Safety Instructions For Power Tools

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. Conductor size should be in accor-

dance 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.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-

AL STARTING. On machines with mag-

netic contact starting switches there is a

risk of starting if the machine is bumped or

jarred. Always disconnect from power

source before adjusting or servicing. Make

sure switch is in OFF position before recon-

necting.

17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN

“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward

the operator if not handled properly. Know

what conditions can create “kickback” and

know how to avoid them.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther use of the tool, a guard or other part

that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function.

Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,

mounting, and any other conditions that

may affect its operation. A guard or other

part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is

recommended. Wear protective hair cover-

ing to contain long hair.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use

face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resis-

tant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN

TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF

DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-

ness is required at all times when running

a machine.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It’s safer than using your

hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR

INEXPERIENCED PERSONNEL TO

OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure

any instructions you give in regards to

machine operation are approved, correct,

safe, and clearly understood.

13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubri-

cating and changing accessories.

22. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-

ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine!

Then contact our service department or

ask a qualified expert how the operation

should be performed.

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recom-

mended accessories. The use of improper

accessories may cause risk of injury.

Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws

1. ALWAYS use blade guard, splitter and

anti-kickback fingers on all ''through-saw-

ing'' operations. Through-sawing opera-

tions are those when the blade cuts com-

pletely through the workpiece as in ripping

or crosscutting.

8. MOVE the rip fence out of the way when

crosscutting.

9. NEVER use the miter gauge and rip fence

at the same time.

10. ALWAYS keep the work firmly against the

miter gauge or fence while holding the

work down against the table.

2. AVOID KICKBACKS. Kickback is a condi-

tion in which a piece of wood is thrown

back towards an operator at a high rate of

speed. If you do not have a complete

understanding of how kickback occurs, or

how to prevent it, DO NOT operate this

table saw.

11. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade

without first turning the saw OFF.

12. PROVIDE adequate support to the rear

and sides of the saw table for wide or long

workpieces.

3. NEVER reach behind or over the blade

with either hand for any reason.

13. AVOID awkward operations and hand

positions where a sudden slip could cause

your hand to move into the blade.

4. ALWAYS use a push-stick for ripping nar-

row stock.

5. NEVER perform any operation using only

your hands to support or guide the work-

piece. Always use either the fence or the

miter gauge to position and guide the work.

14. ALWAYS LOWER OR REMOVE SAW

BLADE WHEN NOT IN USE.

15. NEVER USE A DAMAGED SAW BLADE

OR ONE THAT HAS BEEN DROPPED.

6. NEVER stand or have any part of your

body in line with the path of the saw blade.

16. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-

ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine!

Then contact our service department or

ask a qualified expert how the operation

should be performed.

7. USE GREAT CARE WHEN CUTTING

WITH A DADO BLADE. There is a high

degree of risk involved with any dado oper-

ation. Slight movement of the stock away

from the fence will cause kickback. Never

make a through cut using a dado blade.

No list of safety guidelines can be com-

plete. Every shop environment is different.

Always consider safety first, as it applies to

your individual working conditions. Use

this and other machinery with caution and

respect. Failure to follow guidelines could

result in serious personal injury, damage to

equipment or poor work results.

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 fly-

ing stock, the operator’s hands may be forced into the blade during the kickback. The following

can help minimize kickbacks.

1. Use your blade guard and splitter.

2. Never for any reason place your hand behind the blade. Should kickback occur, your hand will

be pulled into the blade.

3. Make sure the splitter and the blade are aligned.

4. Never use the fence as a guide for crosscutting.

5. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

6. Use a pushstick or featherboard to maintain control of your workpiece.

7. Feed cuts through to completion.

8. Stand to the side when ripping.

9. Ensure your fence and miter slot are parallel to the blade.

If you do not clearly understand kickback and how it occurs, do not operate this table saw.

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.

Safety Accessories

Push Sticks

Use the standard table insert as a template when

creating additional inserts from wood or plywood.

