SECTION 1: SAFETY  
For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction  
Manual Before Operating this Machine  
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 machine.

Safety Instructions for Metal Cutting  
Bandsaws  
1. BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with  
dull, cracked or badly worn blade. Inspect  
blades for cracks and missing teeth before  
each use.  
8. FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION  
if cutting magnesium. Using the wrong cut-  
ting fluid will lead to a chip fire and possible  
explosion.  
2. HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fin-  
9. CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Always follow  
manufacturer’s cutting-fluid safety instruc-  
tions. Pay particular attention to contact,  
contamination, inhalation, storage and dis-  
posal warnings. Spilled cutting fluid invites  
slipping hazards. Never plug or unplug

in liquids of any kind.  
gers or thumbs in line with the cut.  
3. ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not  
operate this bandsaw without guards in  
place. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair  
and work gloves can be drawn into working  
parts.  
4. BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing  
blades, make sure teeth face toward the  
workpiece. Wear gloves to protect hands  
and safety glasses to protect eyes.  
10. ATTENTION TO WORK AREA. Never  
leave a machine running and unattended.  
Pay attention to the actions of others in the  
area to avoid unintended accidents.  
5. WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always support  
the workpiece with table, vise, or some  
type of support fixture. Flag long pieces  
to avoid a tripping hazard. Never hold the  
workpiece with your hands during a cut.  
11. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspec-  
tions, 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.  
6. LOSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported  
workpieces may jeopardize machine sta-  
bility and cause the machine to tip and fall  
which could cause serious injury.  
12. HEARING PROTECTION & HAZARDS.  
Noise generated by blade and workpiece  
vibration, material handling, and power  
transmission can cause permanent hear-  
ing loss over time and interfere with com-  
munication and audible signals.  
7. POWER INTERRUPTION. Unplug or  
turn off machine after power interruption.  
Machines without magnetic switches can  
start up after power is restored.  
13. HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot sur-  
faces from machine components, ejec-  
tions of hot chips, swarf and workpiece

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS  
Wiring for 220V  
110/220V Operation  
The Model G0561 can be rewired to operate on a  
220V power source. The motor must be rewired  
according to the wiring diagram on the motor  
label. The wiring configuration can also be found  
on the inside of the motor wire cover, as well as  
on Page 38.  
Serious personal injury could occur if you  
connect the machine to the power source  
before you have completed the setup pro-  
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the  
power source until instructed to do so.  
Plug Type  
The Model G0561 comes prewired with a NEMA  
5-15 plug. If you wish to rewire the motor to 220V  
you will need the following 220V plug (see Figure  
2 for an example):  
Amperage Draw  
The Model G0561 features 110/220V motor that  
is prewired for 110V and draws the following  
amps under maximum load:  
220V Plug & Receptacle .............................. 6-15  
Motor Draw at 110V............................... 16 Amps  
Motor Draw at 220V ................................8 Amps  
Circuit Requirements  
We recommend connecting this machine to a  
dedicated circuit with a verified ground, using the  
circuit size given below. Never replace a circuit  
breaker with one of higher amperage without con-  
sulting a qualified electrician to ensure compli-  
ance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about  
the wiring codes in your area or you plan to  
connect your machine to a shared circuit, you  
may create a fire hazard—consult a qualified  
electrician to reduce this risk.

Grounding  
Extension Cords  
In the event of an electrical short, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding  
wire in the power cord must be properly connect-  
ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise,  
the outlet must be properly installed and ground-  
ed. All electrical connections must be made in  
accordance with local codes and ordinances.  
We do not recommend the use of extension  
cords. Instead, arrange the placement of your  
equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate  
the need for extension cords.  
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an  
extension cord at 110V with your machine:  
•
Use at least a 12 gauge cord for 110V or 16  
gauge cord for 220V that does not exceed 50  
feet in length!  
Electrocution or fire could  
result if this machine is  
not grounded correctly or  
if your electrical configu-  
ration does not comply  
with local and state codes.  
Ensure compliance by  
checking with a qualified  
electrician!  
•
•
The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug pin.  
A qualified electrician MUST size cords over  
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.  
This machine must have a ground prong in  
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.  
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug  
to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug  
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet  
installed by a qualified electrician.

