SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the avail- ability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocu- tion, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or equipment damage may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and connected to the power supply.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

Full-Load Current Rating at 220V

9.5

Amps

Full-Load Current Rating at 110V

19

Amps

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over- loading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.

G0457 14" Industrial Bandsaw (Mfg. Since 5/11)

Circuit Information

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power sup- ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

For your own safety and protection of property, consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about wiring practices or electrical codes in your area.

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man- ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where mul- tiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Furthermore, the bandsaw is equipped with a large cutting capacity, boasting a 14-inch resaw height and a 13-inch maximum cutting width, enabling users to tackle larger projects with ease.

The construction of the Grizzly G0457 is another key highlight. The machine features a solid cast iron frame that enhances stability and reduces vibrations during operation. This sturdy design contributes to improved accuracy, ensuring that cuts are clean and true. Furthermore, the oversized wheels are made of aluminum, allowing for smoother operation and a longer lifespan.

In terms of technology, the G0457 utilizes a precision-machined aluminum fence system. This system is designed for easy adjustments, providing users with the ability to make quick and accurate cuts. The bandsaw also includes a blade tension release, which simplifies blade changes and prolongs the lifespan of the blade itself. Additionally, the quick-release blade tension lever allows for easy adjustments, enhancing overall efficiency.

Safety features are also a priority in the design of the Grizzly G0457. It includes an easy-to-access power switch and a blade guard to protect users from potential injuries. The adjustable upper and lower blade guides ensure optimal performance and safety during operation.

The G0457 is also designed with convenience in mind. It includes a built-in dust port to help maintain a clean workspace. This feature minimizes dust accumulation, promoting a healthier environment and improving visibility while cutting.

In summary, the Grizzly G0457 bandsaw is a powerful and reliable tool that combines innovative features, robust construction, and user-friendly design. Whether you are ripping boards, resawing, or making intricate cuts, the G0457 stands out as a reliable choice for anyone serious about woodworking. Its attention to detail, performance capabilities, and safety features make it an invaluable asset in any workshop.
