Safety Instructions For Power Tools
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-
dance 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 exten-
sion cords if they become damaged.
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-
AL STARTING. On machines with mag-
netic contact starting switches there is a
risk of starting if the machine is bumped or
jarred. Always disconnect from power
source before adjusting or servicing. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before recon-
necting.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
21-30
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 cov-
ering 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.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It is safer than using your
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running
a machine.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubri-
cating and changing accessories.
21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-
ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any
instructions you give in regards to the
operation of the machine are approved,
correct, safe, and clearly understood.

Additional Safety Instructions For Bandsaws
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.
7. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND
SMOOTHLY. Do not force or twist blade
while cutting, especially when sawing
small radii.
2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR
THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.
Serious personal injury could occur.
8. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO
CUT METAL or other material except
wood.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW
WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND
BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.
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.
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.
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.
5. CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY
SUPPORTED by the table or some type of
support fixture. Always support round stock
in a V-block.
12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE HARD
TO BREAK. Develop good habits in your
shop and safety will become second-
nature to you.
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.
13. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-
ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING
THE BANDSAW! Then contact our service
department or ask a qualified expert how
the operation should be performed.
Like all power tools, there is danger associ-
ated with bandsaws. Accidents are frequent-
ly 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 over-
looked or ignored, serious personal injury
may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. 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 equip-
ment or poor work results.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
220V Operation
If 110 volt operation is desired, refer to the wiring
diagram in the back of this manual. Under normal
use, the motor draws approximately 24 amps at
110V. We recommend using a circuit breaker and
wires rated for 30 amps. This should be satisfac-
tory for normal use, while providing enough pro-
tection against damage caused by power surges.
If frequent circuit failures occur when using the
bandsaw, contact our service department or your
local electrical contractor.
The Model G1073/G1073Z Bandsaw is supplied
with a dual-voltage 110V/220V motor, prewired
for 220V operation. Under normal use, the motor
draws approximately 12 amps at 220V. We rec-
ommend a 15 amp circuit breaker or slow-blow
fuse for 220V. This should be satisfactory for nor-
mal use, while providing enough protection
against damage caused by an overloaded circuit.
If frequent circuit failures occur when using the
bandsaw, contact our service department or your
local electrical contractor.
The Model G1073/G1073Z is not supplied with a
power plug. It will be necessary to supply your
own standard 110V, 30 Amp grounded plug and
receptacle as shown in Figure 2.
The Model G1073/G1073Z Bandsaw is not sup-
plied with a power plug. We recommend using a
NEMA-style L6-15 plug and outlet similar to the
one shown in Figure 1. You may also “hard-wire”
the bandsaw directly to your panel, provided you
place a disconnect near the machine.
Extension Cords
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 exten-
sion cords. Should it be necessary to use an
extension, 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.
Figure 1. Typical 220V 3-prong plug and outlet.
Be sure that your particular electrical config-
uration complies with local and state codes.
The best way to ensure compliance is to
check with your local municipality or
licensed electrician.

Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounding
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
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. A
plug with a grounding pin must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if you are in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-
prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole recepta-
cles that accept the tool’s plug, similar to that in
Figure 2.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords imme-
diately.
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.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually
grounded. Under no cir-
cumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
Figure 2.
We have covered some basic electrical
requirements for the safe operation of your
bandsaw. These requirements are not nec-
essarily 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.