Blade slot inserts can be custom cut for specific

blade angles by raising the running blade into an

uncut insert at the angle you desire. Be sure to

make an additional slot for the blade splitter. We

also carry a wide selection of table inserts (shown

in Figure 2) in the Grizzly catalog. Be sure to hold

the insert firmly in place with a piece of wood

when creating slots. Never hold the table insert

with your hand while cutting new slots.

The use of push sticks (shown in Figure 1), par-

ticularly when cutting small or narrow workpieces,

provides a double benefit for saw operators. The

push stick provides added leverage, enabling the

operator to keep the workpiece firmly supported

against the fence and table. At the same time, the

push stick keeps the operator’s hand safely away

from the rotation of the saw blade. See the tem-

plate at the end of the manual for construction

details, or purchase one from the Grizzly catalog.

Push Paddles

Featherboard

Push paddles provide added leverage and sup-

port when ripping or crosscutting wide work-

pieces. See Figure 3. We offer a number of push

paddles in the Grizzly catalog.

Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards

provide an added degree of protection against

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 ⁄4" apart

and 2" to 3" deep. We also offer a number of

featherboards in the Grizzly catalog. See

Figure 4.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

The Model G5959Z has a 5 HP, 3450 RPM motor

which requires a 220V single-phase circuit. The

cord set included does not have a plug, as the

style of plug you require will depend upon the type

of service you currently have or plan to install. The

motor will safely draw about 30 amps at 220V

under load. If you operate the Model G5959Z on

any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it

might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker.

However, if an unusual load does not exist, and

Figure 5. 220V Single-Phase.

power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspect-

ed by a qualified electrician.

In preparing to connect the Model G5959Z to your

existing or new circuit, it will be necessary to con-

nect a plug that matches your 220V receptacle. If

you will be installing a new receptacle and plug,

we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-30 plug

The Model G5959Z should be fused at 30 amps.

Fusing at amperage ratings higher than 30 amps

will not adequately protect the circuit. Make sure

that existing electrical wires are capable of han-

dling a 30 amp current. If unsure, seek the assis-

tance of a qualified electrician.

Grounding

Extension Cords

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for

electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This tool is equipped with an electric cord having

an equipment-grounding conductor which must

be properly connected to a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that

is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords

on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange

the placement of your equipment and the installed

wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

Should it be necessary to use an extension, make

sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or

better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety to

determine the minimum gauge for the extension

cord. The extension cord must also contain a

ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace

extension cords when they become worn or dam-

aged.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The

conductor with green or green and yellow striped

insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If

repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug

is necessary, do not connect the equipment

grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Wiring Diagram

This equipment must be

grounded. Verify that any

existing electrical outlet

and circuit you intend to

plug into is actually

grounded. Under no cir-

cumstances should the

grounding pin from any

three-pronged plug be

removed. Serious injury

may occur.

A wiring diagram is provided at the back of this

manual should it be necessary to repair or revise

the wiring. Always utilize a qualified electrician

when doing any electrical work on this equipment.

We have covered some basic electrical

requirements for the safe operation of your

machine. These requirements are not nec-

essarily comprehensive. You must be sure

that your particular electrical configuration

complies with local and state codes.

Ensure compliance by checking with your

local municipality or a licensed electrician.

Clean Up

Site Considerations

The table and other unpainted parts of the Model

G5959Z are coated with a waxy grease that pro-

tects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean

this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-

based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895

Degreaser. Do not use chlorine-based solvents –

if you happen to splash some onto a painted sur-

face, you will ruin the finish.

1. Floor Load: Your Model G5959Z weighs

635 lbs. with a 26" x 23¹⁄2" footprint. Most

commercial floors are suitable for the saw.

Some residential floors may require addition-

al bracing to support both machine and oper-

ator.

2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and

anticipated needs, size of material to be

processed through each machine, and

space for auxiliary stands, work table or

other machinery when establishing a loca-

tion for your table saw.

Do not use gasoline or

other petroleum-based

solvents. They have low

flash points which make

them extremely flamma-

ble. A risk of explosion

and burning exists if

these products are

used. Serious personal

injury may occur if this

warning is ignored.

