Glossary Of Terms
The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate
to this sawmill and milling in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting or operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!
Board Foot: Unit of measurement for volume
of lumber cut from a log. Used to measure
productivity and cost. A board foot is typically
measured as a piece of wood 1' x 1' x 1", or 144
cubic inches.
Burl: A tough outgrowth on a log with deformed
grains that make elaborate patterns. Burls are
difficult to cut, but often have unique patterns
desirable to woodworkers.
Cant: Partially cut log with one to four flat sides.
A cant might be cut on a sawmill and moved
to another machine, finished on the sawmill, or
sold as-is.
Carriage: Structure that supports the engine and
saw blade and moves along the track.
Flatsawn: Lumber sawn nearly parallel to the
wood grain. Most efficient lumber to mill, but
most susceptible to warping and cupping. Also
called plainsawn lumber.
Flitch: Piece of wood with two flat surfaces and
one or two natural edges. Flitches can be
edged to produce finished lumber.
Grade Sawing: Process of rotating log or cant
multiple times throughout milling in order to
produce lumber of the highest possible grade.
Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every
point along two given lines or planes; i.e., the
rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw
blade.
Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect and
form right angles; i.e., the blade is perpendicular to the table surface.
Pith: The central rings in a log or tree. The pith
is the oldest wood, created when the tree was
young. It is prone to cracking as wood dries and
shrinks.
Plainsawn: See "Flatsawn".
Quartersawn: Lumber sawn so the grain is
perfectly perpendicular to the flat surface of
the board. Quartersawn lumber is resistent to
warping and cupping, but is time consuming
and produces the most waste wood.
Riftsawn: Lumber sawn so that the grain is close
to perpendicular to the flat surface of the board.
Riftsawn lumber is resistant to warping and
cupping, but is time consuming to mill.
Slab: Piece of wood with one flat surface and the
rest is natural wood. As a by product of milling
lumber, slabs are often sectioned and used as
firewood.
Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece
after the saw blade passes through during a
cutting operation.
Live Sawing: Process of cutting parallel through
log or cant from top to bottom. Most efficient
method of milling that produces flatsawn, quartersawn, and riftsawn lumber.
-6-
Sticker: Pieces of narrow wood (approximately
1"x1") used to separate lumber that is stacked
for air drying. Usually made of light wood that
will not stain the drying lumber.
Stickering: Process of stacking wood using stickers.
Waney: Edge of a board that is tapered or unfinished.

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.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Sawmills
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during
operation or if blade breakage occurs. Death or sickness can occur from carbon monoxide
poisoning if operating in an enclosed space. To reduce these risks, anyone operating this
machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
OPERATING POSITION. Keep hands and feet
away from all moving parts and do not reach over
or across sawmill during operation. Never support
lumber by hand during operation. Use non-skid
safety shoes and hardhat as needed.
AMPUTATION/ENTANGLEMENT. Do not operate this sawmill without blade cover in place and
properly functioning limit switch. Loose clothing,
jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn
into working parts.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION. The sawmill engine
produces carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous
gas. Make sure work area is adequately ventilated.
Never operate this machine in an enclosed area
such as a shed, garage, or basement. Do not operate machine near windows or doors where carbon
monoxide can be drawn into an occupied space.
HOT ENGINE. Engine and other parts of machine
get hot during operation. Contact with hot components can cause severe burns. Allow engine
to cool before placing hands near engine, adding
fuel, or performing any service or maintenance.
MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Always shut down
engine and wait for parts to come to a stop before
making adjustments, changing blade, or servicing
machine. Consult engine manual for proper shut
down procedure to prevent injury from accidental
startup.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for
cracks and missing teeth before each use. When
replacing blades, always shut off engine, wear
gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to protect eyes, and ensure blade is installed with teeth
oriented in correct direction.
CORRECT USE. Do not mill lumber that exceeds
machine capacity or attempt to saw any material other than lumber. Distribute load evenly
using approved supports and clamps to prevent
machine from tipping or lumber from rolling off
track. Excess or improper material increases the
risk of injury.
OPERATING AREA. Only operate sawmill on a
reasonably flat and level surface with space to
work around the machine. Be aware of potential
hazards in the work area such as other machinery, lumber, and power lines above or below the
ground. Operating in a confined space increases
risk of injury.
FIRE HAZARD. Clean sawdust buildup around
engine and exhaust areas after each use. Do not
operate near flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.
Sparks can ignite dust or fumes. Do not operate
machine near open flame and never smoke during operation.
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.
Model G0901 (Mfd. Since 11/22)
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different.

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:
Changing Blade
Blade changes entail removing the existing blade,
installing the new blade, then properly adjusting
the blade tension, tracking, and guides.
• Material Type: This machine is intended for
cutting natural wood logs only. The maximum
diameter of log that can be sawn is 28". This
machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass,
stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a
sawmill may lead to injury and machine/blade
damage.
• Debarking: Bark can trap and hide foreign
objects, such as tramp metal or hidden
nails, and can cause excessive blade wear.
Consider debarking your logs for increased
safety and longer blade life.
• Branches and Uneven Logs: Use a chainsaw or other saw to remove any branches
that prevent the log from lying evenly against
the track and log supports. Similarly, uneven
burls protruding from the log may need to be
removed before the log can be sawn.
Disconnect spark plug wire
before performing adjustments or maintenance to
reduce risk of accidental
start-up injury.
Saw blades are sharp and
may cause lacerations. To
reduce the risk of injury,
wear leather gloves when
handling saw blades.
Removing Blade

housing and under guide rollers (see Figure
26), then slide blade over each wheel.
A properly tensioned blade is essential for making accurate cuts, maximizing blade life, and
making other bandsaw adjustments. However, a
properly tensioned blade will not compensate for
cutting problems caused by excessive feed rate,
hardness variations between workpieces, and
improper blade selection.
An over-tensioned blade increases the chance of
the blade breaking or wheel misalignment. Undertensioned blades wander excessively while cutting and will not track properly during operation.
Use a blade tensioning gauge to determine how
much to tighten the blade tension handle (see
Page 34).
IMPORTANT: Always release blade tension when
storing machine. Storing the blade with high blade
tension for extended time period can deform
blade and weaken tensioning spring, reducing the
durability and accuracy of the machine.
6. Adjust blade tension, then adjust guide roll-ers (see Tensioning Blade on this page and
Adjusting Guide Rollers on Page 24).

3. Push blade tension handle away from
machine, then watch blade as you turn handle
clockwise until desired tension is achieved. If
blade shifts or does not sit squarely on blade
wheels during step, release tension, reposition blade, then re-tension.
Note:Refer to blade manufacturer for recom-
mended tension. 15,000–20,000 PSI is common for most types of steel blades.

Types of Lumber
The orientation of the woodgrain on a piece of
wood has a large impact on the attributes of the
lumber. Whether it is for structural, aesthetic, or
economic reasons, it is important for a sawyer to
know the output of their labors.
Flatsawn
Quartersawn
Riftsawn
Figure 39. Types of lumber taken from a log.
Quartersawn lumber is less likely to cup or twist
when dried. However, producing perfectly quarter sawn lumber is typically time consuming and
wastes a large volume of wood.
Some types of wood, such as white oak, show ray
flecks on the surface of the board when quartersawn, which is highly sought after by woodworkers. Taking the time to produce more quarter
sawn lumber can pay off, but it is important to
know what you are sawing and how the lumber
will be used before putting in the extra work.
Riftsawn Lumber
Sometimes classified as a type of quartersawn
lumber, riftsawn lumber is characterized by
woodgrain between 45°–70° to the face of the
lumber. It will never have perfectly perpendicular
woodgrain or show ray flecks.
Riftsawn lumber is often the by-product of quarter
sawing methods. Many sawyers consider riftsawn
lumber to be a happy medium between structural
integrity and milling time.
Flatsawn Lumber (Plainsawn)
Flatsawn lumber is characterized by woodgrain
that is less than 45° to the face of the lumber,
called "tangential grain."
This often results in unique cathedral patterns on
the face of the lumber. However, the tangential
grain contributes to more cupping and twisting
during drying. Because flatsawn lumber is fastest and most plentiful to produce, it is the most
affordable lumber on the market. The majority of
construction quality lumber is flatsawn.
Quartersawn Lumber
Quartersawn lumber is characterized by woodgrain
nearly perpendicular to the board. By some definitions, quartersawn lumber has grain more than
45° to the face of the lumber. In this manual,
quartersawn refers to lumber with grain between
75°–90° to the face.
Cants
Cants are sawn logs with at least one finished
side. Cants with four finished sides are often used
in construction or resawn into smaller pieces of
dimensional lumber.
Figure 40. Example of live sawing a cant into
dimensional lumber.
-28-
Model G0901 (Mfd. Since 11/22)
Drying Lumber
Slab
Cant Sawing
Before cutting your first log, have a plan for drying your lumber. Depending on the species of
wood, a green log might have anywhere from
60%–180% moisture content, and needs to be
dried to approximately 6%–11% before it can be
finished and used.
With the moisture loss, lumber will shrink and
warp. Depending on the drying conditions and
species of wood, air-drying can take anywhere
from several weeks to many months.
The most common method is air-drying, in which
freshly cut lumber is stacked outdoors with stickers and weights and the ends are sealed with
latex paint. Weighing down the stack and sealing
the board ends help to minimize warping as the
wood shrinks. When the lumber reaches approximately 20% moisture content, the stack is moved
indoors until drying is complete.
Sawing a log into a square cant is a fundamental
sawing operation for any sawyer. When sawing a
cant, slabs are removed from four sides of the log,
leaving a square beam.
To saw a cant:
1. Inspect log and determine size of cant to be
produced. Mark planned cuts on end of log.
Load log on track bed and secure with log
2.
supports and log clamp.
Cut slab from top of log and remove it (see
3.
Figure 42).

Tracking moisture content can be done by regularly weighing and recording several of the drying boards. When the rate of weight loss slow
or stops, the wood has stopped drying. Moisture
meters (see Page 36) provide a fast and accurate
alternative to weight tracking.
Due to the many variables involved in drying lumber, it is important to research and plan for your
specific needs. Understand the drying environment and type of wood in order to ensure the end
product meets your needs.

Note:It is essential that cut face of cant is
secured perpendicular to track on first rotation. When first (2) cuts are perpendicular,
remaining sides will be easy to square to log
supports.
5. Repeat Steps 3—4 for each side of cant.
6. If square cant was goal of operation, con-
gratulations, you are finished! To cut cant into
dimensional labor, proceed to Live Sawing.
Live Sawing
Live sawing is a method of sawing logs that is fast
and produces very little wasted wood. In a live
sawing procedure, the log is cut from top to bottom and is rarely rotated more than once.
Lumber produced when live sawing will range
from flatsawn (cuts made near the top and bottom) to quartersawn (cuts made near the middle
of the log). Because no specific type of lumber is
prioritized, live sawing maximizes the amount of
board feet produced per log.

secured and supports below blade.
7. Edge flitches as needed.
— If available, an edger can be used to
quickly and easily edge lumber.
— Without an edger, sawmill can be used.
Refer to Edging on Page 31.
Note: Live-sawing square cant will produce lum-
ber that does not need to be edged. However, it
typically produces more waste than live-sawing
log and edging it..
-30-
Model G0901 (Mfd. Since 11/22)
Edging
Repeat Steps 2–3 until all flitches have been
4.
edged once (see Figure 47).
Edging a flitch involves removing the natural or
waney edges, turning it into lumber with four finished sides. Using an edger is the quickest and
simplest way of edging, but edging can also be
done with a sawmill. For many sawyers running
singe-mill operations, using a mill for edging is
the default.
To edge flitches using a sawmill:
Clamp multiple flitches to track bed, using log
1.
supports to ensure flitches are perpendicular
to track (see Figure 46). Take care that log
clamp holds flitches tight against supports.
Cut to remove bark from the tallest flitches.

Quarter Sawing
Quarter sawing is any method of milling a log
that produces primarily quartersawn lumber. In
general, this produces a mixture of quartersawn
and riftsawn lumber. Producing only quartersawn
lumber can be time-consuming and leaves a lot
of scrap.
The method below is relatively simple and produces quartersawn and riftsawn lumber. Many
other methods exist—all with unique benefits and
downsides. A sawyer should choose a method
based on the log used, lumber needed, and personal preference.
To quarter-saw a log:
1. Inspect log and outline a sawing plan.
Consider orientation of log on track and
where to start cutting to produce the best
lumber. Mark planned cuts on end of log.
5.
Rotate cant 90° and clamp to track bed, using
log supports to ensure cant is perpendicular
to track (see Figure 50). Take care that log
clamp holds cant tight against supports.
Cut a thin slab and remove it from cant (see

SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
Schedule
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine immediately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Dull or damaged saw blade.
Wood chip and sawdust buildup.
•
Low fuel and lubrication levels.
•
Damaged or worn guides rollers.
•
Monthly Check
• V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
Cleaning

Grease
Fitting
Cleaning the Model G0901 is relatively easy and
should be done whenever the machine operation
is finished for the day. Vacuum excess wood chips
and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with
a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin
dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Lubrication
Most bearings on this machine, except for those
with grease fittings, are sealed and permanently
lubricated. Leave these bearings alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Apply light machine oil to the lift chain every 40
hours of use, prior to storage, or as needed. Clean
machine thoroughly before applying oil. The goal
is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust.

Tensioning/
Replacing V-Belts
2. Open blade cover and secure to blade cover
latch (see Figure69).
The G0901 uses V-belts as tires on the blade
wheels. The drive belt transfers power from the
engine to the wheels. The blade and drive belt
must be tensioned properly to ensure proper
operation. It is essential that both drive belt and
follower belt are free of cracks, fraying, and wear.
V-belt condition and tension should be checked at
least every 3 months —more often if the sawmill is
used daily.
To replace the V-belts, you must remove the
blade. After installation, you must re-tension the
drive belt.

Adjusting Blade
Tracking
Rear of blade should also track about 1⁄32"–
1
⁄16" in front of roller flanges on blade guides
(see Figure 75).
Checking Blade Tracking
"Trac k ing " refers to how the blade rides on the
sawmill wheels. Proper tracking is important for
achieving correct blade tension and cutting accurately. Improper tracking reduces cutting accuracy, causes excess vibration, and places stress on
the blade and other components. The orientation
of the wheels in relation to each other determines
how the blade tracks.
To check blade tracking:
1. DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE!
2. Open blade cover and secure to blade cover latch (see Figure 74).
. Rotate wheels by hand and observe blade
3
position. Blade should track on wheels so
rear of blade is aligned with rear edge of
V-belts (see Figure 74)

Adjusting Wheel Shaft Position
If blade tracking is out of alignment, the wheel
shafts can be adjusted to change the angle of
the wheels. Properly adjusted wheels should be
parallel when the blade is tensioned.
If blade tracking appears to be out of alignment,
we recommend first replacing the blade before
adjusting blade shaft position. A worn belt can
become "bell mouthed" and throw off wheel
coplanarity just enough to cause problems. Guide
rollers out of adjustment can make the blade wobble or wander. Before adjusting wheel shaft position, check all of these. The blade wheels were
carefully factory set to be coplanar and parallel
before your saw was shipped so adjusting wheel
shaft position should be done as a last resort.