Clean up
Site Considerations
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent 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.
1. Floor Load: Your Model G1073/G1073Z 16''
Bandsaw represents a large weight load in a
small footprint. Most commercial floors are
suitable for the Model G1073/G1073Z. Some
residential floors may require additional build
up to support both machine and operator.
2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a loca-
tion for your bandsaw.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have a low flash
point which makes them
extremely flammable. A
risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used.
Serious personal injury
may occur.
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-
age requirements. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe
local electrical codes for proper installation
of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Do not smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explo-
sion or fire exists and may
result in serious personal
injury.
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.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Always work in well-
ventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources
when dealing with sol-
vents. Use care when dis-
posing of waste rags and
towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environ-
mental hazards.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
To assemble the stand:
1. Flip the top of the stand upside-down.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Position the motor mounting bracket so that
it sits over the four (4) evenly spaced holes
in the top. Bolt the bracket to the stand with
3

two (2) ⁄8"-16 x 1" hex bolts, ⁄8" washers,
3
and ⁄8"-16 nuts provided. Hand tighten for
now so your assembly looks like Figure 3.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance or
assembly. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire assembly
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Figure 3. Attaching motor mount bracket.
Stand (G1073)
2. Position the motor so the pulley is over the
rectangular hole in the stand top as shown in
5
Figure 4. Secure with four (4) ⁄16"-18 x 1"
carriage bolts, 5⁄16" washers, and 5⁄16"-18 nuts
provided.
The stand assembly on the Model G1073 is
shown here. If you have the Model G1073Z, fol-
low the same instructions for mounting the motor,
bandsaw to stand, and the anti-vibration pads.
Disregard the steps that do not apply.
To ease assembly, build the stand upside down
on a bench, then place it upright on the floor. Do
not fully tighten any of the bolts until directed to
do so in the next section.
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.

Use the ⁄16"-18 x ⁄8" carriage bolts, ⁄16"-18
5
nuts, and ⁄16" washers provided. The two
shorter braces are slightly wider than the
longer braces. When attaching the braces to
the legs, the longer braces rest inside the
two flanges of the shorter braces. The
square holes in the legs are angled to
accommodate the angle of the legs.
The bandsaw (without stand
and motor) weighs approxi-
mately 325 lbs. Use a lifting
device or get help from peo-
ple who can safely lift that
much weight. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur if
this warning is ignored.
Rubber Feet
1. Safely lift the bandsaw onto the stand.
Ensure that the bandsaw step pulley is posi-
tioned over the hole in the stand.
2. Attach the bandsaw to the stand with four (4)
3
⁄
8"-16 x 2" hex bolts, four (4) 3⁄8"-16 hex nuts,
and eight (8) 3⁄8" washers provided. The bolts
on the left side should go through the motor
mount bracket. Hand tighten for now.
Motor Pulley
3. Position the bandsaw on the stand so that
the legs are evenly balanced and the stand
is symmetrical in appearance, rather than
lopsided. When the stand is positioned cor-
rectly on all four sides, tighten all the stand
nuts to secure it in place.
Figure 5. Legs and braces attached to top.
4. Attach the four (4) rubber feet to the legs.
Use four (4) 5⁄16"-18 x 1" hex head bolts, four
(4) 5⁄16" flat washers and four (4) 5⁄16"-18 nuts
provided. The bolts should go through the
pad first and then through the feet. Tighten
carefully so you do not deform the rubber
feet.
4. Working from the bottom up, tighten all stand
bolts, motor mount bracket to the stand top
(leave the motor bolts loose for now), and
the bandsaw mounting bolts at the holes
shown in Figure 6.
5. Slide the motor pulley onto the motor shaft
and tighten the setscrew down. The small
end of the pulley should be near the motor.
6. Flip the stand/motor assembly rightside-up
on the floor, but do not tighten the stand
hardware at this time.

Pulley alignment and belt tension should now
be adjusted simultaneously.
1. Situate the motor so the V-grooves on the
motor pulley approximately line up with the
V-grooves on the three-step pulley. You may
need to loosen the motor mount bracket
bolts shown in Figure 9A to position the
motor properly. Tighten the mount bracket to
the stand before moving on to the next step.
Leave the motor mount bolts loose.

