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.
THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO CUT METAL or other material except wood. BLADE after turning the saw off. Allow it to come to a complete stop before you leave it unattended. AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE DONE WITH THE POWER OFF and the plug pulled from the outlet.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS Model G3619 The Model G3619 Bandsaw is pre-wired for sin- gle-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the Model G3619 5 HP motor draws approximately 22 amps. We recommend a 30 amp circuit. This includes a 30 amp circuit breaker and wiring rated for at least 30 amps.
Model G3620/G9966 The Model G3620/G9966 Bandsaw is pre-wired for 3-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the 7 ⁄ HP motor for this model draws approxi- mately 19 amps. We recommend using a 25 amp circuit, including a 25 amp circuit breaker and wir- ing rated for at least 25 amps.
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 equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor. A plug with a grounding pin must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and...
SECTION 3: GENERAL INFORMATION Commentary Grizzly Industrial, Inc. is proud to offer the 24" and 27" Resaw Bandsaws.

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.
SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY Keep rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back. Keep power disconnect- ed from machine when performing the assembly process. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire assembly process.
Make sure the blade teeth face downward during installation. Tension the blade enough to keep it on the saw so it does not spring off during the rest of the assembly process. -12- Dust Port...
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS Keep rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back. Disconnect power to the machine when perform- Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury. Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire adjustment process.
Figure 9. For Model G9963/G9966 loosen middle cap screws on both sides G3619/G3620 Blade Guides To move the guide blocks away from the blade, unscrew the knurled lock nuts on the guide block shaft and rotate the guide blocks away from the blade.
G3619/G3620 Tracking The wheels on the Model G3619/G3620 Resaw Bandsaws are crowned with rubber tires. This style requires center tracking for proper opera- tion. To center track your blade: Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged! Open the upper wheel cover door. Slowly rotate the upper wheel and watch where the blade rides on the wheel.
Adjust the tracking handwheel until the blade gullets ride approximately edge of the wheels while you are spinning the upper wheel by hand. Your saw is now properly tracked. Support Bearings The support bearings back-up the blade during the sawing operation.
Guide Blocks The guide blocks ensure that the blade cannot move side-to-side too far during operation. Perform steps 1-4 for both upper and lower guide blocks. Loosen the guide blocks from the center setscrew in the guide bracket. The guide blocks should be approximately .004"...
Blade Guard The blade guard is attached to the guide post above the upper blade guide assembly. For prop- er setup, the blade should be centered in the blade guard. To center the blade guard: Loosen the hex bolt that secures the blade guard bracket to the guide post.
Loosen the large hex bolt and the jamnut in the center of the table trunnion. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and place a 6" machinist’s square on the table against the blade as shown in Figure 16. Notice how far out of square your table is and approximate this distance by adjusting the positive stop up or down.
The rest of the adjustments in this section require you to start the bandsaw. Before starting the bandsaw, make sure you have performed the preceding assembly and adjustment instructions, and you have read through the rest of the manual and are familiar with the various functions and safe- ty issues associated with this machine.
To adjust the fence so it is parallel with the blade: With a different saw, cut a board to 1" x 4" x 28". Down the length of the board, joint one edge perfectly straight, or rip a narrow strip off the length of the board with a table saw.
Blade Length Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually unique to the model of your bandsaw and the wheel diameter. The Model G3619/3620 is designed for blades that are 175" long. The Model G9963/G9966 requires blades that are Blade Width...

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.
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: After making sure unplugged, release the tension on the blade by turning the tension control knob counter- clockwise.
See Figure 19. The maximum board width that can be ripped is limit- ed by the maximum throat dimension of the band- saw. For ripping, a wider blade is better. In most rip- ping applications, a standard raker tooth style will be sufficient.
Use the widest blade that will fit your band- saw. (Use the data sheets in the back of this manual to determine the maximum blade width for your saw.) The blade must also be sharp and in good condition.
Ensure that oil does not get on the pul- leys or V-belt because it could cause belt deteri- oration and slipping. Table ® . For long term stor- ® T-9. See the current Grizzly catalog Lubrication -27-...
However, due to Grizzly’s policy of contin- uous improvement, changes may be made at any time with no obligation on the part of Grizzly. We have included some important safety mea- sures that are essential to the operation of this machine.
1. V-belt loose. Blade slows when cutting. Blade makes a squealing noise, 2. V-belt worn out. especially on start-up. Ticking sound when the saw Weld contacting support bearing. is running. 1. Excessive side pressure when cutting. Blade contacting table insert.
