NOTICE

Safety Instructions for Machinery

SECTION 1: SAFETY

Model G0787 (Mfd. Since 09/14)

-7-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become

entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or

cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce

risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally

contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery

operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or

long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust

hazards associated with each workpiece mate-

rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to

reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-

ing protection when operating or observing loud

machinery. Extended exposure to this noise

without hearing protection can cause permanent

hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on

machinery can become dangerous projectiles

upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,

or any other tools on machine. Always verify

removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use

this tool for its intended purpose—do not force

it or an attachment to do a job for which it was

not designed. Never make unapproved modifica-

tions—modifying tool or using it differently than

intended may result in malfunction or mechanical

failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times when operating machine.

Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions

that make workpiece control difficult or increase

the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and

bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.

Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce

accidental contact with moving parts or flying

debris. Make sure they are properly installed,

undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE

operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.

It will do the job safer and better at the rate for

which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury

may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting

tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur-

ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or

loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is

stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-

ommended accessories. Using improper acces-

sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the

risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and

ensure all moving parts completely stop before

walking away. Never leave machine running

while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance

instructions and lubrication schedules to keep

machine in good working condition. A machine

that is improperly maintained could malfunction,

leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine

for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or

any condition that could affect safe operation.

Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating

machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate

machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-

ing cord-connected machines from power, grab

and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord

may damage the wires inside. Do not handle

cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by

keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic

areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time

you experience difficulties performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our

Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Disc/Belt Sanders

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Workpiece kickback

can occur with violent force if workpiece is not

properly supported during operation. Always sand

with workpiece firmly against table or another sup-

port device.

WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Nails, staples, knots,

or other imperfections in workpiece can be dis-

lodged and thrown from sander at high rate of

speed into operator or bystanders, or cause dam-

age to sandpaper or sander. Never try to sand

stock that has embedded foreign objects or ques-

tionable imperfections.

SANDPAPER CONDITION. Worn or damaged

sandpaper not only produces poor sanding results,

but could fly apart, aggressively grab workpiece,

and throw debris at the operator. Always inspect

sandpaper before operation and replace if worn or

damaged.

WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Only sand solid work-

pieces that can withstand power sanding forces.

Make sure shape of workpiece is properly support-

ed on table; avoid sanding workpieces without flat

bottom surfaces unless some type of jig is used to

maintain support and control when sanding force

is applied.

SANDING DUST. Sanding creates large amounts

of dust and flying chips that can lead to eye injury

or respiratory illness. Reduce risk of these hazards

by wearing approved eye and respiratory protec-

tion when using sander.

DUST COLLECTION. Never operate without ade-

quate dust collection system in place and running.

Proper dust collection reduces dust in work area,

which decreases risk of long-term respiratory dam-

age, but it is not a substitute for using a respirator.

Serious injury can occur from fingers or hands contacting sandpaper, or from fingers, clothes,

or hair getting entangled in sanding disc or belt. Workpieces thrown by sander can strike nearby

operators. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using sander without proper use of

a respirator and an adequate dust collection system. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed,

anyone operating machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

DISC DIRECTION. Only sand on downward-mov-

ing left side of sanding disc. Sanding on upward-

moving right side of sanding disc forces operator

to rely only on hands (rather than table) for sup-

port, which increases risk of workpiece “kick-out”

and impact/abrasion injuries.

HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating sandpaper can

remove a large amount of flesh in a few seconds.

Always keep hands away from sandpaper during

operation. Never touch moving sandpaper on pur-

pose. Use a brush to clean table of sawdust and

chips.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming work-

piece into sanding surface could cause workpiece

to be aggressively grabbed and pull your hands

into sanding surface. Firmly grasp workpiece in

both hands and ease it into sandpaper using light

pressure.

MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSION. Small workpiec-

es can be aggressively pulled from your hands.

Always use a jig or other holding device when

sanding small workpieces, and keep hands and

fingers at least 2” away from sanding surface.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entan-

gled in moving parts of this machine can cause

pinching and crushing injuries. To avoid these

hazards, DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or

jewelry, and tie back long hair. Keep all guards in

place and secure.

IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between

moving sandpaper and fixed table/support creates

a pinch point for fingers or workpieces; the larger

this gap is, the greater risk of fingers or workpieces

getting caught in it. Minimize this risk by adjusting

table no more than

⁄16” away from sandpaper.

Model G0787 (Mfd. Since 09/14)

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the avail-

ability and proximity of the required power supply

circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the

requirements for this machine, a new circuit must

be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,

fire, or equipment damage, installation work and

electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or

qualified service personnel in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or

equipment damage may

occur if machine is not

correctly grounded and

connected to the power

supply.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a

machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.

On machines with multiple motors, this is the

amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all

motors and electrical devices that might operate

at one time during normal operations.

Full-Load Current Rating at 120V .... 4.3 Amps

The full-load current is not the maximum amount

of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine

is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond

the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length

of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—

especially if connected to an undersized circuit.

To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-

loading the machine during operation and make

sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that

meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

property, consult an electrician if you are

unsure about wiring practices or electrical

codes in your area.

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will

be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will

be connected to a shared circuit where multiple

machines may be running at the same time, con-

sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to

ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical

equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel

in the building and the machine. The power sup-

ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to

safely handle the full-load current drawn from the

machine for an extended period of time. (If this

machine is connected to a circuit protected by

fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

120V Circuit Requirements

This machine is prewired to operate on a power

supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets

the following requirements:

Nominal Voltage .................... 110V, 115V, 120V

Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz

Phase ........................................... Single-Phase

Power Supply Circuit ......................... 15 Amps

Serious injury could occur if you connect

machine to power before completing setup

process. DO NOT connect to power until

instructed later in this manual.

-10-

Model G0787 (Mfd. Since 09/14)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The

wire with green insulation (with or without yellow

stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair

or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-

essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding

wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per-

sonnel if you do not understand these grounding

requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether

the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice

that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-

nect it from power, and immediately replace it with

a new one.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with this machine.

If you must use an extension

cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only

on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can

damage electrical components and shorten motor

life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord

size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller

(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must

be in good condition and contain a ground wire

and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must

meet the following size requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size ...........................16 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

Grounding & Plug Requirements

SHOCK HAZARD!

Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding

requirements for this machine. Do not modify

or use an adapter on the plug provided—if

it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified

electrician install the proper outlet with a

verified ground.

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event

of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that

has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding

plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle

(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT modify the provided plug!

below) where the machine is secured directly to

the workbench with lag screws and washers.

The base of this machine has mounting holes

that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or

other mounting surface to prevent it from moving

during operation and causing accidental injury or

damage.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through

Mount" (see example below) where holes are

drilled all the way through the workbench—and

hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to

secure the machine in place.

Dust Collection

To connect dust collection hose:

1. Fit 2

⁄2" dust hose over dust port, as shown

in Figure 12, and secure in place with hose

clamp.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 250 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with

the rating of the dust collector. To determine the

CFM at the dust port, you must consider these

variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,

(2) hose type and length between the dust col-

lector and the machine, (3) number of branches

or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines

throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-

culate these variables is beyond the scope of

this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a

good dust collection "how-to" book.

This machine creates substantial amounts

of dust during operation. Breathing air-

borne dust on a regular basis can result in

permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your

risk by wearing a respirator and capturing

the dust with a dust collection system.

2. Tug hose to make sure it does not come off.

Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper per-

formance.

Test Run

Once assembly is complete, test run the machine

to ensure it is properly connected to power and

safety components are functioning correctly.

If you find an unusual problem during the test run,

immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from

power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the

machine again. The

Troubleshooting

table in the

SERVICE section of this manual can help.

DO NOT start machine until all preceding

setup instructions have been performed.

Operating an improperly set up machine

may result in malfunction or unexpect-

ed results that can lead to serious injury,

death, or machine/property damage.

Serious injury or death can result from

using this machine BEFORE understanding

its controls and related safety information.

DO NOT operate, or allow others to operate,

machine until the information is understood.

To test run machine:

1. Clear all setup tools away from machine.

2. Connect machine to power supply.

3. Turn machine ON, verify motor operation,

and then turn machine OFF.

Motor should run smoothly and without

unusual problems or noises.

4. Remove key from toggle switch, as shown

below.

Figure 13. Removing key from toggle switch.

