9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance 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 extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
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.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to

Additional Safety Instructions For Bandsaws
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. 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 equipment or poor work results.
8. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND
SMOOTHLY. Do not force or twist blade
while cutting, especially when sawing
small radii.
9. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO
CUT METAL or other material except
wood.
10. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW
BLADE after turning off the saw. Allow it to
come to a complete stop before you leave
it unattended.
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.
12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE
HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits
in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.
13. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING
THE MACHINE! Then contact our service
department or ask a qualified expert how
the operation should be performed.
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.
2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR
THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.
Serious personal injury could occur.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW
WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND
BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.
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.
5. CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY
SUPPORTED by the table or some type of
support fixture. Always support round
stock in a V-block.
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.
7. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED before beginning a cut.
Like all power tools, there is danger associated with bandsaws. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
G1019 14'' Bandsaw -5-
110V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
The motor supplied with the Model G1019 is a
dual-voltage 110V or 220V motor prewired for
110V. Under 110V use, the motor draws approximately 12 amps. We recommend a 15 amp circuit
breaker for 110V. This should be satisfactory for
normal use, while providing enough protection
against circuit damage caused by power surges.
Grizzly recommends that the circuit you use
should be dedicated, (i.e., the Model G1019
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.
220V Operation
The motor supplied with the Model G1019 can be
rewired to operate at 220V. See enclosed wiring
diagram for details.
If converting to operate at 220V, a suitable 220V
plug must be wired in. When operating at 220V,
we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-15 plug
and outlet. See Figure 2. You may also “hard-
wire” the machine directly to your panel, provided
you place a disconnect switch near the machine.
Check the electrical codes in your area for
specifics on wiring requirements.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 6 amps at 220V. We recommend a 15 amp circuit breaker. This should be satisfactory for normal use while providing enough protection
against circuit damage caused by power surges.

-6- G1019 14'' Bandsaw
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding provides electric current a path of least resistance to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-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.
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.
Should it be necessary to use an extension cord,
make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade
S) or better. Refer to the chart on page 3 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.
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.
Extension Cords
We have covered some basic electrical
requirements for the safe operation of your
Bandsaw. These requirements are not necessarily 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.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually
grounded. Under no circumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be
removed. Serious injury
may occur.

Clean up
Site Considerations
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 because they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow
the usage instructions on the product you choose
to clean.
FLOOR LOAD
Your Model G1019 Bandsaw represents a moderately large weight load in a small footprint. Most
commercial or home shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the Model G1019. If
you question the strength of your floor, you can
opt to reinforce it.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. 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 efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself
sufficient room to safely run your machines in any
foreseeable operation.
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 use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have low flash
points which makes
them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion
and burning exists if
these products are
used. Serious personal
injury may occur.
Do not smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explosion 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 ingested. Always work in wellventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources
when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and
towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environmental 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 equipment.

Stand
SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
The Model G1019 Bandsaw stand is an A-frame,
panel-style stand. The front and rear panels are
connected with one panel at the top and two
cross braces near the bottom.
Sometimes sheet metal parts have a tendency to
''spring'' after they are formed. For this reason,
you may need to use a little extra force to align
holes to insert bolts.
Figure 3. Attach rubber feet first.
1. Start with the stand panel with the switch
mounted in it. Turn the panel upside down
and attach the rubber feet using (2)
1
⁄4''-20 x

®
head screws, (2) flat washers
and (2) hex nuts provided. Tighten down.
See Figure 3. Repeat this step with the
second stand panel.
Keep clothing rolled up
and out of the way of
machinery and keep
hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses during the entire assembly
process. Failure to comply 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.
Disconnect power to the
machine when performing any maintenance or
assembly. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
