Additional Safety Instructions for Bandsaws
1. BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with
a dull, cracked, or badly worn blade. Dull
blades require more effort to use and are
difficult to control. Inspect blades for cracks
and missing teeth before each use.
2.HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers or thumbs in line with the cut. Serious
personal injury could occur.
7. BLADE SPEED. Allow blade to reach full
speed before cutting.
8. LEAVING WORK AREA. Never leave a
machine running while unattended. Allow
the bandsaw to come to a complete stop
before leaving unattended.
3. GUARDS. Do not operate this bandsaw
without the blade guard in place.
9.FEED RATE. Always feed stock evenly
and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist blade
while cutting, especially when sawing tight
curves.
4. BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing
blades, make sure the teeth face toward
the front of the saw and the blade is properly tensioned before operating.
10. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Do all inspections, adjustments, and maintenance with
the machine turned OFF and disconnected
from the power source.
5. WORKPIECE HANDLING. Never hold
small workpieces with your fingers when
cutting. Always support/feed the workpiece
with a push stick, table support, vise, or
some type of clamping fixture.
11. BLADE CONTROL. Do not attempt to
stop or slow the blade with your hand or
a workpiece. Allow the blade to stop on its
own.
6. CUTTING TECHNIQUES. Plan your cuts
carefully. DO NOT back the workpiece
away from the blade while the saw is running. 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.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. 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.

Cleanup
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avo i d
u sing t h e s e p r o d u c t s
to c l e a n m a c hin e r y.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative has been your machine's
close ally and guardian since it left the factory.
If your machine arrived to you free of rust, then
be thankful that the rust preventative protected
it during its journey...and try to stay thankful as
you clean it off, because it can be challenging to
remove if you are unprepared and impatient.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled.
Minimize your risk by only
using these products in a
well ventilated area.
Plan on spending some time cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this will
reward you with smooth sliding parts and a better
appreciation for the proper care of your machine's
unpainted surfaces.
Although there are many ways to successfully
remove the rust preventative, these instructions
walk you through what works well for us.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
•
Disposable Rags
•
Cleaner/degreaser (see below)
•
Safety glasses &amp; disposable gloves
H9692—Orange Power Cleaner &amp; Degreaser
One of the best cleaners we've found for quickly
and easily removing rust preventative.
Figure 3. Model H9692 Industrial Orange Power
Cleaner/Degreaser (99.9% biodegradable).
Note: In a pinch, automotive degreasers, mineral
spirits or WD•40 can be used to remove rust preventative. Before using these products, though,
test them on an unnoticeable area of your paint to
make sure they will not damage it.
Model G0621 (Mfg. since 10/06)
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may
damage painted surfaces. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses and disposable
gloves.
2.
Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative
with a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreaser and let them soak for few minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily.
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative on flat surfaces, such as tables, use
a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the
majority of the coating before wiping it off with
your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you
may scratch your machine.)
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.

Site Considerations
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
The physical environment where your machine
is operated is important for safe operation and
the longevity of its components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41&deg;–104&deg;F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for working clearances.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Dust Collection
This saw creates substantial amounts of fine
dust while operating. Failure to use a vacuum
system can result in respiratory illness.
Connect this machine to a shop vacuum rather
than a dust collector. Most dust collectors are not
designed to capture metal shavings and doing so
may lead to a fire. If you are in doubt about the
capabilities of your shop vacuum or dust collector,
refer the owner's manual before connecting it to
this machine.
Blade Tracking
&quot;Blade Tracking&quot; refers to how the blade rides on
the wheels. When tracking correctly, the blade
rides in the center of the rim part of the wheels.
Blade tracking is primarily controlled by adjusting the upper wheel tilt. Tracking the blade in
this manner is referred to as &quot;Center Tracking,&quot;
because you tilt the wheel until the blade rides in
the center.
To connect a vacuum hose:
Another way to track the blade is known as
&quot;Coplanar Tracking.&quot; Coplanar tracking involves
aligning the wheels so they are parallel and
aligned (see Wheel Alignment on Page 43).
When wheels are coplanar, vibration and heat are
reduced during operation.
1. Fit the 21⁄2&quot; dust hose over the dust port, as
shown in Figure 18, and secure in place with
a hose clamp.
The wheels on the Model G0621 are factory
aligned, so center tracking is the only adjustment
that needs to be performed during setup.
2.Tug the hose to make sure it is snug.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper performance.
To center track the blade:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Adjust the upper/lower blade guides and support bearings away from the blade.
3.Open the upper wheel cover.
4. Adjust the blade tension by matching the size
of the installed blade with the equivalent mark
on the blade tension scale (located on the
back of the bandsaw).
Figure 18. Dust hose attached to dust port.
3. Close stand door and fasten it shut with the
stand door knob.

