NOTICE

Safety Instructions for Machinery

SECTION 1: SAFETY

Model G0843P (Mfd. Since 11/17)

-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 Sanders

HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating sanding discs can

quickly remove a large amount skin. Always keep

hands away from sanding disc during operation.

Never touch moving sanding disc on purpose.

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 sanding disc or sander. Never try to

sand stock that has embedded foreign objects or

questionable imperfections.

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 DISC CONDITION. Worn or damaged

sanding discs not only produces poor sanding

results, but could fly apart, aggressively grab

workpiece, and throw debris at the operator.

Always inspect sanding discs before operation and

replace if worn or damaged.

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

adequate dust-collection system in place and run-

ning. Proper dust collection reduces dust in work

area, which decreases risk of long-term respira-

tory damage, but it is not a substitute for using a

respirator.

Serious injury or death can occur from pinching fingers or hands between rotating sanding disc

and table, or getting clothes or hair getting entangled in sanding disc. Workpieces thrown by

sander can strike nearby operators with great force. Long-term respiratory damage can occur

from using sander without a respirator and adequate dust collection system. To minimize these

risks, anyone operating machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming

entangled 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 sanding disc 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

sanding disc.

DISC DIRECTION. Only sand on downward-

moving side of sanding disc with workpiece firmly

supported against table. Sanding on upward-

moving side of sanding disc forces operator to

rely only on hands (rather than table) for support,

which increases risk of workpiece kickback, loss of

control, and impact/abrasion injuries. Workpiece

kickback can occur with violent force if workpiece

is not properly supported during operation. Always

sand with workpiece firmly against table or another

support device.

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 sanding disc using light

pressure.

SMALL WORKPIECES. Small workpieces are

difficult to control and require close support near

sanding surface. Always use a jig or other holding

device when sanding small workpieces, and keep

hands and fingers at least 2" away from sanding

surface.

Model G0843P (Mfd. Since 11/17)

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, shock,

or equipment damage

may occur if machine is

not properly grounded

and connected to 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 110V ........ 7 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.)

110V 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 G0843P (Mfd. Since 11/17)

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 ...........................14 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!

Another option is a "direct mount" (see example

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 system to machine:

1. Fit (2) 2

⁄2" dust hoses over dust ports,

and secure in place with 2

⁄2" hose clamps

(see Figure 7).

Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 150 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 a lot of wood chips/

dust during operation. Breathing airborne

dust on a regular basis can result in perma-

nent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk

by wearing a respirator and capturing the

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-

ice machine operator with a basic understanding

of how the machine is used during operation, so

the

machine controls/components

discussed later

in this manual

are easier to understand.

Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is

not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn

more about specific operations, read this entire

manual,

seek additional

training from experienced

machine operators

, and do additional research

outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,

trade magazines, or websites.

To complete a typical sanding operation, the

operator does the following:

1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-

able for sanding.

2. Adjusts table tilt as necessary and locks table

in place.

3. If necessary, inserts miter gauge in miter

slot, adjusts miter gauge to required sanding

angle, and locks it in place.

4. Puts on safety glasses and a respirator.

5. Starts machine and dust collector.

6. Holds workpiece firmly and flatly against

both table and miter gauge (if used), pushes

workpiece into and moves it along downward

spinning side of sanding disc.

7. Stops machine.

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.

which are available in a variety of grits. The sand-

ing discs can be replaced without removing the

table, following the procedure below.

To replace sanding discs:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove disc guard, peel off old sandpaper,

clean disc surface with mineral spirits, and

wipe it dry.

3. Loosen locking table handle and fully tilt table

down.

4. Peel back protective layer on one-half of

sandpaper disc and fold it against remaining

half.

5. Slip half with protective layer between disc

and table edge, as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9. Attaching sanding disc.

Discs

6. Position exposed adhesive on upper half of

disc that extends above table. Once it is posi-

tioned evenly across disc, press adhesive

onto surface.

7. Rotate disc so lower half is above table. Peel

off other half of protective paper, and press

remaining sandpaper against disc so adhe-

sion is complete

8. Re-position table, tighten locking table

handles, and re-install disc guard.

9. Repeat Steps 2–8 to install sanding disc on

Sanding Operations

To perform sanding operations:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. If needed, set angle of table and miter gauge

for your operation.

3. Make sure table is about

⁄16" away from sand-

ing disc. Refer to Table Gap & Parallelism

on Page 23 for further details.

4. Connect sander to power, turn it ON, and

allow sanding disc to reach full speed.

5. Position workpiece on table against miter

gauge with disc guard in place.

6. With moderate pressure, push workpiece into

downward moving side of rotating disc. See

Figures 11–13 for examples of disc sanding.

To reduce risk of your fingers getting

pinched between work table and sanding

disc, always make sure gap between table

and sanding disc does NOT exceed

⁄16".

Always keep disc guard in place and

workpiece on side of wheel that is rotating

downward. This will reduce likelihood of

workpiece being ejected.

Figure 11. Example of level sanding.

Figure 12. Example of angle sanding.

The advantage of a double disc sander is it allows

you to work with different grit sizes for both coarse

and fine sanding.

Move the workpiece slowly back and forth along

downward moving side of sanding disc, and avoid

using excessive pressure to prevent burning the

workpiece and overloading the sanding discs.

To perform sanding on compound-angle cuts, tilt

the table and rotate the miter gauge to the appro-

priate angles.

Figure 13. Example of sanding with table tilted.
