SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

General

Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time you use it. Check for the following condi- tions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Poor belt tensioning ⁄ tracking.

Lubrication

The motor and sanding arm bearings are shield- ed and pre-lubricated and require no lubrication.

The inside bore of the pivot arm is already coat- ed with grease which allows smooth movement of the arm around the bushing. In the event you need to disassemble the pivot arm at a later date, it is always a good idea to replace this grease (use a multi-purpose grease).

Belts and Drums

The sanding belt supplied with your G1015 is a 100 grit aluminum oxide belt suitable for general purpose wood sanding. Other applications, such as metal sanding and polishing will require differ- ent types of belts, both in composition and in grit. Please consult the latest Grizzly catalog for a complete selection of sanding media for all your project needs.

To replace the belt, see Section 4: Assembly Belt Installation.

If the replacement belt is a different length than the original belt, it may be necessary to re-adjust the upper assembly as described in the Section 5: Adjustments, Belt Tension.

Operating this equipment has the potential to launch flying debris which could cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass- es you wear meet the appropriate stan- dards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
