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.

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.
8. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND
SMOOTHLY. Do not force or twist blade
while cutting, especially when sawing
small radii.
9. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO
CUT METAL or other material except
wood.
2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR
THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.
Serious personal injury could occur.
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.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW
WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND
BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.
4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure
teeth face down toward the table. The force
of the cut is always down. Make sure the
blade is properly tensioned after installing.
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 sec-
ond-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.
7. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED before beginning a cut.
To operate this or any power tool safely and
efficiently, it is essential to become as famil-
iar with it as possible. The time you invest
before you begin to use your bandsaw will
be time well spent. DO NOT operate this
machine until you are completely familiar
with the contents of this manual or 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.

Grounding
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords on 220V or 440V equipment. It is much bet-
ter to arrange the placement of your equipment
and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for
extension 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali-
fied electrician. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cords immediately.
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 extension cords that have grounding
type plugs and receptacles that accept the plug
on the machine.

Unpacking
Piece Inventory
The 24" and 27" Resaw Bandsaws are shipped
from the manufacturer in a carefully packed crate.
If you discover the machine is damaged after you
have signed for delivery, please call Customer
Service immediately for advice.
After all the parts have been removed from the
carton, you should have:
• Bandsaw Unit with Blade
• Table with Rail Attached
• Dust Port
Save the containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.
Otherwise filing a freight claim can be difficult.
• Fence
• Miter Gauge (G3619/G3620 only)
• Hardware Bag
(1) Allen Wrench 6mm
(1) Open-End Wrench 12/14 mm
(1) Open-End Wrench 21/23 mm
(1) Phillips Screwdriver
When you are completely satisfied with the con-
dition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.
In the event that any non-proprietary parts are
missing (e.g. nuts or washers), we would be glad
to replace them, or for the sake of expediency,
replacements can be obtained at your local hard-
ware store.
The 24" and 27" Resaw
Bandsaws are heavy
machines. DO NOT
over-exert
yourself
while unpacking or
moving your machine –
you will need assis-
tance and power equip-
ment. Serious personal
injury may occur if safe
moving methods are not
followed.
Some metal parts may
have sharp edges on
them after they are
formed. Please examine
the edges of all metal

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. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol-
low the manufacturer’s instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
1. Floor Load: The 24" and 27" Resaw
Bandsaws represent a large weight load in a
small footprint. Most commercial floors are
suitable for your machine. Some residential
floors may require additional build up to sup-
port 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.
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 use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have low flash
points which make them
extremely flammable. A
risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used.
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.
Do not smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explo-
sion or fire exists and may
result in serious personal
injury.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or 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.

keep hair pulled back.
The table for this bandsaw
is very heavy. Get help
when placing it on the
trunnion.
Keep power disconnect-
ed from machine when
performing the assembly
process. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
To mount the table:
1. Installing the table is easiest if the blade is
out of the way. Remove the blade by first
loosening the blade tension handwheel, then
by sliding it off the bandsaw wheels. Wear
heavy leather gloves to protect your hands.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire assembly
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
2. With the help of another person, lift the table
onto the trunnion.
3. Place the large hex bolt with washer through
the table trunnion mount and the trunnion.
Do not tighten the bolt completely at this
time. The assembly should now look similar
to Figure 4.

To move the assemblies out of the way, loosen
the middle cap screws (shown in Figure 9) from
the front of the blade guide assembly. These
screws loosen the guide blocks which can then
slide out of the way of the blade. After the blade
tension and the blade tracking are set correctly,
follow the “Guide Block” and “Support Bearing”
instructions in this section for adjustment details.

