Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make  
sure your extension cord is in good condi-  
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance 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 exten-  
sion cords if they become damaged.  
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.  
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-  
mended accessories. The use of improper  
accessories may cause risk of injury.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-  
AL STARTING. On machines with magnet-  
ic contact starting switches there is a risk of  
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.  
Always disconnect from power source  
before adjusting or servicing. Make sure  
switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.  
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords  
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-  
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part  
that is damaged should be carefully  
checked to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended function.  
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,  
mounting, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or other  
part that is damaged should be properly  
repaired or replaced.

Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders  
DO NOT allow anyone to stand near the  
sander while sanding wood stock.  
NEVER leave the machine running unat-  
tended.  
DO NOT jam the workpiece against the  
sanding belt. Firmly grasp the workpiece in  
both hands and ease it against the sanding  
belt, using light pressure.  
REPLACE sanding belt when it becomes  
worn.  
NEVER sand more than one piece of stock  
at a time.  
DO NOT wear loose clothing while operat-  
ing this machine. Roll up or button sleeves  
at the cuff.  
ALWAYS inspect board stock for nails,  
staples, knots, and other imperfections that  
could be dislodged and thrown from the  
machine during sanding operations.  
DO NOT place hands near, or in contact  
with, sanding belt during operation.  
NEVER operate the sander without an  
adequate dust collection system in place  
and running.  
ANY PROBLEM, with the exception of belt  
tracking, that is concerned at all with any  
moving parts or accessories must be  
investigated and corrected with the power  
disconnected, and after everything has  
come to a complete stop.  
NEVER sand tapered or pointed stock with  
the point facing the feed direction.  
ALWAYS wear a dust mask when sand-  
ing. Using this machine produces sawdust  
which may cause allergic reactions or res-  
piratory problems.  
PERFORM machine inspections and main-  
tenance service promptly when called for.  
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-  
ciated with the Edge Sander. Accidents are  
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or  
failure to pay attention. Use this tool with  
respect and caution to lessen the possibil-  
ity of operator injury. If normal safety pre-  
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-  
ous personal injury may occur.  
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.  
Every shop environment is different. Always  
consider safety first, as it applies to your  
individual working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and respect.  
Failure to do so could result in serious per-  
sonal injury, damage to equipment or poor  
work results.

This sander was developed for those projects  
that require a large support area and need the  
workpiece to be moved around the roller. The  
specially designed small 212" edge diameter  
roller allows you to get into tighter radius projects  
like guitar bodies, curved chair legs etc.... The  
table is supported in four positions to eliminate  
sagging and to provide a stable base while  
working, and the quick belt release mechanism  
makes it easy to change belts fast.

Grounding  
Extension Cords  
In the event of an electrical short, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a  
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-  
rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that  
has a plug with an equipment-grounding prong.  
The outlet must be properly installed and ground-  
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-  
nances.  
220V Operation  
We do not recommend the use of extension cords  
on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-  
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to  
eliminate the need for extension cords.  
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an  
extension cord at 220V with your Grizzly Edge  
Sander:  
Make sure the cord is rated for Standard  
Service (grade S) or better.  
Electrocution or fire could  
result if this machine is  
not grounded correctly.  
Make sure all electrical  
circuits are grounded  
before you connect them  
to the machine. DO NOT  
use this machine if it is  
not grounded.  
The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug prong.  
Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50  
feet long or less.  
Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is  
between 51-100 feet.  
110V Operation  
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord  
at 110V with your Grizzly Edge Sander:  
Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service  
(grade S) or better.  
The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug pin.  
Use at least a 10 gauge cord if the cord is 50  
feet long or less.  
DO NOT use a cord longer that 50 feet!  
This machine must have a ground prong in  
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.  
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to  
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will  
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet  
installed by a qualified electrician.

