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 should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be 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 extension cords if they become damaged.
Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. BLADE GUARD. Always use the blade guard on all ''through-sawing'' operations. Through-sawing operations are those when the blade cuts completely through the workpiece. KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. Until you have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw! WORKPIECE CONTROL.
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 pulled into the blade during the kickback. Preventing Kickback Below are tips to avoid the most common causes of kickback: • Never attempt freehand cuts.
Safety Accessories Push Sticks The use of a push stick (Figure 1), particularly when cutting small or narrow workpieces, provides an added level of safety for the operator. See the template at the end of the manual for construction details, or purchase one from the Grizzly catalog. Featherboards Featherboards (Figure 3) help prevent workpiece kickback. To make a featherboard, cut a 30-40° angle at one end of the board, and make a number of end cuts at approximately 1⁄4" apart and 2" to 3" deep. Figure 3.
Common Definitions, Terms And Phrases Arbor: Metal shaft that connects the drive mechanism to the blade. Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the saw arbor and blade to an angle between 0° and 45° to perform an angled cutting operation. Blade Guard: Guard 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 the workpiece.

Locked power switch Projectiles thrown from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses during assembly. Recommended Adjustments Before starting the machine: 1. Read the entire instruction manual. 2. Make sure the blade guard and splitter are installed and correctly adjusted. 3.
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS General Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from failure to wear safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection while sanding with this machine. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery. Keep the blade guard in the down position at all times. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.
Combination blade features: • Adequate for cutting both with and across the grain. • 40-50 teeth. • Alternate top bevel and flat, or alternate top bevel and raker tooth profile. • Teeth are arranged in groups of five. • Gullets are small and shallow within the groups of five teeth, similar to a cross-cut blade; then large and deep between each group of five, like a ripping blade. Dado Blades: There are two types of dado blades: stacked and wobble.
Crosscutting Crosscutting means cutting across the grain of the workpiece. In workpieces without grain (i.e. MDF, particleboard) crosscutting simply means cutting across the width of the workpiece. 6. Turn on the saw and allow it to reach full speed. 7. Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge and ease it into the blade as shown in Figure 44. Crosscuts are made with the miter gauge. There are two miter gauge slots in the table top.
Ripping 8. Using a push stick, feed the workpiece through the saw blade as shown in Figure 45, until the workpiece is completely past the saw blade. Ripping means cutting with the grain of the workpiece. In other materials such as MDF or plywood, ripping simply means cutting lengthwise. To make a rip cut: 1. Set the fence to the desired width of cut on the scale. 2. Adjust the blade height so the highest saw tooth protrudes approximately 1⁄4" above the workpiece. 3.
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 dedicated dado blade 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 workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight.
7. Reconnect the saw to the power source. 8. With one finger ready to push the STOP button, turn the saw ON. The blade should run smooth with no vibrations or wobbling. 9. When the blade has reached full speed, perform a test cut with a scrap piece of wood. 6. Re-adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with the other edge of the intended dado channel (Figure 48). Note—Be sure to keep the cuts within your marks; otherwise, the dado will be too big. 10.
Rabbet Cutting Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is a L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade. Cutting rabbets with the dado blade: 1. Adjust the saw blade to the maximum height needed for the rabbeting operation. 2. Adjust the fence and align the workpiece to perform the cutting operation as shown in Figure 50.
Cutting rabbets with the standard blade: 4. Turn the saw ON. Note—Cutting rabbets with a standard saw blade DOES NOT require the use of a sacrificial fence. 5. When the blade has reached full speed, perform a test cut with a scrap piece of wood. Clearly mark the width of the rabbet cut on the workpiece. Note—Include marks on the edge of the workpiece to clearly identify the intended cut while it is laying flat on the saw table. 6. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with the final workpiece.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE ! Lubrication Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Lubricate the areas indicated below every 12 months. 1. Blade angling trunnions. These should be lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil. 2. Clean the Model G0444/G0444Z according to the schedule below to ensure maximum performance. Note—The following maintenance schedule assumes the saw is being used every day.
V-Belts Bearings To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear). Check the V-belt at least every 3 months; more often if the saw is used daily. The bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated and require no lubrication during their usable life. However, your saw components will operate at their best if the bearing surfaces are kept clean.

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS ! ! Always disconnect power to the machine before performing service adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Front About Service This section is designed to help the operator with adjustments that were made at the factory and that might also need to be made during the life of the machine. A Figure 53. 90° blade parallelism measurement. 4.
Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 3-5. 6. 11. Refer back to the measurements taken in steps 3-6. — If the difference was less than 0.004" when the blade was positioned at 90˚ and 45˚, then the blade parallelism is set correctly. Skip to the next sub-section. — If the blade was not parallel in the 90˚ position, then proceed to the set of instructions titled “To Shift The Trunnion.
! 45˚ Bevel #1 3. Tighten down one trunnion bolt a small amount and then move on to each of the others, tightening each down the same amount. 4. Continue to rotate through the bolts, tightening them a little each time until they are all secure. 5. Flip the saw rightside up and repeat steps 26 on page 41. 6. Once the miter slot is adjusted parallel to the blade, recheck all measurements and be sure the table mounting bolts are secure. 7. Re-attach the blade guard and the fence. 8.
6. 45˚ & 90˚ Stops If a gap exists at either the top or bottom of the square, loosen the lock nut (A) and adjustment bolt (B) shown in Figure 59. The Model G0444/G0444Z Table Saw is equipped with positive stops at 45° and 90°. When properly adjusted, they provide quick and precise guides for blade bevel adjustment. D Use caution and remain alert when working around the saw blade. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. To set the 45˚ & 90˚ stops: 1.
Worm Gears The worm gears on the blade tilt and height handwheel shafts can be adjusted to reduce “play” between the worm gear and the trunnion teeth. To adjust the blade height worm gear: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 2. Remove the blade height handwheel. 3. Remove the roll pin that is inserted in the handwheel shaft. 4. Slide the various washers and accessories off the shaft to reveal the “flats” of the threaded bushing. To adjust the blade tilt worm gear: 1.
