SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
General
Make a habit of inspecting your sander each

tions and repair or replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Poor belt tensioning ⁄ tracking.
Lubrication
Belts and Drums
The sanding belt supplied with your G1015 is a
100 grit aluminum oxide belt suitable for general
purpose wood sanding. Other applications, such
as metal sanding and polishing will require differ-
ent types of belts, both in composition and in grit.
Please consult the latest Grizzly catalog for a
complete selection of sanding media for all your
project needs.
To replace the belt, see Section 4: Assembly
Belt Installation.
If the replacement belt is a different length than
the original belt, it may be necessary to re-adjust
the upper assembly as described in the Section
5: Adjustments, Belt Tension.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to launch flying debris which could cause
eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or
goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
The motor and sanding arm bearings are shield-
ed and pre-lubricated and require no lubrication.
The inside bore of the pivot arm is already coat-
ed with grease which allows smooth movement of
the arm around the bushing. In the event you
need to disassemble the pivot arm at a later date,
it is always a good idea to replace this grease
(use a multi-purpose grease).
