Grizzly G0444Z owner's manual: Section 8: service adjustments

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS

() WARNING Always disconnect power to the machine before performing service adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

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.

This section is provided for your convenience—it is not a substitute for the Grizzly Service Department. If any adjustments arise that are not described in this manual, then feel free to call the Grizzly Service Department at (570) 546-9663.

Similarly, if you are unsure of how to perform any procedure in this section, the Grizzly Service Department will be happy to guide you through the procedures or help in any other way.

Blade Parallelism

To check and adjust blade parallelism:

1. UNPLUG THE TABLE SAW!!
2. Raise the blade to its highest position.
3. Tilt the blade to 90°. Using an adjustable square, measure the distance (A) between the miter slot and the front of the blade as shown in Figure 59.

Figure 59. 90° blade parallelism measurement.

4. Rotate the blade 180° and measure the distance (B) between the miter slot and the back of the blade as shown in Figure 60.

Figure 60. 90° blade parallelism measurement.

5. Make note of the difference between the two measurements on a piece of paper.

G0444/G0444Z 10" Table Saw -45-

6. Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 3-5. — 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 difference was greater than 0.004" when the blade was positioned at 90° or 45°, then the trunnion assembly below the table needs to be adjusted. Continue with the next step.

7. Remove the fence and the blade guard.

8. Lower the saw blade completely below the table surface.

9. Flip the saw upside down on the floor. Note: Lay clean and staple-free cardboard or a blanket on the floor to prevent damage to the cast iron table.

10. To maintain the trunnion assembly as one unit, place a bar clamp across the entire trunnion assembly as shown in Figure 61.

Figure 61. Underside view of table/trunnion assembly.

11. Refer back to the measurements taken in Steps 3-6. — If the blade was not parallel in the 90° position, then proceed to the set of instructions titled “To Shift The Trunnion.” — If the blade was not parallel in the 45° position, then proceed to the set of instructions titled “To Shim The Trunnion.”

To Shift The Trunnion:

1. Loosen the trunnion bolts (Figure 61).

2. Move the trunnion assembly according to the difference measured when the blade was in the 90° position.

3. Tighten the trunnion bolts.

4. Flip the saw rightside up and repeat Steps 2-6 on Page 41.

5. Once the miter slot is adjusted parallel to the blade, recheck all measurements and be sure the table mounting bolts are secure.

6. Re-attach the blade guard and fence.

7. Verify that the blade guard is correctly aligned with the blade.

To Shim The Trunnion:

1. Loosen the trunnion bolts (Figure 61).

2. Using Figures 62 & 63, shim the trunnion assembly according to the difference measured when the blade was in the 45° position. — 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.

Note: 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.

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 2-6 on Page 45.

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. Verify that the blade guard is correctly aligned with the blade.

Figure 62. 45° blade parallelism measurement.

Figure 63. 45° blade parallelism measurement.

NOTICE

If the trunnion assembly is loosened in the future, make note of the shim locations and re-assemble accordingly.

45° & 90° Stops

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.

To set the 45° & 90° stops:

1. UNPLUG THE TABLE SAW!!

2. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height by turning the front handwheel clockwise.

3. Adjust the blade to the 90° position.

4. Place a machinist's square against the blade and table surface, as shown in Figure 64.

Figure 64. Checking blade angle to table.

5. With the square in place, inspect for gaps along the blade and square.

6. 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 65.

Figure 65. 90° and 45° stop bolt adjustments.

7. Turn the handwheel until the blade and square are flush from top to bottom.

8. Snug the adjustment screw and tighten the lock nut.

9. Recheck the blade with the square to ensure the screw has not been over-tightened.

10. Using the side handwheel, adjust the blade bevel until you hit the 45° positive stop. Check the bevel with an adjustable square set to 45°.

11. If variations exist, loosen the lock nut (C) and adjust the stop bolt (D) (Figure 65) until the blade and square match.

12. Tighten the lock nut and recheck the bevel by adjusting the blade back to 90°, then back to 45°.

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 tilt worm gear:

1. UNPLUG THE TABLE SAW!
2. Remove the dust hood from the bottom of the saw.
3. Loosen the collar setscrew and slide the collar away from the check nut (Figure 66).

Figure 66. Blade tilt worm gear assembly.

4. Loosen the check nut and thread it completely off of the threaded bushing (Figure 66).
5. Place a wrench on the “flats” of the threaded bushing and adjust the worm gear up or down by turning the wrench. Note: The worm gear and trunnion teeth should mesh with almost no “play.”
6. Carefully thread the check nut back onto the bushing, being careful not to move the bushing.
7. Tighten the check nut against the casting while using a wrench to hold the threaded bushing stationary.

To adjust the blade height worm gear:

1. UNPLUG THE TABLE SAW!
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.
5. Loosen the check nut and thread it back from the trunnion casting.
6. Place a wrench on the “flats” of the threaded bushing and adjust the worm gear up or down by turning the wrench. Note: The worm gear and trunnion teeth should mesh with almost no “play.”
7. Carefully thread the check nut back onto the bushing, being careful not to move the bushing.
8. Tighten the check nut against the casting while using a wrench to hold the threaded bushing stationary.
