Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con- nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical com- ponents!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpre- dictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved after- market parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires dis- connected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this man- ual when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious per- sonal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are expe- riencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

G9740 specifications

The Grizzly G9740 is a versatile and powerful benchtop metal band saw designed for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Known for its robust construction and high performance, this machine stands out as an essential tool for any workshop that requires precise cutting of metal materials.

One of the main features of the G9740 is its powerful 1 HP motor, which delivers smooth and consistent cutting performance. This motor provides the necessary torque to handle a variety of metal cutting tasks, from simple cross-cuts to complex curves. Additionally, the saw operates at two different speeds, allowing users to adjust the cutting rate according to the material being worked on, which enhances its versatility.

The G9740 is engineered with a durable cast iron frame that not only reduces vibration but also contributes to the overall stability of the saw during operation. This stability is crucial for achieving accurate cuts, especially when working with thicker materials. The band saw is equipped with a precision ground cast iron table that provides ample support for the workpiece, ensuring that it can handle large and heavy materials with ease.

Another notable characteristic of the Grizzly G9740 is its large cutting capacity. The saw can accommodate stock up to 7 inches in height and 10 inches in width, making it ideal for a wide range of projects, from custom metal fabrications to intricate hobby work. The adjustable blade guide system ensures that the blade remains properly aligned, which is essential for maintaining cutting accuracy over extended periods.

Safety is a top priority with the Grizzly G9740. The machine comes with several safety features, including a blade guard that protects users from accidental contact with the cutting blade. Moreover, the saw is designed with a reliable tensioning mechanism that keeps the blade tight and secure during operation, minimizing the risk of blade breakage or misalignment.

In summary, the Grizzly G9740 is a highly capable benchtop metal band saw that offers a combination of power, precision, and safety. Its robust design, flexible speed settings, and generous cutting capacity make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to tackle metal cutting projects with confidence and accuracy. Whether for professional use or personal projects, the G9740 is a reliable tool that will deliver consistent and high-quality results.
