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.
7. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND
SMOOTHLY. Do not force or twist blade
while cutting, especially when sawing
small radii.
8. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO
CUT METAL or other material except
wood.
9. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED before beginning a cut.
10. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW
BLADE after turning the saw off. Allow it to
come to a complete stop before you leave
it unattended.
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.
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.
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.
Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw -5-
220V Operation
The motor supplied with the G1019Z can be operated at either 110V or 220V. The motor comes
prewired for 110V.
If converting to operate at 220V, a suitable 220V
plug must be wired in. Refer to the wiring diagram
insert supplied with this manual. When operating
at 220V, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-
15 plug and outlet. See Figure 2. Check the elec-
trical codes in your area for specifics on wiring
requirements.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 6 amps @ 220V. We recommend a 10 amp circuit breaker. This should be satisfactory for normal use while providing enough protection
against damage caused by power surges.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The G1019Z Bandsaw motor is prewired to oper-
ate at 110V. See Figure 1. Under normal 110V
use, the motor draws approximately 12 amps. We
recommend a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp
slow-blow fuse.
We also recommend that the circuit you use
should be dedicated, (i.e., the G1019Z should
provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent
circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw,
contact our Service Department or your local
electrical contractor.
Figure 1. Typical 110V 3-prong plug and outlet.
Figure 2. Typical 220V 3-prong plug and outlet.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an 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.
-6- Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw
Should it be necessary to use an extension cord,
make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade
S) or better. Refer to chart in the Safety
Instructions section to determine the minimum
gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord
must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.
Always repair or replace extension cords when
they become worn or damaged.
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.

Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw -9-
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 as they may damage painted surfaces
should they come in contact. Always follow the
usage instructions on the product you choose for
clean up.
FLOOR LOAD
Your G1019Z 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 G1019Z. If you question
the strength of your floor, you can opt to reinforce
it.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the 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.

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.

5. Check for proper pulley alignment by plac-
ing a straightedge on the outside edge of
the upper pulley so that it overlaps the
motor pulley. If the straightedge touches
both pulleys evenly, the pulleys are aligned.
If the straightedge does not touch both pulleys evenly, the pulleys are not aligned.
Loosen one or both of the pulley setscrews
on their shafts and slide the pulleys toward
alignment. Remember to retighten the
setscrews when finished. See Figure 6.
Figure 6. Schematic of proper pulley alignment.

Blade Tension
Figure 14. Location of blade guide controls.
H
I
The controls for the blade guide are shown in
Figure 14. The blade guide should always be
positioned so there is minimal space between the
guide and the top of the workpiece.
H. This knob locks the upper blade guide
assembly in position. The upper guide
should be adjusted to within
1
⁄4" of the workpiece for optimum blade support. Do not
operate bandsaw without locking the guide
post knob.
I. These spring-loaded bolts apply pressure
against the U-clamp to prevent the guide
post from dropping when the upper blade
guide knob is loosened.
Proper blade tension is important for optimum
bandsaw performance. See Figure 13 for band-
saw tension controls. To increase blade tension,
turn the blade tension knob clockwise. To reduce
blade tension, turn the blade tension knob
counter-clockwise.
Since a variety of blades will work well with this
saw, final blade tension ultimately depends on the
type and size of blade you use. Thin blades
require less tension than wide blades. Too much
tension will result in blade breakage.
Do not make adjustments while the bandsaw is running. Ensure that the switch is off,
power is disconnected, and moving parts
have stopped before making adjustments.
Check adjustments while power is still disconnected by manually turning the bandsaw
wheel by hand.
A properly tensioned blade will track the cutting
line accurately and the cut will be smoother.
Proper blade tension can best be achieved by
determining the amount of blade deflection:
1. Ensure that the power is off and the saw is
unplugged. Raise the upper guide assembly all the way and lock in place.
2. Press, with moderate pressure, on the face
of the blade with your thumb.
3. Turn the tensioning knob to adjust the
amount of tension. The blade should deflect
about
1
/4".
If the tension seems correct, make all of the other
adjustments to the saw and test run it. If the blade
is not cutting properly, the tension may be incorrect and readjustment may be needed.
Remember to reduce the blade tension when the
bandsaw is not in use, this will help prevent premature breakage of the blade and deformation of
the rubber tires.

