SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Operation

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.

Amperage Draw

The Model G0633/G0634 motor draws the follow- ing amps under maximum load:

Motor Draw at 220V

25 Amps

Circuit Requirements

We recommend connecting your machine to a dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri- cian 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 circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

220V Circuit

30 Amps

Plug/Receptacle Type

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding wire in the power cord must be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and grounded. All electrical connections must be made in accor- dance with local codes and ordinances.

Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded correctly or if your electrical con- figuration does not com- ply with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with a quali- fied electrician!

Extension Cords

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 exten- sion cord at 220V with your machine:

Use at least a 10 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length!

Recommended Plug/Receptacle....NEMA L6-30

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.

G0633/G0634 specifications

The Grizzly G0633 and G0634 models are two impressive machines in the realm of woodworking and metalworking equipment. Both models have gained a loyal following among woodworkers and metal fabricators for their exceptional performance, reliability, and innovative features.

One of the most prominent characteristics of the Grizzly G0633 is its robust build quality. Constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, this bandsaw promises durability and stability during operation, minimizing vibrations and ensuring clean, precise cuts. The G0634, an evolution of the G0633, offers enhanced features that cater to both hobbyists and professionals in various industries.

Both models boast powerful motors that ensure smooth and efficient operation. The G0633 is equipped with a 1 HP motor, while the G0634 comes with a more robust 1.5 HP option, allowing for deeper cuts and handling denser materials. This increased power translates to faster material removal rates and improved productivity on the shop floor.

The G0633/G0634 features a dual-speed function, allowing users to adjust the blade speed according to the material being processed. This flexibility is crucial for achieving optimal results on different materials, whether it's hardwood, softwood, or non-ferrous metals. Additionally, the blade guides on both models are precision-engineered, ensuring minimal friction and longer blade life.

Another standout feature is the large cutting capacity these machines offer. The G0633 provides a resounding 12 inches of throat depth, while the G0634 expands this to 14 inches. This increased capacity is a significant advantage for users tackling larger projects or working with oversized stock.

For user convenience, both models are designed with easy adjustments in mind. The quick-release blade tensioning system simplifies blade changes, while the height-adjustable table enhances user ergonomics. The tables are also made of high-quality cast iron, providing a stable surface for workpieces.

Incorporating advanced safety features, the G0633 and G0634 prioritize operator protection. Each model is equipped with a blade brake system that halts blade movement almost instantaneously when the safety switch is triggered. This is a critical function for preventing accidents during operation.

Ultimately, the Grizzly G0633 and G0634 stand out in the market for their excellent balance of power, versatility, and safety. With their outstanding cutting capabilities and engineered precision, these bandsaws are excellent choices for any workshop aimed at producing high-quality workpieces. Whether for a professional environment or a dedicated hobby shop, both the G0633 and G0634 continue to meet and exceed the expectations of craftsmen and creators everywhere.
