SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS Operation Serious personal injury could occur if you connect the machine to the power source before you have completed the set up pro- cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so. Amperage Draw The motor for your machine may draw the follow- ing amps at maximum load.
Figure 5. NEMA 6-20 plug and receptacle. Figure 6. NEMA L15-20 plug and receptacle. This machine must have a ground prong in the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
SECTION 3: SET UP Set Up Safety This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manu- al to become familiar with the controls and opera- tions before starting the machine! Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire set up pro- cess! This is an extremely heavy machine.
Inventory After all the parts have been removed from the crate, you should have the following items: Crate Contents (Figure 7 & 8): A. Bandsaw (not shown) ... 1 B. Table ... 1 C. Miter Gauge ... 1 D. Back Square Tube ... 1 E.
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.
Moving & Placing Base Unit This is an extremely heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed. To be safe, you will need assistance and a forklift or a hoist when removing the machine from the crate. Use a chain or a lifting strap with a minimum of 1000 lbs.
Table The table is heavy and requires two people to lift it onto the trunnions. The saw blade should also be removed to make table installation easier. Components and Hardware Needed: Table ... 1 Hex Bolts M8-1.25 x 16 ... 4 Lock Washers 8mm ...
Page 51.) The wheels on this bandsaw were aligned at the factory, so Center Tracking is the only adjust- ment that needs to be performed when the saw is new. To center track the blade: DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER! Make sure the upper and lower blade guides are adjusted away from the blade.
Figure 18. Blade tracking controls. G0513X/G0514X/G0514X3 Extreme Series Bandsaw Positive Stop Personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjust- ments. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing table adjust- ments. The positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accurately returned to the horizontal (0˚) position after being adjusted to a different angle.
-24- Dust Collection DO NOT operate this bandsaw without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collec- tion system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.
Slide the resaw fence over the moving plate, as shown in Figure 25, so the moving plate fits inside the channel of the resaw fence. Resaw Fence Lock Handle Figure 25. Attaching resaw fence to standard fence. Tighten the lock handle. Pull the fence handle up and place the fence assembly on the fixed rail as shown in Figure Figure 26.
Tensioning Blade A properly tensioned blade is essential for mak- ing accurate cuts and is required before mak- ing many bandsaw adjustments. (Everytime you replace the blade, you should perform this proce- dure because all blades tension differently.) To tension the bandsaw blade: Complete the Test Run procedure and make sure the blade is tracking properly.
Page 38
Bandsaw Blade Top View Figure 28. Blade should be perpendicular (90˚) to the face of the support bearing. Tighten the assembly cap screw. Loosen the cap screw on the support bearing adjustment shaft. Place a 0.016" feeler gauge between the support bearing and the blade, and position the bearing 0.016"...
Check to make sure the guide block assem- bly is perpendicular with the face of the sup- port bearing as illustrated in Figure 28. —If the guide block assembly is perpen- dicular to the face of the support bearing, continue on to the next step. —If the guide block assembly is not per- pendicular to the support bearing, loosen the guide block assembly cap screws and...
NOTICE Make sure that the blade teeth will not con- tact the guide bearings when the blade is against the rear support bearing during the cut or the blade teeth will be ruined. Tighten the cap screw on the lateral adjust- ment rod.
Aligning Fence To ensure cutting accuracy when the fence is first installed, the fence should be aligned with the miter slot. To align the fence parallel with the miter slot: If the fence is mounted on the left-hand side of the blade, remove it and remount it next to the miter slot.
OMMEND that you read books, trade maga- zines, or get formal training before begin- ning any projects. Regardless of the con- tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training. -32-...
Fine Tune Tracking NOTICE Adjusting the final blade tracking setting requires the machine to be turned ON. To fine tune the tracking: Close the wheel covers and turn the bandsaw Observe the blade tracking path through the clear window on the right edge of the bandsaw as shown in Figure 40.
Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with- out moving it. Now slide the fence over to the board so it barely touches one end of the board. Loosen the four cap screws on top of the fence. Skew the fence so it is parallel to the edge of the scrap piece.
Ripping Ripping is the process of cutting with the grain of the wood stock. For plywood and other pro- cessed wood, ripping simply means cutting down the length of the workpiece. To make a rip cut: Adjust the fence to match the width of the cut on your workpiece and lock the fence in place.
In most applications, a hook or a skip tooth style will be desirable. Choose blades with fewer teeth-per-inch (from 3 to 6), because they offer larger gullet capacities for clearing saw- dust, reducing heat buildup and reducing strain on the motor.
Cutting Curves When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows the layout line without twisting. If a curve is so abrupt that it is necessary to repeatedly back up and cut a new kerf, use either a narrower blade or a blade with more TPI (teeth per inch), or make more relief cuts.
Blade Speed The blade speed can be adjusted to 1700 or 3500 FPM. Speed adjustments are made by moving the V-belt position on the motor and wheel pul- leys. Most woodcutting can be performed successfully at the higher blade speeds. Slower blade speeds generally produce better results when cutting hardwoods, intricate curves, or when an excep- tionally smooth cut is desired.
Blade Information Selecting the right blade requires a knowledge of the various blade characteristics to match the blade with the particular cutting operation. Blade Length Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually unique to the brand of your bandsaw and the distance between wheels.
Hook: The teeth on this style have a posi- • tive angle (downward) which makes them dig into the material, and the gullets are usu- ally rounded for easier waste removal. These blades are excellent for the tough demands of resawing and ripping thick material. Tooth Pitch Usually measured as TPI (teeth per inch), tooth pitch determines the size of the teeth.
Always disconnect power to the machine when changing blades. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. All saw blades are dan- gerous and may cause personal injury. To reduce the risk of being injured, wear leather gloves when handling saw blades.

Checking V-Belt To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition and operate under proper tension. The belt should be checked for cracks, fraying, and wear. Belt tension should be checked at least every 3 months—more often if the bandsaw is used daily.
Replacing V-Belt Tools Needed: Hex Wrench 6mm ...1 Wrench 13mm ...1 To replace the V-belt: DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER! Open both wheel covers, and remove the blade. Loosen the motor mount screws shown in Figure 58. Unthread the wheel mount bolt shown in Figure 59 and slide the lower wheel off of the bearing shaft.
