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 Sander/Buffers 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: SETUP Needed for Setup This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before starting the machine! Wear safety glasses during the entire setup process! HEAVY LIFT! Straining or crushing injury may occur from improperly lifting machine or some of its parts. To reduce this risk, get help from other people and use a forklift (or other lifting equipment) rated for weight of this machine.
Inventory J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. The following is a list of items shipped with your machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory them. If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store.

Hardware Recognition Chart 5mm Model G1015 (Mfg.
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.
Site Considerations Weight Load Physical Environment Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.
Mounting Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where the machine is simply secured to the workbench with a lag screw. The Model G1015 is a top-heavy machine. Pressure applied to the sanding arm during operation could easily tip the machine over, causing personal injury or property damage. To prevent this, you must firmly mount this machine to a flat, stable surface, such as a workbench, before beginning operations.
3. Back out the cap screws and set screws in the pivot arm mounting bracket and the pivot arm bracket, then slide the arm bracket onto the mounting bracket, as shown in Figures 9–10. 5. Slide the arm bracket assembly onto the right-hand arbor with the arm bracket bushing facing out, as shown in Figure 11, then secure it with the remaining (3) 1⁄4"-20 x 1⁄2" cap screws. Note: The pivot arm bracket bushing is shipped with a lubricating grease coating on its outside surface.
10. Back out the two set screws in the round housing of the pivot arm, slide the arm onto the bracket bushing so that the platen bracket cap screws are facing to the right, as shown in Figure 12, then tighten the set screws to hold the pivot arm in place. Note: The pivot arm and bushing are designed so that the set screws tighten into the grooved surface of the bushing. This keeps the pivot arm from sliding off the bushing when using the tilt feature.
16. Remove the three cap screws and flat washers that hold the two pieces of the tool rest support assembly together. 19. Secure the tool rest to the support assembly with the remaining 5⁄16"-18 x 1 1⁄4" cap screw and flat washer, as shown in Figure 17. 17. Mount the first tool rest support that is flat on both sides to the back of the arm bracket with the 5⁄16"-18 x 3⁄4" cap screw (the shortest of the three) and flat washer removed in Step 16, as shown in Figure 16.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Overview To reduce your risk of serious injury, read this entire manual BEFORE using machine. Eye injuries, respiratory problems, or hearing loss can occur while operating this tool. Wear personal protective equipment to reduce your risk from these hazards. Keep hair, clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts at all times.
Sanding Belt 4. The Model G1015 accepts sanding belts that are 2" wide and 72"–76" in length. Note: If you use the optional Model G9242 10" drive wheel, you need to use a sanding belt that is longer than the included 72" belt. To ensure a safe operation and good sanding results, the sanding belt must be properly installed, tensioned, and tracked. If needed for your operation, adjust the tool rest position as required.
3. Hold onto the sanding arm assembly to keep it from moving, then loosen the threaded knobs and the lock collar cap screw shown in Figure 20. 3. Rotate the drive wheel several times by hand and watch the sanding belt as it tracks on the idler and drive wheels. —If the sanding belt is centered on the idler and drive wheels, and does not move to one side or the other after several rotations, no further adjustments are necessary.
Belt Sanding The sanding belt is used to sand wood or metal. We recommend using aluminum oxide sanding belts for wood and silicon carbide for metal. Refer to Accessories on Page 24 for options from Grizzly. Always be sure the sanding belt is properly installed, tensioned, and tracked before connecting the machine to power (refer to the Sanding Belt subsection on Page 20 for detailed instructions). The sanding belt is also used for knife grinding and sharpening.
Auxiliary Attachments The sanding arm assembly tilts to a horizontal position, as shown in Figure 25. This arrangement is more convenient for certain types of sanding or grinding operations. The auxiliary arbor accepts buffing, polishing, or sanding attachments with a 5 ⁄ 8" bore and up to a 10" diameter. Refer to Accessories on Page 24 for options from Grizzly.
ACCESSORIES SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES 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. Spiral Sewn Buffing Wheels Each layer is 100% unbleached cotton sheeting, spiral sewn approximately 1⁄ 8" apart. For final finishing on brass, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, and cast iron. Available in plys of 30, 40, and 60 from 3" to 8" diameters.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE Lubrication Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Schedule The bearings for the Model G1015 were lubricated and sealed at the factory. Merely leave them alone unless they need replacement. To lubricate the pivot arm bushing, remove the sanding arm assembly and pivot arm, then apply a light coat of multi-purpose grease to the outer surface of the bushing (see Figure 32).
