The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This  
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of  
importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember  
that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper  
accident prevention measures.  
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
WILL result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
COULD result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert  
against unsafe practices.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about  
proper operation of the equipment.

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.  
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.

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  
parts before handling  
them. Failure to do so  
could result in injury.

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.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY  
Table  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and out of the  
way of machinery and  
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.

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 116" 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 116" 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 14" 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  
setscrew in the guide bracket.  
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 Guard  
Table Stop  
The positive stop under the table (see Figure 15)  
allows you to repeatedly square up the table after  
adjusting the table tilt. To adjust the positive stop  
so the table will return perpendicular (90°) to the  
blade after angle cutting:  
The blade guard is attached to the guide post  
above the upper blade guide assembly. For prop-  
er setup, the blade should be centered in the  
blade guard.  
To center the blade guard:  
1. Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged!  
1. Loosen the hex bolt that secures the blade  
guard bracket to the guide post.  
2. Rotate the blade guard bracket in the appro-  
priate direction until the blade guard is cen-  
tered around the blade as illustrated in  
Figure 14.  
3. Tighten the hex bolt that secures the blade  
guard bracket to the guide post.

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.  
Checking/adjusting the blade tension  
Replacing the blade  
Sharpening the blade  
Skewing the fence to match the lead  
Attaching an aftermarket or shop made  
resaw fence attachment.  
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  
20634" 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.”  
-22-

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

Blade Changes  
Wear gloves and safety goggles when han-  
dling blades. Coiled blades spring open as  
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 34".  
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

Like all power tools, there is danger associ-  
ated with the 24" and 27" Resaw Bandsaws.  
Use your bandsaw with respect and caution  
to lessen the possibility of mechanical dam-  
age or operator injury. If normal safety pre-  
cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious  
personal injury may occur.  
We have included some important safety mea-  
sures that are essential to the operation of this  
machine. While most safety measures are gener-  
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).
