Additional Safety Instructions for Resaws
1. EXpERIENcING DIffIcuLTIES. if at
any time you are experiencing difficulties
performing the intended operation, stop
using the machine! Contact our service
department at (570) 546-9663.
8. BLADETENSION. Makesurebladeis prop-
erly tensioned before operating machine.
9. BLADE SpEED. Blade should be running
at full speed before beginning a cut.
2. ENTANGLEMENT. Keep loose clothing
and long hair away from moving conveyors!
roll up or button sleeves at the cuff.
10. cONvEyOR SpEED. always feed stock
evenly and smoothly. do not change
conveyor speeds during a cut.
3. HAND pLAcEMENT. do not allow fingers
to be pinched between board and con-
veyor belt during operation. this may pull
the operator’s hand into the machine and
cause serious injury or death!
11. MATERIAL SpEcIfIcATIONS. this
machine is not designed to cut metal or
any other material besides wood.
12. WORKpIEcE SuppORT. Cuts should
always be fully supported against the guide
rollers and by the pressure rollers.
4. GuARDS. do not operate this bandsaw
without wheel guards, pulley guards, and
blade guards in place.
13. WORKpIEcE DIREcTION. do not back
workpiece away from the blade while the
saw is running. if you need to back the
work out, stop the bandsaw and wait for the
blade to stop. do not twist or put exces-
sive stress on blade while backing work
away.
5. pOWER DIScONNEcT. do all inspec-
tions, adjustments, and maintenance with
the power OFF and the circuit breaker shut
off. wait for all moving parts to come to a
complete stop.
6. DuLL BLADES. do not operate with dull
or badly worn blades. dull blades place
more demand on the motor and are less
likely to cut precisely. inspect blades before
each use.
14. STOppING THE BLADE. do not manually
stop or slow blade after turning the saw
OFF.
15. uNATTENDED MAcHINE. allow the resaw
to come to a complete stop before leaving it
unattended.
7. BLADE REpLAcEMENT. Make sure the
teeth face toward the front of the saw when
replacing blades.
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 per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machines there is danger associ-
ated with the Model G0503. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.

Additional Safety Instructions for Hydraulics
1. HyDRAuLIc INJEcTION HAZARDS. Be
familiar with the hazards of hydraulic injec-
tion injuries.
4. cHEcKING fOR LEAKS. use a piece of
cardboard to check for suspected hydrau-
lic leaks. pressurized hydraulic fluid may
cause injection injuries and can be extreme-
ly hot. never use your hands to check for
suspected hydraulic leaks.
• leaking hydraulic fluid may have
enough pressure to penetrate skin.
never use your hands to check for
suspected hydraulic leaks.
5. DEpRESSuRIZE fOR MAINTENANcE.
depressurize the hydraulic system before
attempting any maintenance or service.
stop the resaw, open the conveyor speed
valves, and make sure the pressure gauge
reads 0 psi.
• hydraulic fluid that is injected into
skin is a medical emergency that may
cause infection, disability, amputation
or death.
• the average injection injury may be
a small wound that has barely bro-
ken the skin. do not be fooled by
this type of injury. immediately get
to an emergency medical facility!
6. INSpEcTIONS. regularly inspect and per-
form maintenance on the hydraulic system.
a well-maintained hydraulic system will
have much fewer problems and hazards
than a neglected system.
• Minimizing the time between the
injury and when the injected mate-
rial is removed is critical to minimiz-
ing the seriousness of the injury.
7. cLEAN MAINTENANcE AREA. Make
sure any hydraulic system maintenance
is performed in a clean and dust-free work
area. remove any sawdust, grime or water
from hydraulic system openings or com-
ponents before maintenance. always use
lint-free rags when wiping components.
2. EyE pROTEcTION. safety glasses may
not always protect your eyes from hot,
pressurized fluid. the best way to protect
yourself is to stay away from leaks until you
can depressurize the system.
8. cOMpONENT REpLAcEMENT. only use
high pressure hydraulic hose and steel
hydraulic fittings when replacing compo-
nents in the hydraulic system. do not use
brass or aluminum.
3. HyDRAuLIc LEAKS. stop the machine
if you notice a hydraulic leak. allowing the
machine to continue running with a leak
may increase the hazard of the situation
and damage the machine.

connection Type
Grounding
Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we recommend that you hardwire it
directly to your circuit breaker and install a locking
shut-off lever (see figure 4) near the machine
as a way to quickly disconnect the power and
prevent accidental starting. we do not recom-
mend using an extension cord with this machine.
in the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. this machine must be equipped with an
electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor. this conductor must be grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor increases the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if you do not understand
the grounding instructions, or if you doubt the
machine is properly grounded.
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly
or if your electrical con-
figuration does not com-
ply with local and state
codes. Ensure compliance
by checking with a quali-
fied electrician!
figure 4. a power disconnect is preferable to
high current plugs and receptacles.
your Shop circuit capacity
always check to see if the wires in your circuit
are capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. if you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
Extension cords
phase converter
Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we do not recommend the use of exten-
sion cords. instead, position your equipment near
installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-
sion cords.
when using a phase converter, the power from
the manufactured power leg (sometimes called
the wild wire) can fluxuate. Connect the manu-
factured power leg to the s terminal to prevent
damage to the transformer. the wire from the s
terminal can handle some fluxuation because it
goes directly to the motor. the power going to the
r and t terminals goes to the transformer and
must be consistent to prevent damage.

