SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Machine The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
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 material.
Additional Safety for Combo Sanders Serious injury or death can occur from fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair getting entangled in rotating disc, belt, spindle or other moving components. Abrasion injuries can occur from touching moving sandpaper with bare skin. Workpieces thrown by sanding surface can strike operator or bystanders with moderate force, causing impact injuries. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using sander without proper use of a respirator.
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Before installing the machine, consider the availability 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.
Grounding & Plug Requirements 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.
SECTION 3: SET UP Unpacking Inventory The Model G0529 Oscillating Spindle & 12" Disc Sander was carefully packed at the factory. If you discover the machine is damaged after you have signed for delivery, and the truck and driver are gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult.

Cleanup The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean. Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
Beginning Assembly Cabinet Assembly The machine must be fully assembled before it can be operated. Before beginning the assembly process, refer to Needed for Setup and gather all listed items. To ensure the assembly process goes smoothly, first clean any parts that are covered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if applicable). The Model G0529 Sander mounts on a sturdy cabinet stand. To assemble the cabinet stand: 1.
Mounting Sander Installing Spindle When the cabinet has been completed, it is time to place the sander unit on top of the cabinet stand. To install the spindle onto the sander: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER! To mount the sander to the top of the cabinet stand: 2. Select the proper diameter of spindle sleeve. The Model G0529 comes with the following four sizes of spindle sleeves: 1. With the help of an assistant, place the sander on the cabinet stand. The Model G0529 weighs 166 lbs.
Table Inserts The table inserts minimize the gap between the working surface edge and the spindle. It is important to use the proper table insert according to the diameter spindle you are using. The Model G0529 comes with the following four table inserts: • • • • Squaring Table To square the sanding tables: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER! 2. Set the table at 90˚, as shown in Figure 9.
5. If the table is not 90˚ from the spindle, adjust the table stop bolt to allow more table travel, as shown in Figure 11. 2. Using a machinist's square, set one edge on the table surface and the other against the face of the sanding disc, as shown in Figure 12. Note: This can be done with the sandpaper installed, although it is somewhat easier to measure if the disc does not have the sandpaper disc installed. Figure 11. Squaring the sanding table. 6.
Sanding Disc Installation The disc sander requires 12" PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) sanding discs. To install a new sanding disc on the 12" disc sanding surface: 1. Aligning Table The table must be spaced evenly away from the face of the sanding disc so that the sandpaper does not rub against the table. To align the table: 1. Loosen bolts securing table to the table support bracket. 2. Align the table so that there is a 1⁄16'' gap between the 12" disc and the table. 3.
Miter Gauge Dust Collection The miter gauge needs to be adjusted perpendicular to the face of the wheel when it is mounted in the table slot. There are two 2" dust collection ports for the sander that should be connected to a dust collector. The ports are located under the sanding tables, as shown in Figure 15. To adjust miter gauge: 1. Use a machinist's square with one edge against the face of the miter gauge and the other against the disc face, as shown in Figure 14. 2" Dust Ports Figure 15.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Overview Power Switch The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice 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. The Model G0529 sander is equipped with a paddle-type power switch with a safety key. Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide.
Spindle Sanding The oscillating spindle sander on the Model G0529 produces an extremely fine sanding finish on edges or contours. The oscillation of the spindle disperses the material contact throughout the sanding sleeve to prevent burning. Never use the Model G0529 for applications other than those for which it was made. DO NOT overload the machine or use excess force when sanding. Severe personal injury, damage to the machine, or damage to your workpiece could occur.
Miter Sanding Disc Sanding To perform disc sanding operations: 1. 2. 3. Set the angle of the table relative to the sanding disc. Angle can be set with the angle gauge on the disc sander or with a protractor for greater accuracy. The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired dimension. Miter sanding can be done easily with the miter gauge.
SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES Aluminum Oxide Sanding Sleeves Installing unapproved accessories may cause machine to malfunction, resulting in serious personal injury or machine damage. To reduce this risk, only install accessories recommended for this machine by Grizzly. NOTICE Refer to our website or latest catalog for additional recommended accessories.