Cleanup  
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, such as acetone or brake  
parts cleaner, as they will damage painted sur-  
faces should they come in contact. Always follow  
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any  
type of cleaning product.  
Floor Load  
The weight and footprint size for your machine  
is located in the machine data sheet. Most floors

floors may require additional reinforcement to  
support both the machine and operator.  
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 location for  
your new machine. See Figure 4 for the minimum  
working clearances.  
Gasoline and petroleum  
products have low flash  
points and could cause  
an explosion or fire if  
used to clean machinery.  
DO NOT use gasoline or  
petroleum products to  
clean the machinery.

Many of the solvents  
commonly used to clean  
machinery can be toxic  
when inhaled or ingest-  
ed. Lack of ventilation  
while using these sol-  
vents could cause seri-  
ous personal health risks  
or fire. Take precautions  
from this hazard by only  
using cleaning solvents  
in a well ventilated area.

Blade Selection  
Cutting Fluid System

The Model G0561 uses 93" x  
blades.  
⁄4" bandsaw  
E L E C T R O C U T I O N  
HAZARD! Never plug or  
unplug machine with wet  
hands or while standing  
on wet floor.  
Selecting the right blade for the job depends on  
a variety of factors, such as the type of mate-  
rial being cut, hardness of the material, machine  
capability, and operator technique.  
We suggest you do some research for your spe-  
cific situation so you get the best blade to match  
your needs.  
This bandsaw has a built-in cutting fluid system  
that extends the life of your bandsaw blades by  
lowering the cutting temperature and washing  
away chips.  
Grizzly is proud to offer a variety of selections  
that can be found in the current catalog and in  
SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 28.  
See Cutting Fluid on Page 25 for more informa-  
tion.  
To use the cutting fluid system:  
Blade Guides  
1. Thoroughly clean and remove any foreign  
material that may have fallen inside the res-  
ervoir during shipping.  
The blade guides should be as close to the  
workpiece as possible. This will help ensure  
straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting  
and drifting off the cut line.  
2. Place the filter screen and drain tube in the  
reservoir as shown in Figure 28.  
To adjust the blade guides:  
3. Fill the reservoir to the "High" mark with your  
chosen cutting fluid solution.  
1. Loosen the knob shown in Figure 27 and  
slide the rear blade guide as close to the  
workpiece as possible, then tighten the  
knob.

Cutting Fluid  
FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT  
cut magnesium when  
using oil-water solutions  
as a cutting fluid! Always  
use a cutting fluid intend-  
ed for magnesium. The  
water in the solution will  
cause a magnesium-chip  
fire.  
While simple in concept and function, many  
issues must be taken into account to find and use  
the correct cutting fluid. Always follow all product  
warnings and contact the fluid manufacturer for  
unanswered questions.  
Use the selections below to choose the appro-  
priate cutting fluids:  
•
For cutting low alloy, low carbon, and gen-  
eral-purpose category metals with a bi-metal  
blade—use a water soluble cutting fluid.  
4. Adjust the valve on the coolant hose to  
control the flow of coolant (see Figure 29).  
Make sure that the pressure is not so high  
that coolant spills on the floor and creates a  
slipping hazard.  
•
For cutting stainless steels, high carbon, and  
high alloy metals, brass, copper and mild  
steels—use "Neat Cutting Oil" (commonly  
undiluted mineral oils) that have extreme  
pressure additives (EP additives).  
Control Valve  
•
•
For cutting cast iron, cutting fluid is not rec-  
ommended.  
For cutting magnesium, use only cutting fluid  
that is designed for cutting this material.  
Fluid Nozzle  
Remember: Too much flow at the cutting fluid  
nozzle will make a mess and can make the work  
area unsafe; and not enough fluid at the cut will  
heat the blade, causing the blade teeth to load up  
and break.  
Figure 29. Coolant control valve.  
5. Turn the pump toggle switch ON before mak-  
ing your cut.  
BIOLOGICAL  
AND  
POISON HAZARD! Use  
properpersonalprotection  
equipment when handling  
cutting fluid and dispose  
by following federal, state,  
and fluid manufacturer  
requirements to properly  
dispose of cutting fluid.  
NOTICE  
Keep the tray chip screen clear so coolant  
can recycle to the pump reservoir. NEVER  
operate the pump with the reservoir below  
the low mark or you will over-heat the pump  
and void your warranty!

