Additional Safety Instructions for Hydraulics4. STOP THE MACHINE IF YOU NOTICE A
HYDRAULIC LEAK. Allowing themachine to continue running with a leakmay increase the hazard of the situation.
5. DEPRESSURIZE THE HYDRAULICSYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING TOADJUST ANY HYDRAULIC LINES ORFITTINGS. Stop the resaw, open the con-veyor speed valves, and make sure thepressure gauge reads 0 PSI.
6. DEPRESSURIZE THE HYDRAULICSYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYMAINTENANCE OR SERVICE. Stop theresaw, open the conveyor speed valves,and make sure the pressure gauge reads0 PSI.
7. REGULARLY INSPECT AND PER-FORM THE PROPER MAINTENANCEON THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. A well-maintained hydraulic system will havemuch fewer problems and hazards than aneglected system.
8. MAKE SURE ANY HYDRAULIC SYS-TEM MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMEDIN A CLEAN AND DUST-FREE WORKAREA. Remove any sawdust, grime orwater from hydraulic system openings orcomponents before maintenance. Alwaysuse lint-free rags when wiping compo-nents.
9. ONLY USE HIGH PRESSUREHYDRAULIC HOSE AND STEELHYDRAULIC FITTINGS WHENREPLACING COMPONENTS IN THEHYDRAULIC SYSTEM. DO NOT usebrass or aluminum.
1. BE FAMILIAR WITH THE HAZARDS OFHYDRAULIC INJECTION INJURIES.
• Leaking hydraulic fluid may haveenough pressure to penetrate skin.Never use your hands to check forsuspected hydraulic leaks.
• Hydraulic fluid that is injected intoskin is a medical emergency thatmay cause infection, disability,amputation or death.
• The average injection injury maybe a small wound that has barelybroken the skin. DO NOT befooled by this type of injury.Immediately get to an emergencymedical facility!
• Minimizing the time between theinjury and when the injected mate-rial is removed is critical to mini-mizing the seriousness of theinjury.
2. USE A PIECE OF CARDBOARD TOCHECK FOR SUSPECTED HYDRAULICLEAKS. Pressurized hydraulic fluid maycause injection injuries and can beextremely hot. Never use your hands tocheck for suspected hydraulic leaks.
3. PROTECT YOUR EYES AROUNDHYDRAULIC SYSTEMS. Safety glassesmay not always protect your eyes fromhot, pressurized fluid. The best way toprotect yourself is to stay away from leaksuntil you can depressurize the system.

2. Working Clearances: Consider existing andanticipated needs, size of material to beprocessed through each machine, andspace for auxiliary stands, work tables orother machinery when establishing a loca-tion for your bandsaw.
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should bebright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should bededicated or large enough to handle amper-age requirements. Outlets should be locatednear each machine so power or extensioncords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observelocal electrical codes for proper installationof new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Unsupervised children andvisitors inside your shopcould cause serious person-al injury to themselves. Lockall entrances to the shopwhen you are away and DONOT allow unsupervisedchildren or visitors in yourshop at any time!
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxyoil to protect them from corrosion during ship-ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such asGrizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,some parts may need to be removed. For opti-mum performance from your machine, makesure you clean all moving parts or slidingcontact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-rine-based solvents as they may damage paintedsurfaces should they come in contact. Always fol-low the manufacturer’s instructions when usingany type of cleaning product.
Gasoline and petroleumproducts have low flashpoints and could causean explosion or fire ifused to cleanmachinery. DO NOT usegasoline or petroleumproducts to clean themachinery.
Smoking near solventscould ignite an explosionor fire and cause seriousinjury. DO NOT smokewhile using solvents.
Many of the solventscommonly used to cleanmachinery can be toxicwhen inhaled or ingest-ed. Lack of ventilationwhile using these sol-vents could cause seri-ous personal health risksor fire. Take precautionsfrom this hazard by onlyusing cleaning solventsin a well ventilated area.