3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be

bright enough to eliminate shadows and pre-

vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be

dedicated or large enough to handle amper-

age requirements. Outlets should be located

near each machine so power or extension

cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe

local electrical codes for proper installation

of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Do not smoke while using

solvents. A risk of explo-

sion or fire exists and may

result in serious personal

injury.

Make your shop “child

safe.” Ensure that your

workplace is inaccessible

to youngsters by closing

and locking all entrances

when you are away. Never

allow visitors in your shop

when assembling, adjust-

ing or operating equip-

ment.

Many of the solvents

commonly used to clean

machinery can be toxic

when inhaled or ingest-

ed. Always work in well-

ventilated areas far from

potential ignition sources

when dealing with sol-

vents. Use care when dis-

posing of waste rags and

towels to be sure they do

not create fire or environ-

mental hazards.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Beginning Assembly

Extension Wings

Inspect the extension wings for burrs or foreign

material that may inhibit assembly. The mating

edges of the wings and table must be clean,

smooth, and flat. Use a wire brush or file if nec-

essary to clean up the edges.

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing any maintenance,

assembly or adjust-

ments. Failure to do this

may result in serious

personal injury.

The wings represent a

very

heavy

load.

Improper lifting tech-

niques or inadequate lift-

ing assistance could

result in serious injuries.

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire assembly

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

NOTICE

The right and left wings are not the same.

The left wing has two tapped holes on the

outside edge, the right has a tapped hole on

the front and back edge. If the wings are not

installed in their correct location, the fence

cannot be attached.

Some metal parts may

have sharp edges on

them after they are

formed. Please examine

the edges of all metal

parts before handling

them. Failure to do so

could result in injury.

1. Disconnect the table saw from the power

source.

2. Attach the left wing to the table using three

hex head bolts and flat washers. Adjust the

wing reasonably flush with the table. Do not

tighten the bolts.

at the factory, but some parts must be assembled

or installed after delivery. We have organized the

assembly process into steps. Please follow along

in the order presented here.

3. Attach the right wing to the table using three

hex head bolts and flat washers. Adjust the

wing reasonably flush with the table. Do not

tighten the bolts.

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a high quality

square, a long straightedge, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm

open end wrenches and a 3mm hex wrench.

4. Align the top of the wing flush with the table

top directly above the front bolt, and tighten

the front bolt. The front edge of the extension

wing should also be flush with the front edge

of the table.

5. Raise or lower the rear of the extension wing

until the middle of the wing is flush with the

table top. Tighten the middle bolt.

9. Now, check the alignment of the table and

both wings with a straightedge. The straight-

edge should run flat across both wings and

the table top. If the straightedge contacts

both wings and the table evenly, you are fin-

ished with this section. If it does not, contin-

ue to Step 10.

3. Reach into the table opening and secure the

guard support shaft with the hex nut and

washer.

4. Slide the guard support over the shaft and

tighten the hex bolt.

10. 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 7.

a. If the wings tilt down, stick layers of mask-

ing tape under each bolt near the bottom

edge of the wing and retighten.

b. If the wing tilts up, apply layers of masking

tape above each bolt near the top edge of

the wing and retighten. Allow tape to

extend above the table surface and trim

with a sharp knife after final assembly.

Miter Slot to Blade

Adjusting your table saw so that the miter slot is

parallel to the blade reduces the risk of kickback

and increases cutting accuracy.

The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use

extra care when handling the blade or work-

ing near it. Serious injury is possible.

Figure 22. Measuring for parallelism.

To adjust the miter slot to the blade:

5. If the gap between the blade and the

adjustable square is greater than .004",

loosen the table mounting bolts shown in

Figure 23 and adjust the table. Note—If you

dont have a .004" feeler gauge to measure

the gap, a dollar bill is approximately .004".

1. Disconnect the table saw from the power

source.

2. Mark the blade in the gullet between the two

teeth closest to the table.

3. Use an adjustable square to measure the

distance from the mark on the blade to the

edge of the miter slot as shown in Figure 21.

Table Mount Holes

Figure 23. Table mounting bolt holes.

6. Repeat steps 2-6 until the miter slot is paral-

lel to the blade.

