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.
6. Always feed stock evenly and smoothly.
Do not force or twist blade while cutting, especially when sawing small radii.
7. This machine is not designed to cut metal
or other material except wood.
8. When replacing blades, make sure teeth
face down towards the table. The force of the cut is always down.
9. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.
10. Do not manually stop or slow blade after
turning the saw off.
1. Do not operate your bandsaw 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. Always support round stock in a V-block.
4. Ensure that the machine sits firmly on the
floor before use. Any “wobbles” must be corrected by shimming or blocking before operation.
5. Make sure blade has been properly ten-
sioned.
Like all power tools, there is danger associ­ated with the Model G1052 9" Bandsaw. Use the tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of mechanical damage or operator injury. If normal safety precau­tions are overlooked or ignored, serious injury may occur.
Operating this equipment has the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

110V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
The Model G1052 has a 1/2 HP motor which oper­ates at 110V. It includes a complete cordset with a grounded plug that’s made for use with a grounded domestic 110V outlet.
The G1052 motor will safely draw about 8 amps at 110V under load. If you operate the bandsaw on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspect­ed by a qualified electrician.
The Model G1052 should be fused at 15 amps. Fusing at amperage ratings higher than 15 amps will not adequately protect the motor. You are cautioned that equipment that is returned to us for service that shows evidence of being over­fused will be repaired or replaced totally at the customer’s expense, regardless of the present warranty status.
Fusing
Figure 1. Recommended outlet/plug configuration.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with the Model G1052, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in the standard safety instructions 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.
Extension Cords
Grounding
This equipment must be grounded, there is a risk of severe electrical shock. Verify that
any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 14 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Consult a qualified electri­cian if you are uncertain of the grounding of your electrical system. Under no circum­stances should the grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric cur­rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord which has an equipment grounding conductor. The outlet must be properly installed and ground­ed in accordance with local codes. Refer to
Figure 1 for the proper outlet and plug configura-
tion.

Unpacking
The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a carefully packed carton. If you find the machine to be damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and the truck and driver are already gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need advice regarding this situa­tion, please call us immediately.
When you are completely satisfied with the con­dition of your shipment, you should inventory its parts.
The G1052 is a heavy machine with a ship­ping weight of 100 lbs. DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine – get assistance. In the event that your bandsaw must be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are capable of supporting the combined weight of people and the machine. Serious person­al injury may occur.
Parts Inventory
NOTICE
Save all containers and packing materials until you are satisfied that your bandsaw has arrived in good condition. Freight com­pany adjusters will want to inspect those materials in the event that a freight claim must be made.
When you are completely satisfied with the con­dition of your shipment, you should inventory its parts.
With all the parts removed from the container, you should have:
• Bandsaw Unit with Blade
• Miter Gauge
• Table
• Fence
If anything is missing, call or write to the service department listed earlier in this section.

G1052 9" Bandsaw
Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with with a sol­vent cleaner or citrus-based 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.
Some die-cut metal parts may have sharp edges (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts before handling them. Failure to do so could result in injury.
Site Considerations
BENCH LOAD
Your G1052 Bandsaw represents a moderately large weight load in a small footprint. Most com­mercial or home shop benches should be suffi­cient to carry the weight of the G1052. If you question the strength of your workbench, you can opt to reinforce it, or consider placing the band­saw on a freestanding bench like Grizzly’s Shop Fox®tool table.
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.
Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to young­sters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.
Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be highly flammable, and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-ventilated 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. Keep chil­dren and animals safely away when clean­ing and assembling this machine.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum­based solvents to remove this protective coating. These products generally 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.

