Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws

1. THRU-SAWING: Use blade guard, splitter,

and anti-kickback fingers on all thru-saw-

ing operations. See Page 12 for the defin-

ition of thru-sawing.

2. KICKBACK: Use anti-kickback devices

during ALL cutting operations. If you do not have a complete understanding of how kickback occurs, or how to prevent it, Do

not operate this table saw. See Page 12

for the definition of kickback.

3. DANGEROUS REACHING: Do not reach

behind or over the saw blade with either hand while the saw is running.

4. PUSHSTICK: Use a push stick when rip-

ping narrow stock.

5. FREE-HAND CUTTING: The fence or the

miter gauge must support the workpiece during all cutting operations.

6. BODY POSITION WHEN CUTTING: Do

not stand or have any part of your body inline with the path of the saw blade.

7. WORKPIECE CONTROL: Hold the work-

piece firmly against the miter gauge or fence and hold the workpiece firmly against the table.

8. CROSSCUTTING: Move the rip fence out

of the way when crosscutting.

9. MITER GAUGE/RIP FENCE: Never use

the miter gauge and rip fence at the same time.

10. STALLED BLADE: Never attempt to free a

stalled saw blade without first turning the saw off.

11. CUTOFF TABLES: Use adequate support

to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.

12. HAND SAFETY: Avoid awkward cutting

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

13. SAW BLADE: Lower the saw blade below

the table when not in use.

14. DAMAGED SAW BLADE: Never use a

damaged saw blade or one that has been dropped.

15. DADO CUTTING: There is a high degree

of risk involved with any dado operation.

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.

Unfamiliarity with this manual could result in serious personal injury. Become familiar with the contents of this manual, including all the safety warnings.

G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 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 table. At the same time, the push stick keeps the operator’s hand safely away from the

rotation of the saw blade as shown in Figure 1. See the template on Page 57 of the manual for

construction details, or purchase one from the Grizzly catalog or website.

Safety Accessories

Not using safety accessories could cause serious personal injury. Learn how to correctly use each safety accessory.

Figure 1. Push Stick.

Push Stick

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 forced into the blade during the kickback.

The following can help minimize kickbacks:

• Use your blade guard and splitter.

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

• Inspect splitter for alignment between it and your blade.

• Never use the fence as a guide for crosscutting.

• Never attempt freehand cuts.

• Use a push stick or featherboard to maintain control of your workpiece.

• Feed cuts through to completion.

• Stand to the side when ripping.

• Ensure your fence and 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.

Failure to understand how and why kickback occurs could cause serious personal injury. DO NOT operate this table saw if you do not have a clear understanding of kickback, and how it occurs.

Avoiding Kickback

-6- G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw

Figure 2. Zero Clearance Table Inserts.

Zero Clearance Table Inserts

Ideal for use when ripping thin strips or making bevel cuts, these prevent tearout and jammed blades by supporting material close to the blade.

Use the standard table insert as a template when creating additional inserts from wood or plywood. Slots 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.

We also carry a wide selection of table inserts

(Figure 2) in the Grizzly catalog or website. Be

sure to hold 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.

Push Paddles

Push paddles provide added leverage and support when ripping or crosscutting wide work-

pieces as shown in Figure 3. We offer a number

of push paddles in the Grizzly catalog.

Featherboards

Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards provide an added degree of protection against kick-

back as shown in Figure 4. To make a feather-

board, 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. We also offer a num-

ber of featherboards in the Grizzly catalog.

SECTION 4: MACHINE FEATURES

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. It is important that you read and become familiar with them 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 the 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 the

workpiece against the rip fence or table during a cutting operation. The featherboard also allows the operator to keep his/her hands at a safe distance away from the saw blade while cutting the workpiece.

Terms & Definitions

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap made by a saw

blade.

Kickback: A condition in which the wood is

thrown back towards 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 that accepts interchangeable moulding

knives for profile cutting. We DO NOT recom-

mend the use of moulding head cutters.

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-Thru Cut: A sawing operation that requires

the removal of the blade guard and splitter. Dado and rabbet cuts are considered NonThru 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-thru 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.

