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. An undersized cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. Your extension

cord must also contain a ground wire and

plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-

sion cords if they become damaged.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubri-

cating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing

and changing accessories, such as blades,

bits, cutters, and the like.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther use of the tool, a guard or other part

that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function.

Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,

mounting, and any other conditions that

may affect its operation. A guard or other

part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear

is recommended. Wear protective hair

covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation

is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have

impact resistant lenses, they are NOT

safety glasses.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to

hold work when practical. It’s safer than

using your hand and frees both hands to

operate tool.

Additional Safety Instructions For Bandsaws

1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR

BADLY WORN BLADES. Dull blades

require more effort to use and are difficult

to control. Inspect blades before each use.

7. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND

SMOOTHLY. Do not force or twist blade

while cutting, especially when sawing

small radii.

2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR

THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.

Serious personal injury could occur.

8. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO

CUT METAL or other material except

wood.

3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW

WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND

BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.

9. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL

SPEED before beginning a cut.

10. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW

BLADE after turning the saw off. Allow it to

come to a complete stop before you leave

it unattended.

4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure

teeth face down toward the table. The

force of the cut is always down. Make sure

the blade is properly tensioned.

11. ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS,

AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE DONE

WITH THE POWER OFF and the plug

pulled from the outlet. Wait for all moving

parts to come to a complete stop.

5. CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY

SUPPORTED by the table or some type of

support fixture. Always support round stock

in a V-block.

12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE HARD

TO BREAK. Develop good habits in your

shop and safety will become second

nature to you.

6. DO NOT BACK WORKPIECE AWAY from

the blade while the saw is running. Plan

your cuts so you always cut out of the

wood. If you need to back the work out,

turn the bandsaw off and wait for the blade

to come to a complete stop. Do not twist or

put excessive stress on the blade while

backing work away.

Like all power tools, there is danger asso-

ciated with bandsaws. Accidents are fre-

quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail-

ure to pay attention. Use this tool with

respect and caution to lessen the possibil-

ity of operator injury. If normal safety pre-

cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious

personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be com-

plete. Every shop environment is different.

Always consider safety first, as it applies to

your individual working conditions. Use

this and other machinery with caution and

respect. Failure to do so could result in

serious personal injury, damage to equip-

ment or poor work results.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

220V Operation

The G1019Z Bandsaw motor is prewired to oper-

ate at 110V. See Figure 1. Under normal 110V

use, the motor draws approximately 12 amps. We

recommend a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp

slow-blow fuse.

The motor supplied with the G1019Z can be oper-

ated at either 110V or 220V. The motor comes

prewired for 110V.

If converting to operate at 220V, a suitable 220V

plug must be wired in. Refer to the wiring diagram

insert supplied with this manual. When operating

at 220V, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-

15 plug and outlet. See Figure 2. Check the elec-

trical codes in your area for specifics on wiring

requirements.

We also recommend that the circuit you use

should be dedicated, (i.e., the G1019Z should

provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent

circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw,

contact our Service Department or your local

electrical contractor.

Under normal use, the motor draws approximate-

ly 6 amps @ 220V. We recommend a 10 amp cir-

cuit breaker. This should be satisfactory for nor-

mal use while providing enough protection

against damage caused by power surges.

Extension Cords

Grounding

Should it be necessary to use an extension cord,

make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade

S) or better. Refer to chart in the Safety

Instructions section to determine the minimum

gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord

must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

Always repair or replace extension cords when

they become worn or damaged.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro-

vides 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 equip-

ment-grounding conductor. The plug must be

plugged into a matching outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords

on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange

the placement of your equipment and the installed

wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The

conductor with green or green and yellow striped

insulation is the electrical grounding conductor. If

repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug

is necessary, do not connect the equipment

grounding conductor to a live terminal.

This equipment must be

grounded. Verify that any

existing electrical outlet

and circuit you intend to

plug into is actually

grounded. Under no cir-

cumstances should the

grounding pin from any

three-pronged plug be

removed. Serious injury

may occur.

We have covered some basic electrical

requirements for the safe operation of your

Bandsaw. These requirements are not nec-

essarily comprehensive. You must be sure

that your particular electrical configuration

complies with local and state codes. Ensure

compliance by checking with your local

municipality or a licensed electrician.