8. Make sure the workpiece has two sides thatare relatively flat and parallel with eachother.
9. Begin feeding the workpiece under the frontpressure rollers with the jointed edge againstthe guide rollers, as shown in Figure 26.
The blade memory function is used when youwant to make resaw cuts thinner than 1⁄4".Because the blade cannot be adjusted closerthan 1⁄4" to the table, resaw cuts thinner than 1⁄4"need to be cut from the top side of the workpiece.
The blade memory function allows the blade to belowered a pre-determined distance each time youpress the MEMORY button; therefore, you canmake a series of cuts from the top side of theworkpiece, all of the same thickness. Note—Besure to add the thickness of the blade, otherwiseknown as kerf, to the desired thickness of the cut-off pieces when setting the memory function. Forexample, if you want your cut-off pieces to be 1"thick and the kerf of the blade is 0.06", the mem-ory function needs to be set to 1.06".
To set the memory function:
1. Turn the control panel POWER ON switchclockwise to supply power to the controlpanel.
2. Press the FUNC key.
3. Enter the distance, to the nearest hun-dredth's place, that you want the blade tolower each time you press the MEMORY but-ton. For example, if you want the blade tolower 2.06", press 2, 0, 6 on the key pad. Ifyou want the blade to lower 0.56", press 5, 6.

Blade Information
Blade choices are limited due to the specializednature of the Model G0504. The only variableswhen selecting a blade are the type of cuttingtooth and the number of teeth-per-inch (ToothPitch).
Blade Tooth TypeCarbon Steel—The least expensive type, carbonsteel blades are adequate for most cutting appli-cations; however, they dull quickly and for eco-nomical reasons they are usually replaced ratherthan resharpened.
Carbide-Tipped—The most expensive type, car-bide-tipped blades are designed for continuoususe in production shop situations. They hold asharp edge longer than carbon steel and they canbe resharpened many times before needing to bereplaced.
Tooth PitchTooth pitch refers to the number of teeth-per-inch. The more teeth-per-inch, the smoother theresulting cut, but the feed rate must be relativelyslow. The less teeth-per-inch, the rougher theresulting cut, but the feed rate can be set faster.Some trial and error may be necessary to find theright combination of cut quality, tooth pitch andfeed rate.
Blade LengthThe required blade length for the Model G0504 is180".
Blade WidthThe required blade width for the Model G0504 is1".
10. Watch the load meter (Figure 27) at the topof the control panel. The meter displays theamperage load that is being placed on themachine. Adjust the infeed conveyor feedrate until the meter reads between 25-30Amps during the cutting operation.
11. Receive the workpiece on the outfeed side ofthe machine. Note—If a second person isreceiving the workpieces, use the return con-veyor to send them back to the person on theinfeed side.

Blade CareThe resaw blade is a delicate piece of steel thatis subjected to tremendous strain. You can obtainlonger use from the blade if you give it fair treat-ment and always use the appropriate feed ratefor your operation.
A clean blade will perform much better than adirty blade. A dirty blade passes through the cut-ting material with much more resistance than aclean blade. This extra resistance will also causeunnecessary heat. Maintain your blades with acutting blade lubricant like SLIPIT® (ModelG5562/3 in the Grizzly Catalog).
Blade BreakageBlade breakage is unavoidable, in some cases,since it is the natural result of the peculiar stress-es placed on the blade. Blade breakage is alsodue to avoidable circumstances, which is mostoften the result of poor care or judgement on thepart of the operator when mounting or adjustingthe blade or support guides.
The most common causes of blade breakageare:
• Not releasing blade tension after use.• Faulty alignment or adjustment of the guides.• Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly fin-
ished braze or weld.• Feeding the workpiece too fast.• Tooth dullness or absence of sufficient set.• Excessive or too little blade tension.• Running the bandsaw excessively when not
resawing.
G0504 16" Horizontal Resaw Bandsaw -31-
To ensure optimum power transmission from themotor to the blade and to the hydraulic pump, theV-belts must be in good condition (free fromcracks, fraying and wear) and operate underproper tension. Check the V-belts at least every 3months; more often if the bandsaw is used daily.
See Section 8: Service Adjustments for instruc-tions on properly tensioning the belts or forreplacing the belts, if needed.
Inside Wheel CoverTo keep the bandsaw working properly, regularlyopen the wheel cover and vacuum any sawdustfrom the machine that did not make it into thedust collector.
Conveyor BeltsUse compressed air to clean the built-up sawdustfrom the conveyor belts. Eye injuries frequentlyoccur when cleaning with compressed air—wearsafety glasses to protect yourself! Also wear adust mask or respirator to protect your lungs fromairborne dust particles.
Elevation ColumnsUse a dry rag to remove sawdust from the eleva-tion columns and wipe the them down with a lightcoat of oil.
Painted SurfacesThese areas may be cleaned with a dry or damprag; however, make sure you DO NOT clean baremetal surfaces with a damp rag or they may rust.
Always be aware of the condition of yourmachine. Routinely check the condition of the fol-lowing items and repair or replace as necessary:

