LubricationTable

The sealed ball bearings in the motor and throughout the Model G1023Z Series require no maintenance during their lifetime. When they do wear out, replacements can be obtained through the Grizzly Parts Department.

Lubricate the areas indicated below every 12 months:

BLADE ANGLING TRUNNIONÑThe front and back trunnions each have a semi-circle groove that needs to be lubricated with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

BLADE HEIGHT TRUNNIONÑThe blade height trunnion pivots on a steel rod. This should be lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.

WORM GEARSÑThese should be lubricated with an automotive wheel bearing grease.

The table is made from cast iron. If preventative measures are not taken, the table surface will rust. Regularly wipe sawdust from the table to prevent rust causing moisture from becoming trapped against the table. Regular applications of products like SLIPIT¨ will prevent rust as the saw is used on a daily basis. For long term storage, use products such as Boeshield T-9¨. Both of these products are available in the Grizzly catalog.

V-Belt

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 timeÑeven 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.

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:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source!

2.With moderate pressure, push the center of each V-belt.

3.Note the amount of deflection. Deflection should be approximately 1Ú2", similar to
