Grizzly G1023Z owner's manual: Section 7: maintenance

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance on the table saw. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.

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.

WARNING Projectiles thrown from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses during maintenance.

General

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.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged V-belt.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
6. Inspect blades for damage.
7. Guard alignment and operation.

Lubrication

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.

Lubricate the areas indicated below every 12 months:

BLADE ANGLING TRUNNION—The front and back trunnions each have a semi-circle groove that needs to be lubricated with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

BLADE HEIGHT TRUNNION—The blade height trunnion pivots on a steel rod. This should be lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.

WORM GEARS—These should be lubricated with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

Table

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. Regular applications of products like SLIPIT® will prevent rust as the saw is used on a daily basis. For long term storage, use products such as Boeshield T-9®. Both of these products are available in the Grizzly catalog.

V-Belt

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belts must be in good condition and operate under the proper tension. When replacing V-belts, replace all three at the same time—even if they do not all appear worn.

Belt tension should be checked at least every 3 months; more often if using the table saw intensively.

The V-belts are accessed through the cavity on the right side of the saw. They link the arbor and motor pulleys.

To check V-belt tension:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source!
2. With moderate pressure, push the center of each V-belt.
3. Note the amount of deflection. Deflection should be approximately 1/2", similar to Figure 39.

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. Raise the arbor and remove the board to adjust the V-belt tension.
7. Tighten the motor mount bolt.

Figure 39. V-belt deflection.

To adjust V-belt tension:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source!
2. Loosen the motor mount bolt.
3. Shift the motor up or down to increase or decrease the V-belt tension. Tighten the motor mount bolt.
4. Check the V-belt tension again. Ensure that the motor pulley and arbor pulley are lined up.

Maintenance Log

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS

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.

WARNING Wear safety glasses during the entire adjustment process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

45° & 90° Stops

1. Set your blade angle at zero as shown on the angle indicator on the front of the saw and raise the blade several inches above the table.

2. 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.

3. 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 40 for details.

4. Turn the blade angle handwheel until the angle indicator points at the desired angle.

5. Tighten the handwheel locking knob.

6. 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°.

45° Stop Bolt 90° Stop Bolt Figure 40. Geared trunnion.

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. Use an adjustable square to measure the distance from the miter slot to a carbide tip on the blade as shown in Figure 41. Make sure that the face of the adjustable square is even along the 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.

Figure 41. Adjusting blade to miter slot.

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 42) and slightly tap the table. Repeat Steps 1-5 until satisfactory. Do not forget to tighten the table mounting bolts when finished.

Figure 42. 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 1-5. 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 between the table and cabinet over each of the four table mounting bolts.

WARNING

Use caution and remain alert when working around the saw blade. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

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.

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 1-5. If the distance of A and B are equal, continue to the “Miter Gauge” instructions. If the distances are still off, repeat Steps 9-12.

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 12 on Page 25. If the table is removed in the future, be sure to reinstall the shims the same way they came off.

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. Be sure to note the position of the table shims. Replace them to their original position before re-attaching the table.
3. Loosen the four trunnion mounting bolts as shown in Figure 45, and nudge to either the left or right depending on where the blade is hitting the saw.

Figure 45. Trunnion mounting bolts.

WARNING The table and wings represent a very heavy load. DO NOT over-exert yourself while lifting or moving the table and wings – get assistance.

4. 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.
5. If the blade is still contacting the insert, repeat Steps 1-4. Check all other adjustments.
6. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments, and adjust as necessary.

Figure 46. Adjusting arbor bracket.

To adjust the blade position by moving the arbor bracket:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source!
2. Remove the table and wings and set them to one side. Be sure to note the position of the table shims. Replace them to their original position before re-attaching the table.
3. Loosen the bracket lock bolt shown in Figure 46.
4. Slowly slide the arbor bracket towards the end of the shaft.

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 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. Adjust as necessary and tighten down all the bolts before use.

7. If the blade is still contacting the insert, repeat Steps 1-6. Check all other adjustments.

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