Check the hydraulic fluid level daily.The hydraulic system controls the movement ofthe conveyor belts. In order for this system tofunction properly and operate at the correct tem-perature, the hydraulic fluid level in the tankshould be 2⁄3 full between the fill lines on the fluidsight window, which is located on the front of thetank (see Figure 28). Note—As long as the fluidlevel is between the hi and low marks, it is okay.
To add hydraulic fluid, remove the breather capshown in Figure 28. Use an ISO VG 10—Antiwear 10 Hydraulic Fluid or equivalent.
The hydraulic system minor service consists ofchanging the fluid filter, cleaning the breather capand filler screen, and inspecting the hydraulicfluid for signs of thermal breakdown, dust conta-mination, and water contamination.
Perform a “Minor Service” every 960 hours orevery 6 months of regular use.
Figure 29. Hydraulic lines and fitting removedfrom above the filter cap.
To change the filter:
1. Read and understand the hydraulic safetyinstructions on page 6 before continuing!
2. Disconnect the two hydraulic lines that areover the filter cap and remove the pipe fittingso there is clear access directly over the filtercap, as shown in Figure 29.
Inspect and clean the breather cap and fillerscreen every 40 hours of regular use.
The breather cap is vented to allow the hydraulicsystem to breathe during operation. Below thebreather cap is a plastic filler screen.
Visually inspect both the breather cap and theplastic filler screen. If there is visual contamina-tion, clean both items with solvent and com-pressed air. Allow them to completely dry beforeinstalling back in the tank.
The hydraulic system on this machine cre-ates very high pressure and the hydraulicfluid gets hot. Always stop the resaw, openthe conveyor speed valves, make sure thepressure gauge reads 0 PSI, and make surethe fluid cools down before removing anylines or servicing the hydraulic system.

12. Place the filter cap on the spring so theprongs fit in the center of the spring, andpush down and twist the cap into place.
13. Tighten the filter cap bolts in an even man-ner, replace the fitting, and reconnect thehydraulic lines.
To inspect the hydraulic fluid:
1. Look at the color of the hydraulic fluid in thesight window.
— If the fluid is milky in appearance, then thehydraulic fluid is contaminated with water.Repair leaks or fix the source of the prob-lem and perform a major service.
— If the fluid is dark brown or opaque, thenthe hydraulic fluid is severely contaminat-ed or thermal breakdown has occurred.Correct the source of the contaminationor which component is causing thermalbreakdown, and perform a major service.
2. Smell the hydraulic fluid (remove breathercap).
— If the fluid smells rancid or burnt, thenthermal breakdown has most likelyoccurred. Correct the component that iscausing thermal breakdown and performa major service.

Adjusting V-BeltTension
Properly tensioned V-belts help the Model G0504operate at its best. However, adjusting the V-belts is not an exact science and does requirepersonal judgement. Adjusting the belts too loosewill decrease the performance of the machineand adjusting the belts too tight may cause pre-mature wear of the bearings and other compo-nents attached to the belts.
On the Model G0504 there is a triple-drive V-beltsystem that connects the motor to the wheel pul-ley and a single-drive V-belt system that connectsthe wheel pulley to the hydraulic pump.
On both systems, the belts should deflect nomore than 1⁄2" and not less than 1⁄4" when press-ing the center of the pulleys with your index finger(see Figure 35).
Figure 35. Checking V-belt tension.
3. To tension the three V-belts that connect themotor to the wheel pulley, adjust the tensionby moving the motor mount nuts (see Figure37) up or down until the belts are in the prop-er deflection range. Note—The belts tightenwhen you move the motor mount up.
To adjust the V-belt tension for the sawwheels:
1. Disconnect the resaw from the powersource!
2. Remove the four attachment bolts shown inFigure 36, and remove the large pulleyguard from the machine.
To adjust the tension for the hydraulic pumpV-belt:

