Assembly - Grizzly G0853 Owner's Manual

Assembly

This machine must be fully assembled before it
can be operated. Before beginning the assembly
process, refer to Needed for Setup and gather
all listed items.
The sliding table weighs nearly 400 pounds. It
must be lifted and carefully positioned onto the
machine frame during assembly. If you are using
a forklift to lift and place it, you'll need to use lifting
slings around the table to prevent scratching the
aluminum surface.
If you are not able to use the described forklift
method, the sliding table can be lifted into place
by four strong people—with one lifting from each
corner.
The only other part of the assembly that requires
additional help is installation of the extension
tables and blade guard arm. It takes approxi-
mately two hours to assemble the saw and make
the required adjustments to prepare the saw for
the test run.
To assemble sliding table saw:
1. Turn sliding table upside down and identify
(3) mounting plates, as shown in Figure 19.

2. Raise sliding table over machine frame (see

mounting holes (see Figure 20B), and lower
sliding table onto frame.