G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw -13-

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,

parallelness, or consistency of a surface(s).

Thru-Sawing: A sawing operation where 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.

Clean Up Site Considerations

Unsupervised children and visitors entering a shop could receive serious personal injury. Ensure child and visitors safety by keeping all entrances to the shop locked at all times. DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in the shop at any time.

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this waxy oil with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some

parts may need to be removed. The machine

will operate best when the waxy oil is removed from all moving and sliding parts.

Chlorine-based cleaners and solvents will damage the painted surfaces of the machine. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Gasoline or petroleum products used to clean the machinery could explode causing serious personal injury. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery.

Smoking near solvents could ignite an explosion or fire causing serious injury. DO NOT smoke while using solvents.

Lack of ventilation while using solvents could cause serious personal health risks, fire, or environmental hazards. Always work in a well ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation of dangerous fumes. Supply the work area with a constant supply of fresh air using a fan.

Floor Load

The Model G1023Z Series Table Saws are a heavy load with a medium footprint. Most commercial or home shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the machine. Reinforce the floor if you question its ability to support the weight.

Working Clearance

Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands or work tables. Also, consider the relative position of each machine to one another for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation and keep dust collection hoses off the floor and out of the way.

Lighting

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Be sure to follow local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting or circuits.

-18- G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a high quality

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

wrench.

Extension WingsBeginning Assembly

To attach the extension wings to the saw:

1. Attach the left wing to the table using the (3)

⁄8"-16 x 11⁄4" Hex Bolts and 3⁄8" Flat Washers provided. Adjust the wing reasonably flush with the table and do not tighten the bolts completely at this time.

2. Attach the right wing to the table using the

(3)

⁄8"-16 x 11⁄4" Hex Bolts and 3⁄8" Flat Washers provided. Adjust the wing reasonably flush with the table and do not tighten the bolts completely at this time.

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

top directly above the front bolts and flush with the front edge of the table. Tighten the front bolts.

4. Raise or lower the rear of the extension

wings until the middle of the wings are flush with the table top. Tighten the middle bolts.

5. Raise or lower the rear of the wings until the

wings and table are flush. Tighten the rear bolts.

6. Re-check the flushness of the wings against

the table above each bolt. Re-adjust if necessary.

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.

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

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

Some metal parts may have sharp edges on them after they are formed. Please examine the edges of all metal parts before handling them. Failure to do so could result in injury.

7. 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.

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

outside edges, remove the wings and shim

them with masking tape as shown in Figure

10.

A)If a wing tilts down, stick layers of mask-

ing tape along the bottom edge of the table and retighten.

B)If a wing tilts up, stick layers of masking

tape along the top edge of the wing and

retighten. Allow the tape to extend above

table surface and trim the extended tape with a sharp knife after final assembly.

Blade Selection

Choosing the correct blade for the job is essential for the safe and efficient use of your table saw.

Rip Blade: Used for cutting with the grain. 10" rip blades have between 20-40 teeth (Figure 25), flat-top ground tooth profile (Figure 30) and large

gullets to allow for large chip removal.

Figure 25. Ripping blade.

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

(Figure 27), an alternate top bevel and flat or alternate top bevel (Figure 30) 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.

Figure 27. Combination blade.

Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across the

grain. 10" cross-cut blades have between 60-80

teeth (Figure 26), alternate top bevel or steep alternate top bevel tooth profiles (Figure 30),

small hook angle and a shallow gullet.

Figure 26. Crosscutting blade.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Wear safety glasses. a dust mask, and hearing protection while the machine is running. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.

G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw -29-

Figure 28. Plywood blade.

Plywood Blade: Used for cutting plywood or

veneers. 10" plywood blades have 40-80 teeth

(Figure 28), a steep alternate top bevel tooth pro- file (Figure 30) and very shallow gullet.

Thin-kerf: Designed for saws with smaller

motors and for reducing material waste, thin-kerf blades are thinner than standard blades. Performance and accuracy can be maintained by the use of blade stabilizers.