Figure 15. Upper blade guide assembly.
Blade Tracking
The bandsaw blade is dangerously sharp.
Use extreme caution when working near the
saw blade. Failure to exercise care could
result in severe injury.
Whenever changing a blade or adjusting tension
and tracking, the upper and lower blade support
bearings and guide blocks must be re-adjusted.
Always adjust the assemblies away from the
blade before installing a new blade or making
blade tracking adjustments. After blade tension
and tracking are set correctly, re-adjust the upper
and lower support bearings and guide block
assemblies into position. See Figure 15 for upper
blade guide and Figure 16 for lower blade guide.
Support Bearings
The support bearings back-up the blade during
the sawing operation. To adjust the support bearings, loosen the thumbscrews securing the sup-
port bearing shafts. See Figure 17. Adjust the
shafts in or out so that the upper and lower support bearings are within
1
/64" of the back edge of
the blade. Retighten the thumbscrews.
Blade Guides
The blade should track so the body of the blade is
centered on the upper wheel and tire. The rubber
tire is slightly crowned in the middle which helps
keep the blade centered and avoids having the
teeth of the blade come in contact with the tire
material. See Figure 13 for bandsaw tracking
controls.
To adjust blade tracking:
1. Disconnect the bandsaw from the power
source.
2. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks
and support bearings away from the blade.
3. Loosen the locknut on the tracking control
knob and turn the knob clockwise or
counter-clockwise while turning the upper
wheel by hand. When turning the wheel by
hand, ensure that there are no sharp
edges to cut your hand.
4. Turn the upper wheel and tracking knob
until the blade is centered on the upper
wheel and tire. Turn the wheel at least three
more full turns to ensure that the blade is
tracking in its final position.
5. Retighten the locknut and double check
blade tracking.
6. Install the upper wheel cover.
Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw -19-
Guide Blocks
For optimum support, the guide block assemblies
should be adjusted so they are just behind the
gullet line (the hollow points) of the blade. To
adjust the guide block assemblies, loosen the
thumbscrews securing the guide block yoke
assemblies. Move in or out in relation to the blade
gullets. Once adjusted, retighten the thumbscrew.
Now adjust the guide blocks. Loosen the guide
block thumbscrews and adjust each block so it is
about 0.004" from the blade. This is about the
same thickness as a piece of typing paper.
Retighten the thumbscrews and turn the upper
wheel by hand through a complete revolution of
the blade length to ensure that the blade weld
passes through the guide blocks unhindered.

Eccentric Guide Post
There is an eccentric on the lower end of the
guide post where the the guide assembly attaches. This is held to the post by a setscrew and can
be loosened and tightened with an Allen
®
wrench.
Figure 15A.
The eccentric allows the upper blade guide
assembly to be moved to accommodate various
blade sizes and wheel configurations.
Loosen the knob on the guide post. Rotate the
guide block assembly on the guide post so the
blade is directly in the center of the guide block
legs. Retighten the knob and make sure the
assembly didn’t move. If needed, adjust the
eccentric on the post to make the assembly
accommodate the blade.
-20- Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw
Table Adjustments
The bandsaw table will tilt left 10° and right 45°
from horizontal. When tilting the table to the right,
the positive stop adjusting bolt automatically
indexes the table perpendicular to the blade.
To tilt the table to the right:
1. Loosen the two trunnion knobs below the
table trunnions. See Figure 18 for location.
2. Position the table to the desired angle.
Refer to the angle gauge on the front table
support trunnion.
3. Tighten the trunnion knobs.
Figure 18. Table tilt trunnion knobs.
Figure 19. Table tilted left.
To tilt the table to the left:
1. Loosen the two trunnion knobs below the
table trunnions.
2. Tilt the table to the right enough to gain
clearance to the positive stop bolt. Loosen
the lock nut, then remove the positive stop
bolt.
3. The table will now tilt left to approximately
10°. See Figure 19.
4. When the left tilt operation is complete, rein-
stall the positive stop bolt.
Trunnion Knobs
To adjust the positive stop so the table will be perpendicular (90°) to the blade:
1. Loosen two trunnion knobs and the locknut
securing the positive stop adjusting bolt.
2. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and
place a 6" adjustable square or try-square
on the table against the blade. See Figure
20. Adjust the positive stop adjusting bolt so
that the table is positioned at a 90° angle to
the blade.
3. Secure the trunnion knobs and lock the pos-
itive adjusting bolt by tightening the locknut.
Ensure that the bolt does not turn while
tightening the locknut. Set the angle pointer
to zero for future reference.

Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw -21-
Blade Lead
Blade lead occurs when you are attempting a
straight cut and the blade wanders to one side or
the other. This usually happens (1) if the blade
tension isn’t correct, (2) if the teeth are dull on one
side, or (3) if the teeth are heavier on one side of
the blade than the other.
If you don’t have time to switch blades or readjust
your bandsaw, you can temporarily compensate
for blade lead by slightly rotating your table. To do
this, rotate the table to match the angle that your
blade is leading. Your purpose in doing this is to
“trick” your bandsaw into cutting straight.
If you are having blade lead problems with your
miter gauge, do the same thing by slightly rotating
your table so the miter slot matches the angle that
the blade is leading.
Figure 21. Squaring table to blade.
Table
Miter Slot
Table Insert
The table should also be 90° to the back of the
blade. If the table is not perpendicular to the back
of the blade, shim the table in the desired direction with washers. Remove the trunnion bolts and
add washers between the table and trunnion so
the table tilts in the desired direction. Electrical
washers are very thin and will allow fine adjustment.
The table can be shifted side to side to properly
align the miter slot and the blade:
1. Loosen the 6 trunnion bolts underneath the
table.
2. Use the largest width blade available
installed in the machine. Lay a straightedge
along side the blade and inspect it closely to
make sure it is parallel to the blade. Make
sure there is no deflection of the blade from
the straightedge. Measure the distance
between the edge of the miter gauge slot
and the straightedge at points A and B. See
Figure 21. Distance A should be approximately equal to distance B. Adjust the table
slightly until these distances are equal.
3. Secure the table and ensure that unwanted
shifting did not occur during retightening.
After all adjustments are made, cut a test
piece of wood using the miter gauge and
measure to see if the cut was square. If it
wasn’t, adjust the table accordingly until you
can cut a test piece of wood square.
-22- Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw
Fence operation is controlled by the threaded
knob located on the front of the fence. The knob,
when screwed tight, locks the fence to the front
rail. To change the fence position, loosen the
knob and slide the fence along the rail. Use a tape
measure or ruler to position the fence from the
blade.
Loosen the motor mounting bolts and move the
motor accordingly to slacken the V-Belt. It should
now be easy to move the belt onto the pulleys of
choice. Adjust belt tension and check the alignment according to the instructions in the
Adjustments Section. Refer to Figure 22 to deter-
mine which pulley pair is required for the desired
blade speed.
Speed Changes

