Grizzly G9983 instruction manual Dust Collection Test Run, Before you test run your machine

Dust Collection Test Run

DO NOT operate the Model G9983 without an adequate dust collection system. This machine creates substantial amounts of wood dust while in operation. Failure to use a dust collection system may result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

The dust collection port is located on top of the sander and measures 5" in diameter. It will be necessary to attach a 5" dust collection pipe over this port before operation. If you have rigid ducts in your dust collection system, we recommend that you connect the ducts to your sander with flexible hose. The flex-hose easily attaches with a 5" hose clamp and it absorbs any movement that may occur during operation. Please refer to the Grizzly catalog for current price and ordering information.

Your dust collector must be able to move 800- 1200 CFM at the Wide-belt Sander. If you have a remotely located dust collector, or if you are operating more than one machine at a time, ensure that your dust collector has the capacity and power to meet this requirement. A fine layer of dust may be present on your stock as it comes out of the sander. This is normal.

Always wear a dust mask in addition to using a dust collector. Dust masks filter out the smaller particles of dust that dust collectors can- not trap.

Once the assembly is complete and the adjust- ments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the sander.

Before you test run your machine:

1.Read back through Section 1: Safety

Instructions, Section 4: Assembly, and the previous instructions in this section to make sure that all precautions have been taken for safe operation.

2.Make sure the machine is connected to an air compressor and the pressure gauge on the sander reads 75 PSI.

3.Make sure that any tools or foreign objects have been removed from the machine.

4.Last but not least, make sure the wiring is correct. Did you follow the instructions from Section 2: Circuit Requirements? If you are not confident with the wiring, go back and double check that all precautions have been taken to ensure safety to the operator and the circuit. When you are confident, connect the machine to the power source. The power indication light on the control panel should light up.

DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust any features of the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a rest before you do anything! Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.

To test run the sander:

1.Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
