Moving & Placing
Table Saw
This machine and its components are heavy. Serious injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.
Get help when lifting or moving the machine and its components. Use a forklift to reduce the risk of a lifting strain or crushing injury.
If a forklift is not available, a MINIMUM of four strong people are required to move this table saw from the pallet. The table saw can be "walked" off the pallet, then moved into place with a dolly or by sliding it. An additional option would be to put the saw on a Model G7315Z mobile base, so it can be easily moved around the shop (see Page 56).
To remove the saw from the pallet:
1.Remove the motor cover
2.Feed the lifting straps around the lifting red bolts on the back of the table and the sliding table saw mounts on the front of the cabinet (see Figure 8). Attach the ends of the lifting straps to the forklift forks.

3.Lift the table saw cabinet only as high as nec- essary to clear the pallet, and move it to the desired location.
DO NOT lift the table saw any higher than necessary to clear the floor. Serious per- sonal injury and damage to the machine may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.
4.Remove the red lifting bolts from the back of the table.
5.Place a level on the cast iron table to level the table saw cabinet side to side and front to back. This will allow the table to slide smoothly.
Note: There are three options for leveling the
saw: 1) Place it on a mobile base (Grizzly Model G7315Z) and use the mobile base adjustable feet to level it, 2) shim under the cabinet, and 3) thread bolts down into the nuts that are welded on the inside stand cor- ners (see Figure 9).
