Clean Up The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Citrus Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts must be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces.
Mounting to Shop Floor Moving & Assembling Sander The center of gravity of the assembled sander is above the middle of the machine. Although not required, we strongly recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor to prevent tipping. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. The Model G0644 is a heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used.
4. With an assistant to steady the sanding assembly on the forks, lift and move it into position over the cabinet stand so that the mounting holes line up (see Figures 10 & 11). 5. Secure the sanding assembly to the cabinet stand with the four hex bolts and flat washers removed in Step 2. 6. Remove the four 10-24 x 3/8" cap screws and flat washers from the front of the conveyor, slide the conveyor front roller guard onto the conveyor, and secure it with the cap screws and flat washers (see Figure 10).
8. Note: The source of compressed air must provide a steady supply of clean, dry air at 57 PSI or more, not to exceed 120 PSI. Exceeding 120 PSI may result in unpredictable operation of the sander and damage to the pneumatic system. 9. Dust Collection Connect a source of compressed air to the air regulator inlet valve on the back of the machine.
Test Run ����� Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motors power up and run correctly, 2) the EMERGENCY STOP button safety feature works correctly, and 3) the conveyor switch disabling mechanism works correctly. ��������������������� Figure 15. Resetting the EMERGENCY STOP switch. 7.
Recommended Adjustments 11. Turn the conveyor ON and verify that it operates correctly. 12. Turn the conveyor belt OFF, and remove the switch disabling key, as shown in Figure 16. For your convenience, the adjustments listed below have been performed at the factory and no further setup is required to operate your machine. However, because of the many variables involved with shipping, some of these adjustments may need to be repeated to ensure optimum results.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Safety Sanding Overview To begin the sanding operation: Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection when operating this machine. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving machinery. NOTICE 1.
choosing sandpaper sanding belt replacement Choosing Sandpaper Sanding Belt Replacement Sanding Belt Size ............................ 16"W x 48"L There are many types of sanding belts to choose from. We recommend aluminum oxide for general workshop environments. Figure 17 lists groups of abrasives into different classes and shows which grits fall into each class. Grit Class Usage 36 Extra Coarse Rough sawn boards, thickness sanding, and glue removal.
4. Use the sanding belt tension lever to remove the tension on the sanding belt. 6. a. Slightly lift the tension lever, and move it to the right. b. Use moderate force to push the tension lever down, then secure it under the bottom catch, as shown in Figure 19. Slide the new sanding belt onto the upper sanding roller and sanding drum, then position it on the upper sanding roller so that it is just past the left oscillation disc, as shown in Figure 20.
depth of cut conveyor feed rate Conveyor Speed Depth of Cut The conveyor speed dial (see Figure 21) adjusts the feed rate from 5–17 FPM. The correct speed to use depends on the type of stock you are using (hardwood vs. softwood) and the stage of finish for the workpiece. Recommended maximum depth of cut .......................... Approximately 1⁄64" (0.
The amp load meter on the control panel (see Figure 23) shows how much amperage the sanding motor is drawing for the operation. When the depth of cut or conveyor feed rate becomes too great, the sanding motor will draw an excessive power load, which may trip the circuit breaker or damage the machine. Sanding Tips Follow these instructions to ensure safe sanding operation and quality results: • Replace the sandpaper with a higher grit to achieve a finer finish (refer to Choosing Sandpaper on Page 20).
• When sanding workpieces with irregular widths, take very light sanding passes to prevent gouges. As the width of the workpiece decreases, the load on the sanding motor will reduce and the sanding drum will speed up, causing a gouge. • DO NOT edge sand boards. This can cause boards to kickback, and may result in serious personal injury. Edge sanding boards also can cause damage to the conveyor belt and sandpaper.
ACCESSORIES SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES G8027—1 HP Dust Collector A great little workhorse at an incredible price! This is a great machine for sanders, router tables, shapers, and other work.

Decrease conveyor speed (feed rate). 3. Conveyor speed too fast for task. 4. Seal all leaks, size ducts correctly, eliminate bends, 4.
tensioning & tracking Conveyor Belt Tensioning 3. Turn both of the adjustment bolts clockwise one full turn at a time until the conveyor belt no longer slips during operation. Note: Make sure the distance of the reference measurement taken in Step 1 is the same on both sides. The conveyor belt may stretch with extended use, causing it to slip on the conveyor rollers. If this happens, the conveyor belt will need to be retensioned.
gib adjustment conveyor tracking Conveyor Belt Tracking If the conveyor belt tracks to either side, the belt could become damaged and have to be replaced. Adjusting the conveyor belt tracking is a balancing process that takes patience and some trial-anderror. You must tighten the loose side adjusting bolt (the side the belt is tracking towards) to make the belt move to the middle of the rollers, then loosen that same adjusting bolt to make the conveyor stay in position.
conveyor & drum parallel Sanding Drum & Conveyor Parallelism The sanding drum and conveyor must be parallel to one another to obtain accurate sanding results. This setting is made at the factory and should not have to be made again. However, if it is necessary to adjust the sanding drum and conveyor parallel to each other, follow the procedure below. To adjust the sanding drum and conveyor parallelism: Note: Use the measurements you recorded when checking the parallelism in the previous procedure. 1.
air pressure switch depth of cut safety bar Air Pressure Safety Switch Adjusting Depth Of Cut Safety Bar The sanding motor safety brake and the sanding belt oscillation system require at least 57 PSI of air pressure connected to the machine to operate correctly. The air pressure safety switch (see Figure 36) measures the amount of air pressure flowing into the machine. If there is not adequate air pressure, the air pressure safety switch will not allow power to flow to the sander.
adjusting pressure rollers 5. 6. Place the sanded workpiece under the sanding drum and lower the sanding cabinet until the sanding drum is just touching the workpiece. Remove the workpiece from under the sanding drum and position it directly under the depth of cut safety bar. 7. Loosen the three hex bolts securing the safety bar. 8. Use feeler gauges to raise the safety bar approximately 3⁄64" (0.047") above the workpiece from side-to-side. 9. Re-tighten the hex bolts. 10.
Replacing Conveyor Belt 3. Use a 10mm wrench to loosen the conveyor adjusting jam nuts (left and right), then release the tension on the conveyor belt by loosening the tension adjusting hex bolts (see Figure 41).