3. Check the pulley alignment with a plumb bob
or straightedge. If you are using a plumb
bob, the string must touch the outside
flanges of each pulley evenly as shown in
Figure 10, and the machine must be level.
4. Check V-belt tension. Repeat steps 1-4 until
both tension and pulley alignment are cor-
rect.

may be incorrect. Readjust the tension. New
blades often stretch with use. However, it helps to
always remove the tension from the blade when
not in use.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance or
assembly. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
Blade Tracking
There are two ways to track a bandsaw blade:
Center Tracking and Coplanar Tracking.
Center Tracking is the fastest and easiest, but not
the most precise.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire adjust-
ments process. Failure
to comply may result in
serious personal injury.
Center Tracking:
1. Disconnect the bandsaw from the power
source and adjust the upper and lower guide
assemblies away from the blade. Refer to
Page 18 for adjustment details.
NOTICE
2. Loosen the lock collar on the tracking control
knob shown in Figure 17. Turn the tracking
control knob clockwise/counterclockwise
while turning the upper wheel by hand until
the blade stays centered on the rubber tire.
Read through the entire manual before
starting the table saw.
Blade Tension
Tension Knob
To adjust the tension:
1. Loosen the upper and lower guide blocks
and lower the upper guide block down to the
table. With moderate tension already on the
blade, turn the bandsaw ON.
Lock Collar

2. Release the tension one quarter of a turn at
a time. Do this very slowly. When you see
the bandsaw blade start to flutter, stop
decreasing the tension.
3. Now, slowly increase the tension until the
blade stops fluttering. Tighten the tension
one quarter of a turn.

tions.
Blade Guides
3. Remove the support bearing shaft from the
guide block assembly. Rotate the the shaft
so the blade will ride off-center against the
support bearing as shown in Figure 18B.
Install the shaft, tighten the mounting
setscrew and replace the adjustment cap.
You must check the upper and lower support
bearings and guide blocks each time before start-
ing your bandsaw.
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, readjust the upper
and lower support bearings and guide block
assemblies into position. See Figure 18A control
locations.
4. Turn the adjustment cap so that the upper
and lower support bearings are approxi-
mately .016" (thickness of a dollar bill x 4)
behind the blade. Tighten the thumbscrews.
5. To adjust the lower support bearing, remove
the lower guide block assembly by taking out
the two setscrews that mount it to the band-
saw body. Make the same adjustments
described in steps 2-4 and mount the guide
block assembly back to the bandsaw body.

2. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and
place a 6" machinist’s square on the table
against the blade as shown in Figure 20.
Notice how far out of square your table is
and approximate this distance by adjusting
the positive stop up or down. Turning the
positive stop counterclockwise will raise it
and turning clockwise will lower it. Adjust the
positive stop so the table will stop at a 90°
angle (square) to the blade.
3. Loosen the guide block thumbscrews and
adjust the gap between the blocks and the
blade to .004" (about the same thickness as
a dollar bill). See Figure 19.
4. Tighten the thumbscrews.
3. Lock the positive stop by tightening the
checknut. Do not let the stop turn while tight-
ening the checknut. Tighten the star knobs.
Set the angle pointer to zero on the gauge.

To shift the blade:
Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the dis-
tance from the fence to the blade. To adjust the
front clamping pressure:
1. Loosen the tension on the blade.
2. Remove the spacers (See Figure 25B)
behind the upper wheel in the desired direc-
tion. Move the upper wheel left or right as
needed, and replace the spacers on the
opposite side from where they were
removed.
1. Lift the lever to the “loose” position.
2. Loosen the checknut below the clamp shoe
shown in Figure 26.
3. Readjust the tension. This will secure the
wheel.
4. Repeat guide post bracket adjustments.

5. Repeat steps 3-4 until the fence clamps cor-
rectly. Tighten the checknut. Be careful not
to turn the clamp shoe hex bolt or the clamp-
ing pressure will be altered.
Fence Adjustment
To adjust the rear clamping pressure:
1. Back out the rear clamp adjusting screw sev-
eral turns and put the locking lever in the
locked position as shown in Figure 27.
Fence locking is controlled by the lever on the
front of the fence. When the lever is pushed
down, it locks the front and rear of the fence to
the guide rails. The end of the fence nearest to
the operator should lock before the rear.
2. Turn the rear clamp adjusting screw until the
rear clamp just touches the top of the rear
guide rail.
3. Continue to turn the rear clamp adjusting
screw another 3/4 turn.
4. Test the clamping pressure by loosening and
tightening the locking lever.

