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 exten-  
sion 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  
reconnecting.  
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.

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 func-  
tion. Check for alignment of moving parts,  
binding 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.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also  
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is  
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact  
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.  
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN  
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE  
OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental  
alertness 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 UNTRAINED PERSON-  
NEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE

Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws  
8. NEVER use the miter gauge and rip fence  
at the same time. Move the rip fence out of  
the way when crosscutting.  
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.  
9. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade  
without first turning the saw OFF.  
10. PROVIDE adequate support to the rear  
and sides of the saw table for wide or long  
workpieces.  
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.  
11. AVOID awkward operations and hand  
positions where a sudden slip could cause  
your hand to move into the blade.  
3. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the  
miter gauge or fence while holding down  
against the table.  
12. 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.  
4. ALWAYS use a push-stick for ripping nar-  
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.  
13. ALWAYS LOWER OR REMOVE SAW  
BLADE WHEN NOT IN USE.  
14. NEVER USE A DAMAGED SAW BLADE  
OR ONE THAT HAS BEEN DROPPED.  
6. NEVER stand or have any part of your  
15. DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS  
PRESENT SPECIFIC DANGER because  
those operations must be performed with  
the blade guard removed. Be especially  
aware of your personal safety whenever  
operating saw with the guard removed,  
and always immediately replace the blade  
guard after these operations are complete.  
body in line with the path of the saw blade.  
7. NEVER reach behind or over the blade  
with either hand while the saw is running. If  
kickback occurs, that hand will be pulled  
into the spinning blade.  
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-  
ciated with table saws. Accidents are fre-  
quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail-  
ure to pay attention. Use this tool with  
respect and caution to lessen the possibil-  
ity of operator injury. If normal safety pre-  
cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious  
personal injury may occur.  
No list of safety guidelines can be com-  
plete. Operating this machinery may require  
additional safety precautions specific to  
your shop environment. Failure to use rea-  
sonable caution while operating this  
machine could result in serious personal  
injury.

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 pulled into the  
blade during the kickback. The following  
can help minimize kickbacks.  
Push Sticks  
The use of push sticks, particularly when cutting  
small or narrow workpieces, provides a double  
benefit for saw operators. The push stick pro-  
vides added leverage, enabling the operator to  
keep the workpiece firmly supported against the  
fence and the table. At the same time, the push  
stick keeps the operator’s hand safely away from  
the rotation of the saw blade. See the template at  
the end of the manual for construction details, or  
purchase one from the Grizzly catalog. See  
Figure 1.  
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 for alignment along the splitter  
and your blade.  
4. Never use the fence as a guide for  
crosscutting.  
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 that your fence and your miter  
slot are parallel to the blade.  
If you do not have a clear understanding of  
kickback and how it occurs, do not operate  
this table saw.  
Figure 1. Push Stick.  
Zero Clearance Table Inserts  
Ideal for use when ripping thin strips or making  
bevel cuts, zero clearance table inserts prevent  
tear-out and jammed blades by supporting mate-  
rial that is close to the blade. Use the standard  
table insert as a template when creating addition-  
al 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. There are  
also a wide selection of table inserts in the Grizzly  
catalog. Clamp 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. See Figure 2 for examples of zero clear-  
ance table inserts.

Featherboards  
Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards pro-  
vide an added degree of protection against kick-  
back. To make a featherboard, cut a 30-40° angle  
at one end of the board, and make a number of  
1
end cuts at approximately 4" apart and 2" to 3"  
deep. There are a number of featherboards in the  
Grizzly catalog. See Figure 4.  
Figure 2. Zero Clearance Table Inserts  
Push Paddles  
Push paddles (shown in Figure 3) provide added  
leverage and support when ripping or crosscut-  
ting wide workpieces. There are a number of  
push paddles in the Grizzly catalog.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS  
220V Single-Phase  
Grounding  
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,  
grounding provides electric current a path of least  
resistance 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.  
The Model G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10"  
Table Saw has a 3 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 18 amps at 220V under load. If  
you operate the Model G1023SL/G1023SLX 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.  
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.  
In  
preparing  
to  
connect  
the  
Model  
G1023SL/G1023SLX to your existing or new cir-  
cuit, connect a plug that matches your 220V  
receptacle as long as it is rated to 20 amps or  
more. If you will be installing a new receptacle and  
plug, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-20  
plug and outlet shown in Figure 5.  
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.  
The Model G1023SL/G1023SLX should be fused  
at 20 amps. Fusing at amperage ratings higher  
than 20 amps will not adequately protect the cir-  
cuit. Also be sure that the wiring in your circuit is  
rated to handle 20 amps.

