Additional Safety for
Horizontal Metal Bandsaws
Serious injury or death can occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or moving parts or making direct contact with the moving blade. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use.
HAND PLACEMENT. Never position hands or fin­gers in line with the cut or under bandsaw head­stock while lowering or operating. Hands could be cut or crushed.
BLADE GUARD POSITION. Adjust blade guard as close to workpiece as possible before cutting to minimize operator exposure to unused portion of blade.
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate this saw without blade guard in place. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn into working parts.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades, disconnect the machine from power, wear gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to protect eyes.
HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from machine components, ejections of hot chips, swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause burns.
WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always properly sup­port workpiece with table, vise, or some type of support fixture. Always secure workpiece in vise before cutting. Never hold the workpiece with your hands during a cut.
UNSTABLE WORKPIECES. Avoid cutting work­pieces that cannot be properly supported or clamped in a vise or jig, because they can unex­pectedly move while cutting and draw the opera­tor’s hands into the blade causing serious per­sonal injury. Examples are chains, cables, round or oblong-shaped workpieces, and those with internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.
FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cut­ting magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid could lead to chip fire and possible explosion.
CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Cutting fluids are poisonous. Always follow manufacturer’s cutting­fluid safety instructions. Pay particular attention to contact, contamination, inhalation, storage and disposal warnings. Spilled cutting fluid invites slip­ping hazards.
Model G0887 (Mfd. Since 01/19)

Additional Safety for Hydraulic Systems

Infection, amputation, or death can result from contact with leaking hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Additionally, leaking hydraulic fluid is a serious slip hazard and fire hazard. To reduce these risks, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
INJECTION INJURIES. Immediately seek medi-
cal attention if injection injury occurs. Leaking hydraulic fluid often has enough pressure to pen­etrate skin, which can lead to infection, amputa­tion, or death. Hydraulic fluid can enter the skin through small wounds that are barely noticeable. Minimizing the time between injury and removal of the injected material is critical to successful treatment.
CHECK FOR LEAKS. Never use your hands to check for hydraulic leaks. Small leaks can be invisible to the naked eye. Use a piece of wood or cardboard to find suspected leaks.
EYE INJURIES. Safety glasses may not be suffi­cient to protect against pressurized hydraulic fluid. Depressurize hydraulic system before approach­ing a known leak.
FLUID CONTAMINATION. Make sure hydraulic system maintenance is performed in a clean and dust-free work area. Remove all contaminants from near hydraulic system openings and compo­nents prior to maintenance, to prevent debris from entering the hydraulic system. Always use lint-free rags when cleaning components. Contaminated hydraulic fluid may damage the machine and cause hydraulic system failure that can result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH LEAKS. Immediately stop machine and depressurize hydraulic system if a leak is discovered or suspected. Operating hydraulic system with leaks may increase the hazard of the situation and damage the machine.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT. Only use high­pressure hydraulic hose and steel hydraulic fit­tings with compatible threads when replacing components in the hydraulic system. DO NOT overtighten or use soft metal fittings such as brass or aluminum.
DEPRESSURIZE FOR MAINTENANCE. Always depressurize hydraulic system before performing any service or maintenance. Always stop machine and disconnect power before relieving hydraulic pressure. Verify hydraulic pressure is at 0 PSI before proceeding with maintenance.
PREVENTING LEAKS. Always support and restrain hydraulic hoses to minimize friction during operation that could lead to machine damage that may result in serious injury. Regularly inspect and perform maintenance on the hydraulic system. Following a regular schedule will decrease the likelihood of damage to the machine and reduce the risk of associated hazards.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre­cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.

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.
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.
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:
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:
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.
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.
The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit Requirements for 220V” has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground­ing prong. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances (see figure below).

Correcting Phase Polarity
This sub-section is provided for troubleshooting 3-phase power connections. If you discover dur­ing the test run that the machine will not operate, or that the motor runs backwards, the plug may be wired "out of phase," meaning that the polarity is incorrectly wired. This is a common situation with 3-phase power and it is easy to correct.
To correct phase polarity:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Operation Tips

The main power switch can be disabled by remov­ing the key, as shown below. Disabling the switch in this manner can prevent unauthorized opera­tion of the machine, which is important if it is not kept inside an access-restricted building or in a location where children may be present.
IMPORTANT: Disabling the switch only restricts its function. It is not a substitute for disconnecting machine from power when adjusting or servicing.
The following tips will help you safely and effec­tively operate your bandsaw, and help you get the maximum life out of your saw blades.
Tips for cutting:
Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock to the same length.
Clamp workpiece firmly in the vise jaws to ensure a straight cut through the material.
Use auto operation mode to speed production.
Allow blade to reach full speed before cutting workpiece. Never start a cut with the blade in contact with the workpiece, and do not start a cut on a sharp edge.
Chips should be curled and silvery. If the chips are thin and powder-like, increase your feed rate.

always disable machine unattended. Make sure to place key in a well-hidden or secure location!
Burned chips indicate a need to reduce your blade speed.
Wait until blade has completely stopped
• before removing workpiece from vise. Avoid touching the cut end—it could be very hot!
Support long pieces so they will not fall when cut. Flag long ends to alert passers-by of potential danger.
Adjust left blade guide as close as possible to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement.
Use coolant when possible to increase blade life.
Loosen blade tension at the end of each day to prolong blade life.

Workpiece
Inspection
Some metal workpieces are not safe to cut with a metal cutting bandsaw; instead, a different tool or machine should be used.

Selecting Blades

Selecting the right blade for the cut requires a knowledge of various blade characteristics.
Blade Terminology
Before cutting, inspect the material for any of the following conditions and take the neces­sary precautions:
Small or Thin Workpieces: Small or thin workpieces may be damaged during cut­ting—avoid cutting these workpieces if possi­ble. If you must cut a small or thin workpiece, attach it to or clamp it between larger scrap pieces that will both support the workpiece through the cut. Some thin sheet metals will not withstand the forces from this bandsaw during cutting; instead, use a shear, nibblers, or sheet metal nippers to cut these pieces.
Unstable Workpieces: Workpieces that can­not be properly supported or stabilized with the vise should not be cut on this bandsaw. Examples are chains, cables, workpieces with internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.
Material Hardness: Always factor in the hard­ness of the metal before cutting it. Hardened metals will take longer to cut, may require lubrication, and may require a different type of blade in order to efficiently cut them.
Tanks, Cylinders, Containers, Valves, Etc: Cutting into containers that are pressur­ized or contain gasses or liquids can cause explosions, fires, caustic burns, or machine damage. Avoid cutting any of these types of containers unless you have verified that the container is empty and it can be properly sup­ported during a cut.

Standard or Raker: Equally spaced teeth set
at "0" rake angle. Recommended for all purpose use.
Variable Pitch (VP): Varying gullet depth and tooth spacing, "0" rake angle, excellent chip removing capacity, and smooth cutting.
To select correct blade pitch:
Measure material thickness. This measure-
1.
ment is distance from where each tooth enters workpiece to where it exits workpiece.
Refer to "Material Width/Diameter" row of
2.
blade selection chart in Figure 23, and read across to find workpiece thickness you need to cut.
3. Refer to "Material Shapes" row and find shape of material to be cut.
In applicable row, read across to right and
4.
find box where row and column intersect. Listed in the box is minimum TPI recom­mended for variable tooth pitch blades.
The TPI range is represented by a "/" between
numbers. For example, 3/4 TPI is the same as 3–4 TPI.

Blade Breakage

Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to break. Some of these conditions are unavoidable and are the natural result of the stresses placed on the bandsaw; other causes of blade breakage are avoidable.
The most common causes of avoidable blade breakage are:
Faulty alignment or adjustment of the blade
guides.
Feeding blade through the workpiece too
fast.
Blade Care &
Break-In
Blade Care
To prolong blade life, always use a blade with the proper width, set, type, and pitch for each applica­tion. Maintain the appropriate feed rate and blade speed, and pay attention to the chip characteris­tics (Refer to Blade Speed Chart on Page 32 and Chip Inspection Chart on Page 33). Keep your blades clean, since dirty or gummed up blades pass through the cutting material with much more resistance than clean blades, causing unneces­sary heat.
Dull or damaged teeth.
Improperly-tensioned blade.
Left blade guide assembly set too far from the
workpiece. Adjust left blade guide assembly as close to workpiece as possible.
Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly fin-
ished braze or weld.
Leaving the blade tensioned when not in use.
Using the wrong blade pitch (TPI) for the
workpiece thickness. The general rule of thumb is to have no fewer than three teeth in contact with the workpiece when starting a cut and at all times during cutting.
Blade Break-In
The tips and edges of a new blade are extremely sharp. Cutting at too fast of a feed rate or too slow of a blade speed can fracture these tips and edges, quickly dulling the blade. Properly break­ing in a blade allows these sharp edges to wear without fracturing, thus keeping the blade sharp longer. Below is a typical break-in procedure. For aftermarket blades, refer to the manufacturer's break-in procedure to keep from voiding the warranty.
Use the Chip Inspection Chart on Page 33 as a guide to evaluate the chips and ensure that the optimal blade speed and feed rate are being used.
To properly break in new blade:
Choose correct speed for blade and material
1.
type.
2. Reduce feed rate by half for first 50–100 in2 of material cut.

feed rate when total width of blade is in cut.
Model G0887 (Mfd. Since 01/19)
Setting Blade Feed
Changing Blade
Rate
The speed at which the saw blade will cut through a workpiece is determined by blade type, feed rate, and feed pressure. The feed rate is con­trolled by the blade feed-rate dial on the control panel.
If the feed rate is not consistent, the headstock spring tension (see Page 73) or flow control valve (see Page 77) may need to be adjusted.
During operation, pay attention to the chips being produced from the cut and compare them to the Chip Inspection Chart on Page 33 to properly set the downfeed rate.
Note: If a lubricant is used on the cut, the feed rate can be increased by approximately 15% .
To set blade feed rate:
Speed
Model G0887 blade speeds: 106–315 FPM.
NOTICE
Only change speeds while the motor is run­ning. Changing speeds when machine is OFF may result in damage to your machine. Always make sure belt guard is in use.
To change blade speeds:
1. Turn bandsaw ON and allow motor to reach

Tensioning Blade

— If there is just enough space to fit fin-
gernail, then blade tracking is properly adjusted. Continue to
Step 3.
Proper blade tension is essential to avoid blade vibration, twist, or slippage on the wheels. A cor­rectly tensioned blade provides long blade life, straight cuts, and efficient cutting.
The three major signs of incorrect blade tension are: 1) The blade stalls in the cut and slips on the wheels, 2) the blade frequently breaks, and 3) the bandsaw does not make straight cuts.
The blade tension failure indicator light will illu­minate and the control panel will beep (see Identifying Failures on Page 40) if the bandsaw is turned ON and the tension is not set correctly.
Loosen blade tension at the end of each day to prolong blade life.

System
Coolant is a mixture of cutting fluid and water. While simple in concept and function, many issues must be taken into account to mix and use the correct coolant. Always follow all product warnings and specifications, and contact the cut­ting fluid manufacturer for unanswered questions.
Use the information below as a guideline to choose the appropriate coolant. Always refer to the cutting fluid manufacturer for specific applica­tion and safety information:
For cutting low alloy, low carbon, and gen­eral-purpose category metals with a bi-metal blade , use a water-soluble cutting fluid.
For cutting stainless steels, high carbon, and high alloy metals, brass, copper, and mild steels, use "Neat Cutting Oil" (commonly undiluted mineral oils) that have extreme pressure additives (EP additives).

with work stop (see Figure 56).
Workpiece
Work Stop
For cutting cast iron, coolant is not recommended.
Tip: Using a refractometer or hydrometer to replenish water in water-based coolant can extend the life of blades and coolant, and ensure consis­tent cutting results.
BIOLOGICAL AND POISON HAZARD! Use proper per­sonal protection equipment when handling coolant and follow federal, state, and fluid manufacturer require­ments to properly dispose of coolant.

FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT cut magnesium when using oil­water solutions as coolant! Always use coolant intend­ed for magnesium. Water in the solution could cause a magnesium-chip fire.
This bandsaw has a built-in coolant system that can extend the life of your bandsaw blades by lowering the temperature of the blade and workpiece if used properly when cutting.
Note: Too much flow at the fluid nozzle will make a mess and can make the work area unsafe; and not enough fluid at the cut will overheat the blade, causing the blade teeth to load up and break.
IMPORTANT: Monitor coolant level frequently to keep system working properly. DO NOT let cool­ant level fall below halfway level on filter screen (see Figure 58).
NEVER run machine without coolant in the reservoir or when coolant is below low mark or you will overheat pump and void warranty!
Using Coolant System
Add coolant (refer to Adding Coolant on Page
57) before using coolant system.
Turn coolant pump ON with the coolant pump but­ton ( to control flow of cutting fluid (see Figure 57).

Always wear safety gog­gles when servicing the hydraulic system.
The hydraulic system must be maintained on a regular basis and kept in good operating condition to avoid premature wear of moving parts, hoses, and valves.
If you have never maintained a hydraulic system before, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, get formal training, or seek the help of a qualified hydraulic service technician.
Hydraulic systems are highly pressurized and hydraulic fluid is hot after use. Should a leak or malfunction take place, any maintenance to hydraulic lines and valves should only occur when hydraulic pressure has been relieved and fluid has cooled.
Checking Hydraulic Pressure
The hydraulic system pressure should not exceed 498 PSI. Use the following steps to check the sys­tem pressure and adjust it as needed.

Maintenance
The coolant system consists of a reservoir, pump, and hoses with valves. The pump pulls coolant from the reservoir and sends it to the valves, which control the flow of coolant. As the cool­ant leaves the work area, it drains through the machine base, where the swarf and metal chips are screened out, and back into the reservoir.
Although most swarf from machining operations is screened out of the coolant before it returns to the tank, small particles will accumulate in the bottom of the reservoir in the form of sludge. To prevent this sludge from being pulled into the pump and damaging it, the pump’s intake is positioned above the bottom of the tank. This works well when the tank is regularly cleaned; however, if excess sludge is allowed to accumulate, the pump will inevitably begin sucking it up.
Hazards
As coolant ages and gets used, dangerous microbes can proliferate and create a biological hazard. The risk of exposure to this hazard can be greatly reduced by replacing the old coolant on a monthly basis, or as indicated by the manufac­turer of the cutting fluid.
When working with the coolant, minimize expo­sure to your skin, eyes, and lungs by wearing the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), such as long-sleeve waterproof gloves, protective clothing, splash-resistant safety goggles, and a NIOSH-approved respirator.

Adjusting
Headstock Spring
The spring under the headstock that controls downward pressure of the headstock during cut­ting operations should have the correct tension. The tension should only be adjusted if tension is too loose, resulting in premature blade dulling or crooked cuts. Consult the Troubleshooting sec­tion beginning on Page 60 to confirm this is the source of the problem before adjusting.
Adjust cap screws shown in Figure 115 to increase or decrease spring tension.

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.
The photos and diagrams included in this section are best viewed in color. You can view these pages in color at www.grizzly.com.
