Saw, you should give it a thorough inspection.
While making your inspection, ask yourself the
following questions:
1. Are all the fasteners tight?
2. Is the blade mounted correctly and securely?
3. Is the saw stable?
4. Is it wired properly?
5. Is your electrical system properly config-
ured?
6. Have you checked your material for obvious
defects?
7. Are the V-belts properly tensioned and the
pulleys properly aligned?
8. Is the guard assembly installed and function-
al?
Test run
The table saw is one of the most valuable tools in
the woodshop because it performs its duties so
well. It is primarily intended to rip and crosscut
and we will describe those operations in the fol-
lowing sections. For other uses, we suggest con-
sulting a book dedicated to the table saw. Many
are available through the Grizzly catalog.
1. Face the table saw and stand to the left of
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 it off in case of mishap.
3. Watch and listen to the saw. Note whether
there are any unusual sounds or excessive
vibrations.
4. If ANYTHING appears abnormal, immedi-
ately turn off the saw and fix the problem. If
a problem exists that is beyond the scope of
this manual, call the appropriate service
department.
5. If the saw is behaving normally, turn it off and
prepare to make a cut according to the
instructions outlined in the following sec-
tions.