Tracking
G9963/G9966
Tracking
The wheels on the Model G3619/G3620 Resaw
Bandsaws are crowned with rubber tires. This
style requires center tracking for proper opera-
tion.
The wheels on the Model G9963/G9966 Resaw
Bandsaws are considered “Flat Wheels.” This
means that tracking procedures vary from the
common crowned wheel bandsaws, because
they do not have to be centered for proper oper-
ation.
To center track your blade:
1. Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged!
To track the blade:
2. Open the upper wheel cover door. Slowly
rotate the upper wheel and watch where the
blade rides on the wheel. If the blade stays
centered on the crown of the wheel, then it is
properly tracked.
1. Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged!
2. Open the wheel cover doors and check the
position of the blade on the wheels. The
teeth of the blade should be over the edge of
each wheel. Ideally, the bottom of the teeth
gullets should ride approximately 1⁄16" off the
edge of the wheels as shown in Figure 10.
3. If the blade does not ride centered on the
crown of the wheel, then spin the upper
wheel by hand and adjust the tracking hand-
wheel until the blade is positioned correctly.
4. Spin the wheel approximately three more
times to ensure that the blade stays cen-
tered. Adjust and check if necessary.
5. Close the upper wheel cover door.

wheels then you need to adjust the tracking
handwheel on the backside of the saw.
2. Adjust the support bearing shaft so it is
approximately .016" away from the back of
the blade. Four thicknesses of a dollar bill is
approximately the equivalent to .016". For a
quick gauge, fold a dollar bill in half twice.
4. Turn the tracking handwheel a few times and
note the direction that the blade shifts when
you spin it by hand.
5. Adjust the tracking handwheel until the blade
gullets ride approximately 1⁄16" away from the
edge of the wheels while you are spinning
the upper wheel by hand. Your saw is now
properly tracked.
3. Slip your folded dollar between the back of
the blade and the support bearing as shown
in Figure 11. Lightly pinch the folded dollar
with the support bearing and secure the sup-
port bearing shaft in place.
4. Remove the folded dollar bill.
Support Bearings
The support bearings back-up the blade during
the sawing operation. The important adjustments
to make with the support bearings are centering
them laterally and adjusting the distance between
the support bearing and the back of the blade.
To center the support bearings laterally:
1. Loosen the two hex bolts that allow the
upper assembly to move side-to-side.

Guide Blocks
5. Loosen the hex bolt that secures the blade
guide shaft to the guide post collar. Adjust
the blade guide assembly either forward or
backward, so the front blade guide is posi-
tioned not more than 1⁄4" behind the bottom of
the blade gullet as illustrated in Figure 13.
The guide blocks ensure that the blade cannot
move side-to-side too far during operation.
Perform steps 1-4 for both upper and lower guide
blocks.
1. Loosen the guide blocks from the center

6. Tighten the blade guide shaft hex bolt.
2. The guide blocks should be approximately
.004" away from the blade. This number is
approximately the same as the single thick-
ness of a dollar bill.
3. Fold a dollar bill once and slide it over the
blade so each side is between blade and the
blade guides as shown in Figure 12.

Blade Tension
The rest of the adjustments in this section
require you to start the bandsaw. Before
starting the bandsaw, make sure you have
performed the preceding assembly and
adjustment instructions, and you have read
through the rest of the manual and are
familiar with the various functions and safe-
ty issues associated with this machine.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious personal injury or even death!
Proper blade tension is essential to any cutting
operation on the bandsaw. Any time you change
blades or remove a blade, you must re-adjust the
tension.
To adjust the tension:
1. Loosen the upper and lower guide blocks.
Tighten them down and away from the blade
BEFORE turning ON.
Test Run
2. Lower the upper guide block assembly down
to the table and tighten.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Push
the START button to turn on 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. If strange or unnatural noises are immediate-
ly apparent, press the STOP button. Investigate
and correct before operating the machine further.
3. With moderate tension already on the blade,
turn the bandsaw ON.
4. If you see the blade start to flutter, increase
the tension until the blade stops fluttering,
then tighten the tension handle an additional
half turn.
If the blade does not flutter, decrease the
tension until it begins to flutter, then tighten
just to the point that it stops fluttering. Now
tighten the tension handle an additional half
turn.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an
unusual noise or vibration, feel free to contact our
service department for help.
5. Turn the bandsaw OFF and make the other
adjustments in this section. Also, check the
tracking and blade guides to make sure that
they did not change after tensioning the
blade.
If the blade does not cut properly, the tension
may be incorrect. Re-adjust the tension.
After setting the tension, make a note of what the
tension gauge reads. Use this to go back to your
tension setting during later tensioning and reten-
sioning with that particular blade.
Keep in mind that blades will last longer if you
release the tension after every use. Also, new
blades will often stretch with use. A tension that
worked well when a blade was new may not work
as well after the blade has been used.