Extension Cords  
Wiring  
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. Should it  
be necessary to use an extension, make sure the  
cord is rated Standard Service (grade S) or bet-  
ter. 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 damaged.  
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 neces-  
sarily 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  
The table and other unpainted parts of the Model  
G1023SL/G1023SLX are coated with a waxy  
grease that protects 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 surface, you will ruin the finish.  
G1023SL/G1023SLX represents a large  
weight load in a small footprint. Most com-  
mercial floors are suitable for the saw. Some  
residential floors may require additional  
bracing to support both machine and opera-  
tor.  
2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and  
anticipated needs, size of material to be  
processed through each machine, and  
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or  
other machinery when establishing a loca-  
tion for your table saw.  
Do not use gasoline or  
other petroleum-based  
solvents to clean with.  
They have low flash  
points which make them  
extremely flammable. A  
risk of explosion and  
burning exists if these  
products are used.  
Serious personal injury  
may occur.  
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  
Extension Wings  
Keep clothing rolled up  
and out of the way of  
machinery and keep  
hair pulled back.  
Inspect the extension wings for burrs or foreign  
material that may inhibit assembly. The mating  
edges of the wings and the table must be clean,  
smooth, and flat. Use a wire brush or file if nec-  
essary to clean up the edges. For the Model  
G1023SLX, only follow the left wing instructions.  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any maintenance or  
assembly. Failure to do  
this may result in serious  
personal injury.  
The table and the wings  
represent a very heavy  
load. DO NOT over-exert  
yourself while lifting or  
moving the table and the  
wings – get assistance.  
1. Attach the left wing to the table using the  
three hex head bolts and the flat washers  
provided. Adjust the wing reasonably flush  
with the table. Do not tighten the bolts.  
Wear safety glasses dur-  
ing the entire assembly  
process. Failure to com-  
ply may result in serious  
personal injury.  
2. Attach the right wing to the table using the  
three hex head bolts and the flat washers  
provided. 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.  
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.  
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.  
Most of your Model G1023SL/G1023SLX has  
been assembled 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.  
5. Raise or lower the rear of the wing until the  
wing and table are flush. Tighten the bolt.  
Any adjustment at this point should be mini-  
mal.  
6. Check flushness over the front bolt and re-  
TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a high quality  
square, a long straightedge, 10mm, 12mm,  
14mm open end wrenches and a 3mm Allen®  
wrench.  
adjust if necessary.  
7. Repeat Steps 3-4 for the other extension  
wing.

8. 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 the straightedge  
does not contact them evenly, continue to  
Step 9.  
Switch  
The switch comes prewired to the motor and can  
be easily mounted to the table through the holes  
in the extension wing.  
To mount the switch:  
9. If the extension wings tilt up or down at the  
outside edges, remove the wings and shim  
them with masking tape similar to Figure 9.  
1. Line the switch bracket holes up with the  
holes in the extension wing on the backside  
of the edge.  
a. If the wings tilt down, stick layers of mask-  
ing tape under each bolt near the bottom  
edge of the wing and retighten.  
2. Use the 516"-18 Phillips® flat head screw and  
nut to attach the switch to the extension wing  
as shown in Figure 10.  
b. If the wing tilts up, stick layers of masking  
tape above each bolt near the top edge of  
the wing and retighten. Allow the tape to  
extend above table surface and trim with  
a sharp knife after final assembly.  
3. Mount the switch brace between the lower  
switch screw and the table screw.  
10. Replace the wings and check again.

