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-  
gers or thumbs in line with the cut. Hands  
could be crushed in vise or from falling  
machine components.  
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.  
3. ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not  
operate this bandsaw without blade guard  
in place. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair  
and work gloves can be drawn into working  
parts.  
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.  
4. BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing  
blades, make sure teeth face toward the  
workpiece. Wear gloves to protect hands  
and safety glasses to protect eyes.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
6. LOSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported  
workpieces may jeopardize machine sta-  
bility and cause the machine to tip and fall  
which could cause serious injury.  
13. HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot sur-  
faces from machine components, ejec-  
tions of hot chips, swarf and workpiece  
can cause burns.  
7. POWERINTERRUPTION. Unplugmachine  
after power interruption. Machines without  
magnetic switches can start up after power  
is restored.  
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Like all  
machines there is danger associated with the Model G9743. Accidents are frequently caused by  
lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen  
the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious  
personal injury may occur.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS  
Wiring for 220V  
110/220V Operation  
The Model G9743 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 39.  
Serious personal injury could occur if you  
connect the machine to the power source  
before you have completed the set up pro-  
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the  
power source until instructed to do so.  
Plug Type  
The Model G9743 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 G9743 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...............................23 Amps  
Motor Draw at 220V ........................... 11.5 Amps  
Circuit Requirements  
We recommend connecting this machine to a  
dedicated circuit with a verified ground, using the  
circuit breaker size given below. Never replace a  
circuit breaker with one of higher amperage with-  
out consulting a qualified electrician to ensure  
compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure  
about the wiring codes in your area or you  
plan to connect your machine to a shared cir-  
cuit, you may create a fire hazard—consult a  
qualified electrician to reduce this risk.  
Figure 2. 6-15 plug and outlet.  
110V Circuit Breaker .............................25 Amps  
220V Circuit Breaker .............................15 Amps

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 10 gauge cord for 110V and 14  
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.

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, such as acetone or brake  
parts cleaner, as they may 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  
are suitable for your machine. Some residential  
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.  
56"  
1714  
"
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.  
Figure 4. Minimum G9743 working clearances.  
Unsupervised children and  
visitors inside your shop  
could cause serious per-  
sonal injury to themselves.  
Lock all entrances to the  
shop when you are away and  
DO NOT allow unsupervised  
children or visitors in your

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS  
Operation Safety  
Vise  
The vise on the Model G9743 has a positive lock-  
ing feature that improves productivity by open-  
ing the vise jaws just enough to slide material  
through.  
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could  
result from using this machine without  
proper protective gear. Always wear safety  
glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection  
when operating this machine.  
To use the positive lock:  
1. Raise the headstock above the workpiece  
and lock in place.  
2. Place the vise handle in the half open posi-  
tion (45°). See Figure 12.  
3. Place the workpiece between the jaws and  
turn the handwheel until the rear jaw makes  
contact with the workpiece.  
Loose hair and cloth-  
ing could get caught in  
machinery and cause seri-  
ous personal injury. Keep  
loose clothing and long  
hair away from moving  
machinery.  
4. Push the positive lock handle down to the  
lock position (0°). As you do this you will  
feel the handle tighten against the workpiece  
(see Figure 12).  
5. To loosen the workpiece, lift the vise handle  
to the fully open position (90°).  
6. Slide the stock to the workstop for your next  
cut. The vise position will not change as long  
as you don't change the position of the vise  
jaws with the handwheel.  
NOTICE  
If you have never used this type of machine  
or equipment before, WE STRONGLY REC-  
OMMEND that you read books, trade maga-  
zines, or get formal training before begin-  
ning any projects. Regardless of the con-  
tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will  
not be held liable for accidents caused by

To adjust the angle on the vise:  
Blade Speed  
1. Loosen the lock nut with a 34" hex wrench.  
The Model G9743 has these three blade speeds:  
148, 216, and 282 FPM.  
2. Use the scale as a guide to set your angle or  
use a machinist square to square the vise to  
the blade as shown in Figure 13.  
3. Tighten the lock nut.  
NOTICE  
DO NOT change speeds when the motor is  
running. Wait for the bandsaw to come to a  
complete stop or you will damage the gears  
and you will void your warranty.  
To change blade speeds:  
1. TURN THE BANDSAW OFF AND ALLOW IT  
TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.  
2. Determine the best speed for your cut. The  
table in Figure 15 is provided as a rough  
guideline. Material thickness, type of blade  
used and if cutting fluid is used, will factor  
into the correct speed selection. As a general  
rule, add 15% when using cutting fluid.  
Lock Nut

3. With the saw turned OFF, rotate the speed  
control knob to the desired position (see  
Figure 16).  
Cutting Fluid System  
This bandsaw has a built-in cutting fluid system  
that extends the life of your bandsaw blades  
by lowering the temperature of the blade and  
workpiece and washing away chips.  
See Cutting Fluid on Page 22 for more informa-  
tion.  
To use the cutting fluid system:  
1. Thoroughly clean and remove any foreign  
material that may have fallen inside the res-  
ervoir during shipping.  
2. Place the filter screen and drain tube in the  
reservoir as shown in Figure 17 .  
Figure 16. Speed control knob.  
3. Fill the reservoir to the "high" mark with your  
chosen cutting fluid solution.  
Blade Selection

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.

4. Adjust the valve on the coolant hose to  
control the flow of coolant (see Figure 18).  
Make sure that the pressure is not so high  
that coolant spills on the floor and creates a  
slipping hazard.  
Cutting Fluid  
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.  
Coolant Control Valve  
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.  
Fluid Nozzles  
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).

ing your cut.  
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.  
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!