Feed Rate Dial  
Feed Rate  
The speed at which the saw blade will cut through  
a workpiece is controlled by blade type, feed rate,  
and feed pressure.  
Note: If a lubricant is used on the cut, the feed  
rate can be increased by approximately 15%.  
To set the feed rate:  
ON/OFF Valve  
Figure 31. Feed rate dial.  
1. Raise the bow to the maximum height to  
remove spring tension. Close the ON/OFF  
valve to lock the bow in place.  
2. Using a 9⁄16" wrench, adjust the feed pressure  
tension spring. Tighten enough to remove  
play but not enough to apply tension to the  
spring (see Figure 30).  
5. With the correct saw blade and blade speed  
selected, turn the saw and lubricant pump  
ON.  
6. Open the ON/OFF valve, then slowly rotate  
the feed rate dial clockwise to a slow feed  
rate until the saw begins to cut the workpiece  
(see Figure 31).  
Note: This spring adjustment is an initial set-  
ting. Depending on cutting circumstances,  
you will have to fine-tune the feed pressure  
with this adjustment. Increasing the spring  
tension will reduce the feed pressure.  
7. Observe the chips that exit the cut, and  
increase or decrease the feed rate according  
to the chip characteristics.  
—If you get a tightly curled, warm shavings,  
brown to black in color, you are using too  
much downward pressure.  
—Blue looking chips are caused by extreme  
heat from too high blade speed.  
—Thin powder-like chips are from insufficient  
feed pressure. This will dull your blade rap-  
idly.  
Spring  
Adjustment Nut  
—The best cut and feed rate will give you  
evenly shaped spiraled curls with very little  
color change, if any at all.  
Figure 30. Spring tension adjustment.  
3. Clamp the workpiece in the table vise.  
4. Close the feed ON/OFF valve shown in  
Figure 31, to lock the bow and blade a few  
inches above the workpiece.

•
Wait until the blade has completely stopped  
before removing the workpiece from the vise,  
and avoid touching the cut end—it could be  
very hot!  
Operation Tips  
The following tips will help you safely and effec-  
tively operate your bandsaw, and help you get the  
maximum life out of your saw blades.  
•
•
•
Support long workpieces so they won't fall  
when cut, and flag the end of workpieces to  
alert passers-by of potential danger.  
Tips for horizontal cutting:  
Adjust the blade guides as close as possible  
to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side  
blade movement.  
•
Use the work stop to quickly and accurately  
cut multiple pieces of stock to the same  
length.  
Use coolant when possible to increase blade  
life.  
•
•
Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to  
ensure a straight cut through the material.  
Tips for vertical cutting:  
Let the blade reach full speed before engag-  
ing the workpiece. Never start a cut with the  
blade in contact with the workpiece (see  
Figure 32).  
•
•
•
Make sure that the vertical table assembly is  
securely fastened to the bandsaw frame so it  
will adequately support the workpiece.  
Always keep your fingers away from the blade  
and always hold the workpiece securely with  
the appropriate clamping device.  
Adjust the blade guides as close as possible  
to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side  
blade movement.

Blade Change  
Blades should be changed when they become  
dull, damaged, or when you are using materials  
that require a blade of a certain type or tooth  
count.  
To change the blade on the bandsaw:  
1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!  
2. Raise the bow of the bandsaw to the highest  
position, close the feed ON/OFF valve, and  
remove the wheel access cover.  
Figure 44. Installing blade.  
6. Hold the blade around the bottom wheel with  
one hand and slip it around the top wheel with  
the other hand, keeping the blade between  
the blade guide bearings.  
3. Remove the blade guards.  
4. Loosen the tension handle in Figure 43 and  
slip the blade off of the wheels.  
Note: It is sometimes possible to flip the  
blade inside out, in which case the blade will  
be installed in the wrong direction. Check to  
make sure the blade teeth are facing toward  
the workpiece, as shown in Figure 45, after  
mounting on the bandsaw. Some blades will  
have a directional arrow as a guide.