5. Try to start machine with switch. The machine

should not start.

— If the machine does not start, the toggle

switch is working correctly. Congratulations!

The Test Run is complete.

— If the machine does start (with the toggle

switch removed), immediately disconnect

power to the machine. The toggle switch

safety feature is not working correctly. This

safety feature must work properly before

proceeding with regular operations. Call

Tech Support for help.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

Disabling Switch

Figure 14. Disabling switch by removing key.

The switch can be disabled by removing the key,

as shown below. Disabling the switch in this man-

ner can prevent unauthorized operation of the

machine, which is important if it is not kept inside

an access-restricted building or in a location

where children may be present.

IMPORTANT:

Disabling the switch only restricts

its function. It is not a substitute for disconnecting

machine from power when adjusting or servicing.

Children or untrained people can be

seriously injured by this machine

. This

risk increases with unsupervised operation.

To help prevent unsupervised operation,

always disable

switch before leaving

machine unattended. Make sure to place

key in a well-hidden or secure location!

To reduce your risk of

serious injury, read this

entire manual BEFORE

using machine.

To reduce risk of eye injury from flying

chips or lung damage from breathing dust,

always wear safety glasses and a respirator

when operating this machine.

If you are not experienced with this type

of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND

that you seek additional training outside of

this manual. Read books/magazines or get

formal training before beginning any proj-

ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-

tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable

for accidents caused by lack of training.

Keep hair, clothing, and

jewelry away from mov-

ing parts at all times.

Disc Sanding

Only sand workpiece on side of sanding

disc that is rotating down toward work table.

This will keep workpiece from flying out of

your hands from rotational force of disc.

Set the work table angle relative to the sanding

disc. The angle can be set using the angle scale

on the sander body, or for greater accuracy, a pro-

tractor or machinist's square can be used.

Setting Work Table Angle

Adjusting Miter Gauge Angle

To set work table angle:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen angle adjustment knob, and position

work table so pointer on end of work table

support aligns with desired angle on angle

scale (see Figure 15).

— For greater accuracy, use a protractor

or machinist's square.

Performing Disc Sanding Operations

For disc sanding straight lines, always brace your

workpiece against the miter gauge for maximum

stability. We do not recommend disc sanding with-

out a miter gauge unless absolutely necessary, as

with sanding outside curves. For more informa-

tion, see Sanding Outside Curves on Page 18.

To perform disc sanding operations:

1. Set work table and miter gauge angles, as

described on this page.

2. Turn machine ON.

1. Place miter gauge in slot in work table, then

loosen miter gauge lock knob shown in

Figure 16.

Figure 16. Setting miter gauge angle.

2. Rotate fence until pointer indicates desired

angle on scale, then re-tighten lock knob.

Note: For instructions on calibrating your

miter gauge, see Calibrating Miter Gauge

on Page 28.

Belt Sanding

3. Place workpiece on work table and brace it

against miter gauge (see Figure 17).

Figure 17. Disc sanding.

4. While keeping workpiece snug against miter

gauge fence, gently feed it into downward

spinning half of sanding disc.

5. Use light pressure, and slowly move work-

piece side to side along downward spinning

half of sanding disc to prevent burning work-

piece and excessive loading of sandpaper.

Sanding Outside Curves

To sand outside curves:

1. Remove miter gauge.

2. Turn machine ON.

3. Place workpiece on work table, and gently

feed it into downward spinning half of sanding

disc.

4. Using light pressure, slowly move workpiece

side to side along downward spinning half of

sanding disc to prevent burning workpiece

and excessive loading of sandpaper.

The Model G0787 disc sander can be used to

sand convex (outside) curves. Since the miter

gauge is not used for this operation, use both

hands to hold the workpiece.

The Model G0787 belt sander bed tilts from 0° –

90°, allowing for both horizontal and vertical belt

sanding.

The horizontal position is generally used for sand-

ing with the grain along the length of a workpiece,

and for sanding inside curves.

The vertical position is best used with the work

table attached to the bed, for miter sanding and

sanding outside curves.

Adjusting Sanding Bed Angle

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen bed angle cap screw shown in Figure

18.

Figure 18. Bed angle adjustment.

3. Raise or lower bed to desired angle, then

re-tighten bed angle cap screw.