Figure 21. Measuring for parallelism.

7. Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat steps 1-5. If

the blade is still parallel to the miter slot, con-

tinue on to the “Miter Gauge” instructions.

Otherwise, continue with the next step.

4. Rotate the blade 180° and measure the dis-

tance between the mark on the blade to the

edge of the miter slot as shown in Figure 22.

8. 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 mount holes shown in Figure 23.

10. Refer to Figures 24 and 25, for shim place-

ment. 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 cor-

ners #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.

Miter Gauge

Rip Fence

To adjust the miter gauge so it is perpendicular to

the saw blade:

The rip fence included with your Model G5959Z

12" Table Saw is designed to provide excellent

ripping accuracy when properly adjusted. There

are three main adjustments to concern yourself

with: square, parallelism and clamping pressure.

CLAMPING PRESSURE

PARALLELISM

The fence-clamping mechanism has been adjust-

ed at the factory to provide the right amount of

clamping pressure to hold your fence securely.

Should it eventually need adjustment:

Align the fence alongside the miter slot as shown

in Figure 29, and lock it down. If the fence is not

perfectly parallel to the miter slot:

1. Release the clamping mechanism.

1. Loosen the clamping arm.

2. Remove the fence from the saw and adjust

the setscrews on the rear side of the front

bracket as shown in Figure 28. Make very

minor adjustments and recheck by reclamp-

ing the fence along the miter slot after each

adjustment. Keep in mind that a small turn of

the setscrew can make a large difference

over the length of the fence. Be sure clamp-

ing pressure is still adequate.

2. Remove the fence from the saw and adjust

the setscrews equally on the rear side of the

front bracket as shown in Figure 28.

3. Replace the fence and check the clamping

strength. Re-adjust until proper pressure is

ensured.

splitter alignment and parallelism of the

blade to the miter slot. Adjust as necessary.

Blade Alignment

To adjust the blade by moving the arbor bracket:

If the blade contacts the table insert when raised

or tilted, the blade must be aligned. The easiest

way is to move the table. If moving the table does

not work, adjust the trunnion assembly. If that

does not work, move the arbor bracket.

1. Disconnect the table saw from the power

source.

2. Get assistance to remove the table and

wings and set them to one side.

To adjust the blade by moving the table:

1. Disconnect the table saw from the power

source.

2. Loosen the four table mounting bolts and

adjust the table until the blade does not con-

tact the insert. Tighten all the mounting bolts.

3. Make sure the blade does not contact the

table insert when raised or tilted. Recheck

splitter alignment and parallelism of the

blade to the miter slot. Adjust as necessary.

Arbor Bracket

To adjust the blade by moving the trunnion:

3. To adjust the arbor bracket, loosen the cap

screw and the setscrew. Slowly slide the

arbor bracket towards the end of the shaft.

3. Loosen the four trunnion mounting bolts as

shown in Figure 30, and adjust the trunnion.

4. Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts

and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment

of the motor pulley is required. Loosen the

setscrew and slowly slide the pulley towards

the end of the motor shaft. Once the V-belts

are back into alignment, tighten the setscrew

securely.

5. Reattach the table and tighten all the mount-

ing bolts.

6. Make sure the blade does not contact the

table insert when raised or tilted. Recheck

splitter alignment and parallelism of the blade

to the miter slot. Adjust as necessary.

Before you begin to use your Model G5959Z 12"

Left-Tilt Table Saw, you should give it a thorough

inspection and ask yourself the following ques-

tions:

Always wear a dust

mask when operating

the G5959Z. Using this

machine produces saw-

dust which may cause

allergic reactions or res-

piratory problems.

1. Are all the fasteners tight?

2. Is the blade mounted correctly?

3. Is the saw stable?

4. Is it wired properly?

Keep loose clothing

rolled up and out of the

way of machinery and

keep hair pulled back.

5. Is your electrical system properly config-

ured?

6. Are the V-belts correctly tensioned and the

pulleys properly aligned?

7. Is the guard assembly installed and func-

tional?

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire operations

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

8. Have you checked the saw blade clearance

when it is adjusted to varying angles and

depths?