5.Spin the upper wheel by hand at least three
times and watch how the blade rides on the
crown of the wheel. Refer to Figure 19 for an
illustration of this concept.
—If the blade rides on the peak of the upper
wheel crown, then the bandsaw is already
tracked properly and no additional adjustments are needed. Skip to Step 9.
—If the blade does not ride in the peak of the
upper wheel crown, then continue with the
next step.

Tensioning Blade
A properly tensioned blade is essential for making accurate cuts and is a prerequisite for making
many bandsaw adjustments. The blade tension is
adjusted by rotating the blade tension lever.
To tension the bandsaw blade:
1. Make sure you have performed the Test Run
instructions on the previous page and you are
certain that the blade is tracking properly.
2. With the blade tension lever in the down
(engaged) position, adjust the blade tension
until the mark on the blade tension scale
matches the size of blade installed on the
bandsaw.
Note: Because each blade is different and all
blades stretch, this scale can only be considered as a general guide.
Adjusting Support
Bearings
The support bearings are positioned behind the
blade to support it during cutting operations.
Proper adjustment of the support bearings is
an important part of making accurate cuts and
also keeps the blade teeth from hitting the blade
guides during cuts.
To adjust the support bearings:
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly
and that it is correctly tensioned.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Familiarize yourself with the support bearing
controls shown in Figure 20.
3.Turn the bandsaw ON.
Lock Bolt
4.Release the tension one quarter of a turn at a
time. When the bandsaw blade starts to flutter, stop decreasing the tension.
5.Now, slowly increase the tension until the
blade stops fluttering, then tighten the tension
one more quarter of a turn.
6.Turn the bandsaw OFF and read the tension
gauge. Use the reading as a guide when tensioning that blade in the future.
Note: Do not rely on this measurement for
long periods of time because the blade will
stretch with use.

Adjusting Positive
Stop
An adjustable positive stop allows the table to
easily return to 90˚ after tilting.
To set the positive stop 90˚ to the blade:
1. Make sure the blade is correctly tensioned as
described in the Tensioning Blade instructions on Page 20.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3.Loosen the two plastic knobs that secure the
table to the trunnions.
4.Loosen the hex nut that locks the positive
stop bolt in place.
5.Raise the upper blade guide assembly and
place a 6&quot; machinist’s square or try-square
on the table next to the side of the blade as
illustrated in Figure 27. Adjust the positive
stop bolt to raise or lower the table until the
table is 90˚ to the blade.

Aligning Table
Aligning Fence
To ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first
installed, the table should be aligned so the miter
slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. This procedure works best with a 3⁄4&quot; blade.
To ensure cutting accuracy, the fence must be
parallel with the miter slot.
To align the miter slot parallel to the bandsaw
blade:
1.If the fence is mounted on the left-hand side
of the blade, remove it and remount it on the
right-hand side of the blade.
1. Make sure the blade is tracking properly and
that it is correctly tensioned.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3.Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the
trunnions to the table.
4.Place an accurate straightedge along the
blade. The straightedge should lightly touch
both the front and back of the blade (the flat
part only) without touching the blade teeth.
5. Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between
the straightedge and the miter slot. The distance you measure should be the same at
both the front and back ends of the miter
slot.
6. Adjust the table as needed until the distance
between the blade and miter slot is equal at
both ends.
7.Tighten the trunnion bolts.