Fence Adjustment
Blade Lead
Sometimes the bandsaw blade will not cut
straight even when the fence and blade are par-
allel (see Figure 17). This condition is called
“lead.” 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.
The fence slides along the rail for adjustment and
secures in place by tightening the star knob.
If you notice that the fence is not parallel to the
blade, it can be adjusted where the rail mounts to
the bottom of the table.
To adjust the fence so it is parallel with the
blade:
If you determine that your blade is causing lead
problems, you should consider:
1. With a different saw, cut a board to 1" x 4" x
28". Down the length of the board, joint one
edge perfectly straight, or rip a narrow strip
off the length of the board with a table saw.

2. On a wide face of the board, draw a straight
line parallel to the jointed/ripped edge.
3. Slide the bandsaw fence out of the way and
cut free-hand along the line. Stop at the
halfway point. Turn the bandsaw OFF and
wait for the blade to stop.
4. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with-
out moving it. Now slide the fence over to the
board so it barely touches one end of the
board.
5. Loosen the two hex bolts that secure the
fence rail to the underside of the table.
6. Skew the fence left or right so it is parallel to
the edge of the scrap piece. You may need
to re-adjust the fence locking mechanisms to
gain maximum adjustment.
Figure 17. Typical example of blade leading
away from line of cut.
7. While maintaining the skew, tighten the rail
mounting bolts.
NOTICE
If the table is shifted, the fence will be affect-
ed since it is attached.
8. Make a few cuts using the fence. If the fence
still does not seem parallel to the blade, read
the “Blade Lead” instructions, or repeat
steps 1-7 until the blade and fence are par-
allel with each other.
NOTICE
Lead adjustments will change when new
blades are mounted in the saw.

Blade Length
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance or
assembly. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
Measured by the circumference, blade lengths
are usually unique to the model of your bandsaw
and the wheel diameter. The Model G3619/3620
is designed for blades that are 175" long. The
Model G9963/G9966 requires blades that are
2063⁄4" long.
Blade Width
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire operation
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Measured from the the back of the blade to the tip
of the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width
is often the first consideration given to blade
selection.
A narrow blade can cut tight curves (a small
radius) but is not very good at cutting straight
lines, because they naturally wander (blade
lead). However, larger blades are much better at
cutting straight lines and this makes them a nat-
ural choice for resawing applications
Using this machine pro-
duces sawdust which may
cause allergic reactions
and respiratory problems.
Use an approved dust
mask to protect yourself
from these hazards!
The 24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws function best
with blades that are 2" or 3" wide. Refer to the
current Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering
information. Always pick the size of blade that
best suits your application.
NOTICE
Tooth Style
The following section was designed to give
instructions on the basic operations of this
bandsaw. However, it is in no way compre-
hensive of every bandsaw application.
There are many different jigs that can be
built to increase safety, accuracy, and types
of cuts. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that
you read books, trade magazines, or get for-
mal training to maximize the potential of
your machine.
When selecting blades, another option to consid-
er is the shape, gullet size and angle of the
teeth—otherwise known as “Tooth Style.”

