Safety Instructions for Sliding Table Saws  
1. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use the  
blade guard and riving knife on all ''through-  
sawing'' operations. Through-sawing oper-  
ations are those when the blade cuts com-  
pletely through the workpiece.  
7. RIP FENCE USAGE. When using the  
crosscut fence, the workpiece should never  
contact the rip fence while the saw blade is  
cutting.  
8. STALLED BLADE. Turn the saw OFF  
2. KICKBACK. Kickback is defined as high  
speed expulsion of stock from the table  
saw toward the operator. Until you have a  
clear understanding of kickback and how it  
occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw!  
before "freeing" a stalled saw blade.  
9. AWKWARD OPERATIONS. Avoid awk-  
ward operations and hand positions where  
a sudden slip could cause your hand to  
move into the spinning saw blade.  
3. WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the  
workpiece is placed in a stable position on  
the table and is either supported by the rip  
fence or the crosscut table during cutting  
operations.  
10. BLADE HEIGHT. Always adjust the blade  
to the proper height above the workpiece.  
11. DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use  
blades that have been dropped or dam-  
aged. A damaged blade could lose teeth  
while turning, causing injury or death.  
4. PUSH STICK. Always use a push stick  
when ripping narrow stock.  
5. OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or  
have any part of your body directly in-line  
with the cutting path of the saw blade.  
12. RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT. Only oper-  
ate the saw if the riving knife is aligned with  
the main blade to prevent kickback.  
6. REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never  
reach behind or over the blade with either  
hand while the saw is running. If kick-  
back occurs while reaching over the blade,  
hands or arms could be pulled into the  
spinning saw blade.  
13. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any  
time you are experiencing difficulties per-  
forming the intended operation, stop using  
the machine! Contact Tech Support at  
(570) 546-9663.  
Like all machines there is danger associat-  
ed with the Model G0588/G0591. Accidents  
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity  
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine  
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-  
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety  
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-  
ous personal injury may occur.  
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.  
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 do so could result in serious per-  
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor  
work results.

Make multiple, shallow passes when per-  
forming a non-through cut. Making a deep  
non-through cut will greatly increase the  
chance of kickback.  
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 operator. In addi-  
tion to the danger of the operator or oth-  
ers in the area being struck by the flying  
stock, the operator’s hands can be pulled  
into the blade during the kickback.  
Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime  
you stop feeding a workpiece that is in the  
middle of a cut, the chance of binding, result-  
ing in kickback, is greatly increased.  
Protecting Yourself  
from Kickback  
Preventing Kickback  
Below are tips to reduce the likelihood of  
kickback:  
Even if you know how to prevent kickback,  
it may still happen. Here are some tips to  
reduce the likelihood of injury if kickback  
DOES occur:  
Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece  
is not fed perfectly parallel with the blade, a  
kickback will likely occur. Always use the  
rip fence or crosscut fence to support the  
workpiece.  
Never, for any reason, place your hand  
behind the blade. Should kickback occur,  
your hand will be pulled into the blade.  
Make sure the riving knife is always aligned  
with the blade. A misaligned riving knife can  
cause the workpiece to bind or stop the flow  
of the cut, resulting in an increased chance  
of kickback. If you think that your riving knife  
is not aligned with the blade, check it imme-  
diately!  
Stand to the side of the blade during every  
cut. If a kickback does occur, the thrown  
workpiece usually travels directly in front of  
the blade.  
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield.  
In the event of a kickback, your eyes and  
face are the most vulnerable part of your  
body.  
Ensure that your table slides parallel with the  
blade; otherwise, the chances of kickback  
are extreme. Take the time to check and  
adjust the sliding table.  
Use a pushstick to keep your hands farther  
away from the moving blade. If a kickback  
occurs, the push stick will most likely take  
the damage that your hand would have  
received.  
Use the riving knife whenever performing a  
through cut. The riving knife helps maintain  
the kerf in the workpiece after it is cut, there-  
fore, reducing the chance of kickback.  
Keep the blade guard installed and in good  
working order. Only remove it when perform-  
ing non-through cuts and immediately re-  
install the blade guard when finished with the  
non-through cut.