Once assembly is complete, adjustments are
done to your satisfaction and tools are safely put
away, you are ready to test run the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the switch in the START position. Make
sure that your finger is poised on the switch to
press in the STOP position, just in case there’s a
problem. The bandsaw should run smoothly, with
little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or
unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an
unusual noise or vibration, contact our Service
Department for help.
Test Run
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the
machine while it is running. Wait until the
machine is turned off, unplugged and all
working parts have come to a stop before
you do anything! Serious personal injury
will result.
Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw -23-
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
There are many interrelated adjustment points to
consider when operating this type of saw.
Therefore, cutting results can be somewhat
unpredictable if some or all of the crucial adjustments are neglected. Here are a few simple
things you can do to increase the predictability of
your bandsaw’s performance:
1. Always use a sharp, high-quality blade.
Although you might save a few dollars initially, buying a cheap blade will give you
cheap results. As a rule, spending more
now will save you money later.
2. Use the right blade for the job. Resawing
with a
1
/8" blade or doing scrollwork with a
3
/4" blade are extreme examples of using
the wrong blade for the job.
3. Allow the saw to cut. Don’t force the work-
piece into the blade. When cutting curves or
irregular shapes, remember that while
negotiating a curve, the blade should still be
cutting the wood. Simply turning the workpiece will only bind the blade and could
cause it to break.
4. Maintain your bandsaw in top condition.
See Section 7 of this manual for maintenance procedures.
General
Keep clothing rolled up
and out of the way of
machinery and keep
hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses during all operations on the
shaper. Failure to comply may result in serious
personal injury.
Always wear a dust
mask when operating
the bandsaw. Using this
machine produces sawdust which may cause
allergic reactions or respiratory problems.
NOTICE
The following section was designed to give
instructions on the basic operations of this
bandsaw. However, it is in no way comprehensive of every bandsaw application. WE
STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read
books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your
shaper. There are many different jigs that
can be built to increase safety, accuracy,
and types of cuts.
Disconnect power to the
machine when performing any maintenance or
assembly. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
-24- Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw
When removing or installing blades, make sure
the power is disconnected and moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
To remove the blade:
1. Back guide block assemblies and support
bearings away from the blade and raise the
guide post up and away from the table.
2. Release blade tension by turning the blade
tension knob counter-clockwise.
3. Remove table insert and tapered table pin.
4. Remove top and bottom wheel covers.
5. Loosen the two blade guard mounting bolts
and slide the guard off of the mounting
studs.
6. Pull blade straight off the wheels, rotate 90°
and feed along the table through the table
slot.
To install the blade:
1. Hold blade in both hands so the teeth of the
blade in your right hand are pointing down.
2. Feed blade into the slot in the table. Turn
the blade 90° and position over the top and
bottom wheels. The teeth of the blade must
be pointing down toward the table.
3. Apply tension to the blade by turning the
tension control knob. Rotate the upper
wheel slowly by hand as tension is applied
to allow the blade to center itself on the
wheel. Adjust tracking if needed. See
“Blade Tension” and “Blade Tracking” in
Section 5 for details.
4. Re-adjust upper and lower blade guides
and support bearings as stated in the
Adjustment section.
Changing Blades
A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that
is subjected to tremendous strain. Be sure you
use quality blades of the proper width for the various types of cutting operations.
Always use the widest blade possible for the
workpiece you are cutting. Use narrow blades
only for sawing small, abrupt curves and for fine,
delicate work. Bandsaw blades can be purchased
welded, set and sharpened ready-for-use from
most saw shops. We also supply bandsaw blades
in widths of
1
/8", 3⁄16", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4", for this
saw. Please refer to our current catalog for prices
and ordering information.
Always use good quality saw blades that are
sharp and choose the right blade for the job.
Using a dull or poor quality blade, or the wrong
size or type, often produces unsatisfactory results
Many conditions may cause blade breakage.
Breakage is, in some cases, unavoidable, since it
is the natural result of the peculiar stresses to
which bandsaw blades are subjected. Blade
breakage is also due to avoidable causes.
Avoidable breakage is most often the result of
poor care or judgement on the part of the operator. The most common causes of blade breakage
are: (1) faulty alignment and adjustment of the
guides; (2) forcing or twisting a wide blade around
a tight curve or short radius; (3) feeding too fast;
(4) tooth dullness or absence of sufficient set; (5)
excessive blade tension; (6) upper blade guide
assembly set too high above the workpiece; (7)
using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished
weld; and (8), continuously running the bandsaw
when not in use.
The Grizzly G1019Z 14" Bandsaw uses 98"
blades.
Blade Information
Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw -25-
Ripping is the process of cutting a board into two
or more thinner boards, generally in a direction
along its length. The maximum board width that
can be ripped is limited by the distance between
the blade and the support column. Maximum cutting width for this bandsaw is 14
1
⁄4".
The important consideration when ripping is blade
selection. Generally, the wider the blade, the better. In most applications, a hook or skip tooth style
will be sufficient. Also, since most ripped lumber
will be planed or sanded smooth, you can choose
blades with fewer teeth-per-inch. While blades
with fewer teeth-per-inch produce rougher cuts,
these types of blades offer larger gullet capacities
for clearing sawdust, produce less heat, and yield
more horsepower per tooth.
To perform ripping operations:
1. The bandsaw must be adjusted correctly.
See “Blade Tension” and “Blade Tracking”
in Section 5.
2. The table must be square to the blade. See
“Table Adjustment” in Section 5.
3. Use the widest blade available. The blade
must also be in good condition.
4. Use a fence to guide work.
5. Draw a reference line on the edge of the
board.
6. Support ends of the board if necessary.
7. Feed work slowly and evenly.