Figure 18 shows the three main categories of
tooth style.
per inch (fine pitch) will cut slower, but smoother;
while fewer teeth per inch (coarse pitch) will cut
rougher, but faster. As a general rule, choose
blades that will have at least three, but not more
than twelve teeth in the material at all times. Use
fine pitched blades on harder woods and coarse
pitched blades on softer woods.
Blade Care
Hook
Skip
Raker
A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that
is subjected to tremendous strain. You can obtain
longer use from a bandsaw blade if you give it fair
treatment and always use the appropriate feed
rate for your operation.
Be sure to select blades with the proper width,
style, and pitch for each application. The wrong
choice of blades will often produce unnecessary
heat which will shorten the life of your blade.
Figure 18. Raker, Skip and Hook blades.
•
RAKER — This style is considered to be the
standard because the tooth size and shape
are the same as the tooth gullet. The teeth
on Raker blades are usually very numerous,
have no angle, and produce cuts by scraping
the material; these characteristics result in
very smooth cuts, but at the same time do
not cut fast and generate more heat while
cutting.These blades also work well for cut-
ting curves.
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
cutting blade lubricant like SLIPIT® (Model
G5562/3 in the Grizzly Catalog).
Blade Breakage
•
SKIP — This style is like a raker blade that is
missing every other tooth. Because of the
design, skip toothed blades have a much
larger gullet than raker blades, and there-
fore, cut faster and generate less heat.
However, these blades also leave a rougher
cut than raker blades. Great for resawing
and ripping thin stock.
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to
break. Blade breakage is unavoidable, in some
cases, since it is the natural result of the peculiar
stresses that bandsaw blades are subjected to.
Blade breakage is also due to avoidable circum-
stances. 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.
•
HOOK — The teeth on this style have a pos-
itive angle (downward) which makes them
dig into the material, and the gullets are usu-
ally rounded for easier waste removal.
These blades are excellent for the tough
demands of resawing and ripping thick
stock.
The most common causes of blade breakage are:
(1) faulty alignment or adjustment of the guides,
(2) forcing or twisting a wide blade around a curve
of short radius, (3) feeding too fast, (4) tooth dull-
ness or absence of sufficient set, (5) excessive
tension, (6) top blade guide assembly set too high
above the work piece, (7) using a blade with a
lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld and
(8) running the bandsaw when not in use.
Tooth Pitch
Usually measured as T.P.I. (teeth per inch), tooth
pitch determines the size of the teeth. More teeth

they are uncoiled and could cause deep
cuts or lacerations.
Always
disconnect
power to the machine
when changing blades.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
To replace the blade:
1. Slide the blade through the table slot, ensur-
ing that the teeth are pointing down toward
the table.
To remove the blade:
If the teeth will not point downward in any ori-
entation, the blade is inside-out. Put on
heavy gloves, remove the blade, and twist it
rightside-out.
1. After making sure the bandsaw is
unplugged, release the tension on the blade
by turning the tension control knob counter-
clockwise.
2. Slip the blade through the upper and lower
guides, and mount it over the upper and
lower wheels so the blade teeth are over the
edge of the wheels.
2. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks
away from the blade.
3. Put on leather gloves to protect your hands
from the sharp teeth of the blade.
3. Apply tension, then check and adjust track-
ing.
4. Open the upper and lower wheel covers and
slide the blade off both wheels. Use cau-
tion—the blades are sharp!
4. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks and
support bearings.
5. Close and latch the wheel covers.

Ripping
Stacked Cuts
Ripping is the process of cutting a wide board into
two or more thinner boards. See Figure 19. The
maximum board width that can be ripped is limit-
ed by the maximum throat dimension of the band-
saw.
One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to
cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stack-
ing a number of workpieces together.
Before making stacked cuts, it is essential to
ensure that both the table and the blade are prop-
erly adjusted to 90°. Otherwise, any error will be
compounded with each piece from the top to the
bottom of the stack.
For ripping, a wider blade is better. In most rip-
ping applications, a standard raker tooth style will
be sufficient. Also, since most ripped lumber will
be jointed smooth, you can choose blades with
fewer teeth-per-inch.
To complete a stacked cut:
To perform ripping operations:
1. Align your pieces from top to bottom to
ensure that each piece has adequate scrap
to provide a clean, unhampered cut.
1. The bandsaw must be adjusted correctly.
See “Blade Tension/Tracking” instructions
and “Fence Adjustment” instructions.
2. Secure all the pieces together using brad
nails through the waste portion or using
beads of hot glue across the outside edges.
2. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the
workpiece with a minimum amount of blade
exposed. Read instructions on “Blade Lead”
before making a cut.
3. Lay out the shape you intend to cut on the
face of the top piece.
3. Use a fence to guide the work. Set the dis-
tance between the fence and the blade to the
desired width.
4. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the
workpiece with a minimum amount of the
blade exposed. One inch is ideal.
4. Support the ends of the board if necessary.
5. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the outline
of your intended shape in areas where
changes in blade direction could strain the
blade.
5. Feed the work slowly and evenly with the
straightest edge against the fence.
6. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were
cutting a single piece. Follow the layout line
with the blade kerf on the waste side of your
line.

