Clean Up Site Considerations The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated.
Beginning Assembly This section will cover the minimum assembly and adjustment instructions needed to begin operation. For best results, complete the assembly in the order provided in this manual and then read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operations. Safety must come first! Read and follow these instructions before beginning assembly: Installing Feet To install the feet on the sander: 1. Thread the feet into the bottom of the stand as shown in Figure 5.
Installing Tension Lever Installing Sanding Belt To install the tension lever: To install the sanding belt: 1. 1. Make sure the tension lock knob is loosened. 2. Move the tension lever into the release position as shown in Figure 7. Thread the end of the tension lever into the swivel assembly as shown in Figure 6. Tension Lock Knob Tension Lever Lock Nut Swivel Assembly Figure 6. Installing tension lever in swivel assembly. 2.
Attaching Dust Port Connecting Plug to Cord To attach the dust port: 1. Attach the dust port to the support brackets with the three 5⁄16"-18 x 1⁄2" hex bolts and washers, as shown in Figure 9, but DO NOT completely tighten the bolts yet. The voltage you decide to use with your sander will determine which plug and receptacle you install. Read pages 6 & 7, in Section 3: Circuit Requirements for more information. Install the plug and receptacle now. Figure 9. Dust port attached to brackets. 2.
Installing Roller Guard To install the roller guard: 1. Place the guard on top of the idler roller and secure it in position with the included small star knob, as shown in Figure 10. Test Run & Tracking Before you can install the table, you must run the sander to track the belt. However, you should perform a “pre-tracking” procedure before starting the sander to ensure that the belt does not come off of or bottom out on the rollers during the initial startup. To pretrack the belt: Figure 10.
To test run and track the belt: 1. Make sure the belt is properly pre-tracked as described previously. 2. Tie back loose clothing and long hair to protect yourself from getting caught in the moving sanding belt when you start the machine. 3. Make sure the switch is in the down position (OFF), then connect the sander to the power source.
4. Install the front L support with the lock handle and two 3⁄8" flat washers as shown in Figure 14. 8. Use a 3mm or 1⁄8" Allen wrench as a gauge to position the table evenly away from the platen and the idler roller. Do this by placing the Allen wrench as shown in Figure 16, at the three locations shown in Figure 17. Figure 14. Front L support installed. 5. Install the L supports with the lock handles and remaining four 3⁄8" flat washers as shown in Figure 15.
Installing Back Stop Connecting to Dust Collection System To install the back stop: 1. Use a machinists square to position the back stop perpendicular to the platen, on the end of the table that is near the ON/OFF switch. 2. Secure the backstop to the table with three #8 x 3⁄4" Phillips head tap screws (as shown in Figure 18). The dust port can be connected to a dust collection system with a 4" hose.
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below: Operating this equipment creates the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Adjusting Table Height Sanding Belt Selection The table can be adjusted up or down to allow the operator to use more surface area of the sanding belt. Adjusting the height will also prevent the platen graphite and sanding belt from wearing out in one place. The Model G0512 accepts a 6" x 80" sanding belt. To adjust the table: 1. Loosen the lock handles that secure the L supports and the lead screw. 2.
Edge & End Sanding Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back during operations! To perform an edge or end sanding operation: 1. Make sure the vertical tracking on the sanding belt is set. 2. Start the sander by pulling the switch up. 3. Support the workpiece against the back stop, keep your fingers away from the moving belt and slowly feed the workpiece into the moving belt, as shown in Figures 23 & 24.
Contour Sanding Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back during operations! To perform a contour sanding operation: 1. Start the sander by pulling the switch up. 2. Grip the workpiece firmly and feed it into the curved end (as shown in Figure 25), and continue moving the workpiece profile along the contour until you achieve your desired shape. -22- Figure 25. Typical contour sanding operation.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE Lubrication Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. General Regular periodic maintenance on your Grizzly Edge Sander will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary. 1. Loose mounting bolts. 2. Worn switch. 3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs. 4.
SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS Adjusting Tensioner Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. About Service The belt tensioner is normally adjusted as the belt stretches. Two good indications of belt stretch (or a loose belt) are if the belt slaps against the platen while running or if it slips on the rollers.
6. Rotate the tension nut counter-clockwise to increase the tension and clockwise to decrease the tension. — Decreased Tension: If you rotated the tension nut clockwise, move the belt tension lever to the release position. If it is not too stiff, continue to step 7. If it is too stiff to move comfortably, then either the shaft spring tension needs to be reset, the tension shaft needs lubrication, or the idler roller-to-platen relationship needs to be adjusted (page 29-30).
5. Turn the tension nut counter-clockwise until the threads of the tension shaft are flush with the nut, as shown in Figure 37. Parallel Belt Tracking The belt should track on the rollers so that the top edge of the sanding belt stays parallel with the top edge of the platen graphite, as illustrated in Figure 38. Figure 37. Tension nut flush with threads. 6. Loosen the tracking control bolt (Figure 36, page 25). 7. Pull on the idler roller to take up the slack in the tension shaft. 8.
To adjust the parallel tracking of the sanding belt: 1. 6. Disconnect the sander from the power source! 2. Remove the dust port. 3. Remove the table by removing the lock handles, but keeping the L support brackets and elevation plate attached to the table as shown in Figure 39. Thread in the necessary two of the four parallel tracking setscrews approximately 1⁄4-1⁄2 a turn, as discussed below.
Platen-to-Rollers Adjustments 4. Now place the straightedge across the BOTTOM part of the platen graphite and the main roller as shown in Figure 42. Measure the gap, if there is one, between the straightedge and the main roller. The platen can be adjusted forward or backward in relation to the main and idler rollers. When the platen is correctly adjusted, it should extend beyond the rollers approximately 1⁄8".
2. Place the straightedge across the TOP of the platen graphite and the idler roller. Measure the gap, if there is one, between the straightedge and the main roller. 3. Place the straightedge across the BOTTOM of the platen graphite and the idler roller. Measure the gap, if there is one, between the straightedge and the main roller. — Correct Platen-to-Idler Roller Relationship: The distance between the straightedge and the idler roller is approximately 1⁄8" at both the top and bottom.
3. Loosen the two cap screws, shown in Figure 44, approximately one full turn. Figure 44. Idler roller adjustment cap screws. 4. 5. 6. 7. Place a straightedge across the TOP part of the platen graphite and in front of the idler roller, and adjust the idler roller so that it is approximately 1⁄8" away from the straightedge.