Items Needed
clean up
for Set up
the wheels and the blade guides of the Model
g0503 are coated with a light coat of grease to
protect them from corrosion during shipment.
remove the blade guard for complete access
to the blade guides and clean off the protective
coating with a solvent or citrus-based degreaser
such as grizzly’s g7895 degreaser shown on
page 32. avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake cleaners, as they may damage
painted surfaces. always follow the manufactur-
er’s instructions when using any type of cleaning
product.

SEcTION 4: OpERATIONS
Operation Safety
Stock preparation
always make sure that any stock you plan on cut-
ting is clean and free of nails, staples, or embed-
ded stones.
Eyes, lung, and ear damage could result
from using this machine without proper
protective gear. Always wear safety glasses,
a respirator, and hearing protection when
operating this machine.
Keep in mind that precision cuts require a more
extended preparation process than rough cuts.
To prepare the workpiece for a precision cut:
1. Surface plane the workpiece on a joint-
er—the concave face of the workpiece
should be planed flat on a jointer.
2. Surface plane the workpiece on a thick-
ness planer—the opposite face of the
workpiece should be planed flat with a thick-
ness planer.
Loose hair and cloth-
ing could get caught in
machinery and cause seri-
ous personal injury. Keep
loose clothing and long
hair away from moving
machinery.
3. Edge joint the workpiece on a jointer—
the concave edge (viewed from end-to-end)
of the workpiece should be edge jointed flat
on a jointer. this flat edge will glide along the
fence rollers during the resaw operation.
NOTICE
If you have never used this type of machine
or equipment before, WE STRONGLy REc-
OMMEND that you read books, trade maga-
zines, or get formal training before using

steel, subject to tremendous strain. increase the
life and performance of your blade by using the
correct feed rate and tension.
the Model g0503 is a specialized machine that
requires specialized blades. grizzly industrial
has selected a series of blades for optimum per-
formance on this machine. the only variables
when selecting a blade are the type of cutting
tooth and the number of teeth-per-inch (tooth
pitch).
a clean blade will perform much better than a
dirty blade. a dirty blade passes through the cut-
ting material with much more resistance than a
clean blade. this extra resistance will also cause
unnecessary heat. Maintain your blades with a
cleaner like oxisolv® and a cutting blade lubri-
cant like Boeshield® t-9 shown on page 32.
Blade Tooth Type
Carbon Steel—the less expensive carbon steel
blades are adequate for most cutting applica-
tions; however, they dull quickly and for economi-
cal reasons they are usually replaced rather than
resharpened.
a cool blade will last longer than a blade that is
overheated. the best way to keep the blade cool
is with a coolant dispenser like the grizzly model
h4959 shown on page 33.
Carbide Tipped—the more expensive carbide-
tipped blades are designed for continuous use
in production shop situations. they hold an
edge longer than carbon steel and they can be
resharpened many times before needing to be
replaced.
Blade Breakage
Blade breakage is unavoidable in some cases,
since it is the natural result of the peculiar stress-
es placed on the blade. Blade breakage may
also be due to avoidable circumstances, which
is most often the result of poor care or judge-
ment on the part of the operator when mounting
the blade, tensioning, or adjusting the support
guides.
Tooth pitch
tooth pitch refers to the number of teeth-per-
inch. the more teeth-per-inch, the smoother the
resulting cut, but the feed rate must be relatively
slow. the less teeth-per-inch, the rougher the
resulting cut, but the feed rate can be set faster.
some trial and error may be necessary to find
the right combination of cut quality, tooth pitch
and feed rate.
The most common causes of blade breakage
are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
incorrect blade tension.
Feeding the workpiece too fast.
dull teeth or insufficient set.
not releasing blade tension after use.
Faulty adjustment of the blade guides.
using a blade with an improperly finished
braze or weld.
Blade Length
the required blade length for the Model g0503
is 168".
•
running the bandsaw excessively when not
resawing.
Blade Width
the required blade width for the Model g0503
is 1".

from the machine that did not make it into the
dust collector.
v-Belts
Resaw Wheels and Scrapers
to ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the blade and to the hydraulic pump,
the V-belts must be in good condition (free from
cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under
proper tension. Check the V-belts at least every
three months; more often if the bandsaw is used
daily.
use a dry rag to wipe sawdust from the wheel
scrapers. remove sawdust build up on the
wheels by rotating the wheels by hand while hold-
ing the dry rag on the contact surface.
conveyor Belt
use compressed air to clean the built-up sawdust
from the conveyor belt. Eye injuries frequently
occur when cleaning with compressed air—wear
safety glasses to protect yourself! Also wear a
dust mask or respirator to protect your lungs from
airborne dust particles.
see Adjusting V-Belt Tension on page 48 for
instructions on properly tensioning the belts or for
replacing the belts, if needed.
painted Surfaces
these areas may be cleaned with a dry or damp
rag; however, make sure you do not clean
bare metal surfaces with a damp rag or they may
rust.
Bearings
Except for the bearings that are fitted with grease
fittings, the bearings are sealed and pre-lubri-
cated and require no lubrication during their
usable life. all bearings are standard sizes, and
replacements can be purchased from our parts

