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.

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. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade

2. AVOID KICKBACKS. A condition 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.

without first turning the saw OFF.

11. PROVIDE adequate support to the rear

and sides of the saw table for wide or long

workpieces.

12. AVOID awkward operations and hand

positions where a sudden slip could cause

your hand to move into the blade.

3. NEVER reach behind or over the blade

with either hand for any reason.

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

ask a qualified expert how the operation

should be performed.

row stock.

5. NEVER perform any operation ''free-

hand,'' which means using only your hands

to support or guide the workpiece. 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.

6. NEVER stand or have any part of your

body in line with the path of the saw blade.

15. NEVER USE A DAMAGED SAW BLADE

OR ONE THAT HAS BEEN DROPPED.

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.

16. ALWAYS keep the work firmly against the

miter gauge or fence while holding the

work down against the table.

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.

Safety Accessories

Statistics prove that most common acci-

dents 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 opera-

tor. In addition to the danger of the opera-

tor or others in the area being struck by

the flying stock, it is often the case that

the operator’s hands are forced into the

blade during the kickback. The following

can help minimize kickbacks.

Push Sticks

The use of push sticks (shown in Figure A), 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.

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. Inspect splitter for alignment between it

and your blade.

4. Never use the fence as a guide for cross-

cutting.

5. Never attempt freehand cuts.

6. Use a pushstick or featherboard to main-

tain 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 par-

allel to the blade.

If you do not have a clear understanding of

kickback and how it occurs, do not operate

this table saw.

Figure A. Push Stick.

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.

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 1) 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.

Featherboard

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 3.

Figure 1. Zero Clearance Table Inserts.

Push Paddles

Push paddles provide added leverage and sup-

port when ripping or crosscutting wide work-

pieces. We offer a number of push paddles in the

Grizzly catalog. See Figure 2.

Common Definitions, Terms and Phrases

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate

to this table saw and woodworking in general. It is important that you read and become familiar with them

before assembling, adjusting or operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!

Arbor: Metal shaft extending from the drive

mechanism, to which the cutting blade is

attached.

Non-Thru Cut: A sawing operation that requires

the removal of the blade guard and splitter.

Dado and rabbet cuts are considered Non-

Thru Cuts because the blade does not pro-

trude above the top face of the wood stock.

Always remember to reinstall the blade guard

and splitter after performing a non-thru cut.

Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the saw arbor and blade

to an angle between 0° and 45° to perform an

angled cutting operation.

Blade Guard: Metal or plastic mechanism that

mounts over the saw blade to prevent acciden-

tal contact with the cutting edge.

Perpendicular: Intersecting and forming right

angles; at right angles to the vertical and hori-

zontal planes. i.e. the blade is perpendicular to

the table surface.

Crosscut: Table saw operation in which the miter

gauge is used to cut across the grain of a piece

of wood.

Push Paddle: Safety aid used to push a piece of

wood stock through a cutting operation.

Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that attach to

the arbor and are used for cutting grooves and

rabbets.

Push Stick: Safety aid used to push a piece of

wood stock through a cutting operation.

Usually used when rip cutting.

Dado Cut: Table saw operation that uses a dado

blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the

face of wood stock.

Rabbet: Cutting operation that creates an L-

shaped channel along the edge of wood stock.

Splitter: Metal plate attached to the back of the

blade guard that maintains the kerf opening in

the wood when performing a cutting operation.

Featherboard: Safety device used to keep a

board against the rip fence or table. Allows

operator to keep hands away from the saw

blade.

Standard Kerf: ⁄8" gap made with a standard

blade.

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap made by a saw

blade.

Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,

parallelness, or consistency of a surface(s).

Kickback: A condition in which the wood is

thrown back towards an operator at a high rate

of speed.

Thru-Sawing: A sawing operation where the

wood stock thickness is completely sawn

through. Proper blade height usually allows ¹⁄4

Miter Gauge: A component that controls the

wood stock movement while performing a

crosscut. Allows for variation of angle cuts

such as miter cuts used on a picture frame.

of the top of the blade to extend above the

wood stock.

Thin Kerf: ³⁄32" gap made with a thin kerf blade.

Rip Cut: A cut made along grain of the wood.

Moulding Head: A cutterhead attached to the

arbor. Accepts interchangeable moulding

knives for profile cutting. We DO NOT recom-

mend the use of a moulding head as they

require advanced skills in their operation.

Sacrificial Fence: A piece of wood attached to

the face of the rip fence that is designed to

extend the fence face away from the metal por-

tion of the fence. Used primarily when making

rabbet cuts with a dado blade.

Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every

point. i.e. the rip fence face is parallel to the

side face of the saw blade.

G9957 Only:

The Model G9957 has a 7¹⁄2 H.P., 3450 R.P.M.

motor which requires a 220V three-phase circuit.

