SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size must be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating is listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace damaged extension cords.
Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws 1. 2. THRU-SAWING: Use blade guard, splitter, and anti-kickback fingers on all thru-sawing operations. See Page 12 for the definition of thru-sawing. 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. 8. CROSSCUTTING: Move the rip fence out of the way when crosscutting. 9.
Avoiding Kickback Safety Accessories 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. Not using safety accessories could cause serious personal injury. Learn how to correctly use each safety accessory. Statistics prove that most common accidents among table saw users can be linked to kickback.
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. Push Paddles Push paddles provide added leverage and support when ripping or crosscutting wide workpieces as shown in Figure 3. We offer a number of push paddles in the Grizzly catalog. Use the standard table insert as a template when creating additional inserts from wood or plywood.

Clean Up Site Considerations 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.
Beginning Assembly Extension Wings 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. ! To attach the extension wings to the saw: Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance or assembly. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Wear safety glasses during the entire assembly process.
7. 8. 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. 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.
Dust Hood Motor Cover The Model G1023Z Series comes with a 4" dust hood and a cleanout door. The Model G1023Z Series motor cover is designed to increase the efficiency of dust collection. The motor cover is packaged amd shipped in a separate box. It is held shut by a 1⁄4"-20 x 1⁄2" knob bolt as shown in Figure 12a. To mount the dust hood and cleanout door: 1. Mount the cleanout door into the square hole on the lower left side of the saw base. 2.
Motor Brace A red motor brace has been installed for shipping purposes. Remove this brace before continuing with assembly. The bolts that secure the brace should be screwed back in at the locations from which they came. Blade Guard Mounting Shaft Figure 13. Attaching the 5⁄8"-18 blade guard mounting shaft. Motor Brace Installed For Shipping Only! Figure 12b. Motor brace. Guard Bracket Blade Guard Mounting Bracket Figure 14.
Handwheel One handwheel has been removed for shipping. To install, place the handwheel over the threads and screw the lock knob into the center. Next insert the handle into the handwheel and tighten it as shown in Figure 15. Install the other handle onto the other handwheel. 3. Set the table insert into the recessed area on the table surface. 4. Ensure that all four table insert setscrews (Figure 16) are firmly in contact with the table casting. 5.
Saw Blade Blade Guard/Splitter To install a saw blade: To install a blade guard/splitter: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 2. The arbor nut has left-hand threads. Loosen the arbor nut clockwise and remove the outside flange from the arbor. Remove and discard the 3⁄4'' diameter spacer on the arbor shaft. 2. Slip the blade guard/splitter over the mounting bolts as shown in Figure 18.
Use caution and remain alert when working around the saw blade. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. 4. Next, set a straightedge against the face of the saw blade and the blade splitter as shown in Figure 20. If the blade splitter is properly aligned, please skip ahead to Page 26; otherwise, continue with the next step. ! Add washers here to move back of splitter to the left. Splitter Add washers here to move front of splitter to the left. Blade Figure 21.
Blade Adjustment Bolt 6. Recheck the splitter alignment to the blade and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tighten all the bolts before use. If the blade guard is properly aligned, please skip ahead to Step 13; otherwise, continue with the next step. 7. If the splitter is positioned to the left of the blade, alignment cannot be achieved by washer placement. Adjustment of the front support bracket is required. See Figure 21 for adjustment details.
Miter Gauge 7. To adjust to 45˚, follow Steps 1-6 while using an adjustable square. 8. The miter gauge for the Model G1023Z Series has two setscrews in the miter bar which can be set to remove any loose movement between the miter bar and the T-slot. After rotating the miter body from 45˚ to 90˚ and back a few times, double check your adjustments at both angles to ensure that you have accurately set your miter gauge. To adjust the miter gauge: 1. 2. 3.
Start Up 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 assembly. Before starting the machine: 1. Read this manual and make sure you take all safety precautions before operating this machine. 2.
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. 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 26. Crosscutting blade.
Plywood Blade: Used for cutting plywood or veneers. 10" plywood blades have 40-80 teeth (Figure 28), a steep alternate top bevel tooth profile (Figure 30) and very shallow gullet. Figure 29. Optional dado blade. Figure 28. Plywood blade. 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. Some blade guards/splitters are thicker than thin-kerf blades.
Crosscutting 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. Keep the blade guard in the down position at all times. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death. 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.
Ripping 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. Keep the blade guard in the down position at all times. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death. Stand to the left of the blade line-of-cut when ripping a board. Serious personal injury could occur if kickback results. 8.
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. 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.
10. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your finish stock. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete. 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. Using a standard saw blade: 1. Clearly mark the width of the dado cut on your workpiece.
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. Always replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 2. Cut a piece of wood that is as long and tall as the metal fence and 3⁄4" thick. This will be the sacrificial fence. Make sure the wood is a uniform thickness and free of knots and defects. 3. Attach the sacrificial fence to the metal fence with screws or clamps. 4. Remove the blade guard/splitter assembly, the table insert, and the regular saw blade from the arbor. 5.
Cutting rabbets with the standard blade: Never allow hands or arms to be above or behind the saw blade. Should kickback occur, the hands and arms can be pulled into the saw blade. Serious personal injury could result. 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.
8. Never allow hands or arms to be above or behind the saw blade. Should kickback occur, the hands and arms can be pulled into the saw blade. Serious personal injury could result. Perform the second cut to complete the rabbet cut. Always replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE General ! Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance on the table saw. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury. 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.
Lubrication Table 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. 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.
! 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.

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS ! 45˚ & 90˚ Stops 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. 1.
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.
11. Refer to Figures 43 & 44, for shim placement. 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. 45˚ Bevel #1 Shim ! #4 Shim 12.
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.
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.