Blade Lead
Most bandsaw blades will not appear to cut
straight when using the fence or miter gauge.
This is called “lead.” (See Figure 28.) Lead
occurs (1) if the blade tension is incorrect, (2) if
the teeth are dull on one side, or (3) if the teeth
are set heavier on one side of the blade than the
other.
If you notice that your blade is not cutting
straight (i.e. leading) while using the fence or
miter gauge:
Figure 28. Blade leading away from line of cut.
1. Check that the miter slot is parallel to the
blade line.
2. Check that you have proper blade tension. If
the blade tension is correct and it is not con-
venient to replace the blade, compensate for
lead by skewing the fence or adjusting the
table.
-24-

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
To compensate for lead if making straight
crosscuts using the miter gauge, you will
need to shift the table. To do this:
1. On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is
perpendicular to the front edge. Starting
where the line begins, cut the board by push-
ing it through the blade with the miter gauge.
2. Loosen the table mounting bolts according to
the instructions about “Table Parallelism” on
page 20. Shift the table to compensate for
the blade lead.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the blade cuts
straight when wood is pushed through with
the miter gauge.
Figure 29. Holding a straightedge across both wheels.
2. A perfectly coplanar set of wheels will allow
the straightedge to touch the top and bottom
of the outside rims on each wheel. If this is
the case with your wheels, then they are
coplanar.
NOTICE
If the table is shifted, the fence will be affect-
ed since it is attached.
3. If your wheels are not coplanar, check them
for adjustment by placing the straightedge
on the upper wheel first – ensuring that it
touches both the top and bottom rim – and
adjust the tracking knob to see how the
straightedge lines up with the lower wheel.
NOTICE
Lead adjustments will change when new
blades are mounted in the saw.
If the straightedge only touches the top rim of
the lower wheel, then the upper wheel needs
to be shimmed.
Wheel Alignment
If the straightedge only touches the bottom
rim of the lower wheel, then the lower wheel
needs to be shimmed.
Wheel alignment is one of the easiest ways to
ensure you get optimal performance from your
bandsaw. When wheels are aligned, or coplanar,
the bandsaw is more likely to cut straight without
wandering; and vibration, heat, and blade wear
are considerably decreased because the blade is
automatically balanced on the wheel. This is
known as “Coplanar Tracking.”
Shimming a wheel.
1. Adjust the tracking knob so the top wheel is
parallel with the bottom wheel. With the
straightedge touching both points of the
wheel that does not need to be adjusted,
measure the distance away from the incor-
rect wheel with a fine ruler. See Figure 30.
The distance you measured with the ruler is
the distance the wheel must be corrected.
To verify if the the upper and lower wheels are
coplanar:
1. With the blade on and properly tensioned,
hold a straightedge close to the center of
both wheels. Make sure it fully extends
across them as in Figure 29.
G1073/G1073Z 16'' Bandsaw

