Grizzly G1023SL owner's manual: Section 6: maintenance

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

WARNING Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily

• Check guard alignment and operation.
• Inspect blades for damage or wear.
• Check for loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.
• Check cords, plugs, and switch for damage.
• Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
• Vacuum dust buildup from inside the cabinet and off of the motor after use.
• Wipe the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Weekly

• Wipe down the table surface and grooves with a lubricant and rust preventive such as SLIPIT®.
• Clean the pitch and resin from the saw blade with a cleaner like OxiSolv® Blade & Bit Cleaner.

Monthly

• Check the V-belt for damage or wear.

Cleaning

Cleaning the table saw is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the internal parts with more than a vacuum. To do this, remove the table top and clean the internal parts with citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel wool. DO NOT USE WATER—WATER WILL CAUSE CAST IRON TO RUST. Make sure the internal workings are dry before using the saw again, so that wood dust will not accumulate. If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning, re-lubricate those areas.

Lubrication

Lubricate the areas indicated below every 6–12 months, depending on frequency of use.

1. Blade angling trunnions. These should be lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.
2. Blade height trunnion. This should also be lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.
3. The 2 worm gears should be lubricated with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

These points can be reached through the motor cover opening or the blade opening. Check all adjustments after lubricating.

Table Saw Operations

Blade Tilt Stops

The table saw trunnion features 45° and 90° stop bolts on the geared trunnion that, when adjusted correctly, stop the blade exactly at 45° and 90° during blade adjustments.

To set the stop bolts on the trunnion:

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Position the blade tilt to zero (see indicator on the front of the saw), and raise the blade several inches above the table.
3. Place a machinist's square flat on the table and slide it alongside the blade. The square should contact the blade evenly from bottom to top. Make sure that a blade tooth does not obstruct the movement of the square.
4. Adjust the handwheel until the square is flush with the blade. Loosen the tilt indicator arrow, set to zero, and retighten. Loosen and adjust the stop bolt on the left side of the front trunnion to allow a 90° stop point. See Figure 74 for details.

Figure 74. Geared trunnion.

5. Turn the blade angle handwheel until the angle indicator points at the desired angle.
6. Tighten the handwheel locking knob.
7. Repeat Steps 1-6 for setting the blade to 45° and adjust the 45° stop bolt on the right side of the front trunnion. Use the 45° side of a combo square or a bevel gauge set at 45°.

Miter Slot to Blade

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.

Note: For safest and most accuracte adjustments, use a Superbar and Master plate (see Figure 73 on Page 44.

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Use an adjustable square to measure the distance from the miter slot to a carbide tip on the blade as shown in Figure 75. Make sure that the face of the adjustable square is even along the miter slot.

Figure 75. Adjusting blade to miter slot.

3. With the end of the adjustable square just touching the tip, lock the square in place. Now, mark the carbide tip with a magic marker where you made this measurement.
4. Rotate that tip to the other end of the table insert.
5. Slide the adjustable square down to the other end of the table insert, and compare the distance from the marked blade tip to the end of the adjustable square.
6. If the blade tip does not touch the end of the adjustable square similar to the first measurement, then the table will need to be adjusted.
7. To adjust the table, loosen the four bolts in the table mounting locations (see Figure 76) and slightly tap the table. Repeat Steps 2-6 until satisfactory. Do not forget to tighten the table mounting bolts when finished.

Table Mounting Locations

Figure 76. Table mounting bolt holes.

8. Now check to see if the blade remains parallel to the miter slot when tilted to 45°.
9. Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 2-6. If the blade is still parallel to the miter slot, continue on to the Miter Gauge instructions. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
10. If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at 90° but not at 45°, the table will need to be shimmed with metal shim stock. The shims are placed under the table over each of the four table mounting bolts.

WARNING The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use extra care when handling the blade or working near it. Serious injury is possible.

G1023SL Series Table Saw -49-

11. Refer to Figures 77 and 78, 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.

12. Tighten down one bolt a small amount and then move on to each of the others, tightening each down the same amount. Continue to rotate through the bolts, tightening them a little each time until they are all secure.

13. Now recheck the blade to miter slot at 90° and 45° by repeating Steps 2-6. If the distance of A and B are equal, continue to the Miter Gauge instructions. If the distances are still off, repeat Steps 10-13.

14. Once you feel you have the miter slot adjusted to the blade, recheck all measurements and be sure the table mounting bolts are secure. Repeat Step 10 in Blade Guard/Splitter. Also, if you ever remove the table in the future, be sure to make note of shim placements and reassemble exactly how it came apart.

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 SAW FROM POWER!
2. Remove the table and wings and set them to one side.
3. Loosen the four trunnion mounting bolts as shown in Figure 79, and nudge the trunnion to either the left or the right depending on where the blade is hitting the saw.

Figure 79. Trunnion mounting bolts.

To adjust the blade position by moving the arbor bracket:

1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Remove the table and wings and set them to one side.
3. Loosen the adjustment bolt shown in Figure 80.

Figure 80. Adjusting arbor bracket.

4. To adjust the arbor bracket, loosen the adjustment bolt. Slowly slide the arbor bracket towards the end of the shaft.

5. Reattach the table, making sure there is adequate blade clearance through all blade adjustments. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tighten down all the bolts before use.

6. If the blade is still contacting the insert, repeat Steps 2-4. Check all other adjustments.

7. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments, and adjust as necessary.

WARNING
The table and wings are very heavy. DO NOT over-exert yourself while lifting or moving the table and wings — get assistance.

NOTICE
If you make the adjustment described in this section, check and adjust the blade splitter to make sure it aligns with the blade.

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 set screw 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 set screw securely.

6. Reattach the table, making sure there is adequate blade clearance through all blade adjustments. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and tighten down all the bolts before use.

7. If the blade is still contacting the insert, repeat Steps 2-6. Check all other adjustments.

8. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments, and adjust as necessary.

Adjusting Fence

The rip fence included with your G1023SL Series Table Saw is designed to provide excellent ripping accuracy when properly adjusted. For complete adjustment procedures, refer to the manual that is included with the fence.

Miter Gauge

To adjust the miter gauge so it is perpendicular to the saw blade:

1. Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and place a square against the face of the miter body and the blade.

2. Adjust the miter body until there is no space between the square and the blade. Tighten the lock knob.

3. With the stop link in the up position, loosen the jam nut and adjust the stop screw until it is seated against the stop link (see Figure 81 for part locations).

4. Now loosen the set screw on the left front side of the miter bar, adjust the pointer to 90° and tighten the set screw.

5. To adjust to 45°, follow Steps 1-4 using an adjustable square set to 45°.

6. After rotating the miter body from 45° to 90° and back a few times, double-check your adjustments at both angles to assure that you have accurately set your miter gauge.

The miter bar can be adjusted so that it fits tighter in the miter slot. To do this, turn the adjustment set screw shown in Figure 81 clockwise in small increments and test fit between adjustments until it fits your expectations.