Schedule
Hydraulic System
Minor Service
in order for the hydraulic system to operate the
conveyor properly and at the correct tempera-
ture, the hydraulic fluid level in the tank should
be ⁄3 full between the fill lines on the fluid sight
window, which is located on the front of the tank
(see figure 48).
the hydraulic system minor service consists of
changing the filter, cleaning the breather cap and
filler screen, and inspecting the hydraulic fluid for
signs of thermal breakdown, dust contamination,
and water contamination.
2
perform a “Minor Service” every 960 hours,
or when the filter pressure gauge (see figure
48) nears the red.
check the hydraulic fluid level daily.
to add hydraulic fluid, wipe the dust and dirt from
the breather cap shown in figure 48 and remove
the cap. Fill the tank to the full line with an iso
Vg 46 hydraulic fluid. if this machine is used in
extreme cold conditions use iso Vg 32 hydraulic
fluid; use iso Vg 68 hydraulic fluid for extreme
hot environments.
The hydraulic system on this machine cre-
ates very high pressure and the hydraulic
fluid gets hot. Always stop the resaw, make
sure the pressure gauge reads 0 pSI, and
make sure the fluid cools down before ser-
vicing the hydraulic system.

To inspect the hydraulic fluid:
Cap
1. look at the color of the hydraulic fluid in the
sight window.
—if the fluid is milky in appearance, then the
hydraulic fluid is contaminated with water.
—if the fluid is dark brown or opaque, then
the hydraulic fluid is severely contaminated
or thermal breakdown has occurred.

window
2. smell the hydraulic fluid (remove breather
cap).
figure 48. hydraulic reservoir components.
—if the fluid smells rancid or burnt, then the
hydraulic fluid has overheated and ther-
mal breakdown has most likely occurred.
Correct the component that is causing
thermal breakdown (see Troubleshooting
on page 68).
Inspect and clean the breather cap and filler
screen every 40 hours of regular use.
Visually inspect both the breather cap and the
plastic screen that sits in the tank opening. if
there is visual contamination, clean both items
with solvent and compressed air. allow them to
completely dry before installing back in the tank.
do not pour hydraulic fluid from the center of
the screen back into the tank.
3. determine what service is needed.
—if the fluid is transparent and does not smell
burnt or rancid, perform a minor service.
—if the fluid is opaque, smells rancid or burnt,
fix the source of contamination or the com-
ponent causing thermal breakdown, then
perform a major service.

Adjusting Main
conveyor Table
the conveyor table can be adjusted left-to-right
and front-to-back to make the table parallel to
the blade in both directions. this is an involved
procedure that requires you to cut up a piece of
test stock and make many repeat adjustments.
Because of the complexity of this procedure, we
will first give instructions on checking the table,
so that you can be sure you need to perform the
adjustment.
figure 59. test board with measurements.
Before attempting these procedures, you need to
have a perfectly squared piece of stock that is as
wide as possible and is at least two feet long. the
wider the stock, the more accurate your proce-
dure will be (we recommend using the maximum
width that the resaw will allow). also, you need to
make sure that your blade is in good condition,
tracked, and tensioned properly, and the blade
guides are properly adjusted.
3. study the written test measurements.
—if the measurements are more than 0.030"
different from one side to the other, adjust
the conveyor table.
To adjust the conveyor table left to right:
1. Disconnect the resaw from the power
source!
Tools Needed
Qty
2. use your test board to determine which
direction the conveyor table needs to be
moved. For example, if the right side of the
board was thicker than the left side—you
will need to move either the right side of the
conveyor up or move the left side of the con-
veyor down.

2. use a caliper to measure the thickness
of the cut piece in even locations along
the edges of the stock. as you take these
measurements, write them directly on the
stock, near the location where you took the
measurement (see figure 59). note—DO
NOT measure the first and last six inches of
the board, because the board will only have
been under one pressure roller during that
part of the cut.

v-Belt Tensioning
Replacing v-Belts
replace all three V-belts at the same time to
ensure uniform belt tension.
adjusting the V-belts is not an exact science.
adjusting the belts too loose will decrease the
performance of the machine, but adjusting the
belts too tight may cause premature wear of the
components attached to the belts.
To replace the belts that connect the motor to
the wheel pulley:
1. Disconnect the resaw from the power
source!
To adjust the v-belt tension:
1. Disconnect the resaw from power!
2. press the center of each V-belt firmly. the
2. adjust the motor mount nuts in all the way to
loosen the V-belts.