2. Ensure that all four setscrews are firmly in  
Handwheel  
contact with the table casting.  
3. Using a 6mm hex wrench, raise or lower  
each of the four setscrews shown in Figure  
15 until the insert is flush with the table top.  
Use a straightedge to make sure the table  
insert is flush with the top of the table.  
One handwheel has been removed for shipping.  
To install, place the handwheel over the threads  
and screw the lock knob into the center. Next  
insert the handle into the handwheel and tighten  
it as shown in Figure 14. Install the other handle  
onto the other handwheel.  
4. Now make sure the blade will not come into  
contact with the table insert. Position the  
blade at 90°, then raise and lower the blade  
through its full range of motion. Also, rotate  
the blade, making sure that the blade never  
contacts any part of the table insert. Do the  
same with the blade in the 45° position. Wear  
leather gloves while rotating the blade to pre-  
vent being cut.  
NOTICE  
The table insert must be flush with the top  
of the table or the workpiece will hit the  
edge of the table insert at the beginning of  
the cut.

Table Insert  
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. If the blade splitter is to the right of the blade  
as shown in Figure 20, simply add washers  
between the splitter and the front mounting  
bracket, and adjust the rear splitter support  
as shown in Figure 21.  
Figure 18. Blade splitter square to table.  
The saw blade is extremely sharp. Use extra  
care when handling the blade or working  
near it. Serious injury is possible.  
3. Next, set a straightedge against the face of  
the saw blade and the blade splitter as  
shown in Figure 19. If the blade splitter is  
properly aligned, please skip ahead to the  
“Table Insert” instructions; otherwise, contin-  
ue with the next step.

5. Recheck the splitter alignment to the blade  
and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and  
tighten all the bolts before use. If the blade  
guard is properly aligned, please skip ahead  
to step 10; otherwise, continue with the next  
step.  
Adjustment 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. See Figure 21  
for adjustment details. Loosen the (2) adjust-  
ment screws and move left or right.  
Arbor Bracket  
Figure 22. Arbor bracket adjustment locations.  
7. If this adjustment does not allow enough  
movement of the splitter, remove the table  
and wings, and set them to one side.  
9. Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts  
and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment  
of the motor pulley is required. Simply loosen  
the setscrew in the middle groove of the pul-  
ley, and slowly slide the pulley toward the  
end of the motor shaft. Once the V-belts are  
back in alignment, tighten the setscrew  
securely.  
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.  
10. Recheck the guard alignment to the blade  
and to the table top. Adjust as necessary and  
tighten down all the bolts before use. If the  
blade guard is properly aligned, re-attach the  
table, making sure there is adequate blade  
clearance through all blade adjustments.  
8. The arbor bracket and motor pulley needs  
adjusting. Loosen the adjustment bolt shown  
in Figure 22, and slowly slide the arbor  
bracket towards the end of the shaft. Only  
move the arbor bracket a distance equal to  
the amount of misalignment between the  
blade and the splitter, or a little more. You  
can always adjust the splitter back to the left  
with washers. Tighten the adjustment bolt  
securely.  
11. Adjust the blade to 45°. Raise and lower it  
through the full range. Re-adjust the blade to  
90°, then raise and lower it through the full  
range. There should be no contact between  
the blade, the base, the table insert, or any  
other part of the saw. If there is contact,  
repeat steps 7-9.