The main conveyor table height can be adjustedleft-to-right and front-to-back to make the tableparallel to the blade in both directions. This is aninvolved procedure that requires you to cut up apiece of test stock and make many repeat adjust-ments. Because of the complexity of this proce-dure, we will first give instructions on checkingthe table, so that you can be sure you need toperform the adjustment.
Before attempting these procedures, you need tohave a perfectly squared up piece of stock that isas wide as possible and is at least two feet long.The wider the stock, the more accurate your pro-cedure will be (we recommend using the maxi-mum width that the resaw will allow). Also, youneed to make sure that your blade is in good con-dition, the blade is tracked/tensioned properlyand the blade guides are properly adjusted.
To check the main conveyor table alignment:
1. Cut a 1⁄4" slice off of your squared-up teststock.
2. Using a dial caliper, measure the thicknessof the cut piece at all four corners and ineven locations along the edges of the stock.As you take these measurements, write themdirectly on the stock, near the location whereyou took the measurement (see Figure 39).
Adjusting MainConveyor Table
G0504 16" Horizontal Resaw Bandsaw -41-
3. Study the written measurements on your testpiece. Note—DO NOT place too muchimportance on the first and last six inches ofthe board, because the board will only havebeen under one pressure roller during thatpart of the cut.
— If the measurements are more than0.030" different from one side to the other,you should adjust the conveyor table.
To adjust the conveyor table:
1. Disconnect the resaw from the powersource!
2. Use your test board to determine whichdirection the conveyor table needs to bemoved. For example, if the right side of theboard was thicker than the left side—you willneed to move either the right side of the con-veyor up or move the left side of the convey-or down.
3. Adjust the four adjustment bolts that controlthe conveyor table height as determinedfrom step 2. Note—For adjustment bolt loca-tions see the adjustment bolt shown inFigure 40.
Figure 40. Conveyor table adjustment bolts (1 of 4 shown).
4. Tighten the lock nuts on the adjustmentbolts, connect the resaw to the power, andrepeat the checking and adjusting steps untilthe measurements on your cut piece arewithin 0.030".
Tracking Conveyors
“Tracking” the conveyor belts means balancingthe way they ride on the end rollers. The convey-ors are tracking correctly when they are centeredbetween the roller brackets on each side of theconveyor. If the conveyor belts start rubbingagainst the roller brackets, then you need to trackthem as described.
To set the conveyor tracking:
1. Loosen the two roller bracket cap screws(shown in Figure 41) about 3⁄4 of a turn. Dothis on the both sides of the conveyor.
2. Loosen the rear adjustment nuts away fromthe bracket plates on both sides of the con-veyor.
3. Start the conveyor belt.
4. On the side that the belt tracks toward, turnthe front adjustment nut counter-clockwisehalf of a turn, and watch the belt tracking.Note—The effect of the adjustment cansometimes take two minutes before theresults are fully apparent.
— If the tracking was not corrected by thisadjustment, proceed to step 5. If thetracking was corrected, skip to step 6.

5. On the side that the belt tracks away from,turn the front adjustment nut clockwise half ofa turn, and watch the belt tracking.
— If the tracking was not corrected by thisadjustment, repeat step 4.
6. When the conveyor belt is tracking in thecenter of the roller brackets, run the convey-or for at least two minutes to ensure that itwill remain tracking correctly.
7. Tighten the rear adjustment nuts against thebracket plates, then tighten the front adjust-ment nuts against the bracket plates to makesure that the tracking adjustment will notslowly change during normal operation.
Replacing Conveyors
Although the conveyor belts have slight differ-ences in size and access, the replacementinstructions are the same.
To replace the conveyor belts:
1. Start the conveyor belt that you want toreplace.
2. Stop the conveyor belt when the conveyorbelt seam (see Figure 42) is accessible.
Figure 42. Conveyor belt seam.
G0504 16" Horizontal Resaw Bandsaw -43-
3. Disconnect the resaw from the powersource!
4. Loosen the roller bracket (see Figure 43) byturning the roller bracket cap screws 3⁄4 of aturn.

5. Loosen the rear adjustment nuts away fromthe bracket plate.
6. Mark the front adjustment nut with a felt-tipped pen or a piece of tape, and thread thefront adjustment nut all the way up, whilekeeping track of the number of full turns thatyou moved the nut.
Note—Write the number of turns down, soyou do not forget. Remembering this numberis an important part of the re-assemblyprocess.
7. Slide the roller brackets toward the body ofthe resaw to loosen the belt.
8. Remove the stiff cable from the center of theseam to separate it.
9. Remove the old conveyor belt from the con-veyor table, and replace the new conveyorbelt in its place.
10. Mesh the seam “teeth” together on the newbelt, and insert the stiff cable into the centerof the seam to lock it together.
11. Slide the roller brackets away from the bodyof the resaw to tighten the belt.
12. Turn the front adjustment bolts the exactnumber of rotations that you turned themwhen you loosened them.
Note—The new belt may be tighter than theold one because it has not been broken-in. Ifthis is the case, deduct one or two turns fromyour original number of turns.
13. Run the conveyor belt to check the tracking.If the belt starts tracking to one side, stop theresaw and perform the “Tracking Conveyors”instructions that are located on pages 41-42.

