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.
Additional Safety Instructions for Sanders 1. BE AWARE OF DISC ROTATION when sanding. 7. DO NOT OPERATE SANDER with a damaged or badly worn disc or belt. 2. KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY from the moving disc. Serious injury could result if skin contacts abrasives or moving parts. 8. WHEN DISC SANDING, feed material into the portion of the disc spinning down toward the table. 3. NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE when sanding. Doing this greatly increases the chances of personal injury and motor overload. 9.
SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION If you have any comments regarding this manual, please write to us at the address below: Read the manual before assembly and operation. Serious personal injury may result if safety or operational information is not understood or followed. We are proud to offer the Model G7297 Disc Sander. This 12" disc sander is a part of a growing Grizzly family of fine woodworking machinery.
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 110 Volt Operation Amperage Draw The Model G7297 Disc Sander motor is wired to operate at 110V and will draw the following load: Motor Load............................................10 Amps Plug Type The Model G7297 Disc Sander is supplied with a NEMA 5-15 plug. See Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and grounded outlet. DO NOT modify the plug or power cord in any way. Circuit Breaker Requirements We recommend that you dedicate a circuit to your machine.
Grounding 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 tool 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. Electrocution or a fire can result if the machine is not grounded correctly. Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded. DO NOT use ungrounded machines.
SECTION 4: IDENTIFICATION 2 1 3 4 8 6 5 7 The following is a list of controls and components on the Model G7297 Disc Sander. Please take time to become familiar with each item and its location. These items will be used throughout the manual and knowing them is essential to understanding the instructions and terminology used in this manual. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
SECTION 5: SET UP G7297 Inventory Unpacking The machine is shipped from the manufacturer in a carefully packed cardboard box. If you discover the machine is damaged after you’ve 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.
Site Considerations Weight Load The Model G7297 Disc Sander is a small weight load with a small footprint. Most shop floors and workbenches should be sufficient to carry the weight of the machine. Reinforce the floor and workbench if you question its ability to support the weight. Working Clearance Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation.
SECTION 6: ADJUSTMENTS General Table Tilt This section will cover the basic adjustment instructions needed to begin operation. Complete the adjustments provided in this manual and then read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operation. When the table tilt is set to 0˚, the table should be adjusted perpendicular to the sanding disc face. To adjust table tilt: 1.
Miter Gauge The miter gauge needs to be adjusted perpendicular to the face of the wheel when it is mounted in the table slot. To adjust miter gauge: Attaching Sandpaper The Model G7297 Disc Sander accepts 12" diameter cloth or paper-backed PSA sanding discs. These are available in a variety of grits. See the current Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering information. 1.
3. Position the exposed adhesive on the upper half of the disc that extends above the table. Once it is positioned evenly across the disc, press the adhesive onto the surface. 4. Now rotate the disc so the lower half is now above the table. 5. Bend the paper back and remove the remaining half of the protective layer (Figure 6), and then press this portion against the disc. Aligning Table The table must be aligned to the face of the sanding disc so that the sandpaper does not rub against the table.
SECTION 7: OPERATIONS Disc Sanding General This section will cover basic disc sanding operations. Please read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operation. To perform sanding operations: 1. Set the angle of the table relative to the sanding disc. The angle can be set with the angle gauge on the disc sander or with a protractor for greater accuracy. 2.
Miter Sanding Angle Sanding 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: To perform angle sanding operations: To perform miter sanding operations: 1. Loosen the knob on the miter gauge and adjust the angle to the desired point. Tighten the knob. 2. Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it to hold your workpiece in position.