G1052 9" Bandsaw
Blade Adjustments
Blade tension and tracking are two of the most important factors affecting bandsaw perfor­mance. When the blade is properly tensioned and tracked, blade life will be extended, cuts will be straighter, and the bandsaw will run more smoothly. In order to optimize tension and track­ing, the two wheels must be co-planar (or in the same plane).
Follow the steps outlined here in the order pre­sented for best results: (A) adjust tension, (B) check co-planarity, (C) adjust co-planarity (D) check tracking, and (E) adjust tracking.
Figure 4. Checking blade deflection.
Blades are extremely sharp. Use added care when making adjustments that require touching the blade with your fingers. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Tension
With the exception of those procedures which require test running the machine, DO NOT attempt adjustments without ensuring that the machine is turned off and discon­nected from its power source. Serious per­sonal injury may occur.
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
1. The power must be off with the saw
unplugged. Lower the upper guide assembly all the way by loosening the guide post securing knob (#31) and lowering the assembly.
2. Press, with moderate pressure, on the face of the blade with your thumb. Figure 4.
3. The blade should flex no more than
1
/2" with
moderate pressure.
4. If it flexes too little or too much, turn the ten-
sion adjustment knob (#2) to modify the ten­sion until it is correct.
If the tension seems correct, make the other adjustments to the saw and test run it. Re-adjust tension if the blade does not cut correctly.
G1052 9" Bandsaw -11-
1. Adjust the tracking knob (#23) so that upper
wheel is not angled.
2. Set a straightedge against the sides of the
wheels. It should fully extend across both of
them. Figure 5.
3. The straightedge must touch each of the out-
side rims on both wheels. If the straightedge does not touch both wheels evenly, use a small ruler to measure the distance that the lower or upper wheel is offset from the long straightedge.
If the straightedge already touches the wheels evenly, move on to the tracking procedures.
Figure 5. Checking blade co-planarity.
Co-Planarity
2. Add washers behind the upper or lower
wheels as needed.
3. Remove washers behind the UPPER
WHEEL ONLY.
4. Adjust parallelism (i.e., if the middle of the
wheels are co-planar, but the sides are not).
Figure 6.
Figure 6. Wheel alignment possibilities.
5. Loosen the four cap screws (#10) that
secure the two sliding gibs (#9) to the body
behind the upper wheel. Figure 7.
6. Adjust the setscrews (#11) in or out very
slightly (over adjustment will cause the ten­sion rod to bind) to make the upper wheel parallel with the lower wheel.
7. Tighten the four cap screws and check
wheel co-planarity.
8. Repeat 1- 4 for further adjustment if needed.
The distance you measured with the small ruler is the distance that the wheels must be corrected. The following steps allow you to align the wheels. If one step works, immediately proceed to the tracking adjustment instructions.
1. Turn the tracking knob to adjust the angle of
the upper wheel.

Tracking Blade Guides
Rotate the upper wheel several turns by hand. Watch the lateral movement of the blade on the tire. The blade will move back and forth slightly until it finds its equilibrium position. If the blade is tracking correctly, it will stay on both tires in one location, not necessarily in the center of the wheels. If the blade will not stay in one place on the tires, check that the wheels are co-planar. If they are co-planar, adjust the tracking, as fol­lows:
1. Disconnect the bandsaw from the power
source and adjust the upper and lower guide bearings away from the blade. See Blade Guide adjustment section.
2. Decrease the tension slightly before adjust-
ing tracking. Tracking adjustment will auto­matically increase the tension.
3. Loosen the lock knob (#22) on the tracking
control knob. Turn the tracking control knob clockwise or counter-clockwise while turning the upper wheel by hand until the blade
stays in one position. Figure 8.
4. Re-tighten the lock knob and check the
tracking. Repeat step 3 as needed.

The guide post is adjustable so the guide bear­ings will stay aligned with the blade when the guide post is raised or lowered.
To check guide post alignment:
1. Adjust blade tension and tracking as dis-
cussed earlier in this section.
2. Loosen the guide post securing knob (#31)
and slide the guide post all the way up. Lock it in position by tightening the securing knob.
3. Adjust each of the upper guide bearings
equally to within approximately
1
16" of the
blade.
4. Slide the guide post all the way down and
lock it in position. If one of the upper guide bearings is closer or further from the blade than in step 3, adjust the guide post bracket (#27).
To adjust the guide post bracket:
1. Loosen the two bracket bolts securing the
guide post bracket (#27) to the body casting.
Figure 16.
2. Shift the guide post bracket in the desired
direction.
3. Re-tighten the two bolts and check your
results by sliding the guide post up and down and noting whether the bearings change their distances from the blade. It may be necessary to re-adjust the guide bearings. If the guide bearings do not maintain gap tol­erance on each side of the blade as you raise and lower the guide post, repeat steps
1 and 2.
If the guide post bracket will not give enough adjustment, you will need to shift the blade over slightly.
To shift the blade:
1. Loosen tension on the blade.
2. Move the upper wheel left or right as need-
ed. There is about
5
/16" of movement.
3. Re-adjust the tension. This will secure the
wheel.

