Safety Instructions for Sliding Table Saws SAFETY ACCESSORIES. RIP FENCE USAGE. Through-sawing oper- ations are those when the blade cuts com- pletely through the workpiece. 8. STALLED BLADE. 2. KICKBACK. Until you have a 9. AWKWARD OPERATIONS. clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw! 3.
Statistics prove that most common acci- dents 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 addi- tion to the danger of the operator or oth- ers in the area being struck by the flying stock, the operator’s hands can be pulled into the blade during the kickback.

Main Blade Figure 30 . Note: Wear gloves to protect your hands Components and Hardware Needed: when installing or removing blades. To install the blade: Figure 29 Figure 30. Figure 30. Figure 31 Figure 29. Note: The arbor nut has left hand threads and loosens by turning clockwise.
Figure 33 Note: For a quick gauge, use the 3mm hex wrench to find the correct spacing between the blade and the riving knife, as shown in Figure 32. Figure 33. Figure 32. Figure 34 Note: The arbor nut has right-hand threads and tightens by turning clockwise.
Aligning Blades on this page To align the blades and riving knife: Figure 35 Riving Knife Alignment To adjust the riving knife: Disconnect the saw from the power source! Figure Figure 35. Step 4 Figure 36 Step 5 Figure 36. Figure 37.
Steps 3-7 Figure 38 Step 6 Note: For a quick gauge, use the 3mm hex wrench to find the correct spacing between the blade and the riving knife, as shown in Figure 40. Figure 38. Figure 40. Figure 39 Figure 39.

Power Cord Test Run SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS Before starting the saw, make sure you Components and Hardware Needed: have performed the preceding assembly and adjustment instructions, and you have read through the rest of the manual and To connect the saw to the power source: are familiar with the various functions and safety issues associated with this machine.
WE STRONGLY REC- OMMEND that you read books, trade maga- zines, or get formal training before begin- ning any projects. Regardless of the con- tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.
Changing Blades To change the blades: Figure 49. Disconnect the saw from the power Note: Wear gloves to protect your hands source! when installing or removing blades. Figure 48 Figure 49. Note: For a quick gauge, use the 3mm hex wrench to find the correct spacing between the blade and the riving knife.
Rip Cutting Note: The scale will not be accurate if the Figure 50 protection block has been cut. Figure Figure 50 Figure Figure 52 Note: DO NOT use the edge shoe for rip- ping warped or twisted boards. The tension that causes warps and twists can cause the board to spring free from the edge shoe and hold down during a cut.
Page 38
Rip cutting using traditional table saw techniques: Figure 55 Note: This technique allows the finished cut- Figure 53 off piece to “fall” away from the blade when the cutting operation is complete; reducing the possibility of kickback. Figure 53. Figure 55. Figure 54 Figure 56 Figure 56.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE Cleaning Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury. Schedule Unpainted Cast Iron Daily Check: Weekly Maintenance: SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES Page 40 Monthly Check: Note: Adjust V-belt tension after the initial 10 hours of operation.
SECTION 7: SERVICE Replacing Belts Always disconnect power to the machine before performing ser- vice adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. To change the main blade arbor V-belt: About Service Disconnect the saw from the power source! Figure 80 Figure 80.
Figure Figure 81 Figure 82. Figure 81. Note: The motor V-belts should always be replaced as a matched set to ensure maxi- mum belt longevity and power transmission. Note: Re-tension the new V-belts after the initial 10 hours of use. To change the scoring blade arbor flat belt: Disconnect the saw from the power source!
