The device described in this manual is the Grizzly Industrial, Inc. Model G0962A40 10" 2 HP Open-Stand Hybrid Table Saw - 40th Anniversary Edition. This is a woodworking machine designed for cutting various wood products and some plastics.
Function Description
The G0962A40 is a hybrid table saw, combining features of cabinet saws and contractor saws. Its primary function is to make precise cuts in workpieces, including rip cuts (cutting with the grain), crosscuts (cutting across the grain), miter cuts (angled crosscuts), bevel cuts (angled edge cuts), dado cuts (flat-bottomed grooves), and rabbet cuts (L-shaped channels along an edge). It can also be used for resawing, though a bandsaw is recommended for this operation. The machine is equipped with a blade guard assembly and a riving knife/spreader for safety during operation, preventing kickback and accidental blade contact.

Usage Features
The table saw features a START/STOP switch with a disabling pin/padlock option for safety. Blade height and tilt are adjusted via handwheels, with corresponding locks and scales for precise settings. The fence system includes a lock handle and a scale window for accurate rip cuts. The machine is designed for use with a blade guard assembly for through cuts and a riving knife for non-through cuts, both crucial for preventing kickback. Push sticks and push blocks are recommended safety accessories, especially for narrow workpieces. The manual also details how to construct shop-made safety accessories like featherboards, an auxiliary fence, and a crosscut sled to enhance safety and accuracy. Voltage conversion to 240V is possible, requiring specific rewiring and plug installation by qualified personnel. A 4" dust port allows connection to a dust collection system for a cleaner and safer work environment.
Maintenance Features
The manual outlines a comprehensive maintenance schedule to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Ongoing: Immediately address loose mounting bolts/arbor nut, damaged saw blade, worn/damaged wires, or any other unsafe condition.
- Weekly: Clean table surface, miter slot grooves, rip fence, and remove pitch/resin from the saw blade. Protect cast-iron surfaces with rust preventative.
- Monthly: Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside the cabinet and off motors. Check/replace the belt for proper tension, damage, or wear.
- Every 6-12 Months: Lubricate trunnion slides, worm gear, bull gear, and leadscrew.
- Adjustments: Detailed instructions are provided for calibrating blade tilt, miter slot to blade parallelism, spreader/riving knife alignment, fence squareness and height, fence handle clamping pressure, fence scale calibration, and table/dado insert adjustment. These adjustments are critical for safe and accurate operation.
- Troubleshooting: A dedicated section helps diagnose and resolve common issues related to motor/electrical components and machine operation.
