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 func-  
tion. Check for alignment of moving parts,  
binding 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.  
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  
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.  
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a com-  
plete stop.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to  
hold work when practical. It’s safer than  
using your hand and frees both hands to  
operate tool.

Additional Safety Instructions For The  
Metal-Cutting Bandsaw  
1. Do not operate your bandsaw with dull  
or badly worn blades. Dull blades require  
more effort to use and are difficult to con-  
trol. Inspect blades before each use.  
6. Never position fingers or thumbs in line  
with the cut. Serious injury could occur.  
7. Periodically check the horizontal stop  
screw and the automatic shutoff limit  
switch to make sure they are properly  
adjusted.  
2. Make sure the blade has been properly  
tensioned and is tracking on the center of  
the wheels  
8. Exercise great caution when replacing  
blades. Wear protective gloves and safety  
glasses when handling the blade  
3. Always support stock in the vise and make  
certain it is firmly secured. Never attempt  
to hold material by hand while sawing.  
9. Support long or heavy workpieces which  
extend from the machine bed with a roller  
stand or other support device.  
4. Keep belt guard and bandsaw wheel cov-  
ers in place when operating the machine.  
5. Never force the saw through the cut. Allow  
the feed cylinder to control the rate of cut-  
ting. If the saw blade binds or stalls turn  
the power of immediately.  
10. Habits – good and bad – are hard to  
break. Develop good habits in your shop  
and safety will become second-nature to  
you.  
Operating this equipment has the poten-  
tial to propel debris into the air which can  
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-  
es 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).  
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-  
ciated with the Model G1011 Bandsaw.  
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.  
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 seri-  
ous personal injury, damage to equipment  
or poor work results.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS  
Grounding  
110V Operation  
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  
having an equipment-grounding conductor. See  
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed  
and grounded in accordance with all local codes  
and ordinances.  
The Model G1011Z is wired for 110V, single phase  
operation only. The 1 HP motor will safely draw  
16 amps at 110V. A complete Wiring Diagram for  
the motor and switches is provided near the back  
of this manual for more information.  
Fusing  
This equipment must be grounded. Verify  
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit  
you intend to plug into is actually ground-  
ed. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a  
separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire  
from the outlet to a known ground. Under  
no circumstances should the grounding pin  
from any three-pronged plug be removed.  
Serious injury may occur.  
A 20-amp slow-blow fuse or circuit breaker  
should be used on the 110V circuit this bandsaw  
is connected to. Circuits rated any higher are  
not adequate to protect the motor from power  
surges. If you operate this 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 a power failure  
still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our  
service department.  
Extension Cords  
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord  
with the Model G1011Z, 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 exten-  
sion 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.

Unpacking  
Clean Up  
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy  
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-  
ment. Remove this protective coating 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 prod-  
uct you choose for clean up.  
The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a  
carefully packed crate. 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 situa-  
tion, please call us.  
Many of the solvents commonly used to  
clean machinery can be highly flamma-  
ble, and toxic when inhaled or ingested.  
Always work in well-ventilated areas far  
from potential ignition sources when deal-  
ing with solvents. Use care when dispos-  
ing 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.  
The G1011Z is a very heavy machine (626  
lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert  
yourself while unpacking or moving your  
machine – get assistance. In the event that  
your machine 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 per-  
sonal injury may occur.  
NOTICE  
Please keep all packaging materials until  
you are satisfied that the machine is in  
good condition. Should you need to file a  
freight claim, the carrier’s agent will require  
inspection of those materials. Settling a  
claim can be difficult if packaging is not  
available.  
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-  
based 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.  
When you are completely satisfied with the con-  
dition of your shipment, you should inventory its  
parts.  
All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge  
(called “flashing”) on them after they are  
formed. This is generally removed at the  
factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might  
escape inspection, and the sharp edge may  
cause cuts or lacerations when handled.  
Please examine the edges of all die-cut  
metal parts and file or sand the edge to  
remove the flashing before handling.