The cord set enclosed 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 22 amps at 220V

under load. If you operate the Model G9957 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

power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspect-

ed by a qualified electrician.

The Model G5959 has a 5 H.P., 3450 R.P.M.

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

G5959 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 power failure still occurs, have the cir-

cuit inspected by a qualified electrician.

In preparing to connect the Model G5959 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

and outlet shown in Figure 4.

In preparing to connect the Model G9957 to your

nect a plug that matches your 220V receptacle. If

you will be installing a new receptacle and plug,

we recommend using a HBL2711 30A plug and

outlet shown in Figure 5.

The Model G5959 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

1. Floor Load: Your Model G5959/9957 repre-

sents a large weight load in a small footprint.

Most commercial floors are suitable for the

saw. Some residential floors may require

additional bracing to support both machine

and operator.

The table and other unpainted parts of the Model

G5959/9957 are coated with a waxy grease that

protects them from corrosion during shipment.

Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or cit-

rus-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.

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.

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 table and wings

represent a very heavy

load. DO NOT over-

exert yourself while lift-

ing or moving the table

and wings – get assis-

tance.

Keep loose clothing

rolled up and out of the

way of machinery and

keep hair pulled back.

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.

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire assembly

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

1. Attach the left wing to the table using the

three hex head bolts and flat washers pro-

vided. Adjust the wing reasonably flush with

the table. Do not tighten the bolts.

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.

2. Attach the right wing to the table using the

three hex head bolts and flat washers pro-

vided. Adjust the wing reasonably flush with

the table. Do not tighten the bolts.

Most of your Model G5959/9957 has been assem-

bled 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. 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a high quality

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

open end wrenches and a 3mm Allen^®wrench.

4. 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.

6. If the splitter is positioned to the left of the

blade, alignment cannot be achieved by

washer placement. Adjustment of the front

support bracket is required as shown in

Figure 16. Loosen the (2) adjustment screws

and move left or right.

10. Recheck guard alignment to the blade and to

the table top. Adjust as necessary and tight-

en down all the bolts before use. If the blade

guard is properly aligned, re-attach the table,

making sure there is adequate blade clear-

ance through all blade adjustments.

7. If this adjustment does not allow enough

movement of the splitter, remove the table

and wings, and set them to one side.

11. Adjust the blade to 45° and raise and lower it

through the full range. Re-adjust the blade to

90° and raise and lower it through the full

range. There should be no contact between

the base and the table insert or any other

part of the saw. If there is, repeat Steps 7-9.

The table and wings

tance.

8. The arbor bracket and motor pulley needs

adjusting. Loosen the cap screw and the

setscrew as shown in Figure 17, and slowly

slide the arbor bracket towards the end of the

shaft. Only move the arbor bracket a dis-

tance equal to the amount of misalignment

between the blade and splitter, or a little

more. You can always adjust the splitter back

to the left with washers. Tighten the cap

screw and setscrew securely.

2. Place a machinist’s square flat on the table

and slide it along side 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.

Keep loose clothing

rolled up and out of the

way of machinery and

keep hair pulled back.

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 (Figure 20) to allow a 90° stop

point.

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire adjustment

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

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 as shown in Figure 20.

Use the 45° side of a combo square or a

bevel gauge set at 45°.

Blade Height

When preparing to operate your table saw, you

should adjust the blade height to approximately

4" above the surface of the material you plan on

⁄

cutting. The handwheel at the front of the saw

adjusts blade height. To adjust blade height:

45° Stop Bolt

1. Loosen the locking knob at the center of the

blade height handwheel.

90° Stop Bolt

2. Using a sample of the material you plan on

cutting as a gauge, turn the handwheel until

the blade reaches its intended height.

3. Retighten the locking knob.

4. Recheck your blade height with the sample

material and re-adjust, if necessary.

Miter Slot to Blade

Your table saw will give the best results if the

miter slot and rip fence are adjusted parallel to

the blade. If they are not exactly parallel, your

cuts and finished work will be lower in quality, but

more important, it 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 power cord from the out-

let. Use a piece of tape to mark the blade in

the gullet between the 2 teeth closest to the

table.

Figure 22. Adjusting blade to miter slot after

rotating blade 180° and sliding square down

miter slot.

2. 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.

3. Rotate the blade 180°.

4. Measure the distance from the mark on the

blade to the edge of the miter slot as shown

in Figure 22.

Table Mount Holes

Figure 23. Table mounting bolt holes.

7. Now check to see if the blade remains paral-

lel to the miter slot when tilted to 45°.

8. 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.

Figure 21. Adjusting blade to miter slot.

9. 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 as shown in Figure

23.

5. The difference between the two measure-

ments must be equal to or less than 0.004".

