Here are some ways to pro- tect yourself if kickback DOES occur: Statistics show 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 operator.
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Electrocution, equipment damage may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and connected to the power supply. Full-Load Current Rating Full-Load Current Rating at 220V ... 8 Amps Full-Load Current Rating at 110V ... 16 Amps Circuit Information For your own safety and protection of property, consult a qualified electrician if...
Grounding Requirements For 220V operation: GROUNDED 6-20 RECEPTACLE 6-20 PLUG Figure 2. For 110V operation: GROUNDED 5-20 RECEPTACLE 5-20 PLUG Figure 3. Serious injury could occur if you connect the machine to power before completing the setup process. DO NOT connect to power until instructed later in this manual.
SECTION 3: SETUP This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manu- al to become familiar with the controls and opera- tions before starting the machine! Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire setup pro- cess! This machine and its com- ponents are very heavy.

Cleanup Before cleaning, gather the following: Basic steps for removing rust preventative: Steps 2–3 Gasoline or products with low flash points can explode or cause fire if used to clean machin- ery. Avoid cleaning with these products. Many cleaning solvents are toxic if concentrat- ed amounts are inhaled.

Figure 20 Figure 20. Installation Page 31. Figure 21. Note: Make sure the cam foot contacts the cam on the fence lock handle before you place the fence on the rail; otherwise, the fence will not lock onto the rail tube. Note: It is permissible for the back of the fence to pivot outward not more than being parallel with the miter slot.
Dust Collection DO NOT operate the Model G0715P without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness. Components and Hardware Needed:...

Blade Installation To install the blade: Before proceeding with the next step, wear gloves to protect your hands while handling and installing the blade. Figure 36. Note: The arbor nut has right hand threads; turn it counterclockwise to loosen. Figures 37. Figure 37.
Blade Guard Assembly Figure 38 Figure 38. Guard Spreader In order to work properly, the spreader cannot be bent or misaligned with the blade. If the spreader gets accidentally bent, take the time to straighten it or just replace it. Using a bent or misaligned spreader will increase the risk of kickback! Refer to Page 66 to check or adjust alignment if...
Page 36
Disabling Pawls We do not recommend disabling the pawls during normal operations unless absolutely necessary. In most situations, disabling the pawls will increase your risk of serious per- sonal injury in the event of a kickback. The pawls are sharp and can lacerate fingers or hands.
Riving Knife Figure 44 Figure 44. Figure 45 Figure 45 To ensure that the riving knife works safe- ly, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to the blade. Refer to Page 66 to check or adjust the riving knife alignment. How to Install the Riving Knife Guard Page 32...

Failure to heed this warning could result in serious injury. Installing a Dado Blade Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size...
Cutting Dadoes with a Dado Blade Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to the depth and width of the cut. To minimize your risk of serious personal injury, ensure that stock is flat and straight, and make multiple light cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve...

Workpieces that are too tall to properly support with the fence can easily shift dur- ing operation and cause kickback. Instead, place the stock flat on the saw and perform the rabbet cut with a dado blade, as instruct- ed on Page 41.

Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury. Note: To determine the maximum resawing height for this table saw, find the maximum blade height, ⁄ ". then double it and subtract...
Auxiliary Fence Components Needed for the Auxiliary Fence: Only use furniture-grade plywood, kiln dried hardwood, or HDPE plastic to prevent warping. Tools Needed for the Auxiliary Fence: To build the auxiliary fence: Step 1 Figure 60 Figure 60. Resawing Operations Components Needed for Resawing: You may experience kickback during this procedure.
Page 47
Always use push sticks or push paddles to increase safety and control during opera- tions which require that the blade guard and spreader must be removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after resawing is complete. Figure 62. Steps 7–9...
We recommend using a bandsaw for making fingers in the next step because it tends to be safer. A table saw can be used, but it will over-cut the underside of the ends, produce a thicker kerf, and require you to stop the blade half-way through the cut, which can be dangerous.
Page 49
Figure 64 Figure 64. Figure 65 Tip: Consider making the miter bar longer for larger featherboards—approximately half the length of the total featherboard—to support the force applied to the featherboard during use. Figure 65. Figure 66. Note: The routed slot, countersink hole, and the flat head screw are essential for the miter bar to clamp into the miter slot.

Mounting Featherboards w/Clamps Figure 67 Figure 67. Figure 67 Step 5 Mounting Featherboard in Miter Slot Figure 68 Figure 68. Step 4 Note: The featherboard should be placed firmly enough against the workpiece to keep it against the fence but not so tight that it is difficult to feed the workpiece.
Narrow-Rip Auxiliary Fence & Push Block Material Needed for Narrow Rip Auxiliary Fence & Push Block Material Needed for Push Block Making a Narrow-Rip Push Block for an Auxiliary Fence Figure 75. Note: We recommend cutting the hardwood board oversize, then jointing and planing it to the correct size to make sure the board is square and flat.
Figure 78 Figure 79. Figure 80 Figure 80 Turn OFF the saw and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the cut-off piece. Failure to follow this warn- ing could result in serious personal injury.
To minimize this risk, only install accessories recommended for this machine by Grizzly. NOTICE Refer to the newest copy of the Grizzly Catalog for other accessories available for this machine. G7314Z—Heavy-Duty Base Figure 83.
