the operator. Always use the least amount of clearance between the table insert and the blade to reduce the risk of injury from these pieces. Never attempt to grab these pieces while the table saw is turned on. Your hand may come into contact with the blade. Turn the table saw off and safely remove these pieces AFTER the blade has come to a complete stop or use a long scrap piece of wood to carefully move them away from the spinning blade.

2. Inspect the miter gauge. Is it properly set and

tight? Move the rip fence completely out of the way.

3. Turn on the saw and allow it to come to full

speed.

4. Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of

the miter gauge and ease it into the blade

(See Figure 36) and through the workpiece.

5. Turn off the saw and allow the blade to come

to a full stop.

-30- G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw

Ripping

Ripping means to cut with the grain of the wood. In other materials such as MDF or plywood, rip-

ping simply means to cut lengthwise. To rip a

board:

1. Inspect the board for soundness. You will

need a straightedge to rip with accuracy. Your workpiece may need to be jointed flat before attempting to cut on the table saw.

2. Set the rip fence to the desired distance from the blade. IF YOU ARE MAKING NARROW CUTS, USE A PUSH-STICK. Serious injury

can occur if you put your hands close to the blade. A push-stick pattern has been includ-

ed in this manual on Page 45, or you can

purchase the G3445 or G1411 push stick from the Grizzly catalog. Use them to hold the workpiece against the table and fence, and push the workpiece fully past the blade. When a small width is to be ripped and a push-stick cannot be safely put between the blade and rip fence, rip a larger piece to obtain the desired piece.

3. Turn on the saw and allow it to reach full

speed. Place the trued edge of the board against the rip fence. Feed the workpiece slowly and evenly into the blade and through the workpiece. Do not stand behind the

board as shown in Figure 37.

Figure 37. Do not stand directly behind wood!

Stand out of the line of potential kickback. Hold the workpiece firmly against the fence and table. Do not allow your fingers to get close to the blade! Do not reach over the blade to off-load the workpiece.

Never attempt to rip a board that does not have one perfectly straight edge on it. Always run the straight edge of the board against the rip fence. Failure to do this could result in kickback and serious personal injury.

G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -31-

Always use push sticks, featherboards, push paddles and other safety accessories whenever possible to increase safety and control during operations which require the blade guard and splitter to be removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete.

Proper dado operations will differ depending on the blade system you choose. Consult the instructions included with your dado blades for directions regarding attachment and adjustment.

To use a dado blade:

1. Ensure that the saw is switched off and dis-

connected from its power source.

2. Remove the table insert, splitter guard, and

regular saw blade.

3. Attach and adjust the dado blade system as

recommended in the dado blade’s instructions.

4. Install the dado table insert.

5. Raise the blade system up to the desired

depth of the dado. Make sure the dado blade will not cut through the work piece.

6. If dadoing along the length of your work-

piece, adjust the distance between the fence and the inside edge of the blade to suit your needs. When cutting across the wood grain, use the miter gauge as a guide while dado-

ing. Remember: never use the fence as a

stop in conjunction with your miter gauge.

7. Reconnect the saw to the power source.

8. Using a scrap as a test piece, switch on the

saw and take a pass over the dado blade.

9. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your fin-

ish stock.

10. Re-install the blade guard.

Dado Operations

In addition to its ability to rip and crosscut lumber, the table saw is also an invaluable tool for creating a variety of dadoes. These non-through cuts can be created with a regular saw blade or with specially-designed stacking or wobbling dado

blades. See Figure 38.

Figure 38. Optional dado blade system.

Never allow hands or arms to be above or behind the saw blade. Should kickback occur, the hands and arms can be pulled into the saw blade. Serious injury will result.

Never perform a through cut operation with a dado blade. A dado blade was designed to make non-through cuts only. Failure to follow these directions could result in serious injury will result.

Dado operations present very real hazards requiring proper procedures to avoid serious injury. The chance of kickback is always greater when dado blades are used so extra precautions must be used. Any movement of the stock 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.

-32- G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw

Always use push sticks, featherboards, push paddles and other safety accessories whenever possible to increase safety and control during operations which require that the blade guard and splitter must be removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete.

Dadoing operations can also be accomplished

using a conventional saw blade. To create a sin-

gle-blade dado:

1. Clearly mark the width of the dado cut on

your workpiece. Include marks on the edge of your workpiece so you can clearly identify your intended cut while the material is laying flat on the saw table.

2. Set the blade height to the depth of cut you

wish to create.

3. If the dado runs the length of the material,

adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with

the inside of your dado channel. See Figure

39.

4. Turn on your saw and make the first cut.

Figure 39. Single-blade dado cut.

Figure 40. Sacrificial fence.

5. Turn off the saw and re-adjust the fence so

the blade is aligned with the other edge of the intended dado channel. Be sure to keep the cuts within your marks; otherwise, your dado will be too large.

