G9983 15" Open-End Wide-Belt Sander -17-
Dust Collection
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.
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.
Test Run
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.
To test run the sander:
1. Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
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.