To align the fence parallel with the miter slot:
2. Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of
the miter slot.
3.Loosen the two cap screws that mount the
front rail to the table.
4. Place shims between the front rail and the
table as necessary to make the fence parallel
with the miter slot.
Note: Shim stock works well for this, but small
pieces of paper can also work in a pinch.
5. Tighten the front rail mounting bolts.
NOTICE
Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot
does not guarantee straight cuts. The miter
slot may need to be adjusted parallel to the
side of the blade. Refer to the Aligning Table
instructions.

Workpiece
Inspection (Wood)
Some wood workpieces are not safe to cut or may
require modification before they are safe to cut.
Before cutting wood, get in the habit of
inspecting all workpieces for the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks
and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects can
become dislodged and hit the operator or
break the blade, which might then fly apart.
Always visually inspect your workpiece for
these items. If they can't be removed, do
NOT cut the workpiece.
Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can
become dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots can cause blade damage.
Choose workpieces that do not have large/
loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting
through them.
Wet or &quot;Green&quot; Stock: Cutting wood with
a moisture content over 20% causes unnecessary wear on the blade and yields poor
results.
Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and can
move unpredictably when being cut. DO NOT
use workpieces with these characteristics!
Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cupping can be safely supported if the cupped
side faces the table or fence. On the contrary,
a workpiece supported on the bowed side will
rock during a cut, leading to loss of control.
Overview
The bandsaw is one of the most versatile wood
cutting tools in the shop. It is capable of performing the following types of cuts:
Straight Cuts
• Miters
• Angles
• Compound Angles
•Resawing
•Ripping
• Crosscutting
Irregular Cuts
•Simple and Complex Curves
•Duplicate Parts
• Circles
• Beveled Curves
Basic Cutting Tips
Follow these basic tips when operating the
bandsaw:
•
Keep the upper blade guide assembly adjusted to within 1&quot; of the workpiece.
•Replace, sharpen, and clean blades as necessary. Make adjustments periodically to
keep the saw running in top condition.
•
Use light and even pressure while cutting.
Light contact with the blade makes it easier
to follow lines and prevents extra friction.
•
Avoid twisting the blade when cutting around
tight corners. Allow the blade to saw around
the corners.
•
Misusing the saw or using incorrect techniques is unsafe and results in poor cuts.
Remember—the blade does the cutting with
the operator’s guidance.
•Never start a cut with the blade in contact
with the workpiece, and do not start a cut on
a sharp edge.

When cutting metal, pay attention to the characteristics of the chips when cutting—they
are good indicators of proper blade speed
and feed rate. Figure 30 shows the basic
chip characteristics and what they mean.
Chips are width of

Guide Post
The guide post (shown in Figure 31) connects
the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw.
The guidepost allows the blade guide assembly to
move up or down to be as close to the workpiece
as possible. In order to cut accurately and safely,
the bottom of the blade guide assembly must be
no more than 1&quot; from the workpiece at all times—
this positioning provides the greatest blade support and minimizes the amount of moving blade
exposed to the operator.