6. Turn on the saw and make a second cut.

7. Move toward the center of the dado with your

subsequent cuts until the dado is complete.

8. Re-install the blade guard.

In addition to its ability to create a variety of dadoes, this table saw can be used to cut Lshaped rabbets. These cuts can be created with a regular saw blade or with specially-designed stacking or wobbling dado blades like the one

shown in Figure 38.

Proper rabbet operation will differ depending on the blade system you choose. Consult the instructions included with your dado blades for directions regarding attachment and adjustment.

To use a dado blade for rabbeting operations:

1. Rabbet cutting on the edge of a piece of

stock requires the use of a sacrificial fence

attachment. See Figure 40. The sacrificial

fence can be made from a piece of wood that is as long as the metal fence and

⁄4" thick. Once the sacrificial fence has been cut, attach it to the metal fence with screws or clamps, making sure they are all secure and tight.

Instructions on using moulding heads have been intentionally left out. They are very dangerous when not used properly. Considerable skill and training beyond the scope of this manual are required to safely operate a moulding head. Serious personal injury could result if this caution is not followed.

Rabbeting operations can also be accomplished

using a conventional saw blade. To create a sin-

gle-blade rabbet:

1. Clearly mark the width of the rabbet cut on

your workpiece. Include marks on the edge of your workpiece so you can clearly identify your intended cut while the material is laying flat on the saw table.

2. Set the blade height to the depth of cut you

wish to create.

3. If the rabbet runs the length of the material,

adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with the inside of your rabbet channel.

4. Turn on your saw and make the first cut.

5. Turn off the saw and re-adjust the fence so

that the next cut will remove another portion of the wood stock between the inside edge of the rabbet and the edge of the wood.

6. Turn on the saw and make a second cut.

7. Continue to re-adjust the blade and cut until

the entire rabbet is made.

8. Re-install the blade guard.

2. Ensure that the saw is switched off and dis-

connected from its power source.

3. Remove the table insert, splitter guard and

the regular saw blade from the arbor.

4. Attach and adjust the dado blade system as

recommended in the dado blade’s instructions. Raise the blade system according to your needs. Make sure it will not cut through the workpiece.

5. If rabbeting along the length of your work-

piece, adjust the distance between the fence and the outside edge of the blade to suit your

needs. See Figure 41. When cutting across

the wood grain, use the miter gauge as a

guide while rabbeting. Remember: never

use the fence as a stop in conjunction with your miter gauge.

6. Using a scrap as a test piece, switch on the

saw and take a pass over the dado blade.

7. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your fin-

ish stock.

8. Re-install the blade guard.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

V-Belt

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belts must be in good condition and operate under the proper tension. When replacing V-belts, replace all three at the same time —even if they do not all appear worn.

Belt tension should be checked at least every 3 months; more often if using the table saw intensively.

The V-belts are accessed through the cavity on the right side of the saw. They link the arbor and

motor pulleys. To check V-belt tension:

1. With moderate pressure, push the center of

each V-belt.

2. Note the amount of deflection. Deflection

should be approximately

⁄2", similar to

Figure 42.

Figure 42. Belt deflection.

Tables

The nonpainted surfaces on the Model G1023SL/G1023SLX should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the machine clean after every use ensures that wood dust is not allowed to trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of products like SLIPIT

. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Boeshield T-9™.

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G1023SL/G1023SLX will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your

machine each time you use it. Check for the fol-

lowing conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

1. Guard alignment and operation.

2. Worn switch.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Damaged V-belt.

5. Loose mounting bolts.

6. Inspect blades for damage.

7. Any other condition that could hamper the

safe operation of this machine.

General

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance or repairs. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -35-

Lubricate the areas indicated below every 12 months.

1. Blade angling trunnions. These should be

lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.

2. Blade height trunnion. This should also be

lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.

3. The two (2) worm gears should be lubricat-

ed with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

These points can be reached by removing the table. Check all adjustments when finished lubricating.

Lubrication

To adjust V-belt tension:

1. Loosen the motor mount bolt.

2. Shift the motor up or down to increase or

decrease the V-belt tension. Tighten the motor mount bolt.

3. Check the V-belt tension again. Ensure that

the motor pulley and arbor pulley are lined up.

To replace the V-belts:

1. Remove the blade.

2. Adjust the arbor so it is up all the way and in

the 90° position.

3. Place a board under the motor and loosen

the motor mount bolt. Slowly lower the arbor until the motor rests on the board, allowing the belts to be loose on the pulleys.

4. Pull off the old V-belts and replace them with

new ones. Have the number from the belt ready when calling the service department for replacements.

5. Raise the arbor and remove the board to

adjust the V-belt tension.

6. Tighten the motor mount bolt.

Keep clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire maintenance process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