Glossary of Terms  
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. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting  
or operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!  
Arbor: A metal shaft extending from the drive  
mechanism that is the mounting location for  
the saw blade.  
Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that  
requires the removal of the blade guard and riv-  
ing knife. Dado and rabbet cuts are considered  
Non-Through Cuts because the blade does  
not protrude above the top face of the wood  
stock. Deep Non-Through Cuts must be made  
with multiple, light passes to reduce chance  
of kickback. Always remember to re-install the  
blade guard and riving knife after performing a  
non-through cut.  
Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the arbor and saw blade  
to an angle between 0˚ and 45˚ to cut a bev-  
eled edge onto a workpiece.  
Blade Guard: Metal or plastic safety device that  
mounts over the saw blade. Its function is to  
prevent the operator from coming into contact  
with the saw blade.  
Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect  
and form right angles (i.e. the blade is perpen-  
dicular to the table surface).  
Crosscut: Cutting operation in which the cross-  
cut fence is used to cut across the shortest  
width of the workpiece.  
Push Stick: Safety device used to push the  
workpiece through a cutting operation. Used  
most often when rip cutting thin workpieces.  
Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that are used  
to cut grooves and rabbets.  
Rabbet: Cutting operation that creates an L-  
shaped channel along the edge of the  
workpiece.  
Dado Cut: Cutting operation that uses a dado  
blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the  
face of the workpiece.  
Riving Knife (Splitter): Metal plate located  
behind the blade. It maintains the kerf opening  
in the wood when performing a cutting opera-  
tion.  
Featherboard: Safety device used to keep the  
workpiece against the rip fence and against the  
table surface.  
Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece  
after the saw blade passes through during a  
cutting operation.  
Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,  
parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).  
Through Cut: A sawing operation in which the  
Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is  
propelled back towards the operator at a high  
rate of speed.  
workpiece is completely sawn through.  
Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the rip fence  
is used to cut across the widest width of the  
workpiece.  
Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every  
point along two given lines or planes (i.e. the  
rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw  
blade).

Grounding  
In the event of an electrical short, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock. The ground-  
ing wire in the cord must be properly connected  
to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the  
outlet must be properly installed and grounded.  
All electrical connections must be made in accor-  
dance with local codes and ordinances.  
Minimum Circuit Requirement.................25 Amp  
Minimum Cord Requirements  
Use the following type of cord to connect your  
machine to power (a cord is not provided):  
Cord............................................................3 wire  
Gauge.................................................. 10 Gauge  
Electrocution or fire could  
result if this machine is  
not grounded correctly  
or if your electrical con-  
figuration does not com-  
ply with local and state  
codes. Ensure compliance  
by checking with a quali-  
fied electrician!  
Extension Cords  
We do not recommend the use of extension cords  
on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-  
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to  
eliminate the need for extension cords.  
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-  
sion cord at 220V with your machine, check with  
a qualified electrician for the correct sizing, type,  
and maximum possible length for your needs.

Connection Type  
220/440V 3-Phase  
We recommend hardwiring 3-phase machines  
directly to the circuit breaker and installing a lock-  
ing shut-off lever near the machine as a way to  
quickly disconnect the power and prevent acci-  
dental starting (see Figure 5).  
Serious personal injury could occur if you  
connect your machine to the power source  
before you have completed the set up pro-  
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the  
power source until instructed to do so.  
Wiring  
The Model G0588 is prewired for 220V 3-phase  
operation. If 440 voltage is required, rewire the  
machine according to the instructions on Page 14  
and follow the circuit requirements on this page.  
Amperage Draw  
The Model G0588 has a 712 HP main motor that  
will draw the following amps:  
Figure 5. A power disconnect is preferable to  
high current plugs and receptacles.  
Motor Draw at 220V ..............................20 Amps  
Motor Draw at 440V .............................. 10 Amps  
A fire may occur if your particular electrical  
configuration does not comply with local and  
state codes. The best way to ensure compli-  
ance is to check with your local municipality  
or a qualified electrician.  
Minimum Circuit Requirements  
Only connect your machine to a circuit that meets  
the requirements below. Check to see if the wires  
and circuit breaker in your circuit are capable of  
handling the amperage draw from your machine,  
as well as any other machines that could be  
operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure,  
consult a qualified electrician.  
220V Circuit.............................................25 Amp  
440V Circuit.............................................15 Amp