Notes  
Site Considerations  
FLOOR LOAD  
Your G1011Z Bandsaw represents a large weight  
load in a small footprint. Most commercial or resi-  
dential shop floors should be sufficient to carry the  
weight of the machine. If you have any question  
about the floor structure being able to support the  
weight, contact your local city building inspector  
or a qualified civil engineer or contractor.  
WORKING CLEARANCES  
Working clearances can be thought of as the  
distances between machines and obstacles that  
allow safe operation of every machine with-  
out 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 rela-  
tive position of each machine to one another for  
efficient material handling. Be sure to allow your-  
self 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 exten-  
sion 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 young-  
sters by closing and locking all entrances  
when you are away. Never allow visitors in  
your shop when assembling, adjusting or  
operating equipment.

5. If it is easy to stop the travel, or if the  
saw bow wants to reverse direction, then  
the spring tension is too strong. Turn the  
adjusting nut clockwise so more of the eye  
bolt threads extend beyond the bracket.  
Saw Pressure  
The pressure or force which the saw exerts when  
pushing through the workpiece is the result of  
the weight of the bow assembly counterbalanced  
by the amount of spring tension applied through  
the large coil spring on the back of the machine  
base. This should be set so there is a moderate  
amount of pressure. Harder or softer materials  
may require adjusting the head pressure for spe-  
cific operations. See Adjusting Feed Rate in the  
Operations Section.  
Use caution when adjusting the saw bow.  
Keep hands and arms clear of the cutting  
area when releasing the cylinder pressure  
to lower the saw. Even with the saw off,  
the weight of the bow can severely lacer-  
ate or break a hand or arm which might  
get trapped between the saw and the bed.  
Serious personal injury may result.  
Spring adjustment is performed in the following  
sequence:  
1. Raise saw bow to the open position, with  
the bow at the top of its travel.  
2. Open the hydraulic feed rate valve all the  
way by turning it counterclockwise.  
3. The saw bow should come down at a slow  
steady rate. You should be able to stop its  
travel with a light upward force from one or  
two fingers.  
4. If it is hard to stop the travel, then the spring  
tension is too weak. Turn the adjusting nut  
on the spring’s eye bolt (See Figure 3)  
counterclockwise so there is less of the eye  
bolt threads extending beyond the bracket.  
Less Pressure  
More Pressure

If the tension seems correct, make the other  
adjustments to the saw (aligning guides, tracking  
and speed) and test run it on a scrap piece of  
material. If the blade is not cutting properly, the  
tension may be incorrect and you’ll need to read-  
just the tension. Remember to reduce the blade  
tension when the saw will not be in use, this will  
help to prevent premature wear or breakage of  
the blade.  
Tension/Tracking  
Proper blade tension and tracking are important  
for optimum bandsaw performance. See Figure  
4 for bandsaw tension and tracking control loca-  
tions.  
Tension Control  
Tracking Control  
TRACKING  
To adjust tracking, disconnect the bandsaw from  
the power source. Raise the saw bow as high  
as possible and remove the cap screw from the  
hinged wheel cover. This will allow you to see the  
bandsaw wheel which has a machined step and  
a groove on it.  
The socket head cap screw and lock nut on the  
top of the saw bow changes the plane of rotation  
of this wheel. Turn the wheel by hand (remove  
the belt guard and turn the motor pulley) for a  
few revolutions and observe whether the edge of  
the blade stays snug against the machined step.  
If it does not, adjust the cap screw until the blade  
stays against that step through several complete  
revolutions of the blade.  
Figure 4. Tension and tracking controls.  
TENSION  
Since a number of blade metal types and tooth  
configurations will work in this saw, proper blade  
tension is dependent upon the type of blade and  
the material to be cut. Too much tension will  
result in blade breakage. A properly tensioned  
blade will track the cutting line accurately and the  
cut will be smoother.  
Once it stays centered when rotated by hand,  
lock the cap screw in place with the locking nut.  
Reconnect the machine to power and turn the  
machine on for just a few seconds. Observe the  
action of the blade and the wheel during this test,  
being sure to maintain a safe distance should  
the blade become disengaged. If the blade stays  
snug to the step, close the cover and secure with  
the cap screw.  
Initially 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. Slide the blade guide assembly  
all the way to the left so the blade is fully  
exposed.  
The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use  
extra care when handling the blade, or work-  
ing near it. Serious injury is possible.  
2. Press, with moderate pressure, on the face  
of the blade with your thumb.  
3. Turn the tensioning knob at the top of the  
machine to change the amount of tension.  
The blade should flex no more than 1/4".