Although you can perform many types of straight cuts such as angling and mitering on the band­saw, they will not be as precise as on a table saw. Also, since the blade is flexible, the resulting cut is somewhat rougher than one performed on a table saw. However, just as a table saw is suited to precision straight cuts and miters, the bandsaw excels when resawing and when cutting irregular shapes. A properly adjusted and tuned up band­saw is also safer to operate than most other saws and is capable of performing many sawing func­tions with ease and accuracy.
A common fault when using a bandsaw is blam­ing the saw for not performing up to expectations. Many factors contribute to a bandsaw’s perfor­mance. Using the wrong kind of blade or a poor quality blade usually results in unsatisfactory per­formance. Misuse of the saw or using incorrect sawing techniques can be unsafe as well as result in frustration and poor cuts. Remember, the blade does the cutting with the operator’s guid­ance. Replace blades as necessary and make adjustments periodically to keep the saw always running in top condition.
Do not force the material against the blade, use light even pressure. Light contact with the blade will permit easier line following and prevent undue friction, heat and work-hardening along the back edge of the blade.
Avoid twisting the blade by trying to turn sharp corners. Remember, you must saw around cor­ners.
Test Run
Once you have completed the instructions for assembly and adjustments, you are ready to give the Model G1052 its first test run.
1. Re-connect the Model G1052 to its power
source.
2. Keeping one finger on the OFF switch to be
ready for a quick shut off in the case of prob­lems, turn on the bandsaw.
3. If there is no visual or audible evidence of
problems, use a piece of scrap wood to test the blade.
4. If the blade does not cut properly, review the
steps in the adjustment section. If the blade appears to be working well, turn off the machine and continue reading the manual.
NOTICE
Set the top guide assembly just above the top of the work at all times.

G1052 9" Bandsaw
A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that is subjected to tremendous stress. 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 measuring 64" can be purchased welded, set, sharpened, and ready-for-use from most saw shops. In addition to the standard
1
/2" blade, others in widths of 3/16",
1
/4", and
3
/8" are available. See Figure 15 for typ-
ical bandsaw blade characteristics. Please refer to our current catalog for prices and ordering information.
Always select high-quality saw blades and choose the right blade for the job. Poor quality blades and improper use are often the cause of premature blade failure.
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to break. Blade breakage is sometimes unavoidable since it is the natural result of the large stresses that bandsaw blades are subjected to.
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 when mounting or adjusting the blade or sup­port guides. 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 curve or short radius; (3) feeding too fast; (4) tooth dullness or absence of suffi­cient set; (5) excessive 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.
Blade Information
Ripping, or resawing, 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. Maximum cutting height for this bandsaw is 4
1
/8".
The G1052 bandsaw is capable of ripping, pro­vided the saw is set up properly. Use common sense when ripping. Attempting to rip too wide or too dense a board may put excessive strain on the blade and be dangerous.
The important consideration when ripping is blade selection. Generally, the wider 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, less heat buildup, and yield more horsepower per tooth.
Ripping
1. The bandsaw must be adjusted correctly.
See Blade Adjustment Section.
2. The table must be square to the blade. See
Table Adjustment Section.
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.
G1052 9" Bandsaw -19-
Cutting Curves
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. A blade with more set can cut relatively tighter radii, though the cut is usually rougher than cuts produced by a blade with medium 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.
Stacked 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 strain the woodgrain or cause the blade kerf to bind.
5. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were
cutting a single piece. Follow you layout line with the blade kerf on the waste side of your line.

Crosscutting
In addition to its ability to rip lumber, the bandsaw is capable of crosscutting lumber as thick as 4
1
/8". Use the miter gauge when making straight cross­cuts to push your workpiece through the blade.
When making angled crosscuts, adjust the miter gauge to the angle you desire and use it to guide your workpiece along the blade.
If your workpiece is cylindrical, you will need a V­groove jig to support the material you wish to cut.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bear­ings are standard sizes and replacements can be purchased from our parts department or your local bearing supply store.
As for other items on this machine, such as adjustment controls, an occasional “shot” of light oil is just about all that is necessary. Before applying, however, wipe off any sawdust with a clean cloth or towel and spray on the lubricant.
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. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G1052 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every use ensures that moisture from wood dust isn’t allowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur­faces.
Most experienced woodworkers recommend using automotive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron surfaces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as well as reducing friction between lumber and the table, making cuts faster and smoother.
Avoid waxes that contain silicone or other syn­thetic ingredients. These materials can find their way into lumber that’s being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.
DO NOT make adjustments or attempt main­tenance procedures while the Model G1052 is running. Ensure that the switch is off, power is disconnected and moving parts have stopped before making adjustments. Failure to comply may result in serious per­sonal injury.