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS  
Blade Tilt  
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. Set your blade angle at zero as shown on the  
angle indicator on the front of the saw and  
raise the blade several inches above the  
table.  
2. Place a machinist’s square flat on the table  
and slide it alongside the blade. The square  
should contact the blade evenly from bottom  
to top. Make sure that a blade tooth does not  
obstruct the movement of the square.  
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 to allow a 90° stop point. See  
Figure 23 for details.  
Wear safety glasses  
during the entire adjust-  
ment process. Failure  
to comply 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. 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  
90° Stop Bolt  
1
4" above the surface of the material you plan on  
cutting. The handwheel at the front of the saw  
adjusts the blade height. To adjust the blade  
height:  
1. Loosen the locking knob at the center of the  
45° Stop Bolt  
blade height handwheel.  
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.  
Figure 23. Geared trunnion.  
4. Recheck your blade height with the sample  
material and re-adjust, if necessary.

6. If the blade tip does not touch the end of the  
adjustable square similar to the first mea-  
surement, then the table will need to be  
adjusted.  
Miter Slot to Blade  
Your table saw will give the best results if the  
miter slot and the rip fence are adjusted parallel  
to the blade. If either of these are not exactly par-  
allel, your cuts and your finished work will be  
lower in quality, but more important, this condition  
increases the risk of kickback. Take the time to  
adjust your table saw properly. A few minutes  
now will be time well spent.  
7. To adjust the table, loosen the four bolts in  
the table mounting locations (see Figure 25)  
and slightly tap the table. Repeat Steps 1-5  
until satisfactory. Do not forget to tighten the  
table mounting bolts when finished.  
1. Disconnect plug from power source.  
2. Use an adjustable square to measure the  
distance from the miter slot to a carbide tip  
on the blade as shown in Figure 24. Make  
sure that the face of the adjustable square is  
even along the miter slot.  
Table Mounting Locations  
3. With the end of the adjustable square just  
touching the tip, lock the square in place.  
Now, mark the carbide tip with a magic mark-  
er where you made this measurement.  
Figure 25. Table mounting bolt holes.  
4. Rotate that tip to the other end of the table  
insert.  
8. Now check to see if the blade remains paral-  
lel to the miter slot when tilted to 45°.  
5. Slide the adjustable square down to the  
other end of the table insert, and compare  
the distance from the marked blade tip to the  
end of the adjustable square.  
9. 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.  
10. If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at  
90° but not at 45°, the table will need to be  
shimmed with metal shim stock. The shims  
are placed under the table over each of the  
four table mounting bolts.  
The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use  
extra care when handling the blade or  
working near it. Serious injury is possible.

11. Refer to Figures 26 and 27, 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.  
12. 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 26. Shim procedure diagram A.  
13. Now recheck the blade to miter slot at 90°  
and 45° by repeating Steps 1-5. If the dis-  
tance of A and B are equal, continue to the  
“Miter Gauge” instructions. If the distances  
are still off, repeat Steps 9-12.  
14. Once you feel you have the miter slot 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  
reassemble exactly how it came apart.

4. Reattach the table, making sure there is ade-  
quate blade clearance through all blade  
adjustments. Recheck guard alignment to  
the blade and to the table top. Adjust as nec-  
essary and tighten down all the bolts before  
use.  
Blade Alignment  
The blade position can be adjusted slightly in  
case it contacts the table insert when raised or  
tilted. This adjustment can be made either by  
moving the whole trunnion assembly, or by just  
moving the arbor bracket. Try adjusting by mov-  
ing the whole trunnion first, this is the easier of  
the two ways.  
5. If the blade is still contacting the insert,  
repeat Steps 1-4. Check all other adjust-  
ments.  
6. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments,  
and adjust as necessary.  
To adjust the blade position by moving the  
trunnion:  
1. Disconnect plug from power source.  
Adjustment Bolt  
2. Remove the table and wings and set them to  
one side.  
3. Loosen the four trunnion mounting bolts as  
shown in Figure 28, and nudge to either the  
left or the right depending on where the  
blade is hitting the saw.  
Arbor Bracket  
Figure 29. Adjusting arbor bracket.  
To adjust the blade position by moving the  
arbor bracket:  
1. Disconnect plug from power source.  
2. Remove the table and wings and set them to  
one side.  
3. Loosen the adjustment bolt shown in Figure  
29.  
Figure 28. Trunnion mounting bolts.  
4. To adjust the arbor bracket, loosen the  
adjustment bolt. Slowly slide the arbor brack-  
et towards the end of the shaft.  
The table and wings rep-  
resent a very heavy  
load. DO NOT over-  
exert yourself while lift-  
ing or moving the table  
and wings – get assis-  
tance.  
NOTICE  
If you make the adjustment described in  
this section, check and adjust the blade  
splitter to make sure it aligns with the  
blade.  
-24-

5. Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts  
and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment  
of the motor pulley is required. Simply loosen  
the setscrew in the middle motor groove pul-  
ley and slowly slide the pulley towards the  
end of the motor shaft. Once the V-belts are  
back in alignment, tighten the setscrew  
securely.  
2. Adjust the miter body until there is no space  
between the square and the blade. Tighten  
the lock knob.  
3. With the stop link in the up position, loosen  
the jam nut and adjust the stop screw until it  
is seated against the stop link. See Figure  
30 for part locations.  
6. Reattach the table, making sure there is ade-  
quate blade clearance through all blade  
adjustments. Recheck guard alignment to  
the blade and to the table top. Adjust as nec-  
essary and tighten down all the bolts before  
use.  
4. Now loosen the setscrew on the left front  
side of the miter bar, adjust the pointer to 90°  
and tighten the setscrew.  
5. To adjust to 45°, follow Steps 1-4 using an  
adjustable square set to 45°.  
7. If the blade is still contacting the insert,  
repeat Steps 1-6. Check all other adjust-  
ments.  
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.  
8. Recheck the blade to miter slot adjustments,  
and adjust as necessary.  
The miter bar can be adjusted so that it fits tighter  
in the miter slot. To do this, turn the adjustment  
setscrew shown in Figure 30 clockwise. Turn the  
adjustment setscrew in small increments at a  
time so you do not over-adjust the miter bar.  
Rip Fence  
The rip fence included with your Model  
G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10" Table Saw

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS  
Pre-Run Check  
Keep loose clothing out  
of the way of machinery  
and keep hair pulled  
back.  
Before you begin to use your Model  
G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10" Table Saw,  
you should give it a thorough inspection. While  
making your inspection, ask yourself the follow-  
ing questions:  
1. Are all the fasteners tight?  
2. Is the blade mounted correctly?  
3. Is the saw stable?  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
4. Is it wired properly?  
5. Is your electrical system properly config-  
ured?  
Wear safety glasses dur-  
ing all operations on the  
shaper. Failure to com-  
ply may result in serious  
personal injury.  
6. Have you checked your workpiece for obvi-  
ous defects?  
7. Are the V-belts properly tensioned and the  
pulleys properly aligned?  
8. Is the guard assembly installed and func-  
tional?  
Always wear  
a
dust  
mask when operating  
the table saw. Using this  
machine produces saw-  
dust which may cause  
allergic reactions or res-  
piratory problems.  
9. Have you checked the saw blade clearance  
when it is adjusted to varying angles and  
depths?  
10. Have you read all the warnings and direc-  
tions regarding the operation of this  
machine?  
NOTICE  
The following section was designed to give  
instructions on the basic operations of this  
table saw. However, it is in no way compre-  
hensive of every table saw application. There  
are many different jigs that can be built to  
increase safety, accuracy, and types of cuts.  
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read  
books, trade magazines, or get formal train-  
ing to maximize the potential of your table  
saw.

Test Run  
Blade Selection  
1. Face the table saw and stand to the left of  
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.  
Below are the most common saw blades and  
their uses.  
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 the saw off in case of a  
mishap.  
1. Rip Blade (shown in Figure 31): Used for  
cutting with the grain. Typically, 10" rip  
blades have between 20-40 teeth, a flat-top  
ground profile (see Figure 32 for saw tooth  
profiles) and large gullets to allow for large  
chip removal.  
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, unplug it, and fix the prob-  
lem. If a problem exists that is beyond the  
scope of this manual, call our service depart-  
ment.  
5. If the saw is behaving normally, turn it off and  
prepare to make a cut according to the  
instructions outlined in this section.

2. Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across  
the grain. 10" 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  
33.  
Figure 34. Combination blade.  
4. Plywood Blade: Used for cutting plywood or  
veneers. A 10" plywood blade will have 40-  
80 teeth, a steep alternate top bevel tooth  
profile and very shallow gullet. See Figure  
35.  
Figure 33. 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  
10" combination blade will typically have  
between 40-50 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, simi-  
lar to a cross-cut blade; then large and deep  
between the groups, like a ripping blade.  
See Figure 34.

5. Thin-kerf: Most types of saw blades are  
available in a thin-kerf style. Designed pri-  
marily to minimize stock waste, thin-kerf  
blades be used in conjunction with a blade  
stabilizer to reduce blade wobble. Note:  
Most blade guards/splitters are thicker than  
most thin-kerf blades. Make sure that the  
stock will pass by the guard/splitter before  
beginning a cut.  
2. Inspect the miter gauge. Is it properly set and  
tight? Move the rip fence completely out of  
the way.  
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 into the blade  
(See Figure 36) and through the workpiece.  
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.  
5. Turn off the saw and allow the blade to come  
to a full stop.  
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 dangerous  
and required training beyond the scope of  
this manual.  
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.  
Figure 36. Cross-cut operation.  
Small cutoff pieces can contact the moving  
blade and be thrown back toward the oper-  
ator. Always use the least amount of clear-  
ance between the table insert and the blade  
to reduce the risk of injury from these  
pieces. Never attempt to grab these pieces  
while the table saw is turned on. Your hand  
may come into contact with the blade. Turn  
the table saw off and safely remove these  
pieces AFTER the blade has come to a com-  
plete stop or use a long scrap piece of wood  
to carefully move them away from the spin-  
ning blade.  
Crosscutting  
Crosscutting means cutting across the grain of  
the wood. In wood products without grain (i.e.  
MDF, particleboard) crosscutting simply means  
cutting across the width of the stock.  
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.  
G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw  
-29-  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 and through  
the workpiece. 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:  
1. Inspect the board for soundness. You will  
need a straightedge to rip with accuracy.  
Your workpiece may need to be jointed flat  
before attempting to cut on the table saw.  
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.  
Figure 37. Do not stand directly behind wood!  
2. Set the rip fence to the desired distance from  
the blade. IF YOU ARE MAKING NARROW  
CUTS, USE A PUSH-STICK. Serious injury  
can occur if you put your hands close to the  
blade. A push-stick pattern has been includ-  
ed in this manual 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 workpiece fully past the blade.  
When a small width is to be ripped and a  
push-stick cannot be safely put between the  
blade and rip fence, rip a larger piece to  
obtain the desired piece.  
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.

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 stacking or wobbling dado  
blades. See 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, and  
regular saw blade.  
3. Attach and adjust the dado blade system as  
recommended in the dado blade’s 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, the 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  
follow these directions could result in seri-  
ous injury will result.  
7. Reconnect the saw to the power source.  
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.  
8. Using a scrap as a test piece, switch on the  
saw and take a pass over the dado blade.  
9. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your fin-  
ish stock.  
10. Re-install the blade guard.

Dadoing operations can also be accomplished  
using a conventional saw blade. To create a sin-  
gle-blade dado:  
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 like the one  
shown in Figure 38.  
2. Set the blade height to the depth of cut you  
wish to create.  
Proper rabbet operation 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 for rabbeting operations:  
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. See Figure  
39.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE  
General  
V-Belt  
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model  
G1023SL/G1023SLX will ensure its optimum per-  
formance. Make a habit of inspecting your  
machine each time you use it. Check for the fol-  
lowing 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 the proper tension.  
When replacing V-belts, replace all three at the  
same time —even if they do not all appear worn.  
Belt tension should be checked at least every 3  
months; more often if using the table saw inten-  
sively.
