Assembly - Grizzly G1023RLX Owner's Manual

Assembly

Assembly steps are the same for all models
except where noted. Assembly consists of install-
ing the left extension wing, ON/OFF switch, motor
cover, dust port, rails, saw blade, table insert,
blade guard, fence scale, and cursor.
Model G1023RL Only: Mount the right cast iron
wing after installing the left wing.
Model G1023RLW/RLWX/RLX Only: Mount the
router table extension (RLW/RLWX) or extension
table (RLX) to the table after the fence rails are
installed. Refer to the instructions on Page 24 for
mounting the router guard and a router.
To assemble your machine:
1.
Remove the shipping crate, the bolts that
secure the cabinet to the shipping pallet, and
the shipping brackets from the cabinet. Then
move the cabinet off of the pallet.
— If you plan to mount your saw on a mobile
base, we recommend doing so now.
Assemble the mobile base as detailed in
the instructions that came with your base.
With the help of another person, walk the
cabinet off of the pallet and place it in the
mobile base. Or, if you have a forklift,
place a lifting strap around each side of
the main table, as shown in Figure 12.
(You must use lifting straps, each with a
minimum capacity of 1000 lbs.) Lift the
cabinet enough to clear the mobile base,
then place it in the mobile base.

2. Remove the motor brace shown in Figure 13
then. The brace is installed to prevent ship-
ping damage.

3.
Inspect the left extension wing and main table
mating surfaces for burrs or foreign materials
that may inhibit assembly. The mating edges
of the wing and table must be clean, smooth,
and flat. Use a wire brush or file to prepare
the edges so the wing mounts properly to the
main table.
4.
Remove the three bolts and washers from the
end of the main table.
Get lifting help during the
next step! The extension
wings are heavy and can
be difficult for one per-
son to install.
5.
Have another person hold the left exten-
sion wing in place, then mount it to the main
table with the three bolts and washers you
removed in Step 4.
6.
Use a straightedge as a gauge and adjust
the extension wing up/down until it is flush
with the main table above each bolt, then
completely tighten all of the bolts.
