-Grizzly G0569 is a 7.5hp resaw monster.
+{{Required|Woodshop Safety}}
-Do not cut metal with this tool. This bandsaw is to be used for wood only, and only for resawing or straight cuts. No curves.
+====Acceptable Materials====
-{{Required|Woodshop Safety}}
+Only wood should be cut on this bandsaw. If you are cutting raw logs, please use one of the metal detectors in the shop to double check the log for any metal. If you are cutting logs, you must use a fixture. You will have to build your own.
-For this saw, the red button on the power panel is the off button.  If you use this button, you will need to twist it to reset it.  It will take the blade more than a minute to come to a stop.
+====Maximum Sizes and Weights====
-If you wish to use the brake pedal, push gently.  It still will take a little while for the blade to stop running. The brake pedal will shut power off to the saw.  (This is per Grizzly Technical Support, and is not stated in their current version manual).
+*Max cutting width: 24-1/2 in.
-Only stomp heavily on the brake pedal in an emergency.
+====Consumables====
-No adjustments allowed, except for Fence & Cutting height.
+If the saw throat plate is damaged, please submit a problem report via the red QR code on the machine. Spare throat plates (if available currently) are stored in the bottom cabinet of one of the smaller bandsaws.
 This saw takes a 180" blade.  We typically equip it with a 1" 3tpi Timber Wolf resaw blade.
-* No blade changes - call a steward or report via red QR code.
+*No blade changes - If you notice a problem with the blade, please submit a problem report via the red QR code on the machine.
-* Do not adjust bearings or tension. Do not release tension.
-* If you see a problem that you think needs these adjustments, report using any red QR code.
+== Setup ==
-If you are cutting logs, use a fixture. You will have to build your own. It is a good idea to run a metal detector across logs.
+Once unlocked, rotate the guide adjustment wheel until the guide wheels are no higher than 1/4" above the piece you will be cutting.
-Maximum cutting height is 16¼", maximum cutting width is 24½"
+=== 3. Set Fence depth ===
 The cast-iron fence isn't super tall.  We keep sacrificial MDF fences around to help with resawing taller material.
