  • Page 9: Site Considerations

    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.
  • Page 12: Tension/Tracking

    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.

  • Page 15: Operations

    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.
  • Page 16: Blade Selection

    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.
  • Page 17: Changing Blades

    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.

  • Page 19: Adjusting Feed Rate

    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.
  • Page 20: Guide Adjustment

    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.
  • Page 21: Maintenance Table

    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.
  • Page 22: Lubrication

    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.
