What to do if my Grizzly G0803 Saw won't start?
- G
  Gabriela ButlerAug 15, 2025
  If your Grizzly Saw doesn't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the switch disabling key is installed. Check that the power supply voltage and circuit size are correct. Also, verify that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped or a fuse blown, and reset or replace if necessary. Inspect for any broken, disconnected, or corroded wires and fix them. If the issue persists, the ON/OFF switch or the motor itself may be faulty and require replacement or repair.

Why does my Grizzly G0803 Saw stall when cutting?
- J
  jjeffersonAug 19, 2025
  If your Grizzly Saw stalls or seems underpowered, consider these factors: the workpiece material may not be suitable, or its moisture content may be too high. The feed rate or cutting speed could be too fast; try decreasing it. Dull blades, an incorrect blade type, or a crooked workpiece can also cause stalling. Ensure the fence is properly adjusted. Check for blade slippage on the wheels and increase blade tension if needed, or clean the tires and blade. Also, inspect the belt for slippage and clean or tension/replace it, ensuring pulleys are aligned. Overheated motor, faulty run capacitor, or a pulley slipping on the shaft can also be the cause. Clean the motor, let it cool, and reduce workload. Test, repair, or replace the capacitor and/or the loose pulley/shaft if necessary.

How to prevent blade breakage on my Grizzly G0803 Saw?
- M
  Michael MichaelAug 22, 2025
  To prevent blade breakage on your Grizzly Saw, ensure the blade tension is correct and that you are using the appropriate blade for the application. Reduce the feed rate and pressure to avoid excessive stress on the blade. When cutting corners, use a wider arc or relief cuts for tight inside cuts. Replace dull blades and adjust blade tracking for proper alignment. Ensure blade guides are correctly positioned to provide adequate blade support. Other potential causes include a faulty blade weld, worn wheel tires, misaligned fence or miter slot, and bad bearings on the wheels or guide bearings. Replace or re-install the tire. Align the table and fence with the blade. Replace wheels and/or guide bearings.

Why is my Grizzly Saw vibrating so much?
- L
  Laura JeffersonAug 26, 2025
  Excessive vibration or noise in your Grizzly Saw can stem from several issues. A faulty blade weld or broken teeth can cause vibration, so replace the blade if necessary. Check for a worn or loose belt and inspect or replace it. Ensure the motor fan isn't rubbing against the fan cover; fix or replace the cover, and replace the fan if it's loose or damaged. Also, inspect the motor mount and other machine components for looseness; tighten or replace as needed, using thread-locking fluid. The machine may be incorrectly mounted, so tighten the mounting bolts or relocate/shim the machine. Finally, test the motor bearings by rotating the shaft; grinding or looseness indicates bearing replacement is needed.

Why are my cuts rough with my Grizzly G0803 Saw?
- N
  Nancy ClarkeAug 31, 2025
  Rough or scored workpieces from your Grizzly Saw can be due to several reasons. The blade might be overloaded and twisting during the cut, so decrease the feed rate. The blade's TPI (teeth per inch) could be too coarse for the material; use the correct blade for the material and cut type. A loose blade can flutter, so increase blade tension as needed. Check and adjust the blade tracking if it's incorrect. Finally, inspect the blade for missing or bent teeth, or a faulty weld, and replace the blade if any of these issues are present.
