SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are 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.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Safety Instructions For Drum / Flap Sanders 1. BE AWARE OF DRUM OR FLAP ATTACHMENT ROTATION DIRECTION when sanding. 2. KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. 3. 4. 5. NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN SANDING. Doing so greatly increases the chance of personal injury, mechanical damage, or damage to your workpiece. ALWAYS FEED YOUR WORKPIECE AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION. DEVELOP GOOD HABITS IN YOUR SHOP and safety will become secondnature to you. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.
SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION Commentary We are proud to offer the Grizzly Model G0518 Drum / Flap Sander. The Model G0518 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. Grizzly is also pleased to provide this manual with the Model G0518.
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 110V Operation Amperage Draw The Model G0518 is prewired to operate at 110V, with an amperage draw of approximately 12A. Plug Type The Model G0518 is supplied with a NEMA 5-15 plug. DO NOT modify the plug or power cord in any way. See Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and grounded outlet. Circuit Breaker Requirements We recommend operating the machine on a dedicated circuit. Because the machine draws 12A when operated at 110V, use a 15A circuit breaker.
220V Operation NOTICE If a 220V power source will be used, rewire the power switch before assembling the motor to the stand. See Page 26 for complete instructions on rewiring the sander. Amperage Draw The Model G0518 can be rewired to operate at 220V, with an amperage draw of approximately 6A. Plug Type If the Model G0518 is rewired to operate at 220V, the existing plug must be replaced with a NEMA 6-15 plug. A suitable 220V power source must be used along with a properly grounded outlet.
Grounding Extension Cord In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Clean Up Site Considerations Unpainted surfaces may be coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this waxy oil with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. The machine will operate best when the waxy oil is removed from all moving and sliding parts. Chlorine-based cleaners and solvents will damage the painted surfaces of the machine.
