WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-

ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains

chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and

other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such

as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil-

ter out microscopic particles.

Like all power tools, there is danger asso-

ciated with the Edge Sander. Accidents are

frequently caused by lack of familiarity or

failure to pay attention. Use this tool with

respect and caution to lessen the possibil-

ity of operator injury. If normal safety pre-

cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-

ous personal injury may occur.

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 per-

sonal injury, damage to equipment or poor

work results.

Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders

• DO NOT allow anyone to stand near the

sander while sanding wood stock.

• DO NOT jam the workpiece against the

sanding belt. Firmly grasp the workpiece in

both hands and ease it against the sanding

belt, using light pressure.

• DO NOT wear loose clothing while operat-

ing this machine. Roll up or button sleeves

at the cuff.

• DO NOT place hands near, or in contact

with, sanding belt during operation.

• ANY PROBLEM, with the exception of belt

tracking, that is concerned at all with any

moving parts or accessories must be

investigated and corrected with the power

disconnected, and after everything has

come to a complete stop.

•

PERFORM machine inspections and main-

tenance service promptly when called for.

• NEVER leave the machine running unat-

tended.

• REPLACE sanding belt when it becomes

worn.

• NEVER sand more than one piece of stock

at a time.

staples, knots, and other imperfections that

could be dislodged and thrown from the

machine during sanding operations.

• NEVER operate the sander without an

adequate dust collection system in place

and running.

• NEVER sand tapered or pointed stock with

the point facing the feed direction.

•ALWAYSwear a dust mask when sand-

ing. Using this machine produces sawdust

which may cause allergic reactions or res-

piratory problems.

G0512 Edge Sander -5-

We are proud to offer the Model G0512 Edge

Sander. This Edge Sander is part of a growing

Grizzly family of fine woodworking machinery.

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

commitment to customer satisfaction.

This sander was developed for those projects

that require a large support area and need the

workpiece to be moved around the roller. The

specially designed small 2

⁄2" edge diameter

roller allows you to get into tighter radius projects

like guitar bodies, curved chair legs etc.... The

table is supported in four positions to eliminate

sagging and to provide a stable base while

working, and the quick belt release mechanism

makes it easy to change belts fast.

We are pleased to provide this manual with the

Model G0512. It was written to guide you through

assembly, to review safety considerations, and to

cover general operating procedures. It repre-

sents our effort to produce the best documenta-

tion possible.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-

rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that

has a plug with an equipment-grounding prong.

The outlet must be properly installed and ground-

ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-

nances.

This machine must have a ground prong in

the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.

DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to

fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will

not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

Electrocution or fire could

result if this machine is

not grounded correctly.

Make sure all electrical

circuits are grounded

before you connect them

to the machine. DO NOT

use this machine if it is

not grounded.

220V Operation

We do not recommend the use of extension cords

on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-

ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to

eliminate the need for extension cords.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an

extension cord at 220V with your Grizzly Edge

Sander:

• Make sure the cord is rated for Standard

Service (grade S) or better.

• The extension cord must also contain a

ground wire and plug prong.

• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50

feet long or less.

• Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is

between 51-100 feet.

110V Operation

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord

at 110V with your Grizzly Edge Sander:

• Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service

(grade S) or better.

• The extension cord must also contain a

ground wire and plug pin.

• Use at least a 10 gauge cord if the cord is 50

feet long or less.

Floor Load

The Model G0512 weighs 235 lbs. and has a

⁄2" x 32" footprint on the bottom of the stand.

Most commercial floors are suitable for your

machine. Some residential floors may require

additional build up to support both the machine

and operator.

Working Clearances

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of

material to be processed through each machine,

and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or

other machinery when establishing a location for

your bandsaw.

Lighting and Outlets

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate

shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits

should be dedicated or large enough to handle

amperage requirements. Outlets should be locat-

ed near each machine so power or extension

cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe

local electrical codes for proper installation of

new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy

oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-

ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-

vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as

Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,

some parts may need to be removed. For opti-

mum performance from your machine, make

sure you clean all moving parts or sliding

contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-

rine-based solvents as they may damage painted

surfaces should they come in contact.

Do not use gasoline or

other petroleum-based

solvents to clean with.

They have low flash

points which make them

extremely flammable. A

risk of explosion and

burning exists if these

products are used.

Do not smoke while using

solvents. A risk of explo-

sion or fire exists and may

result in serious personal

injury.

Site ConsiderationsClean Up

Many of the solvents

commonly used to clean

machinery can be toxic

when inhaled or ingest-

ed. Lack of ventilation

while using these sol-

vents could cause seri-

ous personal health risks

or fire. Take precautions

from this hazard by only

using cleaning solvents

in a well ventilated area.

Unsupervised children and

visitors inside your shop

could cause serious person-

al injury to themselves. Lock

all entrances to the shop

when you are away and DO

NOT allow unsupervised

children or visitors in your

shop at any time!

Figure 10. Idler roller guard installed and

secured in position with small star knob.

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:

1. Make sure that the sander is disconnect-

ed from the power!

2. Loosen the tracking lock knob.

3. Standing in front of the sander, push the

sanding belt multiple times along the platen,

so that it moves in the direction of operation

(counter-clockwise on the rollers), and watch

how the belt tracks on the rollers.

4. Adjust the tracking higher or lower as need-

ed and continue to rotate the belt by hand.

5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until the top of the sand-

ing belt rides even with the top of the main

roller as shown in Figure 11.

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.

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 pro-

tect yourself from getting caught in the mov-

ing 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.

Use extreme caution when preparing for

your initial test run. Always keep one finger

on the switch in order to quickly STOP the

machine in the event of a malfunction or

incorrect belt tracking.

4. Start the sander; it should run smoothly with

little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

Strange or unnatural noises should be inves-

tigated and corrected before further opera-

tion.

— If noises occur that can not be found by

visual inspection, feel free to contact our

Service Department for help.

5. Using the tracking control knob, carefully

adjust the tracking higher or lower until the

top of the sanding belt remains even with the

top of the main roller. Note—The tracking

control knob is very sensitive, adjust it with

caution.

6. When the tracking appears to be correct,

allow the sander to run for approximately one

minute to verify that the tracking stays in the

correct position.

— If the tracking does not stay correct,

repeat steps 5 & 6.

7. When the sanding belt is tracking correctly,

tighten the tracking lock knob.

Before installing the table, the sanding belt must

be tracking correctly to ensure that the idler roller

is close to the position that it will be in during

operation.

To install the table:

1. Disconnect the sander from the power

source!

2. Insert the lead screw assembly as shown in

Figure 12.

tion system with a 4" hose. However, in order to

move the dust from the sander, the dust collec-

tion system must be able to move approximately

500 CFM where the hose connects to the dust

port. Note—This number is an approximation and

is used for estimation purposes only.

To connect the dust port to a dust collection

system:

1. Slide the 4" hose completely over the dust

port as shown in Figure 19.
