Test Run - Grizzly G1014Z Owner's Manual

Test Run

Once assembly is complete, test run the machine
to ensure it is properly connected to power and
safety components are functioning correctly.
If you find an unusual problem during the test run,
immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from
power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the
machine again. The Troubleshooting table in the
SERVICE section of this manual can help.
The Test Run consists of verifying the following: 1)
The belt tracks properly and will not come off the
rollers during initial startup, 2) the motor powers
up and runs correctly, and 3) the switch disabling
key disables the switch properly.
Serious injury or death can result from
using this machine BEFORE understanding
its controls and related safety information.
DO NOT operate, or allow others to operate,
machine until the information is understood.
DO NOT start machine until all preceding
setup instructions have been performed.
Operating an improperly set up machine
may result in malfunction or unexpect-
ed results that can lead to serious injury,
death, or machine/property damage.
To test run the machine:
1. Clear all setup tools away from machine.
2. Tie back loose clothing and long hair to pro-
tect yourself from getting caught in the mov-
ing belt and disc when you start the machine.
3.
Connect the machine to the power source.
Moving sanding belts are dangerously abra-
sive. Use extreme caution when working
near sanding surfaces.

4.
Verify that the machine is operating correctly
by turning it ON. Be ready to turn if OFF if
it tracks over the sanding belt frame edge.
The motor should run smoothly and without
unusual problems or noises.
— If the motor does not run smoothly, turn
the machine OFF and disconnect power.
Contact technical support.
5.
Loosen the lock nut on the tracking con-
trol knob, and carefully adjust the tracking
in small increments until the sanding belt
remains centered on the main roller (see
Figure 47, Page 28).
6. When the tracking is correct, allow the sander
to run for approximately one minute to verify
that the tracking stays in the correct position.
7.
When the sanding belt is tracking correctly,
tighten the lock nut on the tracking control
knob.
8. Turn the machine OFF, and remove the
switch disabling key, as shown in Figure 51.

9. Try to turn the start the sander with the pad-
dle switch.
— If the sander does not start, the switch
disabling feature is working as designed.
— If the sander starts, immediately stop the
machine. The switch disabling feature is
not working correctly. This safety feature
must work properly before proceeding with
regular operations. Call Tech Support for
help.