Dado Blades: There are two types of dado

blades: stacked and wobble.

• Stacked Dado Blade—These dedicated dado cutting blades consist of a set of up to 8 individual blades. Multiple cutters are "stacked" between two outside blades. The width of the dado is determined by the combination of cutters that are “stacked” together. The dado is cut in a single pass leaving a smooth and square channel in the face of the workpiece as shown

on Page 32. Stacked dado blades are the most

expensive option but are worth considering if your projects require a lot of visible dado cuts. A typical stacked dado blade is shown in

Figure 29.

• Wobble Dado Blade—Also a dedicated dado blade, a wobble blade usually consists of a single blade that is tilted on the arbor shaft while it is spinning. The channel is cut in the face of the workpiece as the blade passes through its preadjusted width of travel. Wobble blades are an inexpensive option when visibly pleasing channels are not a concern.

Moulding Heads: A moulding head is a cutter-

head that attaches to the arbor and holds individual moulding knives. They should only be used by professional woodworkers with 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 ensure safe and efficient operation of your table saw.

Some blade guards/splitters are thicker than thin-kerf blades. DO NOT use the thinkerf blade if this is the case or serious personal injury could result.

-30- G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw

Crosscutting

To make a 90˚ crosscut using the miter gauge:

1. Adjust the miter gauge to the 90˚ position.

2. Adjust the fence completely away from the

cutting operation.

3. Position the miter gauge in one of the two

miter slots.

4. Adjust the blade height so the highest saw

tooth protrudes approximately

⁄4" above the

workpiece.

5. Hold the workpiece against the miter gauge

and line up the cut with the blade.

A crosscut is a cut against the grain direction of the workpiece. Crosscutting man-made wood products like plywood is performed by cutting parallel to the shortest side.

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

speed.

7. Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of

the miter gauge and ease it into the blade as

shown in Figure 31.

Figure 31. Cross-cut operation.

Keep the blade guard in the down position at all times. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.

Turn off the saw and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the cut-off piece. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury

G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw -31-

Ripping

To make a rip cut:

1. Set the fence to the desired width of cut on

the fence rail scale.

2. Adjust the blade height so the highest saw

tooth protrudes approximately 1⁄4" above the workpiece.

3. Joint one long edge of the workpiece on a

jointer.

4. Set up any safety devices such as feather-

boards or other anti-kickback devices.

5. With the saw disconnected from the power source, rotate the blade to make

sure it does not come into contact with any of the safety devices.

6. Plug the saw into the power source, and turn

on the saw and allow it to come to full speed.

7. The jointed edge of the workpiece must be

slide against the fence during the cutting operation.

A rip cut is a cut with the grain direction of the workpiece. Ripping man-made wood products like plywood is performed by cutting parallel to the longest side.

8. Using a push stick, feed the workpiece through the saw blade as shown in Figure 32, until the workpiece is completely past the saw 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.

Stand to the left of the blade line-of-cut when ripping a board. Serious personal injury could occur if kickback results.

Keep the blade guard in the down position at all times. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.

Dado Cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes can be cut using either a dado blade

(Figure 57) or a standard saw blade.

To use a stacked or wobble dado blade:

1. Disconnect the machine from the 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 manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Install the dado table insert.

5. Raise the dado blade up to the desired depth

of cut (depth of dado channel desired).

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

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 care must be taken. 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.

6. If dadoing along the long length of your work-

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

needs as shown in Figure 33.

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. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.

Never allow hands or arms to be above or behind the saw blade. Should kickback occur, the hands and arms could be pulled into the saw blade causing serious personal injury.

Figure 33. Single-blade dado cut.

7. Reconnect the saw to the power source.

8. With one finger ready to push the OFF but-

ton, turn the saw on. The blade should run smooth with no vibrations or wobbling.

9. When the blade has reached full speed, per-

form a test cut with a scrap piece of wood.

G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw -33-

Using a standard saw blade:

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. Raise the blade up to the desired depth of

cut (depth of dado channel desired).

