If sandpaper tears off the drums of your Grizzly Sander during operation, it could be due to a nail or staple in the workpiece. Ensure you sand only clean workpieces. Alternatively, the sandpaper may not be tightened or fastened correctly; install the sandpaper correctly.
What to do if my Grizzly Sander doesn't start?
If your Grizzly Sander machine does not start or a breaker trips, several factors could be at play. First, check the power plug and receptacle to ensure they have good contact and are wired correctly. A faulty start capacitor could also be the culprit, so test it and replace if needed. Inspect the motor connection for incorrect wiring, and correct it if necessary. Ensure your power supply is functional, with correct voltage on all legs. The safety switch key might be faulty, in which case you should install or replace it, or replace the switch assembly. The motor ON/OFF switch could also be the problem and may need replacement. Adjust or replace the centrifugal switch if it's at fault. Check for disconnected or corroded connections in the cable or wiring, and repair or replace any broken w...
Why does my Grizzly Sander stall or lack power?
If your Grizzly Sander is stalling or under-powered, several issues could be responsible. Ensure you are using wood with the correct moisture content and without glues or resins. Verify that the power supply voltage is adequate. A faulty run capacitor can cause this issue, so test and replace if necessary. Make sure to empty and clean the filter bag. Slipping V-belts can also lead to stalling, so replace any worn belts, align the pulleys, and re-tension the V-belts. Check the power plug and receptacle for good contact and correct wiring. Incorrect motor wiring could be the cause, so ensure it's properly connected. Inspect the motor bearings for noise or burning, and repair or replace as needed. Avoid overloading the machine by using new sandpaper with the appropriate grit and reducing the ...