Clean up

Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil

to protect them from corrosion during shipment.

Remove this protective coating with a solvent

cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as

Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based

solvents as they may damage painted surfaces

should they come in contact. Always follow the

usage instructions on the product you choose for

clean up.

Your G1019Z Bandsaw represents a moderately

large weight load in a small footprint. Most com-

mercial or home shop floors should be sufficient

to carry the weight of the G1019Z. If you question

the strength of your floor, you can opt to reinforce

it.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-

tances between machines and obstacles that

allow safe operation of every machine without lim-

itation. Consider existing and anticipated machine

needs, size of material to be processed through

each machine, and space for auxiliary stands

and/or work tables. Also consider the relative

position of each machine to one another for effi-

cient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself

sufficient room to safely run your machines in any

foreseeable operation.

Do not use gasoline or

other petroleum-based

solvents to clean with.

They have low flash

points which makes

them extremely flamma-

ble. A risk of explosion

and burning exists if

these products are

used. Serious personal

injury may occur.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate

shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits

should be dedicated or large enough to handle

combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be

located near each machine so power or extension

cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be

sure to observe local electrical codes for proper

installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Do not smoke while using

solvents. A risk of explo-

sion or fire exists and may

result in serious personal

injury.

Many of the solvents

commonly used to clean

machinery can be toxic

when inhaled or ingest-

ed. Always work in well-

ventilated areas far from

potential ignition sources

when dealing with sol-

vents. Use care when dis-

posing of waste rags and

towels to be sure they do

not create fire or environ-

mental hazards.

Make your shop “child safe.”

Ensure that your workplace

is inaccessible to children by

closing and locking all

entrances when you are

away. Never allow visitors in

your shop when assembling,

adjusting or operating equip-

ment.

bled at the factory, but some parts must be

assembled or installed after delivery. We have

organized the assembly process into steps.

Please follow along in the order presented here.

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need an adjustable

square, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm open end

wrenches and a Phillips^®and regular screwdriver.

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing any maintenance or

assembly. Failure to do

this may result in serious

personal injury.

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire assembly

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

Some metal parts may

have sharp edges on

them after they are

formed. Please examine

the edges of all metal

parts before handling

them. Failure to do so

could result in injury.

Bandsaw Unit

Motor

The motor attaches to the back of the lower band-

saw unit. To install the motor:

This bandsaw is relatively heavy and awk-

ward to handle. We strongly recommend

that you get assistance. The bandsaw unit

is also very unstable until it is permanently

mounted to the stand. Use care so the

bandsaw unit does not tip.

1. Slide the motor pulley onto the motor shaft

so the larger diameter pulley is closest to

the motor. Line up the keyways and slide

the key into the keyway. Insert the setscrew

and tighten. Pulley alignment will be done in

Step 5.

1. Place the bandsaw on the stand and align

the four holes in the base over the four

mounting holes in the stand.

2. Support the motor and insert the motor pul-

ley through the hole in the back of the band-

saw unit.

2. Secure the bandsaw base to the stand with

the four hex bolts, nuts and washers provid-

ed. See Figure 4.

3. Align the mounting holes and attach each of

three cap screws, lock washers and fender

washers through the bandsaw unit and into

the motor. Leave the cap screws loose for

motor adjustment. See Figure 5.

4. Slip the V-belt onto the grooves of the wheel

and motor pulleys. Remember, this is a two

speed bandsaw. Be sure that the pulleys

you choose are aligned. Do not try to force

the V-belt onto non-aligned grooves. See

“Changing Speeds” in the Operations sec-

tion to select the proper speed.

5. Check for proper pulley alignment by plac-

ing a straightedge on the outside edge of

the upper pulley so that it overlaps the

motor pulley. If the straightedge touches

both pulleys evenly, the pulleys are aligned.

If the straightedge does not touch both pul-

leys evenly, the pulleys are not aligned.

Loosen one or both of the pulley setscrews

on their shafts and slide the pulleys toward

alignment. Remember to retighten the

setscrews when finished. See Figure 6.

Switch

The switch is premounted on the bandsaw unit

and features a lock-out key. To lock-out the

switch, move the switch to the off position and

then pull out the key. See Figure 7a. The band-

saw cannot be turned on without first inserting the

key back into the switch.

Figure 7a. Switch lock-out key.

Figure 6. Schematic of proper pulley alignment.

To connect the switch to the motor:

6. Adjust V-Belt tension by sliding the motor

along the mounting slots. Proper tension is

achieved when the belt can be deflected

roughly ¹/2" with moderate finger pressure.

1. Plug the male end into the female end as

shown in Figure 7b.

7. Tighten the socket head cap screws

securely. Recheck belt tension and pulley

alignment.

Table and Table

Support Bracket

The bandsaw table secures to the table trunnions.

The trunnions mount to the table support bracket

and the table support bracket mounts to the band-

saw unit. The trunnions are premounted to the

table. To mount the bandsaw table:

1. Remove the two table support bracket

mounting bolts from the bandsaw body.

Figure 9. Stop bolt assembled on bracket.

2. Insert the alignment pin that positions the

table support bracket to the bandsaw body.

Place the table bracket on the body over the

alignment pin and secure it to the bandsaw

with the two bolts. See Figure 8.

6. Secure the table to the support bracket by

securing the two trunnion knobs onto the

trunnion bolts. Remember to position the

table so that the miter slot is to the right of

the blade as you face the front of the band-

saw. See Figure 10.

Figure 8. Aligning bracket on the pins.

Figure 10. Positioning table on support bracket.

3. Thread the locknut onto the table stop bolt

and thread the bolt into the table support

bracket. See Figure 9. Bolt adjustments are

covered in the “Table Adjustments” section

beginning on page 18.

7. Place the table insert in the table top and

place the tapered pin so it fits snugly in the

hole on the side of the table. Do not use

excessive force.

4. Remove tapered pin from the table.

NOTICE

The tapered table pin must be in position in

the table when operating the bandsaw. This

maintains the table surface flush with no edge

for the workpiece to catch on.

5. Slip the table past the blade through the

table slot, rotate the table 90°, and set the

table trunnions onto the bracket. Make sure

the trunnion bolts drop through the support

bracket.

Fence

Blades

A ⁄2" blade is included with the bandsaw and is

already installed on the machine. Refer to “Blade

Tensioning” and “Blade Tracking” on pages 16

and 17 before starting the machine. Also, the

Operations section contains instructions on

selecting and changing blades.

When installing the fence, notice that the front

edge of the table has two threaded holes. These

holes accept the round spacers and socket head

cap screws that attach the fence rail to the table.

1. Secure the fence rail to the table with the

two socket head cap screws and spacers

provided. Ensure that the slot in the rail

lines up with the miter gauge slot in the

table. See Figure 11.

This concludes the assembly process. Please DO

NOT operate this saw until you have read this

entire manual.

Do not operate this Bandsaw until you have

completed the adjustments noted in the

next section and have reviewed all safety

information. Serious personal injury may

result.

Figure 11. Fence assembly schematic.

2. Mount the fence on the left side of the blade

by setting the fence onto the table and rail.

3. Insert and tighten the fence locking knob to

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

A. These two knobs secure the upper and

lower wheel covers. The covers should only

be opened to change a blade or make an

adjustment to blade tracking. Always dis-

connect power before opening.

Keep clothing rolled up

and out of the way of

machinery and keep

hair pulled back.

B. This is the paddle switch that controls the

motor. To turn the motor on, flip the paddle

to the up position. To turn the motor off,

push the paddle to the down position.

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing any maintenance or

assembly. Failure to do

this may result in serious

personal injury.

C. This knob locks the rip fence in position.

D. These trunnion knobs are used to lock the

table in position.

E. The miter gauge slides in the milled groove

in the table and can be set at 45° left and

right. Use the miter gauge for crosscutting

and miter-cutting.

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire adjustment

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

Now, direct your attention to the controls located

around the backside of the upper cover of the

saw. See Figure 13.

F. This knob is used to control blade tension.

Turning clockwise increases tension;

counter-clockwise decreases tension.

General

G. This knob controls blade tracking. Note that

the knob has a locknut to lock tracking in

place.

General control and adjustment locations are

shown in Figures 12, 13 & 14 and are described

below.

Blade Tension

Do not make adjustments while the band-

saw is running. Ensure that the switch is off,

power is disconnected, and moving parts

have stopped before making adjustments.

Check adjustments while power is still dis-

connected by manually turning the bandsaw

wheel by hand.

Proper blade tension is important for optimum

bandsaw performance. See Figure 13 for band-

saw tension controls. To increase blade tension,

turn the blade tension knob clockwise. To reduce

blade tension, turn the blade tension knob

counter-clockwise.

The controls for the blade guide are shown in

Figure 14. The blade guide should always be

positioned so there is minimal space between the

guide and the top of the workpiece.

Since a variety of blades will work well with this

saw, final blade tension ultimately depends on the

type and size of blade you use. Thin blades

require less tension than wide blades. Too much

tension will result in blade breakage.

H. This knob locks the upper blade guide

assembly in position. The upper guide

should be adjusted to within ¹⁄4" of the work-

piece for optimum blade support. Do not

operate bandsaw without locking the guide

post knob.

A properly tensioned blade will track the cutting

line accurately and the cut will be smoother.

Proper blade tension can best be achieved by

determining the amount of blade deflection:

I. These spring-loaded bolts apply pressure

against the U-clamp to prevent the guide

post from dropping when the upper blade

guide knob is loosened.

1. Ensure that the power is off and the saw is

unplugged. Raise the upper guide assem-

bly all the way and lock in place.

2. Press, with moderate pressure, on the face

of the blade with your thumb.

3. Turn the tensioning knob to adjust the

amount of tension. The blade should deflect

about ¹/4".

If the tension seems correct, make all of the other

adjustments to the saw and test run it. If the blade

is not cutting properly, the tension may be incor-

rect and readjustment may be needed.

Remember to reduce the blade tension when the

bandsaw is not in use, this will help prevent pre-

mature breakage of the blade and deformation of

the rubber tires.

Blade Tracking

Blade Guides

Whenever changing a blade or adjusting tension

and tracking, the upper and lower blade support

bearings and guide blocks must be re-adjusted.

Always adjust the assemblies away from the

blade before installing a new blade or making

blade tracking adjustments. After blade tension

and tracking are set correctly, re-adjust the upper

and lower support bearings and guide block

assemblies into position. See Figure 15 for upper

blade guide and Figure 16 for lower blade guide.

The blade should track so the body of the blade is

centered on the upper wheel and tire. The rubber

tire is slightly crowned in the middle which helps

keep the blade centered and avoids having the

teeth of the blade come in contact with the tire

material. See Figure 13 for bandsaw tracking

controls.

To adjust blade tracking:

1. Disconnect the bandsaw from the power

port bearings are within /64" of the back edge of

the blade. Retighten the thumbscrews.

4. Turn the upper wheel and tracking knob

until the blade is centered on the upper

wheel and tire. Turn the wheel at least three

more full turns to ensure that the blade is

tracking in its final position.

5. Retighten the locknut and double check

blade tracking.

6. Install the upper wheel cover.

The bandsaw blade is dangerously sharp.

Use extreme caution when working near the

saw blade. Failure to exercise care could

result in severe injury.

Eccentric Guide Post

Guide Blocks

For optimum support, the guide block assemblies

should be adjusted so they are just behind the

gullet line (the hollow points) of the blade. To

adjust the guide block assemblies, loosen the

thumbscrews securing the guide block yoke

assemblies. Move in or out in relation to the blade

gullets. Once adjusted, retighten the thumbscrew.

There is an eccentric on the lower end of the

guide post where the the guide assembly attach-

es. This is held to the post by a setscrew and can

be loosened and tightened with an Allen^®wrench.

Figure 15A.

The eccentric allows the upper blade guide

assembly to be moved to accommodate various

blade sizes and wheel configurations.

Now adjust the guide blocks. Loosen the guide

block thumbscrews and adjust each block so it is

about 0.004" from the blade. This is about the

same thickness as a piece of typing paper.

Retighten the thumbscrews and turn the upper

wheel by hand through a complete revolution of

the blade length to ensure that the blade weld

passes through the guide blocks unhindered.

Loosen the knob on the guide post. Rotate the

guide block assembly on the guide post so the

blade is directly in the center of the guide block

legs. Retighten the knob and make sure the

assembly didn’t move. If needed, adjust the

eccentric on the post to make the assembly

accommodate the blade.

Table Adjustments

The bandsaw table will tilt left 10° and right 45°

from horizontal. When tilting the table to the right,

the positive stop adjusting bolt automatically

indexes the table perpendicular to the blade.

To tilt the table to the right:

1. Loosen the two trunnion knobs below the

table trunnions. See Figure 18 for location.

2. Position the table to the desired angle.

Refer to the angle gauge on the front table

support trunnion.

Figure 19. Table tilted left.

To adjust the positive stop so the table will be per-

pendicular (90°) to the blade:

3. Tighten the trunnion knobs.

1. Loosen two trunnion knobs and the locknut

securing the positive stop adjusting bolt.

2. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and

place a 6" adjustable square or try-square

on the table against the blade. See Figure

20. Adjust the positive stop adjusting bolt so

that the table is positioned at a 90° angle to

the blade.

3. Secure the trunnion knobs and lock the pos-

itive adjusting bolt by tightening the locknut.

Ensure that the bolt does not turn while

tightening the locknut. Set the angle pointer

to zero for future reference.

Trunnion Knobs

The table can be shifted side to side to properly

align the miter slot and the blade:

Blade Lead

1. Loosen the 6 trunnion bolts underneath the

Blade lead occurs when you are attempting a

straight cut and the blade wanders to one side or

the other. This usually happens (1) if the blade

tension isn’t correct, (2) if the teeth are dull on one

side, or (3) if the teeth are heavier on one side of

the blade than the other.

table.

2. Use the largest width blade available

installed in the machine. Lay a straightedge

along side the blade and inspect it closely to

make sure it is parallel to the blade. Make

sure there is no deflection of the blade from

the straightedge. Measure the distance

between the edge of the miter gauge slot

and the straightedge at points A and B. See

Figure 21. Distance A should be approxi-

mately equal to distance B. Adjust the table

slightly until these distances are equal.

If you don’t have time to switch blades or readjust

your bandsaw, you can temporarily compensate

for blade lead by slightly rotating your table. To do

this, rotate the table to match the angle that your

blade is leading. Your purpose in doing this is to

“trick” your bandsaw into cutting straight.

3. Secure the table and ensure that unwanted

shifting did not occur during retightening.

After all adjustments are made, cut a test

piece of wood using the miter gauge and

measure to see if the cut was square. If it

wasn’t, adjust the table accordingly until you

can cut a test piece of wood square.

If you are having blade lead problems with your

miter gauge, do the same thing by slightly rotating

your table so the miter slot matches the angle that

the blade is leading.

The table should also be 90° to the back of the

blade. If the table is not perpendicular to the back

of the blade, shim the table in the desired direc-

tion with washers. Remove the trunnion bolts and

add washers between the table and trunnion so

the table tilts in the desired direction. Electrical

washers are very thin and will allow fine adjust-

ment.

Fence Adjustment

Test Run

Fence operation is controlled by the threaded

knob located on the front of the fence. The knob,

when screwed tight, locks the fence to the front

rail. To change the fence position, loosen the

knob and slide the fence along the rail. Use a tape

measure or ruler to position the fence from the

blade.

Once assembly is complete, adjustments are

done to your satisfaction and tools are safely put

away, you are ready to test run the machine.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel.

Press the switch in the START position. Make

sure that your finger is poised on the switch to

press in the STOP position, just in case there’s a

problem. The bandsaw should run smoothly, with

little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or

unnatural noises should be investigated and cor-

rected before operating the machine further.

Speed Changes

If you cannot easily locate the source of an

unusual noise or vibration, contact our Service

Department for help.

Loosen the motor mounting bolts and move the

motor accordingly to slacken the V-Belt. It should

now be easy to move the belt onto the pulleys of

choice. Adjust belt tension and check the align-

ment according to the instructions in the

Adjustments Section. Refer to Figure 22 to deter-

mine which pulley pair is required for the desired

blade speed.

DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the

machine while it is running. Wait until the

machine is turned off, unplugged and all

working parts have come to a stop before

you do anything! Serious personal injury

will result.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

General

Keep clothing rolled up

and out of the way of

machinery and keep

hair pulled back.

There are many interrelated adjustment points to

consider when operating this type of saw.

Therefore, cutting results can be somewhat

unpredictable if some or all of the crucial adjust-

ments are neglected. Here are a few simple

things you can do to increase the predictability of

your bandsaw’s performance:

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing any maintenance or

assembly. Failure to do

this may result in serious

personal injury.

1. Always use a sharp, high-quality blade.

Although you might save a few dollars ini-

tially, buying a cheap blade will give you

cheap results. As a rule, spending more

now will save you money later.

2. Use the right blade for the job. Resawing

with a /8" blade or doing scrollwork with a

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

/4" blade are extreme examples of using

the wrong blade for the job.

3. Allow the saw to cut. Don’t force the work-

piece into the blade. When cutting curves or

irregular shapes, remember that while

negotiating a curve, the blade should still be

cutting the wood. Simply turning the work-

piece will only bind the blade and could

cause it to break.

Always wear

dust

mask when operating

the bandsaw. Using this

machine produces saw-

dust which may cause

allergic reactions or res-

piratory problems.

4. Maintain your bandsaw in top condition.

See Section 7 of this manual for mainte-

nance procedures.

NOTICE

The following section was designed to give

instructions on the basic operations of this

bandsaw. However, it is in no way compre-

hensive of every bandsaw application. WE

STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read

books, trade magazines, or get formal train-

ing to maximize the potential of your

shaper. There are many different jigs that

can be built to increase safety, accuracy,

and types of cuts.

Blade Information

Changing Blades

A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that

is subjected to tremendous strain. Be sure you

use quality blades of the proper width for the var-

ious types of cutting operations.

When removing or installing blades, make sure

the power is disconnected and moving parts have

come to a complete stop.

To remove the blade:

Always use the widest blade possible for the

workpiece you are cutting. Use narrow blades

only for sawing small, abrupt curves and for fine,

delicate work. Bandsaw blades can be purchased

welded, set and sharpened ready-for-use from

most saw shops. We also supply bandsaw blades

1. Back guide block assemblies and support

bearings away from the blade and raise the

guide post up and away from the table.

saw. Please refer to our current catalog for prices

and ordering information.

3. Remove table insert and tapered table pin.

4. Remove top and bottom wheel covers.

Always use good quality saw blades that are

sharp and choose the right blade for the job.

Using a dull or poor quality blade, or the wrong

size or type, often produces unsatisfactory results

5. Loosen the two blade guard mounting bolts

and slide the guard off of the mounting

studs.

Many conditions may cause blade breakage.

Breakage is, in some cases, unavoidable, since it

is the natural result of the peculiar stresses to

which bandsaw blades are subjected. Blade

breakage is also due to avoidable causes.

Avoidable breakage is most often the result of

poor care or judgement on the part of the opera-

tor. The most common causes of blade breakage

are: (1) faulty alignment and adjustment of the

guides; (2) forcing or twisting a wide blade around

a tight curve or short radius; (3) feeding too fast;

(4) tooth dullness or absence of sufficient set; (5)

excessive blade tension; (6) upper blade guide

assembly set too high above the workpiece; (7)

using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished

weld; and (8), continuously running the bandsaw

when not in use.

6. Pull blade straight off the wheels, rotate 90°

and feed along the table through the table

slot.

To install the blade:

1. Hold blade in both hands so the teeth of the

blade in your right hand are pointing down.

2. Feed blade into the slot in the table. Turn

the blade 90° and position over the top and

bottom wheels. The teeth of the blade must

be pointing down toward the table.

3. Apply tension to the blade by turning the

tension control knob. Rotate the upper

wheel slowly by hand as tension is applied

to allow the blade to center itself on the

wheel. Adjust tracking if needed. See

“Blade Tension” and “Blade Tracking” in

Section 5 for details.

The Grizzly G1019Z 14" Bandsaw uses 98"

blades.

4. Re-adjust upper and lower blade guides

and support bearings as stated in the

Adjustment section.

5. Install the table taper pin and table insert.

6. Install the blade guard.

Ripping

7. Close the top and bottom covers.

Ripping is the process of cutting a board into two

or more thinner boards, generally in a direction

along its length. The maximum board width that

can be ripped is limited by the distance between

the blade and the support column. Maximum cut-

ting width for this bandsaw is 14¹⁄4".

Gullet

The important consideration when ripping is blade

selection. Generally, the wider the blade, the bet-

ter. In most applications, a hook or skip tooth style

will be sufficient. Also, since most ripped lumber

will be planed or sanded smooth, you can choose

blades with fewer teeth-per-inch. While blades

with fewer teeth-per-inch produce rougher cuts,

these types of blades offer larger gullet capacities

for clearing sawdust, produce less heat, and yield

more horsepower per tooth.

Stacked Cuts

Cutting Curves

One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to

cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stack-

ing a number of workpieces together.

When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and

turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows

the layout line without being twisted. 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 set.

Before making stacked cuts, it is essential to

ensure that both the table and the blade are prop-

erly adjusted to 90°. Otherwise, any error will be

compounded with each piece cut from the top to

the bottom of the stack.

Always make short cuts first, then proceed to the

longer cuts. Relief cuts will also reduce the

chance that the blade will be pinched or twisted.

Relief cuts are cuts made through the waste por-

tion of the workpiece and are stopped at the lay-

out line. As you cut along the layout line, waste

wood is released from the workpiece, alleviating

any pressure on the back of the blade. Relief cuts

also make backing the workpiece out easier, if

needed. Figure 24 lists blade widths and corre-

sponding minimum radii each blade will cut.

To complete a stacked cut:

1. Align your pieces from top to bottom to

ensure that each piece has adequate scrap

to provide a clean, unhampered cut.

2. Using brads in the waste portion of each

piece, secure all the pieces together.

3. Lay out the shape you intend to cut on the

To resaw lumber, follow the procedure below:

Resawing

1. The blade must be adjusted correctly and

the table must be square to the blade. See

Section 5.

Resawing is the process of cutting a board along

its thickness into two or more thinner boards.

Each new board is the same width and length as

the original board, but the thickness is less. The

maximum board width that can be resawn on this

bandsaw is 6¹/8".

2. Use the widest blade that will fit this saw

(³/4"). The blade must also be in good con-

dition.

3. Use the fence or a pivot block to guide the

work. If using a pivot block, clamp the block

to the table next to the fence at the desired

distance from the blade and mark the line of

cut on the workpiece. Follow the mark dur-

ing cutting while using the pivot block as a

guide.

Although the G1019Z Bandsaw was not specifi-

cally designed for resawing, it is capable of

resawing, provided the saw is set up properly.

Use common sense when resawing; attempting to

resaw a board that is too wide or too dense may

put excessive strain on the blade and be unsafe.

4. Feed work slowly and evenly.

Again, the important consideration when resawing

is blade selection. When selecting a blade, keep

in mind that a wider blade is generally easier to

control. The blade should be of high quality in

order to handle the increased stress. In most

applications, a hook or skip tooth style will work

fine. Also, since most resawn lumber will be

planed smooth, you can choose blades with fewer

teeth per inch (3 to 6). These types of blades offer

larger gullet capacities for clearing sawdust. They

also produce less heat build up and yield more

horsepower per tooth.

When using a fence to guide the board, the actu-

al line of cut may not always be parallel to the

fence. In fact, most bandsaw blades will not cut

exactly parallel to the fence. There are usually a

number of reasons for this: teeth are set heavier

on one side than the other, teeth are dull on one

side, or blade tension is too tight or too loose.

If the blade wanders off the line of cut when using

the fence, consider using a pivot block.

IMPORTANT: Do not force the wood into the

blade during cutting. This will distort the blade,

cause excessive heat and often results in blade

breakage as well as miscut lumber.

NOTE: When operating with wide blades, run the

bandsaw at the slowest speed.

mance. Make a habit of inspecting your bandsaw

each time you use it. Check for the following con-

ditions and repair or replace when necessary.

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently

lubricated, no maintenance is required on them.

If, after a period of time you notice a distinct noise

or rumble coming from a shielded bearing, or the

bearing journal is hot to the touch after use, it will

be time to replace the shielded bearing assem-

bly(s). Please contact our Customer Service num-

ber to order replacement bearings or to make

arrangements to send your bandsaw back for ser-

vice.
