SECTION 3: GENERAL INFORMATION

Commentary

We are proud to offer the Grizzly Model G1066/G1066Z/G1079 Drum Sander. Your machine 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.

This manual covers all three models because these machines are essentially the same except for the motor size, the size of stock they can han- dle, the rotation of the drums and the feed rates. A number of optional accessories for these machines are available through the Grizzly cata- log. Theses options include a complete selection of sanding paper, dust collection systems and a heavy-duty mobile base.

We are also pleased to provide this manual with the Model G1066/G1066Z/G1079. It was written to guide you through assembly, review safety considerations, and cover general operating pro- cedures. It represents our effort to produce the best documentation possible. If you have any comments regarding this manual, please write to us at the address below:
