Contour Sanding; Disc Sanding - Grizzly G1014Z Owner's Manual

Contour Sanding

Contour sanding operations can be performed
directly on the idler roller. Since the back stop
cannot be used for these operations, support
the workpiece against your workbench, if the
workpiece is large enough. Always use two hands
to control the workpiece.
To perform contour sanding:
1.
Use quick release tension lever to tension
sanding belt and refer to Tracking Belt
on Page 41 to make sure belt is tracking
correctly.
2.
Loosen the knobs that secure the idler roller
guard and sleeve guard assembly, then
remove the guard.
3. Turn the sander ON.
Figure 56. Example of contour sanding.
4.
Slowly feed the workpiece into the curved
end of the belt and continue moving the
workpiece profile along the contour until you
achieve your desired shape, as shown in
Figure 56.
Do not operate this machine when wearing
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry
that might get caught in the moving belt.
Serious injury may result. You must re-
install the idler roller guard before perform-
ing edge or horizontal sanding operations.
5.
Install the idler roller guard.

Disc Sanding

The sanding disc can be used to create flat,
smooth ends and edges of workpieces.
To reduce the risk of your fingers getting
trapped between the work table and sand-
ing disc, make sure the table is no more
than ⁄ " away from the sanding disc.

Always keep the workpiece on the left side
of the wheel that rotates down toward the
work table. This will keep the workpiece
from flying out of your hands due to kick-
back.
To use the sanding disc:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Adjust the angles of the work table and the
miter gauge for your operation.
3. Connect the sander to power, turn it ON, and
allow it to reach full speed.
4. Place the workpiece on the work table and
firmly against the miter gauge.
5. With light pressure, slowly move the workpiece
into the left side of the sanding disc. See
Figures 57–60 for examples of disc sanding.
