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.
Use a forklift and straps rated for the machine weight to lift the machine off the pallet and onto a suitable location (see Figure 6). Figure 6. G0592 lifting points. -16- Mounting to Shop Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor.

Blade Selection The Model G0592 uses 132" x 1" bandsaw blades. Selecting the right blade for the job depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of material being cut, hardness of the material, material shape machine capability, and operator technique.
Blade Speed Ft/Min Mtrs/Min Figure 23. Feed rate dial (shown with guard The speed at which the saw blade will cut through a workpiece is controlled by blade type, feed rate, and feed pressure. The feed rate is controlled by two knobs on the control panel.
(see Figure 25). Figure 25. Blade brush. G0592 Metal Cutting Bandsaw Coolant System This bandsaw has a built-in coolant system that extends the life of your bandsaw blades by lower- ing the temperature of the blade and workpiece.

Adjust the valves on the coolant hoses to control the flow of coolant (see Figure 27). Make sure that the pressure is not so high that coolant spills on the floor and creates a slipping hazard. Figure 27. Coolant control valve. -26- G0592 Metal Cutting Bandsaw...

Tracking Proper blade tension is essential to long blade life, straight cuts, and efficient cutting. The Model G0592 features a blade tension indicator to assist you with blade tensioning. Two major signs that you do not have proper blade tension are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and slips on the wheels, and 2) the blade frequently breaks from being too tight.
Adjust the other eccentric blade guide bear- ing in the same manner. Adjust the carbide blade guides so they make the same contact with the blade as the bear- ings. Cap Screws Set Screw Hex Nut Figure 47. More blade guide adjustments. G0592 Metal Cutting Bandsaw...