Phase Converter  
Rewiring to 440V  
When using a phase converter, the power from  
the manufactured power leg (sometimes called  
the wild wire) can fluctuate. Connect the manufac-  
tured power leg to the S terminal to prevent dam-  
age to the electrical controls. The wire from the S  
terminal can handle some fluctuation because it  
goes directly to the motor. The power going to the  
R and T terminals goes to the electrical controls  
and must be consistent to prevent damage. See  
the instruction manual included with the phase  
converter for more information.  
The Model G0588 can be rewired for 440V oper-  
ation. This rewiring job consists of disconnecting  
the saw from the power source, replacing the  
magnetic switch, and rewiring the motor.  
The necessary magnetic switch for this proce-  
dure can be purchased by calling our Customer  
Service number at (800) 523-4777.  
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill  
and the rewiring job must be inspected by a quali-  
fied electrician before the saw is connected to the  
power source.  
To rewire the Model G0588 for 440V opera-  
tion:  
Grounding  
1. Disconnect the saw from the power  
source!  
In the event of an electrical short, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock. The ground-  
ing wire in the cord must be properly connected  
to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the  
outlet must be properly installed and grounded.  
All electrical connections must be made in accor-  
dance with local codes and ordinances.  
2. Remove the control panel cover plate shown  
in Figure 6.  
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding  
conductor increases the risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our  
service personnel if you do not understand  
the grounding instructions, or if you doubt the  
machine is properly grounded.  
Electrocution or fire could  
result if this machine is  
not grounded correctly  
or if your electrical con-  
figuration does not com-  
ply with local and state  
codes. Ensure compliance  
by checking with a quali-  
fied electrician!

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS  
Operation Safety  
Operation Tips  
Your safety is important. The tips below are  
intended to supplement SECTION 1: SAFETY.  
But remember, no safety list can be comprehen-  
sive of every situation. The operator is ultimately  
responsible for their own safety, as well as the  
safety of bystanders. Every cutting operation is  
uniquely different and may require safety equip-  
ment or safety procedures not mentioned in this  
manual.  
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could  
result from using this machine without  
proper protective gear. Always wear safety  
glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection  
when operating this machine.  
Please follow these tips EVERY time you use  
your saw:  
Stand to the left of the blade line-of-cut when  
performing a cutting operation.  
Turn OFF the saw and allow the blade to  
come to a complete stop before removing the  
cut-off piece.  
Loose hair and cloth-  
ing could get caught in  
machinery and cause seri-  
ous personal injury. Keep  
loose clothing and long  
hair away from moving  
machinery.  
Make sure that the riving knife is always  
aligned with the main blade before cutting!  
Always position the blade guard to the cor-  
rect height above the workpiece.  
NOTICE  
Carefully plan each cutting operation to avoid  
injuries.  
If you have never used this type of machine  
or equipment before, WE STRONGLY REC-  
OMMEND that you read books, trade maga-  
zines, or get formal training before begin-  
ning any projects. Regardless of the con-  
tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will  
not be held liable for accidents caused by  
lack of training.  
When you release the sliding table lock,  
make sure that the knob is positioned so that  
it will not lock the table during a cut.

5. When replacing the scoring blade, measure  
the main blade and stack the scoring blade  
with shims to match the thickness of the  
main blade.  
Changing Blades  
The Model G0588/G0591 will perform best when  
high quality, sharp blades are used. Therefore,  
whenever the blades start to get dull, we rec-  
ommend that you have them resharpened or  
replaced with a new blade.  
6. Install the main blade with the teeth facing  
the front of the saw, and install the scoring  
blade with the teeth facing back.  
7. Re-install the arbor flange and the arbor nut  
and tighten them against the blade as shown  
in Figure 49.  
To change the blades:  
1. Disconnect the saw from the power  
source!  
Note: Wear gloves to protect your hands  
when installing or removing blades.  
2. Move the blade tilt to 0˚ (blade 90˚ to table)  
and raise the main blade as high as it will  
go.  
3. Slide the table all the way forward to access  
the blade arbor, loosen the cap screw secur-  
ing the lower blade guard, slide the cap  
screw up, and pull open the lower blade  
guard shown in Figure 48.  
Figure 49. Replacing the main blade.