-26- Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw
When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and
turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows
the layout line without being twisted. If a curve is
so abrupt that it is necessary to repeatedly back
up and cut a new kerf, use either a narrower blade
or a blade with more set.
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. Figure 24 lists blade widths and corre-
sponding minimum radii each blade will cut.

Cutting CurvesStacked Cuts
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, it is essential to
ensure that both the table and the blade are properly adjusted to 90°. Otherwise, any error will be
compounded with each piece cut from the top to
the bottom of the stack.
To complete a stacked cut:
1. Align your pieces from top to bottom to
ensure that each piece has adequate scrap
to provide a clean, unhampered cut.
2. Using brads in the waste portion of each
piece, secure all the pieces together.
3. Lay out the shape you intend to cut on the
face of the top piece.
4. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the outline
of your intended shape in areas where
changes in blade direction could pinch the
blade against the wood.
5. Cut the stack as though you were cutting a
single piece. Follow your layout line with the
blade kerf on the waste side of your line.
Model G1019Z 14" Bandsaw -27-
To resaw lumber, follow the procedure below:
1. The blade must be adjusted correctly and
the table must be square to the blade. See
Section 5.
2. Use the widest blade that will fit this saw
(
3
/4"). The blade must also be in good con-
dition.
3. Use the fence or a pivot block to guide the
work. If using a pivot block, clamp the block
to the table next to the fence at the desired
distance from the blade and mark the line of
cut on the workpiece. Follow the mark during cutting while using the pivot block as a
guide.
4. Feed work slowly and evenly.
When using a fence to guide the board, the actual line of cut may not always be parallel to the
fence. In fact, most bandsaw blades will not cut
exactly parallel to the fence. There are usually a
number of reasons for this: teeth are set heavier
on one side than the other, teeth are dull on one
side, or blade tension is too tight or too loose.
If the blade wanders off the line of cut when using
the fence, consider using a pivot block.
IMPORTANT: Do not force the wood into the
blade during cutting. This will distort the blade,
cause excessive heat and often results in blade
breakage as well as miscut lumber.
Resawing
Resawing is the process of cutting a board along
its thickness into two or more thinner boards.
Each new board is the same width and length as
the original board, but the thickness is less. The
maximum board width that can be resawn on this
bandsaw is 6
1
/8".
Although the G1019Z Bandsaw was not specifically designed for resawing, it is capable of
resawing, provided the saw is set up properly.
Use common sense when resawing; attempting to
resaw a board that is too wide or too dense may
put excessive strain on the blade and be unsafe.
Again, the important consideration when resawing
is blade selection. When selecting a blade, keep
in mind that a wider blade is generally easier to
control. The blade should be of high quality in
order to handle the increased stress. In most
applications, a hook or skip tooth style will work
fine. Also, since most resawn lumber will be
planed smooth, you can choose blades with fewer
teeth per inch (3 to 6). These types of blades offer
larger gullet capacities for clearing sawdust. They
also produce less heat build up and yield more
horsepower per tooth.
NOTE: When operating with wide blades, run the
bandsaw at the slowest speed.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Bearings
V-Belt
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, no maintenance is required on them.
If, after a period of time you notice a distinct noise
or rumble coming from a shielded bearing, or the
bearing journal is hot to the touch after use, it will
be time to replace the shielded bearing assembly(s). Please contact our Customer Service number to order replacement bearings or to make
arrangements to send your bandsaw back for service.
Inspect V-belt regularly for tension and wear.
Replace when necessary. Check pulleys to
ensure that they are properly aligned and securely tightened. See “Motor Assembly” in Section 4
for proper tension and pulley alignment procedures.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
G1019Z Bandsaw will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your bandsaw
each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts
2. Worn switch
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs
4. Damaged V-belt
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Always perform any maintenance with the power
off and the machine unplugged.
General
Table
The table can be kept slippery and rust-free with
regular applications of talcum powder. Rub the
powder into the table top with either a felt brick
(i.e.-common chalk board eraser) or a chamois
cloth. There are many after-market spray applications available to protect the table surface and
ease material handling. See a current Grizzly
Industrial catalog for these types of after-market
products.
