  • Page 8: Circuit Requirements

    Model G0506/G0507 The Model G0506/G0507 Bandsaw is pre-wired for single-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the Model G0506 2 HP motor draws approx- imately 12 amps. We recommend a 15 amp cir- cuit. This includes a 15 amp circuit breaker, plug, receptacle and wiring rated for at least 15 amps.

  • Page 9: Model G0511

    Model G0511 The Model G0511 Bandsaw is pre-wired for 3- phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the 5 HP motor draws approximately 13 amps. We rec- ommend using a 15 amp circuit, including a 15 amp circuit breaker, plug, receptacle and wiring rated for at least 15 amps.

  • Page 10: Grounding

    Grounding In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is not supplied with an electric cord. A cord with a plug with a grounding pin must be wired into the junction box on the back of the machine.

  • Page 14: Clean Up

    Remove this protective coating with a sol- vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For opti- mum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated.

  • Page 15: Table

    Please refer to the section titled Blade Changes on page 25 to install the blade. Tension the blade enough to keep it on the saw so it does not spring off during the rest of the assembly process. Fence Figure 7. Fence mounted on rail.

  • Page 16: Dust Port

    Dust Port To install the dust port: Place the dust port on the saw as shown in Figure 8. Secure it with the included Phillips head screws. Figure 8. Dust port installed. -14- Guide Post The rack and pinion guide post can be easily raised and lowered.

  • Page 17: Blade Guard

    Blade Guard The blade guard can be adjusted along the sup- port rod to help facilitate adjustments made to the blade guide assembly. The blade guard must be adjusted to the lowest position on the sup- port rod before starting the machine. To move the blade guard: Loosen the hex bolt shown in Figure 9 that secures the blade guard bracket to the guide...

  • Page 18: Blade Tracking

    Blade Tracking Always adjust the blade guides away from the blade before making blade tracking adjustments. The wheels on the Model G0506/G0507/G0511 Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws are crowned and have rubber tires. This style requires center blade tracking for proper operation.
  • Page 19 Support Bearings The support bearings support the back of the blade during the sawing operation. The adjust- ments that can be made to the support bearings are lateral placement and backing placement. Make sure the guide bearings are adjusted away from the blade before making this adjustment.

  • Page 20: Guide Bearings

    Guide Bearings The guide bearings ensure that the blade cannot twist during operation. Perform the steps below for both upper and lower guide bearings. To adjust the guide bearings: Carefully tighten the guide adjustment knobs until the guide bearings just touch the blade on each side as in Figure 17 .

  • Page 21: Table Stop

    Table Stop The positive stop under the table (see Figure 19) allows you to repeatedly square up the table after adjusting the table to another angle. To adjust the positive stop: Loosen the large hex bolt in the center of the table trunnion as described in the “Table Tilt”...

  • Page 22: Foot Brake

    Foot Brake The Model G0506/G0507 and G0511 is supplied with a foot brake. When used, power to the motor is disconnected and as pressure is applied to the pedal, friction forces the blade wheels to come to a halt. The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw wheels and blade instantly.

  • Page 23: Blade Tension

    Blade Tension Proper blade tension is essential to any cutting operation on the bandsaw. Any time you change blades or remove a blade, you must re-adjust the tension. To adjust the tension: Adjust the upper and lower guide bearings so the guide bearings are away from the blade.

  • Page 24: Fence Adjustment

    Get a 1" x 4" x 28" board. Joint one edge per- fectly straight, or rip a narrow strip off the length of the board with a table saw. On the face of the board, draw a straight line parallel to the jointed or ripped edge.

  • Page 25: Operations

    Blade Length Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually unique to the model of your bandsaw and the wheel diameter. The Model G0506 is designed for blades that are 147 The Model G0507/G0511 requires blades that are 160...
  • Page 26 This extra resistance will also cause unnecessary heat. Maintain your blades with a cutting blade lubricant like SLIPIT G5562/3 in the Grizzly Catalog). Blade Breakage Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to break. Blade breakage is unavoidable, in some cases, since it is the natural result of the peculiar stresses that bandsaw blades are subjected to.

  • Page 27: Blade Changes

    Blade Changes Always power to the machine when changing blades. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury. To remove the blade: Disconnect power to the bandsaw! Release the tension on the blade by turning the tension control knob counterclockwise. Remove the upper guide assembly from the support bar by loosening the hex bolt shown in Figure 25 .

  • Page 28: Ripping

    Ripping Ripping is the process of cutting a wide board into two or more narrower boards. The maximum board width that can be ripped is limited by the maximum throat dimension of the bandsaw. For ripping, a wider blade is better. In most rip- ping applications, a standard raker tooth style will be sufficient.

  • Page 29: Resawing

    Use the widest blade that will fit your band- saw. (Your saw has a 1" width capacity). The blade must also be sharp and in good condi- tion. Read “Blade Lead” instructions.

  • Page 30: Maintenance

    To keep table rust free: Use regular applications of products like SLIPIT For long term storage consider using prod- ucts like Boeshield Grizzly catalog for complete list of these products. Table ® ® T-9. See the current 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws...

  • Page 31: Lubrication

    Lubrication The sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings on most of the moving parts of this bandsaw require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. These bearings are standard sizes, and replacements can be purchased from our parts department or a bearing supply store.