Ripping
Crosscutting
When cutting wood, &quot;Ripping&quot; means cutting with
the grain. For plywood or metal, ripping simply
means cutting down the length of the workpiece.
&quot;Crosscutting&quot; means cutting across the grain of
wood. For plywood or metal, crosscutting simply
means cutting across the width of the workpiece.
To make a rip cut:
To make a 90˚ crosscut:
1. Adjust the fence to match the width of the
cut on your workpiece, then lock the fence in
place.
1. Mark the workpiece on the edge where you
want to begin the cut.
2. Adjust the blade guide assembly to less than
1&quot; away from the workpiece.
3. After all safety precautions have been met,
turn the bandsaw ON. Slowly feed the
workpiece into the blade and continue with
the cut until the blade is completely through
the workpiece. Figure 32 shows a typical ripping operation.
Note: If you cut narrow pieces, use a push
stick to protect your fingers.
2. Adjust the blade guide assembly to to less
than 1&quot; away from the workpiece and make
sure the miter gauge is set to 90&deg;.
3. Move the fence out of the way. Place the
workpiece evenly against the miter gauge.
4.Hold the workpiece against the miter gauge
and align the mark with the blade.
5. After all safety precautions have been met,
turn the bandsaw ON. Slowly feed the
workpiece into the blade and continue the
cut until the blade is all the way through the
workpiece. Figure 33 shows a typical crosscutting operation.
Figure 32. Typical ripping operation.
Figure 33. Typical crosscutting operation.
NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of
cut. If you slip, your hands or fingers may
go into the blade. ALWAYS use a push stick
when ripping narrow pieces. Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious
personal injury!
-28-
Model G0621 (Mfg. since 10/06)
Resawing
&quot;Resawing&quot; (Figure 34) means cutting the
workpiece into two or more thinner workpieces.
One of the most important considerations for
resawing is blade selection—a wide blade cuts
straighter and is less prone to blade lead (see
Page 42 for more info on blade lead).
For most applications, use a blade with a hook or
a skip tooth style. Choose blades with fewer teethper-inch (from 3 to 6), because they offer larger
gullet capacities for clearing sawdust, reducing
heat buildup and reducing strain on the motor.
To resaw a workpiece:
1. Verify that the bandsaw is setup properly and
that the table is perpendicular to the blade.
2. Use the widest blade your bandsaw will
accept. Note: The blade must also be sharp
and clean.
3. Adjust the fence to the desired width of cut,
and lock it in place.
NOTICE
The scale on the front rail will NOT be accurate when using the resaw fence.
4.Support the ends of the board if necessary.
5.Turn the bandsaw ON.
6. Using push paddles and a push stick, maintain workpiece pressure against the fence
and table, and slowly feed the workpiece into
the moving blade until the blade is completely
through the workpiece (see Figure 34).
Figure 34. Typical resawing operation.
When resawing thin pieces, a wandering
blade (blade lead) can tear through the side
of the workpiece, exposing your hands to
the blade teeth. Always use push blocks
when resawing and keep your hands clear
of the blade.
Model G0621 (Mfg. since 10/06)
-29-
Cutting Curves
Stacked Cuts
When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and
turn the stock carefully so the blade follows the
layout line without twisting. If a curve is so abrupt
that it is necessary to repeatedly back up and cut
a new kerf, use a narrower blade, a blade with
more TPI (teeth per inch), or make more relief
cuts.
One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to
cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stacking workpieces together and cutting them as one.
Before making stacked cuts, ensure that both the
table and the blade are properly adjusted to 90&deg;;
otherwise, any error will be compounded.
Relief cuts are made through the waste portion of
the workpiece and stop at the layout line. Relief
cuts reduce the chance that the blade will be
pinched or twisted during the cut.
The list below shows the minimum radius
that can be cut by common blade widths.
Width
Radius

5
⁄8''..................................... 33⁄4''
3
⁄4''..................................... 51⁄2''
Figure 35. Blade width radii.
To complete a stacked cut:
1. Align your pieces from top-to-bottom to
ensure that each piece has adequate scrap
to provide a clean, unhampered cut.
2.Secure all the pieces together in a manner
that will not interfere with the cutting. For
wood, hot glue on the edges works well, as
do brad nails through the waste portion. (Be
careful not to cut into the brads or you may
break the blade!)
3.On the face of the top piece, mark the shape
you intend to cut.
4. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the outline of your intended shape in areas where
changes in blade direction could cause the
blade to bind.
5. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were

