Grizzly G5959Z instruction manual Blade Alignment

Blade Alignment

If the blade contacts the table insert when raised or tilted, the blade must be aligned. The easiest way is to move the table. If moving the table does not work, adjust the trunnion assembly. If that does not work, move the arbor bracket.

To adjust the blade by moving the table:

1.Disconnect the table saw from the power source.

2.Loosen the four table mounting bolts and adjust the table until the blade does not con- tact the insert. Tighten all the mounting bolts.

3.Make sure the blade does not contact the table insert when raised or tilted. Recheck splitter alignment and parallelism of the blade to the miter slot. Adjust as necessary.

To adjust the blade by moving the trunnion:

1.Disconnect the table saw from the power source.

2.Get assistance to remove the table and wings and set them to one side.

3.Loosen the four trunnion mounting bolts as shown in Figure 30, and adjust the trunnion.

2.Loosen the blade adjustment cap screw shown in Figure 31.

3.To adjust the arbor bracket, loosen the cap screw and the setscrew. Slowly slide the arbor bracket towards the end of the shaft.

4.Moving the arbor bracket moves the V-belts and pulleys out of alignment, so adjustment of the motor pulley is required. Loosen the setscrew and slowly slide the pulley towards the end of the motor shaft. Once the V-belts are back into alignment, tighten the setscrew securely.

5.Reattach the table and tighten all the mount- ing bolts.

6.Make sure the blade does not contact the table insert when raised or tilted. Recheck splitter alignment and parallelism of the blade to the miter slot. Adjust as necessary.