9. Have you read all warnings and directions

1. Face the table saw and stand to the right of

regarding the operation of this machine?

the blade path.

2. With one finger on the START button and

one finger on the STOP button, turn the saw

on. Be ready to turn it off in case of mishap.

3. Watch and listen to the saw. Note whether

there are any unusual sounds or excessive

vibrations.

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing any maintenance,

assembly or adjust-

ments. Failure to do this

may result in serious

personal injury.

4. Turn off the saw. If anything is abnormal,

stop and fix the problem. If a problem exists

that is beyond the scope of this manual, call

our service department. If the saw is behav-

ing normally, prepare to make a cut accord-

ing to the instructions outlined in the follow-

ing sections.

3. Combination Blade: Used for cutting with

and across the grain. A compromise

between a rip blade and a cross-cut blade, a

combination blade will typically have 50-60

teeth, an alternate top bevel and flat or alter-

nate top bevel and raker tooth profile. The

teeth are arranged in groups of five. The gul-

lets are small and shallow within the groups

of five teeth, similar to a cross-cut blade;

then large and deep between the groups,

like a ripping blade. See Figure 34.

Blade Selection

Choosing the correct blade for the job is essential

for the safe and efficient use of your table saw.

Ignoring this important step could result in dam-

age to the saw and serious injury to the operator.

Documented below are the most common saw

blades and their uses.

1. Rip Blade: Used for cutting with the grain.

Rip blades have 30-40 teeth, flat-top ground

tooth profile and large gullets to allow for

large chip removal. See Figure 32.

Figure 34. Combination blade.

4. Plywood Blade: Used for cutting plywood or

veneers. Plywood blades have 60-80 teeth,

a steep alternate top bevel tooth profile and

very shallow gullet. See Figure 35.

Figure 32. Ripping blade.

2. Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across

the grain. Cross-cut blades have 60-80

teeth, alternate top bevel or steep alternate

top bevel tooth profiles, small hook angle

and a shallow gullet. See Figure 33.

Figure 35. Plywood blade.

Figure 33. Cross-cutting blade.

5. Thin-kerf: Most types of saw blades are

available in a thin-kerf style. Used primarily

to minimize stock wastage. It is recommend-

ed thin-kerf blades be used in conjunction

with a blade stabilizer to reduce blade wob-

ble. Note: Most blade guards/splitters are

thicker than most thin-kerf blades. Make

sure the stock will pass by the guard/splitter

before beginning a cut.

Crosscutting

Crosscutting means cutting across the grain of

the wood. In wood products without grain (i.e.

MDF, particleboard) it simply means cutting

across the width of the stock.

Crosscuts can be made with the miter gauge or a

crosscutting sled. The miter gauge that is includ-

ed with the table saw can make safe and accu-

rate cuts with small and medium sized work-

pieces. A crosscutting sled is a shop built jig that

can also provide safe and accurate crosscuts,

especially with large workpieces.

6. Dado Blades: There are two types of dado

blades: stack and wobble. Stack dadoes are

expensive and time consuming to set up but

leave a clean and smooth finish. Stack

dadoes are used for fine furniture and cabi-

net making. Wobble dadoes are inexpensive

and easy to set up, but leave a rough finish.

To make a crosscut using the miter gauge:

7. Moulding Heads: A moulding head is a cut-

terhead that attaches to the arbor and holds

individual moulding knives. We do not rec-

ommend their use. They are very danger-

ous and require training beyond the scope of

this manual.

1. Inspect the board for soundness.

2. Inspect the miter gauge. Is it properly set and

tight? (See Section 5: Adjustments for

miter gauge set up.) Move the rip fence com-

pletely out of the way.

This section on blade selection is by no means

comprehensive. Always follow the saw blade

manufacturer's recommendations to assure safe

and efficient operation of your table saw.

3. Turn on the saw and allow it to come to full

speed.

4. Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of

the miter gauge and ease it through the

blade as shown in Figure 37.

Ripping

Dado Operations

The table saw is also an invaluable tool for creat-

ing a variety of dadoes. These non-through cuts

can be created with a specially-designed dado

blade or a regular blade. One type of dado blade

is shown in Figure 38.

