SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condi- tion. Conductor size should be in accor- dance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate.
Never force the saw through the cut. Allow the feed cylinder to control the rate of cut- ting. If the saw blade binds or stalls turn the power of immediately. Operating this equipment has the poten- tial to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 110V Operation The Model G1011Z is wired for 110V, single phase operation only. The 1 HP motor will safely draw 16 amps at 110V. A complete Wiring Diagram for the motor and switches is provided near the back of this manual for more information.

Site Considerations FLOOR LOAD Your G1011Z Bandsaw represents a large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial or resi- dential shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the machine. If you have any question about the floor structure being able to support the weight, contact your local city building inspector or a qualified civil engineer or contractor.
2. Open the hydraulic feed rate valve all the way by turning it counterclockwise. 3. The saw bow should come down at a slow steady rate. You should be able to stop its travel with a light upward force from one or two fingers.
Initially proper blade tension can best be achieved by determining the amount of blade deflection: 1. Ensure that the power is off and the saw is unplugged. Slide the blade guide assembly all the way to the left so the blade is fully exposed.
Like any machine of its type, the Model G1011Z has some inherent dangers, which, when used with a lack of care, can result in serious injury or fatality.
A bandsaw blade is a ribbon of steel subjected to tremendous strain. Be sure you use qual- ity blades for the various types of cutting opera- tions. The Grizzly G1011Z bandsaw accepts 1'' x 101" blades. Bandsaw blades can be purchased welded, set, and sharpened ready-for-use from most saw shops.
To remove the blade, ensure the power is discon- nected and raise the saw bow as high as it will 1. Loosen tension on the blade by turning the tension knob. See Figure 10.
There is a by-pass valve on the side of the hydraulic cylinder which is preset at the factory. This by-pass allows the pressure to be relieved if for some reason the saw bow is forced down- ward. Do not attempt to adjust the by-pass valve setting.
Once the material has been secured in the vise, loosen the two knobs on top of the saw bow and slide the moveable guide over as close to the material as possible without interfering with the cut. Tighten the knobs.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE Table The table and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G1011Z should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every use helps to ensure that coolant and chips won’t begin to corrode the working surfaces of the bandsaw.
The gear box should not need changing unless the oil becomes contaminated or leaks. To check the oil, lower the saw bow down all the way and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain down. Open the oil cap on top of the gearbox. The gear case is full when the oil is up to the bottom of the filler hole.