8. Position the riving knife about 3mm or 8  
"
away from the nearest carbide tooth on the  
main blade.  
Note: For a quick gauge, use the 3mm hex  
wrench to find the correct spacing between  
the blade and the riving knife.  
Figure 48. Internal blade guard exposed.  
9. Align the scoring blade set to the main  
blade as described in the Aligning Blade  
and Riving Knife Alignment instructions on  
Page 27.  
4. Place a hex wrench in the hole in the arbor  
of the blade you wish to change to prevent  
the arbor from rotating, then use the arbor  
wrench to remove the arbor nut and flange.  
10. Align the riving knife with the blades as  
instructed on Page 27.  
Note: The arbor nut on the main blade has  
left hand threads and loosens by turning  
clockwise. The arbor nut on the scoring blade  
has right hand threads and loosens by turn-  
ing counterclockwise.  
11. Move the lower blade guard back into its  
original position and lock it in place with the  
cap screw.

2. Slide the protection block on the end of the  
crosscut fence against the blade teeth to cali-  
brate the scale, then tighten the lock knob.  
Rip Cutting  
The Model G0588/G0591 easily rips full size  
panels (Figure 50). The sliding table removes the  
burden of sliding a large and heavy panel over a  
stationary table surface.  
Note: The scale will not be accurate if the  
protection block has been cut.  
3. Set a flip stop to the desired width-of-cut.  
This saw also can rip cut smaller boards using  
the machine as a traditional table saw (Figure  
51). Smaller, lighter boards are easier to slide  
across the stationary cast iron table surface to  
the right of the saw blade.  
4. Position the blade guard to the correct height  
for your workpiece.  
5. Load the workpiece onto the table saw. The  
set up should look similar to Figure 50.  
6. When ripping irregular shaped stock, wedge  
the leading edge under the edge shoe (Figure  
52), slide the hold down into place as shown  
in Figure 52, and clamp the stock firmly.  
Note: DO NOT use the edge shoe for rip-  
ping warped or twisted boards. The tension  
that causes warps and twists can cause the  
board to spring free from the edge shoe and  
hold down during a cut.

5. Slide the leading end of the rip fence so it is  
even with the center of the main saw blade as  
shown in Figure 55.  
Rip cutting using traditional table  
saw techniques:  
1. Remove the crosscut fence.  
Note: This technique allows the finished cut-  
off piece to “fall” away from the blade when  
the cutting operation is complete; reducing  
the possibility of kickback.  
2. Use the table lock (Figure 53) to lock the  
sliding table into a stationary position.

Lastly, this machine has the capability of cross-  
cutting workpieces while using the rip fence as a  
cut-off gauge (Figure 59).  
Crosscutting  
The Model G0588/G0591 can crosscut full size  
panels with the fence in the forward or rear posi-  
tion, although it is easier to load full size panels  
with the crosscut fence mounted in the forward  
position (see Figure 57).

performing maintenance.  
Failure to do this may  
result in serious person-  
Cleaning the Model G0588/G0591 is relatively  
easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust,  
and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.  
Use compressed air to blow dust from between  
the two sections of the sliding table. If any resin  
has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to  
remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel  
al injury.  
Schedule  
with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.  
For optimum performance from your machine,  
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any  
specific instructions given in this section.  
Unpainted Cast Iron  
Daily Check:  
Loose mounting bolts.  
Worn or damaged saw blade.  
Worn or damaged switches or wires.  
Any other unsafe condition.  
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the  
table by wiping the table clean after every use—  
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not  
remain on bare metal surfaces.  
Weekly Maintenance:  
Clean sliding table surface and grooves.  
Clean the cast iron saw table.  
Clean the sliding table roller guideways.  
Clean the rip fence and sliding grooves.  
Clean the rip fence bracket.  
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of  
products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or  
Boeshield® T-9(seeSECTION5:ACCESSORIES  
on Page 40 for more details).  
Monthly Check:  
Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi-  
net and off motor.  
V-belt tension, damage, or wear.  
Note: Adjust V-belt tension after the initial 10  
hours of operation.

3. Blade height worm gears. Lubricate with  
an automotive wheel bearing grease (see  
Figure 79).  
Lubrication  
The bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated and  
require no lubrication during their usable life.  
However, your saw components will operate  
at their best if the bearing surfaces are kept  
clean—this is especially important for the trun-  
nion bearings.  
Blade Height  
Worm Gear  
Lubricate the areas indicated below every 6-12  
months, depending on frequency of use.  
1. Blade angling pivots. These should be  
lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine  
oil (see Figure 77).