Ripping means to cut with the grain of the wood.

In other materials such as MDF or plywood, rip-

ping simply means to cut lengthwise. To rip a

board:

1. Inspect the board for soundness. If your

workpiece is bowed it will need to be jointed

flat before attempting to rip on the table saw.

Never attempt to rip a board that does not

have one straight edge on it. Always run the

straight edge of the board against the rip

fence. Failure to do this could result in kick-

back and serious personal injury.

2. Set the rip fence to the desired distance from

the blade.

Figure 38. Optional dado blade system.

It is unsafe to put your hands close to the

blade. If you are making narrow cuts, use a

push stick. A push-stick pattern has been

included in this manual on Page 45, or you

can purchase a push stick from the Grizzly

catalog. Use the pushstick to hold the work-

piece against the fence, and push the work-

piece fully past the blade.

The chance of kickback is always greater

with dado blades, so extra precautions

must be used. Any movement of the stock

away from the fence will cause kickback. Be

certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure

to follow these warnings could result in

serious personal injury.

3. Turn on the saw and allow it to reach full

speed. Place the trued edge of the board

against the fence. Feed the workpiece slow-

ly and evenly into the blade.

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. ALWAYS replace the blade guard

after dadoing is complete.

Never allow hands or arms to be above or

behind the saw blade. Should kickback

occur, your hands and arms can be pulled

into the saw blade. Serious injury will

the blade system you choose. Consult the

instructions included with your dado blades for

directions regarding attachment and adjustment.

To use a dado blade:

Dadoing operations can also be accomplished

using a conventional saw blade. To create a sin-

gle-blade dado:

1. Clearly mark the width of the dado cut on

your workpiece. Include marks on the edge

of your workpiece so you can clearly identify

your intended cut while the material is laying

flat on the saw table.

1. Disconnect the table saw from the power

source.

2. Remove the table insert, splitter guard, regu-

lar saw blade, and 1" arbor. Install the long

wish to create.

3. Attach and adjust the dado blade system as

recommended in the dado blade instruc-

tions.

3. If the dado runs the length of the material,

adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with

the inside of your dado channel as shown in

Figure 39. When cutting across the wood

grain, use the miter gauge as a guide while

dadoing. Remember: never use the fence as

a stop in conjunction with your miter gauge.

4. Install the dado table insert.

5. Clearly mark the width of the dado cut on

your workpiece. Include marks on the edge

of your workpiece so you can clearly identify

your intended cut while the material is laying

flat on the saw table.

Rip Fence

6. Raise the blade system up to the desired

depth of the dado. Make sure the dado blade

will not cut through the work piece.

Workpiece

7. If dadoing along the length of your work-

piece, adjust the distance between the fence

and the inside edge of the blade to suit your

needs. When cutting across the wood grain,

use the miter gauge as a guide while dado-

ing. Remember: never use the fence as a

stop in conjunction with your miter gauge.

Saw Blade

4. Turn on your saw and make the first cut.

8. Reconnect the saw to the power source.

5. Turn off the saw and 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, your

dado will be too large.

9. Using a scrap as a test piece, switch on the

saw and take a pass over the dado blade.

10. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your fin-

ish stock.

11. Reinstall the blade guard.

6. Turn on the saw and make a second cut.

7. Move toward the center of the dado with your

subsequent cuts until the dado is complete.

Rabbet Operations

Always use push sticks, featherboards,

push paddles and other safety accessories

whenever possible to increase safety and

control during operations which require

that the blade guard and splitter must be

removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the

blade guard after dadoing is complete.

This table saw can also be used to cut L-shaped

rabbets. These cuts can be created with a regu-

lar saw blade or with dado blades.

Proper rabbet operations will differ depending on

the blade system you choose. Consult the

instructions included with your dado blades for

directions regarding attachment and adjustment.

5. If rabbeting along the length of your work-

piece, adjust the distance between the fence

and the outside edge of the blade to suit your

needs as shown in Figure 41. When cutting

across the wood grain, use the miter gauge

as a guide while rabbeting. Remember:

Never use the fence as a stop in conjunction

with your miter gauge.