2. Guide Bearings - The guide bearings ride  
on either side of the blade and ensure that  
the blade is not pushed too far laterally. To  
adjust the guide bearings, loosen the cap  
screw at the bottom of the bearing assem-  
bly. Use an open end wrench to move the  
brass hex nut which is an eccentric bush-  
ing. Turning the hex nut will move the bear-  
ing assembly into or away from the blade.  
When the bearings are just touching the  
blade, tighten the cap screw. Repeat this  
procedure for all four guide bearing assem-  
blies. The bearings should be able to be  
rotated by hand while still touching the side  
of the blade. See Figure 6.

Figure 5. Support Bearing Adjustments.  
Whenever changing a blade or adjusting tension  
and tracking, the left and right hand blade support  
bearings and guide bearings must be re-adjust-  
ed. Always adjust the guide bearings 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 left  
and right support bearings and guide bearings  
into position.

Bushing  
Adjustment of the guides is a three step pro-  
cedure, consisting of adjustments to both the  
support bearings and guide bearings. The adjust-  
ments are as follows:  
Figure 6. Guide Bearing Adjustments.  
3. Blade Square To Table - The blade guide  
bearings must also be adjusted to make  
sure the blade is perpendicular to the sur-  
face of the table. Lower the saw bow all the  
way down until it contacts the stop screw.  
Use a machinist’s square with one edge on  
the bed table surface and the other against  
the side of the blade. With the upper secur-  
ing bolt still loose, rotate the guide bearings  
assembly block until the blade is square.  
Now tighten the upper and lower bolts to  
secure this position.  
1. Support Bearings - The support bearings  
guide the back edge of the blade during  
the sawing operation. There is one bearing  
each on the left and right hand guides. See  
Figure 5. To adjust the support bearings,  
loosen the two cap screws until the blade  
guide block can be moved. Move the block  
so the bearing just touches the back of the  
blade. Tighten the cap screw closest to  
the blade, leave the other loose for now.  
Use the two fine adjustment set screws to  
back the bearing away from the blade until  
it is between .003'' and .005'' away from  
the edge of the blade. It may help to use a  
feeler gauge to check the gap. Be sure to  
adjust both the left and right hand sides.

Horizontal Stop Screw  
Auto Shut-Off  
The horizontal stop screw limits the downward  
travel of the saw bow to keep the blade from  
running into the cast iron bed. The stop screw is  
located on the saw bow just next to the left hand  
blade wheel cover. See Figure 7.  
The motor should shut off immediately after  
the blade has cut through the material and just  
before the head comes to rest on the horizontal  
stop screw. The automatic shut off limit switch is  
located near the saw bow pivot point next to the  
hydraulic cylinder. See Figure 8.  
Lower the saw bow by opening the feed rate  
1
valve. Stop the bow when the teeth are just 8''  
Turn the saw on (after making sure the blade  
tensioning and tracking is correct), and lower  
the saw bow slowly. The saw should turn off just  
before the saw bow hits the stop screw. If it does  
not shut off at the proper point, the limit switch  
needs adjustment.  
below the top surface of the bed. Adjust the stop  
screw so it touches the bed surface. Tighten the  
locknut on the stop screw.  
Loosen the two screws holding the limit switch  
bracket, and raise or lower the switch until the  
proper shut off point is achieved. If the switch is  
manually depressed, you will hear a click at the  
point the switch is being activated. You can use  
this activation point to set the switch in the proper  
position without the saw power being on.  
Locknut  
After positioning the switch, double check its  
operation to make certain it is shutting off the  
blade just before contacting the horizontal stop  
screw.

