for the tool. Make sure your exten-  
sion cord is in good condition.  
Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The  
amperage rating should be listed on  
the motor or tool nameplate. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in  
line voltage resulting in loss of power  
and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire  
and plug pin. Always repair or  
replace extension cords if they  
become damaged.  
Keep tools sharp and clean for best  
and safest performance. Follow  
instructions for lubricating and  
changing accessories.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-  
vicing and changing accessories,  
such as blades, bits, cutters, and  
the like.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTEN-

Before further use of the tool, a  
guard or other part that is damaged  
should be carefully checked to  
determine that it will operate proper-  
ly and perform its intended function.  
Check for alignment of moving  
parts, binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts, mounting, and  
any other conditions that may affect  
its operation. A guard or other part

mended. Wear protective hair cover-  
ing to contain long hair.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.  
Also use face or dust mask if cutting  
operation is dusty. Everyday eye-  
glasses only have impact resistant  
lenses, they are NOT safety glass-  
es.  
No list of safety guidelines can be  
complete. Every shop environment is  
different. Always consider safety  
first, as it applies to your individual  
working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and  
respect. Failure to do so could result  
in serious personal injury, damage to  
equipment or poor work results.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a  
vise to hold work when practical. It’s  
safer than using your hand and frees  
both hands to operate tool.  
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.

INTRODUCTION  
Commentary  
We are proud to offer the Grizzly Model  
G9906 Circular Saw. The Model G9906 is  
part of a growing Grizzly family of fine  
power tools. When used according to the  
guidelines set forth in this manual, you can  
expect years of trouble-free, enjoyable  
operation and proof of Grizzly’s commit-  
ment to customer satisfaction.  
The specifications, details, and pho-  
tographs in this manual represent the  
Model G9906 as supplied when the manu-  
al was prepared. However, owing to  
Grizzly’s policy of continuous improve-  
ment, changes may be made at any time

below:  
The Model G9906 is a 714" electric circular  
saw that is capable of a wide variety of  
operations. An 18-tooth carbide tipped  
blade driven by a 1 HP motor at 4600  
RPM makes the toughest cutting job a  
simple task. Blade depth can be easily  
adjusted using the graduated scale, and  
the blade can be tilted for bevel cuts up to  
45°. The saw can be equipped with vari-  
ous blades used to cut through wood,  
plastic and concrete. A number of blades  
for the Model G9906 saw are available  
through the Grizzly catalog.

The Model G9906 was specifically  
designed for cutting wood, plastic  
and concrete. Do not modify and/or  
use this machine for any other pur-  
pose. Modifications or improper use  
of this tool will void the warranty. If  
you are confused about any aspect  
of this machine, DO NOT use it until  
you have answered all your ques-  
tions. Serious personal injury may  
occur.  
To check the depth of cut, compare  
the blade depth to the workpiece  
thickness and adjust saw base until  
1
approximately  
4" of the blade is  
exposed past the thickness of the  
workpiece.

OPERATIONS, CONT’D  
Guide Notches  
Operating the Saw  
1. Ensure the blade is secure.  
The saw is provided with two guide notch-  
es for either 45° or 90° cuts. These are  
located on the leading edge of the saw  
base. The notches are used for following a  
line through a cut. It should be noted that  
these are provided for one blade thickness.  
Blades without carbide teeth or with car-  
bide teeth that are thinner or thicker may  
render the guide notches inaccurate.  
2. Grasp the hand grip with one hand.  
Use the hand you would use most  
often: if you are right handed use the  
right.  
3. Grasp the stabilizing hand grip with  
the other hand.  
4. Place the leading edge of the saw on  
the edge of the board to be cut. Align  
the guide notch to a reference line or  
the edge guide to the end of the  
board.  
Setting the Blade Angle  
5. Ensure the blade will not contact the  
board during start up by pulling saw  
away from the edge of the board.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Loosen the black angle locking  
knobs located at the leading and  
trailing edge of the saw base.  
6. Pull the trigger to activate the saw.  
7. Slowly feed saw through the cut.  
Rotate the saw base until the index  
pointer is at the desired angle and  
tighten knobs.  
8. Let go of the trigger when finished  
with the cut.  
For best results always check the  
blade angle with a protractor or angle  
guide before making a cut. Make a  
test cut into scrap lumber and check  
the angle of the cut. Readjust as nec-  
essary.  
Like all power tools, there is danger  
associated with the Model G9906.  
Accidents are frequently caused by  
lack of familiarity or failure to pay  
attention. Use this tool with respect  
and caution to lessen the possibility of  
operator injury. If normal safety pre-  
cautions are overlooked or ignored,  
serious personal injury may occur.  
Avoid kickback hazards! If saw motor  
stalls during cut release the trigger  
immediately. Determine the cause of  
the problem and rectify before contin-  
uing cut.

OPERATIONS, CONT’D  
Changing Blades  
MAKE SURE SAW IS UNPLUGGED!  
1. Rotate the blade guard clockwise to  
reveal the blade.  
2. While holding the blade guard open,  
place the saw onto a secure surface  
engaging the blade teeth onto the  
surface.  
3. While maintaining downward pres-  
sure on the saw, remove the retaining  
screw and washer from the center of  
the blade.  
4. Note the orientation of the teeth. They  
are pointed toward the leading edge  
base of the saw. Be careful to avoid  
touching the saw teeth and slip the  
blade out of the saw.  
5. Ensuring the teeth on the new blade  
are in the correct orientation, slide the  
blade into the slot on the bottom edge  
of the closed blade guard.  
6. Carefully center the blade over the  
arbor and replace the washer and  
retaining screw.  
7. Tighten the retaining screw in the  
same manner as it was removed.  
Saw blades are sharp. Use care when  
handling. Blades may cut or nick fin-  
gers or hands causing lacerations,  
disfigurement or disability.

OPERATING TIPS AND  
MAINTNENACE  
Guidelines and Tips  
Maintenance  
Avoid overloading the saw. Always use  
sharp saw blades. Do not apply  
excessive pressure to the saw while  
using. If the speed drops abnormally,  
decrease pressure immediately. If  
the blade stops abruptly or becomes  
jammed, release the trigger at once.  
Keep the saw free from dirt and grease.  
Disassembly and improper reassem-  
bly of this device can result in electri-  
cal shock danger. Always have this  
device serviced by an qualified elec-  
trical repair technician. Serious injury  
will result.  
Ensure the safety of the workplace.  
Clear the work area of all parts and  
debris that may cause injury by flying  
objects. Securely fix the object to be  
sawn in a vise or otherwise clamp to  
avoid injury. Do not attempt to hold  
workpiece by hand.  
Inspect the saw before use. Run the saw  
before using to ensure all parts are  
running smoothly and there are no  
abnormal sounds or sparks. If any  
defect is found, have unit serviced.  
Operating this equipment has the  
potential to propel debris into the air  
which can cause eye injury. Always  
wear safety glasses or goggles when  
operating equipment. Be certain the  
safety glasses you wear meet the  
appropriate standards of the  
Match your feed rate to the material.  
Use a lower rate of feeding the saw  
through the material when cutting  
hard materials. In softer material  
such as drywall or soft woods, you  
can feed the saw faster.

Standards  
Institute (ANSI).  
Know your worksite. Only saw as deep  
as necessary. Check behind walls for  
for wires, other electrical hazards, or  
plumbing.  
Before starting saw, insure the  
wrench has been removed from the  
arbor. If not removed, the wrench  
could be propelled into the air and  
may cause serious personal injury.