Blade Tracking andWheel Alignment
Blade tracking on the Model G0504 consists ofadjusting the wheels to be nearly coplanar (copla-nar=both wheels even and parallel), but havingthe outside edge of the wheel approximately0.020"-0.040" behind the inside edge of thewheel to compensate for wheel toe-in when theblade is fully tensioned.
Because of the large size of this machine and thewheel toe-in factor, this procedure is time con-suming and requires a great deal of trial anderror. Make sure you really need to perform thisprocedure before attempting it.
Also, to complete this procedure you will need tomake four precision gauge blocks and have a 6'long straightedge.
To adjust the wheels to be coplanar:
1. Disconnect the resaw from the powersource!
2. Open the wheel cover.
3. Remove the blade.
4. Using 2x4’s, make four precision gaugeblocks to the specifications shown in Figure44.
Figure 44. Precision gauge block dimensions.
Figure 45. Precision gauge blocks clamped inposition on wheels.
Figure 46. Straightedge placement when checking the upper portion of the wheels.
5. Clamp the gauge blocks to the wheels asshown in Figure 45.
6. Place the straightedge across the top of thegauge blocks, as shown in Figure 46, andexamine how the wheels line up with eachother.

Figure 48. Tension wheel adjustment bolts.
Figure 49. Drive wheel adjustment controls(fourth bolt hidden behind shaft in this picture).
— If the wheels are properly aligned, thestraightedge will touch both inside gaugeblocks and there will be a 0.020"–0.040"gap between the straightedge and theoutside gauge blocks, as shown in Figure47. If this is the case, skip to step 9.
— If the wheels are not positioned as shownabove, determine which direction theyneed to move in order to be correct, thenproceed to step 7 to begin the adjustmentprocess.
7. Look at the backside of the wheel guard andlearn the controls shown in Figures 48 & 49by reading the text that follows.

Movement Direction—The bolt positionaround the wheel shaft determines the partof the wheel that will move when that bolt isturned.
Moving Forward—To move part of thewheel forward, loosen the appropriate lockbolts the same amount that you will tightentheir neighboring adjustment bolts. (By“appropriate” we mean the bolts that controlthe direction that your wheel needs to bemoved.) In the case of the main drive wheeladjustments, always loosen the jam nutsbefore moving the adjustment bolts, andalways tighten the jam nuts after moving theadjustment bolts.
Moving Backward—To move part of thewheel backward, loosen the appropriateadjustment bolt, then tighten the neighboringlock bolt.
8. Adjust the wheels as necessary until thewheel position is correct when checked withthe straightedge and continue to step 9.

Figure 51. Overhead view of wheel positionwhen checking with a straightedge and the
blade is installed and tensioned.
9. Place the straightedge across the bottom ofthe gauge blocks, as shown in Figure 50.The wheels should line up in the same man-ner as described in step 6.
— If they do not, follow steps 7–8 to correctthem.
10. After the wheels are positioned correctly,install and tension the blade, and adjust theguide bearings out of the way of the blade.
11. Check the new position of the wheels. Ideallythe gauge blocks will all be perfectly alignedwith each other, as illustrated in Figure 51.
— If the gauge blocks are aligned within0.040" of each other, continue to step 12.
— If the gauge blocks are positioned morethan 0.040" from each other, repeat steps6 & 9, and make the new adjustmentsaccording to the change you noticed aftertensioning the blade.
12. Remove the gauge blocks and clamps, andspin the wheels by hand in the direction ofnormal operation to check the blade tracking.You can fine tune the blade tracking byadjusting the blade tension up or down—justmake sure to stay in the color range on thetension scale for your particular blade.
13. After the blade is tracking correctly, preparethe saw for a test run by adjusting the guidebearings, closing the wheel cover, and con-necting the machine to the power source.
14. Test run the resaw and repeat this entire sec-tion if the blade does not track correctly.