to the manufacturer’s mix ratio? Is the cool-  
ant nozzle directed at the cutting location  
and is the pump on?  
7. Operator Safety - Is the machine operator  
wearing safety goggles and hearing protec-  
tion? Avoid standing directly in front of the  
machine while it is cutting, stand to one side  
yet close enough to reach the control panel  
if needed.  
Pre-Run Check  
There are many adjustment points and compen-  
sating differences 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 predict-  
ability of your bandsaw’s performance:  
1. Blade Type - Is the blade the proper  
tooth count and blade configuration for the  
material you need to cut? Is it sharp? Is it  
installed in the machine so the teeth are  
pointing in the right direction, according to  
the label on the saw bow.  
The Model G1011Z Bandsaw is a powerful,  
professional-quality machine, designed and  
built to provide outstanding results when  
used cautiously and with respect. Like any  
machine of its type, the Model G1011Z has  
some inherent dangers, which, when used  
with a lack of care, can result in serious  
injury or fatality. Please do not attempt  
to use this machine without familiarizing  
yourself with the instructions for assembly,  
adjustment, and safe operation. Failure to  
do so could result in serious personal inju-  
ry, as well as property damage and damage  
to the machine.  
2. Blade Tensioning - Is the blade tensioned  
properly? Is the blade tracking evenly on  
the wheels?  
3. Blade Guides - Are the blade guides  
adjusted so the bearings are just touching  
the blade without binding. The movable  
blade guide on the left hand side should be  
moved as close to the material to be cut as  
possible.  
4. Speeds and Feeds - Has the proper cut-  
ting speed been selected for the type of  
material to be cut? Has the proper feed rate  
for the bow been set for the type of material  
to be cut?  
5. Vise - Is the material to be cut securely held  
in the vise? Is the vise oriented to the blade  
properly? Is the material situated in such a  
manner that the cutting will not begin on a  
sharp corner?

Many conditions can lead to breakage. Blade  
breakage is, in some cases, unavoidable, since it  
is the natural result of the peculiar stresses that  
bandsaw blades are subjected to. Blade break-  
age 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) Insufficient number of teeth contacting the cut;  
(3) feeding too fast; (4) tooth dullness or absence  
of sufficient set; (5) excessive tension; (6) using  
a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished weld;  
and (7), continuously running the bandsaw when  
not in use.  
Blade Selection  
A bandsaw blade is a ribbon of steel subjected  
to tremendous strain. Be sure you use qual-  
ity blades for the various types of cutting opera-  
tions. The Grizzly G1011Z bandsaw accepts 1'' x  
101" blades. Bandsaw blades can be purchased  
welded, set, and sharpened ready-for-use from  
most saw shops. We also supply tool steel and  
variable pitch bi-metal blades for this saw. Please  
refer to our current catalog for prices and ordering  
information.  
There are several key factors to consider in  
choosing a blade:  
Tooth Pitch - The number of teeth per inch  
(TPI) on the blade, also known as tooth  
pitch. Select a pitch which will assure that  
at least three teeth are contacting the  
workpiece while cutting. This helps to dis-  
tribute the cutting forces and avoids tooth  
breakage.  
Gullet  
Tooth Form - There are four common forms  
of teeth on the blade: buttress, claw-tooth,  
precision and tungsten carbide. Precision is  
the most common and is the type supplied  
with this saw. See Figure 9. It is the most  
versatile and it provides a good surface  
finish.  
Tooth Set - Set is the degree to which the  
teeth are bent away from the blade. Typical  
tooth set styles are raker, wave and straight  
set. Raker set is the most common with one  
tooth offset to the right, the next one to the  
left, and the third is straight. A wave set  
will have 3-4 teeth bent progressively one  
direction, then to the other in a wave-like  
pattern. A straight set is alternating teeth  
set right, then left.  
Gullet Line