Blade Selection
(Wood Cutting)
Selecting the right blade for the cut requires a
knowledge of various blade characteristics.
Tooth Style
When selecting blades, another option to consider is the shape, gullet size, teeth set and teeth
angle—otherwise known as “Tooth Style.&quot;
Figure 37 illustrates the three main categories of
tooth style:
Blade Length
Measured by the circumference, blade lengths
are usually unique to the brand of your bandsaw
and the distance between wheels. The Model
G0621 uses 108&quot; long blades. Refer to Page 36
for blade replacements.
Raker
Skip
Hook
Blade Width
Measured from 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. Blade width dictates the largest and smallest
curve that can be cut, as well as how accurately it
can cut a straight line.
The Model G0621 uses blades from 1⁄ 8&quot; to 1&quot; in
width. Always pick the size of blade that best suits
your application.
•
Curve Cutting: Use the chart in Figure 35 to
determine the correct blade for curve cutting.
Determine the smallest radius curve that will
be cut on your workpiece and use the corresponding blade width.
•
Straight Cutting: Use the largest width
blade that you own. Narrow blades can cut
tight curves (a small radius) but are not very
good at cutting straight lines because they
naturally wander (blade lead). Large blades
excel at cutting straight lines and are less
prone to wander.
Model G0621 (Mfg. since 10/06)
Figure 37. Raker, Skip &amp; Hook tooth styles.
•
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 usually are very numerous,
have no angle, and produce cuts by scraping the material; these characteristics result
in very smooth cuts, but do not cut fast and
generate more heat than other types while
cutting.
•
Skip: This style is similar to 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 therefore,
cut faster and generate less heat. However,
these blades also leave a rougher cut than
raker blades.
•
Hook: The teeth on this style have a positive angle (downward) which makes them
dig into the material, and the gullets are usually rounded for easier waste removal. These
blades are excellent for the tough demands
of resawing and ripping thick material.
-31-
Tooth Pitch
Usually measured as TPI (teeth per inch), tooth
pitch determines the size/number of the teeth.
More teeth 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
teeth in the material at all times. Use fine pitched
blades on harder woods and coarse pitched
blades on softer woods.
Blade Care
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.
A clean blade will perform much better than a dirty
blade. Dirty or gummed up blades pass through
the cutting material with much more resistance
than clean blades. This extra resistance also
causes unnecessary heat. Grizzly sells resin/pitch
dissolving cleaners that are excellent for cleaning
dirty blades.
The most common causes of blade breakage
are:
•
Faulty alignment/adjustment of the guides.
•
Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a
short radius.
•
Feeding the workpiece too fast.
•Dull teeth or damaged tooth sufficient set.
•Overtensioned blade.
•Top blade guide assembly set too high above
the workpiece.
•
Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld.
•
Continuously running the bandsaw when not
in use.
•Leaving blade tensioned when not in use.
•
Using the wrong TPI for the workpiece thickness. (The general rule of thumb is 3 teeth in
the workpiece at all times.)
Blade Breakage
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 must endure. Blade
breakage is also due to avoidable circumstances.
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.

Blade Selection
(Metal Cutting)
2.Refer to the &quot;Material Width/Diameter&quot; row
of the blade selection chart in Figure 38 and
read across to find the workpiece thickness
you need to cut.
3.Refer to the &quot;Material Shapes&quot; row and find
the shape and material to be cut.
Selecting the right blade for the job depends on
a variety of factors, such as the type of material
being cut, hardness of the material, material shape
machine capability, and operator technique.
4.In the applicable row, read across to the right
and find the box where the row and column
intersect. Listed in the box is the minimum
TPI recommended for the variable tooth pitch
blades.
The chart below is a basic starting point for choosing blade type based on teeth per inch (TPI) for
variable tooth pitch blades and for standard raker
type bi-metal blades/HSS blades. However, for
exact specifications of bandsaw blades, contact
the blade manufacturer.
5.The &quot;Cutting Speed Rate Recommendation&quot;
section of the charts offers guidelines for various metals, given in feet per minute (speed
FPM) and meters per minute in parenthesis.
Choose the speed closest to the number
shown in the chart.
To select the correct blade TPI:
1. Measure the material thickness. This measurement is the length of cut taken from
where the tooth enters the workpiece, sweeps
through, and exits the workpiece.

Blade Changes
9.Turn the tension knob until proper blade tension has been reached according to the blade
thickness scale shown in Figure 39.
Always disconnect power
to the machine when
changing blades. Failure
to do this may result in
serious personal injury.
All saw blades are dangerous and may cause
personal injury. To reduce
the risk of being injured,
wear leather gloves when
handling saw blades.