Blade Guides  
Blade Guides  
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.  
To adjust the blade guides:  
Knob  
1. Loosen the knob shown in Figure 19 and  
slide the rear blade guide as close to the  
workpiece as possible, then tighten the  
knob.

Feed Rate  
Feed Rate Dial  
The speed at which the saw blade will cut through  
a workpiece is controlled by blade type, feed rate,  
and feed pressure.  
ON/OFF Valve  
Note: If a lubricant is used on the cut, the feed  
rate can be increased by approximately 15%.  
To set the feed rate:  
1. Raise the headstock to the maximum height  
to remove spring tension. Close the ON/OFF  
valve to lock the headstock in place.  
Figure 21. Feed rate dial.  
5. With the correct saw blade and blade speed  
selected, turn the saw and lubricant pump  
ON.  
2. Using a 14mm wrench, adjust the feed  
pressure tension spring. Tighten enough to  
remove play but not enough to apply tension  
to the spring (see Figure 20).  
6. Slowly rotate the feed rate dial clockwise to a  
slow feed rate until the saw begins to cut the  
workpiece (see Figure 21).  
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 (see Figure 22).  
Chips are width  
of tooth, thin and  
curled, and silvery:

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.  
Tips for horizontal cutting:  
Use the work stop to quickly and accurately  
cut multiple pieces of stock to the same  
length.  
Work Stop  
Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to  
ensure a straight cut through the material  
and use the positive lock to speed produc-  
tion.  
Figure 24. Proper starting position.  
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 24).  
Chips should be curled and silvery. If the  
chips are thin and powder like, increase your  
feed rate.  
Burned chips indicate a need to reduce your  
blade speed.  
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!  
Support long pieces so they won't fall when  
cut, and flag the end to alert passers-by of  
potential danger.  
Adjust the blade guides as close as possible  
to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side  
blade movement.  
Use coolant when possible to increase blade  
life.

4. Install the new blade through both blade  
guide bearings, as shown in Figure 35, and  
around the bottom wheel.  
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 headstock of the bandsaw to the  
highest position, close the Feed ON/OFF  
valve, and remove the wheel access cover.  
3. Remove the blade guards.  
Figure 35. Installing blade.  
4. Loosen the tension handle in Figure 34 and  
slip the blade off of the wheels.  
5. 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.  
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 36, after  
mounting on the bandsaw. Some blades will  
have a directional arrow as a guide.  
Tension Handle

6. When the blade is around both wheels,  
adjust the position so the back of the blade is  
against the shoulder of the wheels.

7. Tighten the tension handle as tight as  
necessary so the blade will not slip on the  
wheels during start up.

8. Put the gearbox in neutral by moving the gear  
change knob between two of the speed posi-  
tions.  
9. Spin the wheel by hand until the blade  
resumes the previous tracking.  
10. Put the gearbox back in gear.  
Lower Cap Screw  
—If the tracking needs to be adjusted, refer  
to the Tracking procedure in the next sec-  
tion.  
Figure 37. Adjusting tracking set screw.  
6. Relax the blade tension.  
—If the tracking is fine, proceed to Blade  
Tension on Page 34.  
7. Adjust the tracking set screw with a 4mm hex  
wrench as shown in Figure 37, then tighten  
the cap screw loosened in Step 4.  
Blade Tracking  
—Tightening the set screw will move the  
blade closer to the shoulder of the wheel.  
The blade tracking has been properly set at  
the factory. The tracking will rarely need to be  
adjusted if the bandsaw is used properly.  
—Loosening the set screw will move the  
blade away from the shoulder.  
8. Tension the blade.  
To adjust the blade tracking on the bandsaw:  
9. Put the gearbox in neutral by moving the  
gear change knob between two of the speed  
positions and spin the wheel by hand.  
1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!  
2. Raise the bandsaw to the highest position  
and close the feed rate ON/OFF valve.  
—If the blade tracks along the shoulder of  
the wheel (without rubbing), the blade is  
tracking properly and this adjustment is  
completed.  
3. Remove both blade guide assemblies.  
4. Open the wheel access cover.  
—If the blade drifts away from the shoulder  
of the wheel or hits the shoulder, repeat  
Steps 4-7.  
5. Loosen, but do not remove the lower cap  
screw in the blade wheel tilting mechanism  
(Figure 37).  
10. Replace the blade guard and blade guide  
assemblies.  
11. Adjust the blade guides as needed. Refer to  
Blade Guide Bearings on Page 35.

Blade Tension  
Squaring the Blade  
Proper blade tension is essential to long blade  
life, straight cuts, and efficient cutting. The Model  
G9743 features a blade tension indicator to assist  
you with blade tensioning.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
To tension the blade on the bandsaw:  
1. Make sure the blade is tracking properly.  
2. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!  
3. Place a square on the table bed and against  
the edge of the blade (Figure 38), and check  
different points along the length of the table  
between the blade guides.  
3. Slide the blade guides as far apart as they  
will go, then tighten them down again.  
4. Loosen the cap screw shown in Figure 38,  
and rotate the blade guide until the blade  
is vertical to the bed, then tighten the cap  
screws.  
4. Turn the tension handle clockwise to tighten  
the blade.  
5. Tighten the blade until the tension indicator  
moves into the green or center section of the  
indicator.  
Note: Both blade guides can be adjusted to  
achieve the results you want.  
6. To fine tune blade tension, use a blade  
tensioning gauge, like the one found in  
SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 26.  
Please follow the instructions included with  
your gauge and the blade manufacturer's  
recommendations on blade tension.

To adjust the blade guide bearings:  
Blade Guide  
Bearings  
1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!  
2. Raise the bandsaw to the highest position  
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 39.  
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.