3. If dadoing along the long length of your work-

piece, adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with the inside of your dado channel

as shown in Figure 34.

Figure 34. Single-blade dado cut.

Never allow hands or arms to be above or behind the saw blade. Should kickback occur, the hands and arms could be pulled into the saw blade causing serious personal injury.

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

ish stock.

ALWAYS replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.

4. Turn on the saw and allow the blade to reach

full speed.

5. Perform a test cut on a scrap piece of wood.

Determine if the depth of cut is correct.

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

ish stock.

Always turn the saw off and wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before adjusting the fence. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.

-34- G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw

7. 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, the dado will be too big.

8. Continue making cuts toward the center of

the dado with your subsequent cuts until the dado is complete.

Rabbet Cutting

Always replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.

To attach a sacrificial fence:

Rabbet cutting with a dado blade requires the use of a sacrificial fence attachment as shown in

Figure 35.

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is a straight groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut using either a dado blade

(Figure 29) or a standard saw blade.

Rabbet 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 care must be taken. 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.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G1023Z Series Table Saw will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Damaged V-belt.

5. Any other condition that could hamper the

safe operation of this machine.

6. Inspect blades for damage.

7. Guard alignment and operation.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance on the table saw. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery causing serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.

Projectiles thrown from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses during maintenance.

G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw -39-

V-Belt

The sealed ball bearings in the motor and throughout the Model G1023Z Series require no maintenance during their lifetime. When they do wear out, replacements can be obtained through the Grizzly Parts Department.

Lubricate the areas indicated below every 12 months:

BLADE ANGLING TRUNNION—The front and back trunnions each have a semi-circle groove that needs to be lubricated with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

BLADE HEIGHT TRUNNION—The blade height trunnion pivots on a steel rod. This should be lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.

WORM GEARS—These should be lubricated with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

Lubrication Table

The table is made from cast iron. If preventative measures are not taken, the table surface will rust. Regularly wipe sawdust from the table to prevent rust causing moisture from becoming trapped against the table. Regular applications of products like SLIPIT

will prevent rust as the saw is used on a daily basis. For long term storage, use products such as Boeshield T-9

. Both of these products

are available in the Grizzly catalog.

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. Disconnect the machine from the power source!

2. With moderate pressure, push the center of

each V-belt.

3. Note the amount of deflection. Deflection

should be approximately

⁄2", similar to

Figure 39.

-40- G1023Z Series Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw

Figure 39. V-belt deflection.

To adjust V-belt tension:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source!

2. Loosen the motor mount bolt.

3. Shift the motor up or down to increase or

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

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

the motor pulley and arbor pulley are lined up.

To replace the V-belts:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source!

2. Remove the blade.

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

the 90° position.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Raise the arbor and remove the board to

adjust the V-belt tension.

45˚ & 90˚ Stops

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 40 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 40. Geared trunnion.

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.

Figure 42. Table mounting bolt holes.

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 42) 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 between the table and cabinet over each of the four table mounting bolts.

Blade Parallelism

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 the machine from the 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 41. 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.

Table Mount Holes

Use caution and remain alert when working around the saw blade. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

11. Refer to Figures 43 & 44, 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 12 on Page 25. If the

table is removed in the future, be sure to reinstall the shims the same way they came off.

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 the machine from the power source!

2. Remove the table and wings and set them to

one side. Be sure to note the position of the table shims. Replace them to their original position before re-attaching the table.

3. Loosen the four trunnion mounting bolts as shown in Figure 45, and nudge to either the

left or 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 45. Trunnion mounting bolts.

To adjust the blade position by moving the arbor bracket:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source!

2. Remove the table and wings and set them to

one side. Be sure to note the position of the table shims. Replace them to their original position before re-attaching the table.

3. Loosen the bracket lock bolt shown in Figure 46.

4. 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.

Figure 46. Adjusting arbor bracket.

NOTICE

If you make the adjustment described in this section, check and adjust the blade splitter to make sure it aligns with the blade.

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. Re-attach the table, making sure there is

adequate 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.