Operating this equipment has the poten-  
tial to propel debris into the air which can  
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-  
es 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).  
Always select and use good-quality saw blades  
and choose the right blade for the job. Discuss  
your cutting requirements with your saw blade  
dealer to make sure you are getting the type of  
blade which best suits your need. Poor quality  
blades and improper use are often the cause of  
premature blade failure.

Changing Blades  
Use extreme caution when replacing blades.  
Teeth are dangerously sharp and coiled  
blades are prone to spring when released  
from their packaging. Use heavy leather  
or welding gloves and safety glasses or  
goggles whenever handling blades. Failure  
to do so could result in serious personal  
injury.  
Figure 10. Outer wheel and cover.  
To remove the blade, ensure the power is discon-  
nected and raise the saw bow as high as it will  
go:  
3. Apply tension to the blade by turning the  
tension control knob. Refer to blade ten-  
sioning instructions earlier in this section.  
1. Loosen tension on the blade by turning the  
tension knob. See Figure 10.  
4. Adjust the guide blocks and bearings as

described in the previous section.  
5. Close the wheel covers. Install the cap  
screws to secure the covers.  
3. Remove the cap screws from the cover  
plates over both of the bandsaw wheels.  
At the outer end of the bow the cover is  
hinged, at the other the plate must be com-  
pletely removed.  
4. Slide the blade off both wheels and out of  
the blade guides. Use caution, the blades  
are sharp!  
To replace the blade, ensure that the power is  
disconnected and:  
1. Position the blade so the teeth are pointing  
down and toward the right when you are  
facing the front of the machine. There are  
blade tooth direction labels on the front of  
the saw. If the teeth will not point downward  
in any orientation, the blade is inside out.  
Twist it until it is right side out.  
2. Slip the blade through the left and right hand  
guides and mount over the two wheels.

Adjusting Feed Rate  
Coolant  
The hydraulic cylinder connected to the saw bow  
regulates the rate at which the blade is lowered  
into the workpiece. Opening and closing the valve  
on the control panel (See Figure 13) controls the  
feed rate.  
Use of the coolant system is optional and is  
dependent upon the type of material being cut  
and the quantity. Directing coolant on the cut  
keeps the blade and workpiece from overheating,  
and it flushes the metal chips away from the tooth  
area to keep a good cutting surface.  
There is a by-pass valve on the side of the  
hydraulic cylinder which is preset at the factory.  
This by-pass allows the pressure to be relieved  
if for some reason the saw bow is forced down-  
ward. Do not attempt to adjust the by-pass valve  
setting.  
The coolant tank is at the bottom of the machine  
on the right hand side. See Figure 14. Add  
the coolant solution to this tank, and locate the  
submersible pump so the suction intake is com-  
pletely submerged. Generally water soluble fluids  
will work best. Refer to the specific mixing and  
replacement instructions of the coolant manufac-  
turer. A drain plug is located at the corner of the  
tank to allow the easy draining of the coolant.  
Regulator Valve  
Turn the coolant pump on at the control panel,  
and direct the coolant nozzle directly at the cut.

