WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

Model G0636X (Mfd. Since 09/18)

Additional Safety for Bandsaws

Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during operation or if blade breakage occurs. Serious injury or death can also occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in moving parts if the machine is operated while the doors are open. To reduce this risk, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

HAND PLACEMENT. Placing hands or fingers

in line with blade during operation may result in serious injury if hands slip or workpiece moves unexpectedly. Do not position fingers or hands in line with blade, and never reach under table while blade is moving.

SMALL/NARROW WORKPIECES. If hands slip during a cut while holding small workpieces with fingers, serious personal injury could occur. Always support/feed small or narrow workpieces with push sticks, push blocks, jig, vise, clamping fixture.

BLADE SPEED. Cutting workpiece before blade is at full speed could cause blade to grab workpiece and pull hands into blade. Allow blade to reach full speed before starting cut. DO NOT start machine with workpiece contacting blade.

FEED RATE. To avoid risk of workpiece slipping and causing operator injury, always feed stock evenly and smoothly.

BLADE CONDITION. Dull blades require more effort to perform cut, increasing risk of accidents. Do not operate with dir t y, dull, cracked or badly worn blades. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use. Always maintain proper blade tension and tracking while operating.

CLEARING JAMS AND CUTOFFS. Always stop bandsaw and disconnect power before clearing scrap pieces that get stuck between blade and table insert. Use brush or push stick, not hands, to clean chips/cutoff scraps from table.

BLADE CONTROL. To avoid risk of injury due to blade contact, always allow blade to stop on its own. DO NOT try to stop or slow blade with your hand or the workpiece.

GUARDS/COVERS. Blade guards and covers protect operator from moving bandsaw blade. The wheel covers protect operator from getting entangled with rotating wheels or other moving parts. ON LY operate bandsaw with blade guard in proper position and wheel covers completely closed.

BLADE REPLACEMENT. To avoid mishaps that could result in operator injury, make sure blade teeth face down toward table and blade is properly tensioned and tracked before operating.

UPPER BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT. To reduce exposure of operator to blade and provide maximum blade support while cutting, keep upper blade guides adjusted to just clear workpiece.

CUTTING TECHNIQUES. To avoid blade getting pulled off wheels or accidentally breaking and striking operator, always turn bandsaw OFF and wait for blade to come to a complete stop before backing workpiece out of blade. DO NOT back workpiece away from blade while bandsaw is running. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting, especially when sawing small curves. This could result in blade damage or breakage.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To maintain maximum control and reduce risk of blade contact/breakage, always ensure adequate support of long/ large workpieces. Always keep workpiece flat and firm against table/fence when cutting to avoid loss of control. If necessary, use a jig or other workholding device.

WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This machine is intended for cutting natural and man-made wood products, and laminate covered wood products. This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:

Grounding Instructions

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Many cleaning solvents

Cleanup

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avoid using these products to clean machinery.

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe off the rest with the rag.

Moving & Placing

To move and place the bandsaw using wood shims:

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. lifting capacity. If the chain or lifting strap breaks, serious personal injury may occur.

Take special care when moving this bandsaw. Only use the following methods to lift or move this bandsaw.

To move and place bandsaw:

Use a forklift to move bandsaw on the pallet

to its final location.

Mounting to

Shop Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. However, you must level your machine with a precision level.

You may also mount your machine to a mobile base (see Figure 10) that has wheel locking or wheel retracting capabilities that keep the mobile base from rolling when the bandsaw is in use. We recommend using the Grizzly Model D2058A mobile base.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 9) and anchor studs are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.

Figure 10. Bandsaw mounted on D2058A mobile

base.

Guide Post Handwheel

To install guide post handwheel:

Insert guide post handwheel onto shaft, and

secure it with cap screw on flat side of shaft, as shown in Figure 11.

Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.

Blade Tracking

Blade Centered

on Peak of Crown

Blade

Centered

Wheel

Personal injury or death can occur if the machine starts while your hand is touching the bandsaw wheel during tracking adjustments. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing blade tracking adjustments.

The blade tracking is primarily affected by the tilt of the upper wheel, also known as "Center Tracking"; and the alignment of both wheels, also known as "Coplanar Tracking." (For Coplanar Tracking, see the Wheel Alignment instructions on Page 50.)

The wheels on this bandsaw were aligned at the factory, so Center Tracking is the only adjustment that needs to be performed.

4. Open upper wheel cover.

Spin upper wheel by hand at least three times

and watch how blade rides on the crown of the wheel. Refer to Figure 13 for an illustration of this concept.

— If the blade rides in the center of the upper

wheel and is centered on the peak of the wheel crown, then the bandsaw is already center tracked properly and no further adjustments are needed at this time.

—If the blade does not ride in the center of

the upper wheel and is not centered on the peak of the wheel crown, then continue with the following steps.

The cast iron spokes may have sharp edges and the blade teeth may extend beyond the edge of the wheel, creating a laceration hazard. Be careful when turning the wheels by hand.

To center track the blade:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Make sure upper and lower blade guides are

adjusted away from blade (see Page 24).

Dust Collection

DO NOT operate the Model G0636X without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

Recommended CFM at each Dust Port: 400

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

Check adjustment for accuracy once you

have tightened jam nut.

Loosen screw on table tilt scale pointer, but

do not remove it.

Align tip of pointer with 0˚ mark on table tilt

scale, then tighten screw to secure setting.

To connect a dust collection hose:

Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port, as

shown in Figure 17, and secure in place with a hose clamp.

Tug each hose to make sure it does not come

off.

Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper

performance.

Tensioning Blade

Now, slowly increase tension until blade

stops fluttering, then tighten tension another quarter turn.

Look at what blade tension scale reads and

use that as a guide for tensioning that blade in the future.

Note: Always release blade tension after use

to increase blade life and reduce strain on the bandsaw components.

Re-adjust blade tracking as instructed on

8. Page 19.

A properly tensioned blade is essential for making accurate cuts and is required before making many bandsaw adjustments. (Every time you replace the blade, you should perform this procedure because all blades tension differently.)

To tension the bandsaw blade:

Complete Test Run procedure and make

1. sure blade is tracking properly (see Page

19).

Raise upper blade guide assembly as high as

it will go, and adjust upper and lower guide blocks as far away from blade as possible (see Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings).

Note: This procedure will NOT work if guide

blocks have any contact with blade.

Move quick tension lever to tightened posi-

tion and turn blade tension handwheel until blade tension matches mark on blade tension scale for appropriate blade thickness (See

Figure 12, Page 19).

Adjusting Blade

Guide Bearings

The blade guides provide side-to-side support to keep the blade straight while cutting. The blade guides are designed to be adjusted in two ways— forward/backward and side-to-side.

To adjust upper blade guides:

Make sure blade is tracking properly and that

it is correctly tensioned.

2. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

4. Adjusts blade guide height to approximately

1" from top of workpiece.

Checks to make sure workpiece can safely

pass all the way through the blade without interference from other objects.

Puts on safety glasses.

7. Starts dust collector and bandsaw.

8. Holds workpiece firmly and flatly against

table and fence, and then pushes workpiece into blade at a steady and controlled rate until workpiece moves completely beyond blade.

Note: The operator is very careful to keep fin-

gers away from blade and uses a push stick to feed narrow workpieces.

Stops bandsaw and removes workpiece

when blade is completely stopped.

If you have never used this type of machine or equipment before, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, review industry trade magazines, or get formal training before beginning any projects.

Basic Functions of a Bandsaw

A properly adjusted bandsaw can be safer to operate than most other saws and performs many types of cuts with ease and accuracy. It is capable

of performing the following types of cuts:

Straight Cuts

• Miters

• Angles

• Compound Angles

• Resawing

• Ripping

• Crosscutting

Irregular Cuts

• Simple and Complex Curves

• Duplicate Parts

• Circles

• Beveled Curves

Basic Cutting Tips

Here are some basic tips to follow when operating the bandsaw:

• Replace, sharpen, and clean blades often

for best performance. Check guides, tension, and alignment settings periodically and adjust when necessary to keep the saw running in top condition.

• Use light and even pressure while cutting.

Light feeding pressure makes it easier to cut straight and prevents undue friction or strain on the bandsaw components and the blade.

• Avoid twisting the blade when cutting around

tight corners. Allow the blade to saw its way around the corners. Always use relief cuts when possible.

• Misusing the saw or using incorrect tech-

niques (e.g. twisting the blade with the workpiece, incorrect feed rate, etc.) is unsafe and results in poor cuts.

Workpiece Inspection

Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may require modification before they are safe to cut.

Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following:

• Material Type: This machine is intended for cutting natural and man-made wood products, laminate covered wood products, and some plastics. Cutting drywall or cementious backer board creates extremely fine dust and may reduce the life of the bearings. This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a bandsaw may lead to injury.

• Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects can become dislodged and hit the operator, cause kickback, or break the blade, which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect your workpiece for these items. If they can't be removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.

• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can become dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Choose workpieces that do not have large/loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting through them.

• Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with a moisture content over 20% causes unnecessary wear on the blades, increases the risk of kickback, and yields poor results.

• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and often unpredictable when being cut. DO NOT use workpieces with these characteristics!

-32-

• Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cupping can be safely supported if the cupped side is facing the table or the fence. On the contrary, a workpiece supported on the bowed side will rock during a cut and could cause kickback or severe injury.

Model G0636X (Mfd. Since 09/18)

Foot Brake

The Model G0636X is equipped with a foot brake (see Figure 37). Use the brake only in emergency situations to stop power from going to the motor and bring the blade to a halt.

The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw wheels and blade instantly. DO NOT become over confident and relax your safety awareness because of the foot brake feature.

Table Tilt

Personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjustment. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing table adjustments.

The bandsaw table will tilt 5˚ left and 45˚ right to provide a wide range of cutting options.

To tilt table:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Guide Post

The guide post, shown in Figure 39, connects the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. The guide post allows the blade guide assembly to move up or down via a rack and pinion. In order to cut accurately, the blade guide assembly must be no more than 1" from the top of the workpiece at all times—this positioning provides the best support for the blade.

Blade Lead

Bandsaw blades commonly wander off the cut line when sawing, as shown in Figure 41. This is called blade lead. Blade lead is commonly caused by too fast of a feed rate, a dull or abused blade, or improper tension. If your blade is sharp/undamaged and you still have blade lead, perform the following instructions.

Slide bandsaw fence out of the way and cut

halfway through board on line by pushing it into blade. Turn bandsaw OFF and wait for blade to stop.

Clamp board to bandsaw table without mov-

ing it. Now slide fence over to board so it barely touches one end of board.

Loosen two cap screws that secure fence rail

to underside of table (see Page 29).

Skew fence so it is parallel to edge of scrap

piece.

While maintaining skew, tighten cap screws

loosened in Step 4.

Make a few cuts using fence. If fence still

does not seem parallel to blade, repeat Steps 1–6 until blade and fence are parallel

with each other.

Figure 41. Example of blade leading away from

line of cut.

To correct blade lead:

Use less pressure when feeding workpiece

through cut.

Check that miter slot or fence is paral-

lel to blade line, and correct if necessary (See Aligning Table, Page 28 and Aligning Fence, Page 29).

Check for proper blade tension. If blade ten-

sion is correct and it is not convenient to replace blade, compensate for lead by skewing fence or adjusting table.

To skew fence:

To shift table:

On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is

perpendicular to front edge.

Cut halfway through board on line by pushing

it into blade.

Turn bandsaw OFF and wait for blade to

stop.

Using an 8mm hex wrench, loosen four cap

screws that mount table to trunnion (see Figure 31). Shift table to compensate for blade lead, then retighten cap screws.

Repeat Steps 1–4 until blade cuts straight.

Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately 3⁄4"

thick x 3" wide x 17" long. On a wide face of the board, draw a straight line parallel to long edge.

Ripping Crosscutting

Ripping is the process of cutting with the grain of the wood stock. For plywood and other processed wood, ripping simply means cutting down the length of the workpiece. For ripping, a wider blade is better. In most ripping applications, a standard raker tooth style will be sufficient.

To make a rip cut:

Adjust fence to match width of cut on

workpiece and lock fence in place.

Adjust blade guide assembly to correct height.

3. After all safety precautions have been met,

turn bandsaw ON. Slowly feed workpiece into blade and continue with cut until blade is completely through workpiece. Figure 42 shows a typical ripping operation. Note: If

you are cutting narrow pieces, use a push stick to protect your fingers.

Crosscutting is the process of cutting across the grain of wood. For plywood and other processed wood, crosscutting simply means cutting across the width of the material.

To make a 90˚ crosscut:

Mark workpiece on edge where you want to

begin cut.

Adjust blade guide assembly to correct height

and make sure miter gauge is set to 0°.

Move fence out of the way. Place workpiece

evenly against miter gauge.

Hold workpiece against miter gauge and line

up mark with blade.

After all safety precautions have been met,

turn bandsaw ON. Slowly feed workpiece into blade and continue cut until blade is all the way through workpiece. Figure 43 shows a typical crosscutting operation.

Figure 42. Example of typical ripping operation

with a push stick.

NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of cut. In the event that something unexpected happens, your hands or fingers may slip into the blade. ALWAYS use a push stick when ripping narrow pieces. Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious personal injury!

Resawing

Resawing (see Figure 44) is the process of cutting a board into two or more thinner boards. The maximum board width that can be resawn is limited by the maximum cutting height of the bandsaw.

One of the most important considerations when resawing is blade selection. Generally, wider blades are better. 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 sawdust, reducing heat buildup and reducing strain on the motor.

When resawing thin pieces, a wandering blade (blade lead) can tear through the surface of the workpiece, exposing your hands to the blade teeth. Always use push blocks when resawing and keep hands clear of blade.

Figure 44. Example of resawing lumber.

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.

To resaw a workpiece:

Verify bandsaw is set up properly and that

fence is parallel to blade.

2. Adjust upper blade guide so it is about 1"

above workpiece with a minimum amount of blade exposed.

3. Install resaw fence, set it to desired width of

cut, and lock it in place.

NOTICE

The scale on the front rail will NOT be accurate when using the resaw fence.

Support ends of board if necessary.

5. Turn bandsaw ON.

Using push paddles and a push stick, keep

pressure against fence and table, and slowly feed workpiece into moving blade until blade is completely through workpiece (see Figure

44).

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 portion of the workpiece and are stopped at the layout 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.

NOTICE

Stacked Cuts Blade Information

One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stacking a number of workpieces together. Before making stacked cuts, ensure that both the table and the blade are properly adjusted to 90° (see Page

20). Otherwise, any error will be compounded.

To complete a stacked cut:

Align pieces from top to bottom to ensure that

each piece has adequate scrap to provide a clean, unhampered cut.

Secure all pieces together in a manner that

will not interfere with the cutting. Hot glue on edges works well, as do brad nails through waste portion. (Be careful not to cut into brads or you may break the blade!)

On face of top piece, lay out shape you

intend to cut.

Make relief cuts perpendicular to outline of

intended shape in areas where changes in blade direction could strain woodgrain or cause blade kerf to bind.

Cut stack of pieces as though cutting a single

piece. Follow layout line with blade kerf on waste side of line, as shown in Figure 45.

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. The Model G0636X is designed for blades that are 160" long. Refer to Page 41 for blade replacements.

Blade Width

Measured from the back of the blade to the tip of the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width is often the first consideration given to blade selection. Blade width dictates the largest and smallest curve that can be cut, as well as how accurately it can cut a straight line.

The Model G0636X can use blades from

⁄8" in width. Always pick the size of blade that

1 best suits your application.

• Curve Cutting: Use the chart in Figure 46 to

determine the correct blade for curve cutting. Determine the smallest radius curve that will be cut on your workpiece and use the corresponding blade width.

⁄8" to

-38-

Figure 45. Typical stacked cut.

Figure 46. Blade width radii.

Model G0636X (Mfd. Since 09/18)

• Straight Cutting: Use the largest width

blade that you own. Narrow blades can cut tight curves (a small radius) but are not very good at cutting straight lines because they naturally wander (blade lead). However, larger blades are much better at cutting straight lines, but function poorly at cutting small curves because of their size.

Tooth Style

When selecting blades, another option to consider is the shape, gullet size, teeth set and teeth angle—otherwise known as “Tooth Style." Figure 47 shows the three main categories of tooth style:

Raker Skip Hook

• Hook: The teeth on this style have a positive angle (downward) which makes them dig into the material, and the gullets are usually 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. More teeth per inch (fine pitch) will cut slower, but smoother; while fewer teeth per inch (coarse pitch) will cut rougher, but faster. As a general rule, choose blades that will have at least three teeth in the material at all times. Use fine pitched blades on harder woods and coarse pitched blades on softer woods.

Blade Care

A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that is subjected to tremendous strain. You can obtain longer use from a bandsaw blade if you give it fair treatment and always use the appropriate feed rate for your operation.

Figure 47. Raker, Skip & Hook tooth styles.

• Raker: This style is considered to be the

standard because the tooth size and shape are the same as the tooth gullet. The teeth on raker blades usually are very numerous, have no angle, and produce cuts by scraping the material; these characteristics result in very smooth cuts, but do not cut fast and generate more heat while cutting.

• Skip: This style is similar to a raker blade

that is missing every other tooth. Because of the design, skip toothed blades have a much larger gullet than raker blades, and therefore, cut faster and generate more heat. However, these blades also leave a rougher cut than raker blades.

Be sure to select blades with the proper width, style, and pitch for each application. The wrong choice of blades will often produce unnecessary heat which will shorten the life of your blade.

A clean blade will perform much better than a dirty blade. Dirty or gummed up blades pass through the cutting material with much more resistance than clean blades. This extra resistance also causes unnecessary heat.

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 breakage is also due to avoidable circumstances. Avoidable breakage is most often the result of poor care or judgement on the part of the operator when mounting or adjusting the blade or support guides.

Model G0636X (Mfd. Since 09/18)

-39-

The most common causes of blade breakage are:

• Faulty alignment and adjustment of the guides.

• Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a curve of short radius.

• Feeding the workpiece into the blade too fast.

3. Remove table insert and table pin. Adjust

upper and lower guide bearings as far away as possible from blade.

Open upper and lower wheel covers, and

with gloved hands, slide blade off of both wheels.

Slide blade through slot in table.

To replace a blade:

• Tooth dullness or absence of sufficient set.

• Incorrect tension.

• Top blade guide assembly set too high above the workpiece.

• Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld.

• Continuously running the bandsaw when not in use.

Changing Blade

Always disconnect power to the machine when changing blades. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Slide blade through table slot, ensuring that

teeth are pointing forward and down toward table. Note: If teeth will not point downward

in any orientation, the blade is inside-out. Put on heavy gloves, remove blade, and twist it right side-out.

Slip blade through guides, and mount it on

2. upper and lower wheels (see Figure 48).

Figure 48. Typical example of placing blade on

the wheels.

All saw blades are dangerous and may cause personal injury. To reduce the risk of being injured, wear leather gloves when handling saw blades.

To remove a blade:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Release blade tension.

Adjusting Wheel and

Blade Brushes

The lower wheel compartment contains the brushes shown in Figure 62. These brushes are designed to sweep sawdust off the wheel tire and blade as the bandsaw is operating. In order to work properly, the brushes must be making contact with the wheel and blade.

Wheel alignment is one of the most critical factors for optimal performance from your bandsaw.

Heat, vibration, wandering, blade wear, tire wear and overall bandsaw wear are considerably decreased when the wheels are properly aligned or “coplanar.”

Coplanar wheels automatically track the blade by balancing it on the crown of the wheel. This is known as coplanar tracking.

Finally, check table and fence alignment (see

10. Pages 28 & 29).

Note: The blade may track slightly off-center

when the wheels are coplanar. This is natural because the blade will be balanced on the crown of the tire, rather than just in the center of the tire. This will be more noticeable with larger blades.

Loosen four screws shown in Figure 69

enough to fit metal shims between frame and guide post bracket (see Figure 71).

—If guide post–blade distance is greater at

bottom than at top, place a shim between bottom of bracket and frame (Shim "A"). This will tilt bottom of guide post toward blade.

—If guide post-blade distance is less at bot-

tom than at top, place a shim between top of bracket and frame (Shim "B"). This will tilt bottom of guide post away from blade.

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical components!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
