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.