Model G0621 (Mfg. since 10/06)
Scale Calibration
You may need to recalibrate the fence scale after
changing or adjusting the blade, or if the scale
is not producing accurate cuts. Recalibrate the
fence scale by adjusting the hairline indicator on
the fence and testing your adjustment by cutting
a piece of scrap wood.
4.If the reading on the scale is not the same
as the width of the cut workpiece, loosen the
screws on the magnifying window (Figure
40) and adjust it to match the width of the cut
workpiece.
5.Tighten the screws; the scale is now correctly
calibrated.
To calibrate the scale:
1.Set the fence anywhere along the scale and
locate a piece of scrap wood with at least one
straight edge. Joint the edge with a jointer (if
needed) to make the edge straight.
2.Hold the straight edge of the workpiece firmly
against the fence, and feed the workpiece
through the saw blade with a push stick.
3. Measure the width of the cut workpiece. The
width of the workpiece should match the
reading on the fence scale.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Lubricating
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious personal injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule:
Daily
•
Check/correct loose mounting bolts.
•
Check/correct damaged saw blade.
•
Check/correct worn or damaged wires.
•
Correct any other unsafe condition.
Monthly
•
Check for V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
•Remove blade and thoroughly clean all builtup sawdust from the rubber tires on the
wheels.
•
Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and off motor.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep tables
rust-free with regular applications of general lubricants such as G96&reg; Gun Treatment, SLIPIT&reg;, or
Boeshield &reg; T-9.
If the table becomes difficult to tilt, remove it and
lubricate the trunnions and the slides in the trunnion base with a general lubricant.
Redressing Rubber
Tires
As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires on the
wheels may need to be redressed if they harden or
glaze over. Redressing the rubber tires improves
blade tracking and reduces vibration/blade lead.
If the rubber tires become too worn, then blade
tracking will become extremely difficult. At that
point, redressing will no longer be effective and
the rubber tires must be replaced.
To redress the rubber tires:
1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.Put on heavy leather gloves.
Cleaning
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it.
Once a month, remove the blade and thoroughly
clean all built-up sawdust from the rubber tires on
the wheels.
Model G0621 (Mfg. since 10/06)
3.Remove the blade.
4. Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber
tires.
5.Hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rubber tire and rotate the wheel by hand. Only
redress the rubber enough to expose a fresh
rubber surface.

Servicing V-Belts
To ensure optimum power transfer from the motor
to the blade, the V-belts must be in good condition and operate under proper tension. Check belt
tension at least every 3 months—more often if the
bandsaw is used daily. V-belts stretch with use
and must be periodically re-tensioned.
Replace the V-belts if they are cracked, frayed, or
excessively worn.
Checking V-Belts
1. Follow all previous instructions for Accessing
V-Belts.
2.Push the center of each V-belt as illustrated
in Figure 44, using moderate force. When
tensioned correctly, the deflection should be
about 1⁄4&quot;.
—If the deflection is more than 1⁄4&quot;, then tension that V-belt (see Page 41) before doing

Shimming Table
Blade Lead
To ensure accuracy when cutting stacked
workpieces, the table should be 90˚ to the back of
the blade as shown in Figure 47. If the table is not
perpendicular to the back of the blade, the table
needs to be shimmed.
&quot;Blade Lead&quot; means that the blade does not cut
straight when using the fence or miter gauge (see
Figure 48). This is a common condition with all
bandsaws. Worn or damaged blades may cause
lead and replacing them will fix the problem. Still, if
your bandsaw is setup correctly and lead occurs,
compensate for it by skewing the fence.
Shims can be made of any durable object that
can be sandwiched between the table and the
trunnions. We recommend using shim washers or
shim stock because of the wide range of available
thicknesses. These items can be purchased at
your local hardware store.
Figure 48. Blade leading away from line of cut.
Figure 47. Squaring table to blade back.
To shim the table:
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly
and that it is correctly tensioned.
To correct blade lead, do the following steps
and make a test cut before skewing the
fence:
1. Ensure that you have proper blade tension
(refer to Page 20).
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that the blade guides are adjusted
correctly (refer to Pages 20 &amp; 22).
3.Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the
trunnions to the table.
3. Ensure that the miter slot or fence is parallel
to the blade (refer to Page 24).
4.Place shim stock between the table and the
two trunnions to shim the table in the desired
direction.
To skew your fence:
Note: Another way to shim the table is to add
washers between the table and the trunnion.
5. Follow the Aligning Table instructions on
Page 24 to complete this procedure.

1. Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately 3⁄4&quot;
thick x 3&quot; wide x 17&quot; long. On a wide face of
the board, draw a straight line parallel to the
long edge.
2.Slide the fence out of the way and cut freehand along the line. Stop at the halfway point.
Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade
to stop.
Model G0621 (Mfg. since 10/06)
3. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table without moving it. Now slide the fence over to
the board so it barely touches one end of the
board.
Wheel Alignment
5. Place shims between the front rail and the
table as necessary to make the fence parallel
to the edge of the scrap piece.
Wheel alignment, or &quot;Coplanar Tracking,&quot; is one
of the easiest ways to ensure you get optimal performance from your bandsaw. When wheels are
aligned, or coplanar, the bandsaw cuts straighter.
Vibration, heat, and blade wear are also considerably decreased because the blade is automatically balanced on the wheel.
Note: Shim stock works well for this, but small
pieces of paper can also work in a pinch.
Verifying Upper/Lower Wheels are
Coplanar
4.Loosen the two cap screws that mount the
front rail to the table.
To compensate for lead when making straight
crosscuts with the miter gauge, you will need
to shift the table:
1. Set the miter gauge to 90&deg; and verify that the
gauge body is square to the miter bar, using
a 90&deg; square.
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. With the blade on and properly tensioned,
hold a straightedge close to the center of
both wheels. Make sure the straightedge
fully extends across the wheels as shown in
Figure 49.
2.On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that
is perpendicular to the front edge of the
workpiece.
3.Starting where the line begins, cut the board
by pushing it through the blade with the miter
gauge.
4.Loosen the table mounting bolts, and shift the
table to compensate for the blade lead.
5.Repeat Steps 1 &amp; 2 until the blade cuts
straight when wood is pushed through with
the miter gauge.
NOTICE
If the table is shifted, the fence will be
affected since it is attached.
NOTICE
Lead adjustments will change when new
blades are mounted on the saw.
Model G0621 (Mfg. since 10/06)
Figure 49. Checking wheel alignment with a
straightedge.
—If the wheels are coplanar, the straightedge
wil touch the top and bottom of the outside
rims on each wheel.
—If the wheels are not coplanar, place
the straightedge on the lower wheel first
(ensuring that it touches both the top and
bottom rim), then adjust the tracking knob
to see how the upper wheel lines up with
the straightedge.
-43-
—If the straightedge does not touch both
wheels evenly, the upper wheel needs to
be shimmed or the lower wheel needs to
be adjusted.
Shimming Upper Wheel
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Adjust the tracking knob so the top wheel is
parallel with the bottom wheel.
3. With the straightedge touching both points of
the wheel that does not need to be adjusted,
measure the distance away from the incorrect wheel with a fine ruler (see Figure 50).
The distance measured with the ruler is the
distance the wheel must be corrected.
Figure 51. Coplanar diagram.
Adjusting Lower Wheel
Only do this procedure if you cannot make the
wheels coplaner with the tracking knob or by
shimming the upper wheel. Make sure the upper
wheel is adjusted as close as possible to being
coplanar with the lower wheel before beginning.
Do this procedure with the blade fully tensioned.
To adjust the lower wheel:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
Figure 50. Measuring wheel difference.
2.Loosen the four hex bolts on the lower wheel
adjustment hub (Figure 52). These secure
the wheel adjustment sleeves.
4.Remove the blade from the saw, then remove
the wheel that needs to be shimmed.
Hex Bolt
5.Determine how many shim washers you
need and place them on the wheel shaft.

Adjustment
Sleeve
6.Replace the wheel, the original washers, and
the securing nut.
7.Tighten the blade, then check the wheels.
(Coplanar wheels may pull out of alignment
when the blade is tightened.)
8. When the wheels are coplanar, place a mark
on each wheel where you held the straightedge. This assures repeated accuracy every
time you adjust your wheels.
-44-
Note: When wheels are properly coplanar,
the blade may not be centered on the crown
of the wheel, but it will be balanced. See
Figure 51 to better understand coplanarity.
Figure 52. Wheel adjustment hub.
3.Rotate the wheel adjustment sleeves to move
the lower wheel as necessary to make it
coplaner with the upper wheel.
4.Tighten the hex bolts to secure the wheel
adjustment sleeves in position.