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
2. Remove the blade from the saw, then the
securing nut and washers from the wheel
that needs to be shimmed. Now remove the
wheel. Use the washers that were behind
the securing nut for shims. Measure how
many you will need to equal the space of
your gap and place them on the mounting
shaft.
Figure 31. Coplanar diagram.
1. Loosen the four cap screws securing the two
sliding gibs to the body behind the upper
wheel, as shown in Figure 32.
Figure 30. Measuring wheel difference.
Sliding Gib
Cap Screw
3. Replace wheel, any remaining washers and
the securing nut. It is important to tighten the
blade as it will be used during operation
before you check the wheels for being
coplanar. In other words, it is possible that
the wheels may be coplanar with the blade
loose, then be pulled out of alignment when
it is tightened.
Setscrew
4. The first time you get the wheels coplanar it
is a good idea to place a mark on each
wheel where you held the straightedge. This
assures repeated accuracy every time you
adjust your wheels.
Figure 32. Horizontal controls for upper wheel.
2. Adjust the setscrews in or out very slightly
(over-adjustment will cause the tension rod
to bind). Use your straightedge from the pre-
vious section to make the upper wheel paral-
lel with the lower wheel.
NOTICE
When wheels are properly coplanar, the blade
may not be centered on the crown of the wheel,
but it will be balanced.
3. Tighten the four cap screws and check wheel
alignment.
Adjusting Parallelism
To adjust a parallelism problem (i.e., if the middle
of the wheels are coplanar, but the sides are not,
Figure 31.) follow these steps.

way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that
is subjected to tremendous strain. Take care of
your blades and they will last a long time. Be sure
you use quality blades of the proper width for the
various types of cutting operations.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance or
assembly. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
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. Grizzly supplies bandsaw blades in
various widths for this saw. Please refer to our
current catalog for prices and ordering informa-
tion.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire operation
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to
break. Blade breakage is, in some cases,
unavoidable because 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 opera-
tor when mounting or adjusting the blade or sup-
port guides.The most common causes of blade
breakage are:
Test Run
Once the assembly is complete and the adjust-
ments are done to your satisfaction, you are
ready to test the machine.
•
Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a
curve of short radius.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Pull
the paddle switch up to start the bandsaw. Make
sure that your hand is poised over the switch in
case there is a problem. The bandsaw should run
smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing nois-
es. Strange or unnatural noises should be inves-
tigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.

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 maxi-
mum cutting height of the bandsaw. Maximum
cutting height for this bandsaw is 73⁄4''.
Use common sense when resawing. Attempting
to resaw too wide or too dense of a board may
put excessive strain on the blade and be danger-
ous.
Cutting Curves
Blade selection is an important consideration
when resawing. Generally, the wider the blade,
the better. In most applications, a hook or skip
tooth style will be sufficient. Also, since most
resawn lumber will be planed smooth, you can
choose blades with fewer teeth per inch (from 3
to 6). While blades with fewer teeth per inch pro-
duce rougher cuts, these types of blades offer
larger gullet capacities for clearing sawdust, less
heat buildup, and yield more horsepower per
tooth.
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 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.
To resaw lumber:
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.
The table below lists blade widths and corre-
sponding minimum radii each blade will cut:
4. Use a fence to guide work.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Table
Always
disconnect
power to the machine
when making adjust-
ments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
Model G1073/G1073Z should be protected
against rust and pitting. Wiping the saw clean
after every use ensures that wood dust is not
allowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur-
faces.
V-Belts
The table can be kept rust-free with regular appli-
cations of products like SLIPIT® or Boeshield® T-
9. For long term storage you may want to consid-
er products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™. See
the current Grizzly catalog for more on these
products.
To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good
condition and operate under proper tension. The
belts should be checked for cracks, fraying and
wear. Belt tension should be checked at least
every 3 months; more often if the bandsaw is
used daily.
The V-belt is accessed via the bottom cover:
1. Squeeze the center of the V-belt.
Lubrication
2. Note the amount of deflection. Deflection
Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require
no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bear-
ings are standard sizes, and replacements can
be purchased from our parts department or bear-
ing supply store.
3
should be approximately ⁄4". See “V-Belt
Adjustment” instructions.
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, towel or dry paint brush, and spray on
the lubricant. Ensure that oil does not get on the
pulleys or V-belt because it could cause belt dete-
rioration and slipping.
Miscellaneous
Always be aware of the condition of your band-
saw. Routinely check the condition of the follow-
ing items and repair or replace as necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts
• Worn switch
• Worn or damaged blade
• Worn or damaged support bearings or guide
bearings