To use a dado blade for rabbeting operations:

1. Disconnect the table saw from the power

source.

Rabbet cutting on the edge of a piece of

stock requires the use of a wooden sacrifi-

cial fence that is as long as the metal fence

and ³⁄4" thick as shown in Figure 40. Attach

the sacrificial fence to the metal fence with

screws or clamps, making sure they are all

secure and tight.

6. Using a scrap as a test piece, switch on the

saw and take a pass over the dado blade.

7. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your fin-

ish stock.

8. Re-install the blade guard.

Raise the blade system according to your

needs. Make sure it will not cut through the

workpiece.

Rabbeting operations can also be accomplished

using a conventional saw blade. To create a sin-

gle-blade rabbet:

6. Turn on the saw and make a second cut.

7. Continue to re-adjust the blade and cut until

the entire rabbet is made.

1. Clearly mark the width of the rabbet cut on

your workpiece. Include marks on the edge

of your workpiece so you can clearly identify

your intended cut while the material is laying

flat on the saw table.

8. Re-install the blade guard.

2. Set the blade height to the depth of cut you

wish to create.

Instructions on using moulding heads have

been intentionally left out. They are very

dangerous when not used properly.

Considerable skill and training beyond the

scope of this manual are required to safely

operate a moulding head. Serious personal

injury could result if this warning is not fol-

lowed.

3. If the rabbet runs the length of the material,

adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with

the inside of your rabbet channel.

4. Turn on your saw and make the first cut.

5. Turn off the saw and re-adjust the fence so

that the next cut will remove another portion

of the wood stock between the inside edge of

the rabbet and the edge of the wood.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

General

Table

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model

G5959Z will ensure its optimum performance.

Check for the following conditions each time you

use your table saw.

Table can be kept rust-free with regular applica-

tions of products like Boeshield^®T-9. For long

term storage you may want to consider products

like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.

V-Belt

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Damaged V-belt.

V-belts must be in good condition and correctly

tensioned to ensure optimum power transmission

from the motor to the blade. When replacing V-

belts, it is important to replace all four at the same

time - even if they do not appear worn.

5. Inspect blade for damage.

6. Guard alignment and operation.

Belt tension should be checked at least every 3

months; more often if using the table saw inten-

sively. The V-belts are accessed through the cav-

ity on the left side of the saw.

7. Any other condition that could hamper the

safe operation of this machine.

To check V-belt tension:

1. Disconnect the table saw from the power

source.

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing any maintenance or

repairs. Failure to do this

may result in serious

personal injury.

2. Squeeze the center of each V-belt.

3. Note the amount of deflection. Deflection

should be approximately ⁄4" as shown in

Figure 42.

Keep loose clothing

rolled up and out of the

way of machinery and

keep hair pulled back.

⁄4"

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire mainte-

nance process. Failure

to comply may result in

serious personal injury.

To adjust V-belt tension:

Lubrication

1. Loosen the motor mount bolt.

2. Shift the motor up or down to increase or

decrease the V-belt tension. Tighten the

motor mount bolt.

The shielded ball bearings in the motor and

throughout the Model G5959Z require no further

lubrication during their lifetime. When they do

wear out, replacements can be obtained through

the Grizzly Parts Department.

3. Check the V-belt tension again. Ensure that

the motor pulley and arbor pulley are lined

up.

Lubricate the areas indicated below every 12

months.

To replace the V-belts:

1. Blade angling trunnions. These should be

lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine

oil.

1. Remove the blade.

2. Adjust the arbor so it is up all the way and in

the 90° position.

2. Blade height trunnion. This should also be

lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine

oil.

3. 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.

3. The two worm gears should be lubricated

with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

The blade angle worm gear is not shown in

Figure 43.

4. 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.

These points can be reached by removing the

table. Check all adjustments when finished lubri-

cating.

5. Raise the arbor and remove the board to

adjust the V-belt tension.

6. Tighten the motor mount bolt.

Figure 43. Lubricate these areas.