Resawing
Do not force the wood into the blade during
cutting. This will distort the blade, cause
excessive heat and often results in blade
breakage. Breakage can cause lacerations,
cuts, or serious personal injury.
Resawing is the process of cutting the thickness
of a board into two or more thinner boards. Each
new board is the same width and length as the
original board, but the thickness is less. The max-
imum board width that can be resawn is limited by
the maximum cutting height of the bandsaw.
When resawing, consider using an auxiliary fence
that is higher than the standard fence. This pro-
vides a more solid surface for the workpiece to
slide against. An auxiliary fence can be made
from any straight and flat piece of lumber and can
be bolted or screwed to the standard fence.
The most important consideration when resawing
is blade selection. When selecting a blade, keep
in mind that generally a wider blade is easier to
control.
When using a fence to guide the board, the actu-
al line of cut may not be exactly parallel to the
fence. This is due to a number of reasons involv-
ing the configuration of the table, condition of the
blade, the cutting forces, and the blade tension.
To correct this condition, refer to the “Blade Lead”
instructions.
In most applications a hook or skip tooth style will
work fine. Also, since most resawn lumber will be
planed smooth, you can choose blades with
fewer teeth per inch (3 to 6). While blades with
fewer teeth per inch produce rougher cuts, these
types of blades offer larger gullet capacities for
clearing sawdust, they produce less heat, and
they yield more horsepower per tooth.
To resaw lumber, follow the procedure below:
1. The blade must be adjusted correctly for ten-
sion and tracking.
2. The fence must be square to the blade.
3. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the
workpiece with a minimum amount of blade
exposed.
4. Use the widest blade that will fit your band-
saw. (Use the data sheets in the back of this
manual to determine the maximum blade
width for your saw.) The blade must also be
sharp and in good condition. Read “Blade
Lead” instructions.
5. Use the fence to guide the work.
6. Support the ends of the board if necessary.
7. Feed the work slowly and evenly.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Table
Always
disconnect
power to the machine
when performing mainte-
nance. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
24" and 27" Resaw Bandsaws should be protect-
ed 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
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-
tions of products like SLIPIT®. For long term stor-
age you may want to consider products like
Boeshield® T-9. See the current Grizzly catalog
for 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.
Squeeze the center of the V-belt. Note the
amount of deflection. Deflection should be
approximately 3⁄4".
Lubrication
Sealed 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.
Miscellaneous
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 dry paint brush, and spray on the
lubricant. Ensure that oil does not get on the pul-
leys or V-belt because it could cause belt deteri-
oration and slipping.
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

ally universal, Grizzly reminds you that each
workshop is different and safety rules should be
considered as they apply to your specific situa-
tion.
The 24" and 27" Resaw Bandsaws were
specifically designed for wood cutting oper-
ations. DO NOT MODIFY AND/OR USE
THESE BANDSAWS FOR ANY OTHER PUR-
POSE. Modifications or improper use will
void the warranty. If you are confused about
any aspect of your machine, DO NOT use it
until all your questions are answered.
Serious personal injury may occur.
Operating this equipment has the potential
for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when oper-
ating equipment. Everyday glasses or read-
ing glasses only have impact resistant lens-
es, they are not safety glasses. Be certain
the safety glasses you wear meet the appro-
priate standards of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI).