Guide Adjustment  
Vise and Stop  
The workpiece(s) must always be secured in the  
vise for cutting. Never attempt to hold the mate-  
rial by hand, the cutting forces on a metal-cutting  
bandsaw are too strong. The angle of the cut can  
be revised by loosening the cap screws securing  
the vise jaws to the table and turning them to the  
angle desired. Tighten the cap screws.  
The blade will cut best when the blade is support-  
ed as close to the workpiece as possible. Once  
the material has been secured in the vise, loosen  
the two knobs on top of the saw bow and slide the  
moveable guide over as close to the material as  
possible without interfering with the cut. Tighten  
the knobs. See Figure 15.  
One side of the vise slides along the bed when  
the handle lifts the threads off the lead screw.  
See Figure 16. Place the material to be cut  
between the sides of the vise jaws, and move the  
sliding portion as close to the material as pos-  
sible. Seat the handle on the lead screw threads.  
Then using the handwheel on the left hand side  
of the bed, tighten the jaws until the material is  
firmly secured. Never release the vise by pulling  
up on the handle. Damage to the screw and nut  
will occur and may render it unusable.  
Just in front of the vise, protruding from beneath  
the table, is the material stop bar. This can be set  
so that material can be cut to the same length  
over a series of cuts. Set the length of cut by  
measuring from the plane of the saw blade to the  
end of the stop bar. Tighten the thumb screws.  
Slide the material so it contacts the stop bar.  
Activate the saw and make the cut. Raise the saw  
bow and advance the material so it once again  
touches the stop bar. This will assure the cuts are  
made to the same exact length.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE  
V-Belt  
Table  
To ensure optimum power transmission from the  
motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good  
condition and must be under the proper tension.  
The belt should be checked for cracks, fraying  
and wear. Belt integrity should be checked at  
least every 3 months; more often if the bandsaw  
is used daily.  
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the  
Model G1011Z should be protected against rust  
and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every use  
helps to ensure that coolant and chips won’t begin  
to corrode the working surfaces of the bandsaw.  
Protect the table surfaces with a light coating of  
oil periodically, especially when the saw will not  
be used for a time period.  
Make sure the belt is tensioned properly whenev-  
er speed changes are made Refer to the Cutting  
Speed section for more complete detail on the  
speeds and moving the belt.  
Make your workshop “child-safe.” Remove  
all safety keys from this and other machin-  
ery when they’re not in use. Place sharp  
tools and blades high enough to discourage  
curious fingers. Store lubricants, finishes  
and other harmful chemicals where they  
can’t be easily reached. Lock your work-  
shop securely when you are away.  
Operating this equipment has the poten-  
tial to propel debris into the air which can  
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-  
es 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).

Lubrication  
Miscellaneous  
Always be aware of the condition of your bandsaw  
before using it. Routinely check the condition of  
the following items and repair or replace as nec-  
essary.  
The bearings used in the motor, the wheels and  
the blade guides are shielded and pre-lubricated  
ball bearings. These require no lubrication for  
the life of the bearings. All bearings are standard  
sizes and replacements can be purchased from  
our parts department or bearing supply store.  
1. Worn or damaged blade.  
2. Worn switches.  
The rod on which the saw bow pivots needs  
an occasional shot of light oil to keep it moving  
smoothly.  
3. Loose mounting bolts.  
4. Worn or damaged support bearings or  
The gear box should not need changing unless  
the oil becomes contaminated or leaks. To check  
the oil, lower the saw bow down all the way and  
wait a few minutes for the oil to drain down. Open  
the oil cap on top of the gearbox. The gear case  
is full when the oil is up to the bottom of the filler  
hole. Use 90W gear oil if it becomes necessary to  
change or add to the oil.  
guide bearings.  
Coolant System  
The coolant system must be properly filled with  
the proper mix of coolant and water in accor-  
dance with the coolant manufacturer’s specifi-  
cations. The coolant will need to be replaced  
periodically as the bandsaw is used more. Some  
coolant types also breakdown over time, or need  
additives to reduce the growth of bacteria or fun-  
gus in the solution.  
There is a filter in the bottom of the coolant pump  
which will need periodic cleaning or replacement.  
Any time coolant flow does not seem sufficient,  
check the coolant sump for level, and check the  
pump filter.