SECTION 7: SERVICE  
Replacing Belts  
Always  
disconnect  
power to the machine  
before performing ser-  
vice adjustments. Failure  
to do this may result in  
serious personal injury.  
To ensure optimum power transmission from the  
motor to the blades, the belts must be in good  
condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and  
operate under proper tension.  
To change the main blade arbor V-belt:  
1. Disconnect the saw from the power  
source!  
About Service  
2. Move the blade tilt to 45˚, lower the main  
blade all the way down, and open the motor  
cabinet door.  
This section is designed to help the operator with  
adjustments that were made at the factory and  
that might also need to be made during the life of  
the machine.  
3. Loosen the belt tension bolt (Figure 80) and  
pivot the motor up.  
This section is provided for your convenience—  
it is not a substitute for the Grizzly Service  
Department. If any adjustments arise that are not  
described in this manual, then feel free to call the  
Grizzly Service Department at (570) 546-9663.  
Similarly, if you are unsure of how to perform  
any procedure in this section, the Grizzly Service  
Department will be happy to guide you through  
the procedures or help in any other way.

4. Remove the screws that secure the lower  
blade guard (Figure 81) and set the guard in  
the bottom of the cabinet.  
3. Rotate the belt tension arm shown in Figure  
82 and slide the flat belt off of the roller.

4. Remove the old flat belt and replace it with a  
new flat belt.  
5. Remove the old V-belt set and replace them  
with a new V-belt set.  
5. Close and secure the motor cabinet door.  
Note: The motor V-belts should always be  
replaced as a matched set to ensure maxi-  
mum belt longevity and power transmission.  
6. Tighten the tension bolt until the belts deflect  
between a 14" and a 12" when pressed firmly  
in the center of each V-belt.  
7. Replace the lower blade guard.  
8. Close and secure the motor cabinet door.  
Note: Re-tension the new V-belts after the  
initial 10 hours of use.  
To change the scoring blade arbor flat belt:  
1. Disconnect the saw from the power  
source!  
2. Move the blade tilt to 45˚, raise the main  
blade all the way up, and open the motor  
cabinet door.

8. Adjust the blade angle until you hit the 45˚  
positive stop. Check the bevel with an adjust-  
able square set to 45˚.  
Blade Tilt  
9. If variations exist, loosen the set screw in the  
45˚ tilt stop nut (Figure 83) and adjust the  
stop nut until the blade and square match.  
The blade tilt is calibrated at the factory, but can  
be adjusted if it changes during the life of the  
machine.  
10. Tighten the set screw and recheck the bevel  
by adjusting the blade back to 90˚, then back  
to 45˚.  
To calibrate the blade tilt:  
1. Disconnect the saw from the power  
source!  
11. Check the scale for accuracy at 45˚ and 90˚.  
2. Move the blade tilt to 90˚ according to the  
gauge, and raise the main blade as high as it  
will go.  
—If the scale reads 45˚ when the blade is at  
45˚ and 0˚ when the blade is at 90˚ to the  
table, it is accurate.  
3. Place a machinist's square on the table sur-  
face and between the blade teeth. Inspect for  
gaps between the blade and the square.  
—If the scale reading does not match the  
blade angle, perform the adjustments in  
Step 12.  
4. If a gap exists at either the top or bottom of  
the square, loosen the set screw in the 90˚ tilt  
stop nut shown in Figure 83.  
12. Loosen the lock nut called out in Figure  
84 and rotate the barrel nut until the scale  
matches the blade angle.

3. Use the crosscut fence to cut 12" off of each  
side of the test piece, then cut side 1 again  
(make 5 cuts total).  
Squaring Crosscut  
Fence to Blade  
4. Measure the test piece diagonally from cor-  
ner-to-corner as shown in Figure 85.  
Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures  
that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be  
square. This procedure can be done by using  
a piece of scrap plywood as a test piece and  
making five test cuts, then adjusting the fence as  
necessary.

—If both measurements are not within 16",  
then the crosscut fence needs to be adjust-  
ed. Proceed to Step 6.

— If both measurements are within 16" then  
you are finished with this procedure.  
To square the crosscut fence with the blade:  
5. Loosen the hex nut shown in Figure 86 and  
rotate the hex bolt to square the crosscut  
fence.  
1. Make sure the blade is parallel with the slid-  
ing table.  
2. Prepare the scrap test piece by numbering  
all four sides as shown in Figure 85.