6. If the difference is greater than 0.004",

loosen the four table mounting bolts as seen

in Figure 23 and adjust the table slightly.

Repeat Steps 1-5 until satisfactory. Do not

forget to tighten the table mounting bolts

when finished.

The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use

extra care when handling the blade or work-

ing near it. Serious injury is possible.

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

ment. If the distance of A is longer than B,

shim(s) will need to be placed under corners

#1 and #2. If the distance of B is longer 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.

Blade tilted to 45°

11. Tighten down one bolt a small amount and

then move on to each of the others, tighten-

ing each down the same amount. Continue

to rotate through the bolts, tightening them a

little each time until they are all secure.

Figure 24. 45° blade parallelism.

12. Now recheck the blade to the miter slot at

90° and 45° by repeating Steps 1-5. If the

distance of A and B are equal to or less than

0.004" at both 90° and 45°, continue to the

“Miter Gauge” instructions. If the distances

are still off by more than ¹⁄⁶⁴", repeat Steps 9-

12.

13. Once you feel you have the miter slot adjust-

ed to the blade, recheck all measurements

and be sure the table mounting bolts are

secure. Repeat Step 10 in Section 4:

Assembly, “Blade Guard/Splitter.” Also, if

you ever remove the table in the future, be

sure to make note of shim placements and

re-assemble exactly how it came apart.

Miter Gauge

Rip Fence

To adjust the miter gauge so it is perpendicular to

the saw blade:

The rip fence included with your Model

G5959/9957 12" Table Saw is designed to pro-

vide excellent ripping accuracy when properly

adjusted. There are three main adjustments to

concern yourself with: square, parallelism and

clamping pressure.

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.

SQUARE

Place a machinist’s square against the side of the

fence. If the square does not remain flush against

both the fence and the table, adjust the nylon

screws (Figure 27) on top of the bracket at the

front of the fence until square.

3. With the stop link in the up position, loosen

the jam nut (Figure 26) and adjust the stop

screw until it is seated against the stop link.

4. Now loosen the setscrew on the left front

side of the miter bar, adjust the pointer to 90°

and tighten the setscrew.

Nylon Screws

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.

Figure 27. Nylon adjustment screws.

CLAMPING PRESSURE

Blade Alignment

Setscrews

The blade position can be adjusted slightly in

case it contacts the table insert when raised or

tilted. This adjustment can be made by moving

the table, the whole trunnion assemble, or by just

moving the arbor bracket. Try adjusting by mov-

ing the table first as this is the easiest way. If that

doesn’t work, try adjusting the whole trunion

assembly. If that still doesn’t work, try moving the

arbor bracket.

Nylon Pads

To adjust the blade position by moving the table:

1. Disconnect plug from power source.

2. Loosen the four table mounting bolts.

Figure 28. Setscrew adjustments.

PARALLELISM

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:

3. Nudge the table to either the left or right

depending on where the blade is hitting the

saw. Tighten all mounting bolts.

1. Release the clamping mechanism.

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.

4. If the blade is still contacting the insert,

repeat Steps 1-3. Check all other adjust-

ments.

5. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments,

and adjust as necessary.

To adjust the blade position by moving the trun-

nion:

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Pre-Run Check

Test Run

Before you begin to use your Model G5959/9957

12" Table Saw, you should give it a thorough

inspection. While making your inspection, ask

yourself the following questions:

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing any maintenance,

assembly or adjust-

ments. Failure to do this

may result in serious

personal injury.

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. Have you checked your work piece for obvi-

ous defects?

7. Are the V-belts properly tensioned and the

pulleys properly aligned?

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire operations

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

8. Is the guard assembly installed and func-

tional?

9. Have you checked the saw blade clearance

when it is adjusted to varying angles and

depths?

Always wear a dust

mask when operating

the G5959/9957. Using

this machine produces

sawdust which may

cause allergic reactions

or respiratory problems.

10. Have you read all warnings and directions

regarding the operation of this machine?

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

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.

4. If anything appears abnormal, immediately

turn off the saw and fix the problem. If a

problem exists that is beyond the scope of

this manual, call our service department.

2. Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across

the grain. 12" cross-cut blades have

between 60-80 teeth, alternate top bevel or

steep alternate top bevel tooth profiles, small

hook angle and a shallow gullet. See Figure

32.

5. If the saw is behaving normally, turn it off and

prepare to make a cut according to the

instructions outlined in the following sec-

tions.

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.

Figure 32. Cross-cutting blade.

3. Combination Blade: Used for cutting with

and across the grain. A compromise

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

12" combination blade will typically have

between 50-60 teeth, an alternate top bevel

and flat or alternate top bevel and raker tooth

profile. The teeth are arranged in groups of

five. The gullets 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 33.