CUTTING HAZARD! Bandsaw blades are  
sharp and awkward to hold. Protect you  
hands with heavy gloves when handling  
blade.  
Figure 45. Blade cutting direction.  
7. When the blade is around both wheels,  
adjust the position so the back of the blade is  
against the shoulder of the wheels.  
5. Install the new blade through both blade  
guide bearings, as shown in Figure 44, and  
around the bottom wheel.  
8. Complete the blade change by following the  
steps in Blade Tension & Tracking.

Blade Tension &  
Tracking  
Blade Tension Guide  
Proper blade tension is essential to long blade  
life, straight cuts, and efficient cutting. The Model  
G0561 features a blade tension indicator to assist  
you with blade tensioning.  
Lower Hex Bolt  
Tracking Set Screw  
Two major signs that you do not have proper  
blade tension are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and  
slips on the wheels, and 2) the blade frequently  
breaks from being too tight.  
Figure 46. Blade tension guide.  
5. Relax the blade tension.  
NOTICE  
Loosen blade tension at the end of each day  
to prolong blade life.  
6. Adjust the set screw with a 4mm hex wrench  
shown in Figure 46, then tighten the hex bolt  
loosened in Step 4.  
To tension the blade on the bandsaw:  
—Tightening the set screw will move the  
blade closer to the shoulder of the wheel.  
1. Turn the blade tension handle clockwise to  
tension the blade.  
—Loosening the set screw will move the  
blade away from the shoulder.  
2. Tension the blade until the blade tension  
guide indicator is in the green zone (Figure  
46).  
7. Tension the blade.  
3. To fine tune blade tension, use a blade  
tensioning gauge, like the one found in  
SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 28.  
Please follow the instructions included with  
your gauge and the blade manufacturer's  
recommendations on blade tension.  
8. Reconnect the power and turn ON the  
bandsaw.  
—If the blade tracks along the shoulder of  
the wheel (without rubbing), the blade is  
tracking properly and this adjustment is  
completed.  
The blade tracking has been properly set at  
the factory. The tracking will rarely need to be  
adjusted if the bandsaw is used properly.  
—If the blade walks away from the shoulder  
of the wheel or hits the shoulder, repeat  
Steps 4-7 until the blade tracks properly.  
To adjust the blade tracking on the bandsaw:  
1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!  
9. Turn OFF the bandsaw.  
10. Replace the blade guard and wheel access  
2. Position the bandsaw in the vertical position.  
3. Open the wheel access cover.  
cover.  
4. Loosen, but do not remove the lower hex bolt  
in the blade wheel tilting mechanism (Figure  
46).

Squaring the Blade  
It is always a good idea during the life of your saw  
to check and adjust this setting. This adjustment  
will improve your cutting results and extend the  
life of your blade.  
Cap Screw  
To square the blade to the bed of the table:  
1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!  
2. Lower the head of the bandsaw all the way  
until it contacts the horizontal stop.  
Figure 47. Squaring the blade.  
3. Place a square on the table bed and against  
the edge of the blade (Figure 47), and check  
different points along the length of the table  
between the blade guides.  
4. Loosen the cap screw shown in Figure 47,  
and rotate the blade guide until the blade  
is vertical to the bed, then tighten the cap  
screw.  
Note: Both blade guides can be adjusted to  
achieve the results you want.

To adjust the blade guide bearings:  
Blade Guide  
Bearings  
1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!  
2. Raise the bandsaw to approximately 45° and  
close the feed rate ON/OFF valve.  
The blade guide bearings come adjusted from the  
factory and the need for adjustment should rarely  
occur. Uneven blade wear and crooked cuts  
may be the result of improper adjustment. Each  
bearing assembly has an eccentric bushing that  
allows the distance between the blade and bear-  
ings to be adjusted. The bearings are secured in  
place by a hex nut and a lock washer as shown  
in Figure 48.  
3. Loosen the hex nut that secures the eccentric  
bushing.  
4. Adjust the eccentric bushing position to  
achieve the desired clearance. The bearing  
and blade should make light contact or have  
a clearance of 0.001"-0.002".  
5. Tighten the nut to lock the eccentric bushing  
and bearing in position.  
Eccentric Bushing  
Hex Nut  
6. Adjust the other eccentric blade guide bear-  
ing in the same manner. The backing bear-  
ing is not adjustable and will make light con-  
tact with the blade.  
7. Adjust the carbide blade guides so they make  
the same contact with the blade as the bear-  
ings.