Clean Up  
Site Considerations  
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy  
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-  
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-  
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as  
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,  
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-  
mum performance from your machine, make  
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding  
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-  
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted  
surfaces should they come in contact.  
Floor Load  
The Model G0512 weighs 235 lbs. and has a  
1412" x 32" footprint on the bottom of the stand.  
Most commercial floors are suitable for your  
machine. Some residential floors may require  
additional build up to support both the machine  
and operator.  
Working Clearances  
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of  
material to be processed through each machine,  
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or  
other machinery when establishing a location for  
your bandsaw.  
Do not use gasoline or  
other petroleum-based  
solvents to clean with.  
They have low flash  
points which make them  
extremely flammable. A  
risk of explosion and  
burning exists if these  
products are used.  
Lighting and Outlets  
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate  
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits  
should be dedicated or large enough to handle  
amperage requirements. Outlets should be locat-  
ed near each machine so power or extension  
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe  
local electrical codes for proper installation of  
new lighting, outlets, or circuits.  
Do not smoke while using  
solvents. A risk of explo-  
sion or fire exists and may  
result in serious personal  
injury.  
Unsupervised children and  
visitors inside your shop  
could cause serious person-  
al injury to themselves. Lock  
all entrances to the shop  
when you are away and DO  
NOT allow unsupervised  
children or visitors in your  
shop at any time!  
Many of the solvents  
commonly used to clean  
machinery can be toxic  
when inhaled or ingest-  
ed. Lack of ventilation  
while using these sol-  
vents could cause seri-  
ous personal health risks  
or fire. Take precautions  
from this hazard by only  
using cleaning solvents  
in a well ventilated area.

Installing Roller  
Guard  
Test Run & Tracking  
Before you can install the table, you must run the  
sander to track the belt. However, you should  
perform a “pre-tracking” procedure before starting  
the sander to ensure that the belt does not come  
off of or bottom out on the rollers during the initial  
startup.  
To install the roller guard:  
1. Place the guard on top of the idler roller and  
secure it in position with the included small  
star knob, as shown in Figure 10.  
To pretrack the belt:  
1. Make sure that the sander is disconnect-  
ed from the power!  
2. Loosen the tracking lock knob.  
3. Standing in front of the sander, push the  
sanding belt multiple times along the platen,  
so that it moves in the direction of operation  
(counter-clockwise on the rollers), and watch  
how the belt tracks on the rollers.  
4. Adjust the tracking higher or lower as need-  
ed and continue to rotate the belt by hand.  
Figure 10. Idler roller guard installed and  
secured in position with small star knob.  
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until the top of the sand-  
ing belt rides even with the top of the main  
roller as shown in Figure 11.

To test run and track the belt:  
Installing Table  
1. Make sure the belt is properly pre-tracked as  
described previously.  
Before installing the table, the sanding belt must  
be tracking correctly to ensure that the idler roller  
is close to the position that it will be in during  
operation.  
2. Tie back loose clothing and long hair to pro-  
tect yourself from getting caught in the mov-

Installing Back Stop Connecting to Dust  
Collection System  
To install the back stop:  
The dust port can be connected to a dust collec-  
tion system with a 4" hose. However, in order to  
move the dust from the sander, the dust collec-  
tion system must be able to move approximately  
500 CFM where the hose connects to the dust  
port. Note—This number is an approximation and  
is used for estimation purposes only.  
1. Use a machinists square to position the back  
stop perpendicular to the platen, on the end  
of the table that is near the ON/OFF switch.  
2. Secure the backstop to the table with three