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

Typically, 14" rip blades have between 30-40

teeth, flat-top ground tooth profile and large

gullets to allow for large chip removal. See

Figure 31.

4. Plywood Blade: Used for cutting plywood or

veneers. A 12" plywood blade will have 60-

80 teeth, a steep alternate top bevel tooth

profile and very shallow gullet. See Figure

Crosscutting

Figure 34. Plywood blade.

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.

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.

Crosscuts are made with the miter gauge. There

are two miter gauge slots in the table top. Use the

one that works best for the piece being crosscut.

To make a crosscut using the miter gauge:

1. Inspect the board for soundness. You do not

necessarily need a square edge to crosscut

with accuracy.

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.

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

tight? Move the rip fence completely out of

the way.

workpiece fully past the blade. When a small

width is to be ripped and a push-stick can-

not be safely put between the blade and rip

fence, rip a larger piece to obtain the desired

piece.

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

speed. Place the trued edge of the board

against the rip fence. Feed the workpiece

slowly and evenly into the blade. Do not

stand behind the board as shown in Figure

37.

Ripping

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:

Figure 37. Do not stand directly behind wood.

1. Inspect the board for soundness. You will

need a straight edge to rip with accuracy.

Your workpiece may need to be jointed flat

before attempting to cut on the table saw.

Stand out of the line of potential kickback.

Hold the workpiece firmly against the fence

and table. Do not allow your fingers to get

close to the blade! Do not reach over the

blade to off-load the workpiece.

Never attempt to rip a board that does not

have one perfectly straight edge on it.

Always run the straight edge of the board

against the rip fence. Failure to do this

could result in kickback and serious per-

sonal injury.

2. Set the rip fence to the desired distance from

the blade. IF YOU ARE MAKING NARROW

CUTS, USE A PUSH-STICK. It is unsafe to

put your hands close to the blade. A push-

stick pattern has been included in this man-

ual on Page 45, or you can purchase the

G3445 or G1411 push stick from the Grizzly

catalog. Use them to hold the workpiece

against the table and fence, and push the

Dado Operations

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.

In addition to its ability to rip and crosscut lumber,

the table saw is also an invaluable tool for creat-

ing a variety of dadoes. These non-through cuts

can be created with a regular saw blade or with

specially-designed dado blade as shown in

Figure 38.

Proper dado operations will differ depending on

the blade system you choose. Consult the

instructions included with your dado blades for

directions regarding attachment and adjustment.

To use a dado blade:

1. Ensure that the saw is switched off and dis-

connected from its power source.

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

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

⁄8" dado arbor.

3. Attach and adjust the dado blade system as

recommended in the dado blade instruc-

tions.

Figure 38. Optional dado blade system.

4. Install the dado table insert.

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

result.

5. Raise the blade system up to the desired

depth of the dado. Make sure the dado blade

will not cut through the work piece.

6. 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.

Never perform a through cut operation with

a dado blade. A dado blade was designed to

make non-through cuts only. Failure to fol-

low these directions could result in serious

injury.

7. Reconnect the saw to the power source.

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

Dado operations present very real hazards

requiring proper procedures to avoid seri-

ous injury. The chance of kickback is

always greater when dado blades are used

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.

Rabbet Operations

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.

In addition to its ability to create a variety of

dadoes, this table saw can be used to cut L-

shaped rabbets. These cuts can be created with

a regular saw blade or with specially designed

stacking or wobbling dado blades.

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

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.

Rabbet cutting on the edge of a piece of

stock requires the use of a sacrificial fence

attachment as shown in Figure 40. The

sacrificial fence can be made from a piece

of wood that is as long as the metal fence

and ³⁄4" thick. Once the sacrificial fence has

been cut, attach it to the metal fence with

screws or clamps, making sure they are all

secure and tight.

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

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

V-Belt

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model

G5959/9957 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:

To ensure optimum power transmission from the

motor to the blade, the V-belts must be in good

condition and operate under proper tension.

When replacing V-belts, it is important to replace

all four at the same time - even if they do not all

appear worn.

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.

Belt tension should be checked at least every 3

months; more often if using the table saw inten-

sively.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Damaged V-belt.

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:

5. Any other condition that could hamper the

safe operation of this machine.

1. Squeeze the center of each V-belt.

6. Inspect blades for damage.

2. Note the amount of deflection. Deflection

should be approximately ⁄⁴" as shown in

Figure 42.

7. Guard alignment and operation.

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 G5959/9957 require no fur-

ther 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. Remove the blade.

1. Blade angling trunnions. These should be

lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine

oil.

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.

Keep loose clothing

rolled up and out of the

way of machinery and

keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire mainte-

nance process. Failure

to comply may result in

serious personal injury.