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS  
Your safety is important! Please follow the  
warnings below:  
Power Switch  
Besides starting and stopping the sander, the  
power switch features an important safety lockout  
key. This key can be removed (as shown in  
Figure 21) to disable the sander so that it cannot  
be accidentally started.  
Operating this equipment creates the  
potential for flying debris to cause eye  
injury. Always wear safety glasses when  
operating equipment. Everyday glasses or  
reading glasses only have impact resistant  
lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be cer-  
tain the safety glasses you wear meet the  
appropriate standards of the American  
National Standards Institute (ANSI).  
Keep loose clothing out  
of the way of machinery  
and keep hair pulled  
back during operations.  
Figure 21. Safety key removed from switch.  
Sanding surfaces are capable of causing  
serious personal injury if they come in con-  
tact with fingers, hands, or other body  
parts. Use extreme care to provide a large  
buffer area between the sanding belt and  
any part of your body.  
Using this machine pro-  
duces sawdust that may  
cause short and long-  
term respiratory illness.  
Always wear a dust mask  
when operating this  
machine.

Adjusting Table  
Height  
Sanding Belt  
Selection  
The table can be adjusted up or down to allow the  
operator to use more surface area of the sanding  
belt. Adjusting the height will also prevent the  
platen graphite and sanding belt from wearing out  
in one place.  
The Model G0512 accepts a 6" x 80" sanding  
belt.  
There are many types of sanding belts to choose  
from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide for gener-  
al workshop environments. Below is a chart that  
groups abrasive types into different classes, and  
shows which grits fall into each class.  
To adjust the table:  
1. Loosen the lock handles that secure the L  
supports and the lead screw.  
Grit  
Type  
2. Turn the lead screw handwheel (shown in  
Figure 22) to raise or lower the table to the  
desired height.  
60  
Coarse  
80-100  
120-180

The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece  
with progressively higher grit numbers, with no  
one grit increase of more than 50.

Edge & End Sanding  
Keep loose clothing out  
of the way of machinery  
and keep hair pulled  
back during operations!  
Figure 23. Typical edge sanding operation.  
To perform an edge or end sanding operation:  
1. Make sure the vertical tracking on the sand-  
ing belt is set.  
2. Start the sander by pulling the switch up.  
3. Support the workpiece against the back stop,  
keep your fingers away from the moving belt  
and slowly feed the workpiece into the mov-  
ing belt, as shown in Figures 23 & 24.  
Figure 24. Typical end sanding operation.  
If you must feed a workpiece into the sand-  
ing belt corner first, feed the trailing corner  
first. Feeding the leading corner first, could  
cause the sanding belt to grab the work-  
piece and jerk it out of your hands.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE  
Lubrication  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
Bearings  
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently  
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they  
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.  
Table Height Lead Screw  
Wipe off built-up sawdust and lubricate with an  
occasional shot of white lithium grease. After  
lubricating, be sure to move the lead screw  
through the full range of motion that it can travel,  
so that the grease is spread evenly.  
General  
Regular periodic maintenance on your Grizzly  
Edge Sander will ensure its optimum perfor-  
mance. Make a habit of inspecting your sander  
each time you use it. Check for the following con-  
ditions and repair or replace when necessary.  
1. Loose mounting bolts.  
2. Worn switch.  
Sanding Belt  
The sanding belt should be regularly cleaned as  
it becomes clogged with sawdust. Clean the  
sanding belt with PRO STIK® belt cleaners  
(Model G1511/G1512). Belts that are regularly  
cleaned have a much longer useful life, than belts  
that are neglected. See page 31 for more detail  
on PRO STIKbelt cleaners.  
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
4. Any other condition that could hamper the  
safe operation of this machine.  
Table  
The laminate surface on the table can be wiped  
clean with a dry towel or cleaned with a solvent  
designed to remove wood resins if the table is  
gummy.  
DO NOT expose the underside of the table to  
water because it may warp.

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS  
Adjusting Tensioner  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
The belt tensioner is normally adjusted as the belt  
stretches. Two good indications of belt stretch (or  
a loose belt) are if the belt slaps against the plat-  
en while running or if it slips on the rollers.  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
On the other hand, if the belt tension is too tight,  
you will have a hard time installing and removing  
the belt when the belt tension is released.  
About Service  
To adjust the belt tensioner:  
This section is designed to help the operator with  
adjustments that were made at the factory and  
might also need to be made during the life of the  
machine.  
1. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source!  
2. Lower the table as far as it will go.  
This section is provided for your convenience—it  
is not a substitute for the Grizzly Service  
Department. If any adjustments arise that are not  
described in this manual, then feel free to call the  
Grizzly Service Department.  
3. Loosen the tracking lock knob, release the  
belt tension, and remove the sanding belt  
from the sander.  
4. Move the belt tension lever to the position  
Similarly, if you are unsure of how to perform any  
procedure in this section, the Grizzly Service  
Department will be happy to guide you through  
the procedures or help in any other way.  
where the belt is normally tensioned.  
5. Locate the belt tension nut and the tracking  
control bolt shown in Figure 35.

6. Rotate the tension nut counter-clockwise to  
increase the tension and clockwise to  
decrease the tension.  
Resetting Tensioner  
Spring Tension  
Decreased Tension: If you rotated the  
tension nut clockwise, move the belt ten-  
sion lever to the release position. If it is  
not too stiff, continue to step 7. If it is too  
stiff to move comfortably, then either the  
shaft spring tension needs to be reset, the  
tension shaft needs lubrication, or the  
idler roller-to-platen relationship needs to  
be adjusted (page 29-30).  
The tensioner spring (shown in Figure 36)  
applies pressure to the sanding belt when the  
belt tension lever is in the tension position. When  
repeated adjustments are made to the tensioner  
nut, the spring tension may lose the original set-  
ting from the factory, at which point it will need to  
be reset.  
Increased Tension: If you rotated the ten-  
sion nut counter-clockwise, check the  
beginning movement of the belt tension  
lever. If there is no play in the first 2" of  
travel, continue to step 7. If there is play  
in the first 2", then the tension shaft spring  
tension needs to be reset, as described in  
the next sub-section.  
Tracking Control Bolt  
7. Replace the sanding belt and examine the  
effect of the tension adjustment on your belt.  
Repeat the adjustment procedure if neces-  
sary.  
Tensioner Spring

tracking control bolt.  
To reset the tensioner spring:  
1. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source!  
2. Remove the table from the sander.  
3. Loosen the tracking lock knob and remove  
the sanding belt from the sander.  
4. Move the belt tension lever to the tension  
position.

5. Turn the tension nut counter-clockwise until  
the threads of the tension shaft are flush with  
the nut, as shown in Figure 37.  
Parallel Belt  
Tracking  
The belt should track on the rollers so that the top  
edge of the sanding belt stays parallel with the  
top edge of the platen graphite, as illustrated in  
Figure 38.  
Figure 37. Tension nut flush with threads.  
6. Loosen the tracking control bolt (Figure 36,  
page 25).  
7. Pull on the idler roller to take up the slack in  
the tension shaft.  
8. Tighten the tracking control bolt.  
Figure 38. Illustration of parallel belt tracking.  
9. Turn the tension nut clockwise approximate-  
To check the parallel tracking of the sanding  
belt:  
ly three full turns.  
10. Engage and disengage the belt tension  
lever, then tighten the tension nut two more  
full turns.  
Track the sanding belt, so that the side of the belt  
that is tracking higher is even with the top of the  
graphite.  
11. Adjust the idler roller-to-platen relationship  
as described on pages 29-30.  
— If the lower side of the belt is more than  
1
8" away from the top of the graphite, write  
down the distance between the low side  
of the belt and the top of the platen, then  
proceed with the parallel belt tracking  
instructions.  
12. Install the sanding belt and table, and track  
the sanding belt before operating the  
sander. Note—It may be necessary to slight-  
ly adjust the tension nut to make the table fit.  
— If the lower side of the belt is less than 18  
"
away from the top of the graphite, then  
you do not need to adjust your belt for  
parallel tracking.

To adjust the parallel tracking of the sanding  
belt:  
6. Thread in the necessary two of the four par-  
allel tracking setscrews approximately 14-12  
turn, as discussed below.  
a
1. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source!  
— If the low side of the belt was on the left  
end of the sander (as you are standing in  
front), then thread the two bottom  
setscrews into the plate (clockwise) and  
unthread (counter-clockwise) the two top  
setscrews out of the plate in the same  
amount of turns as the bottom setscrews.  
2. Remove the dust port.  
3. Remove the table by removing the lock han-  
dles, but keeping the L support brackets and  
elevation plate attached to the table as  
shown in Figure 39.  
— If the low side of the of the belt was on the  
right end of the sander (as you are stand-  
ing in front), then evenly thread the two  
top setscrews into the plate (clockwise)  
and evenly unthread (counter-clockwise)  
the two bottom setscrews out of the plate  
in the same amount of turns as the top  
setscrews.  
7. Tighten the two cap screws shown in Figure  
40.  
8. Replace and track the belt with the tracking  
knob, so the side of the belt that is tracking  
higher (if it is) is even with the top of the  
graphite.  
Figure 39. Table removed w/attached supports.  
4. Remove the sanding belt.  
— If the lower side of the belt is less than 18  
"
away from the top of the graphite, then  
you do not need to make further adjust-  
ments for parallel tracking.  
5. Loosen the two cap screws (shown with  
black arrows in Figure 40) approximately  
half a turn, and notice the four setscrews  
nearby (shown with white arrows in Figure  
40)—these control the parallel tracking of the  
sanding belt.  
— If the lower side of the belt is still more  
than 18" away from the top of the graphite,  
estimate how much the belt moved from  
when you originally checked it. Compare  
this movement with how much you turned  
the two setscrews in step 6, and then  
repeat steps 4-7, but adjust the  
setscrews discussed in step 6 the  
amount that you estimate will fix the par-  
allel tracking. Repeat as necessary until  
the parallel tracking is correct.

4. Now place the straightedge across the BOT-  
TOM part of the platen graphite and the main  
roller as shown in Figure 42. Measure the  
gap, if there is one, between the straightedge  
and the main roller.  
Platen-to-Rollers  
Adjustments  
The platen can be adjusted forward or backward  
in relation to the main and idler rollers. When the  
platen is correctly adjusted, it should extend  
beyond the rollers approximately 18". If the platen  
extends beyond this, the belt will stretch and the  
graphite pad will wear quicker.  
Because the idler roller is attached to the platen,  
it will need to be adjusted independently to com-  
plete this procedure.  
Also, if the main roller is not vertically parallel with  
the platen, the motor will need to be adjusted on  
the motor mount to complete this procedure.  
Figure 42. Checking bottom of platen-to-roller.  
Instructions for all three adjustments will be given  
below. First, check the platen-to-roller relation-  
ship to see if you need to make the adjustments.  
5. Analyze the results of your check in steps 3-  
4, using the criteria below:  
Correct  
Platen-to-Main  
Roller  
To check the platen-to-main roller relation-  
ship:  
Relationship: The distance between the  
straightedge and the main roller is  
approximately 18" at both the top and bot-  
tom. No adjustments are necessary to  
the platen position or the main roller posi-  
tion.  
1. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source!  
2. Remove the sanding belt and dust port.  
Platen Incorrect: The distances between  
the straightedge and the main roller at  
both the top and bottom are more or less  
than 18", but the distances at both the top  
and bottom are approximately the same.  
The platen needs to be adjusted.  
3. Place a straightedge across the TOP part of  
the platen graphite and the main roller as  
shown in Figure 41. Measure the gap, if  
there is one, between the straightedge and  
the main roller.  
Main Roller Incorrect: The distance  
between the straightedge and the main  
roller is different at the top than it is at the  
bottom. The main roller needs to be  
adjusted.  
To check the platen-to-idler roller relation-  
ship:  
1. Follow steps 1–2 from the previous instruc-  
tions.
