If the motor doesn't start, the limit switch or emergency stop may be engaged; correct the situation and reset the emergency stop button. Also, check the power line for proper voltage. Inspect all lead connections on the motor for loose or open connections.
Why does the sanding belt on my Grizzly G0581 keep clogging quickly?
A sanding belt might clog quickly if the grit is too small for the job, so replace it with a coarser grit. Also, reduce the depth of cut, or allow the wood to dry out if it's too moist.
What to do if my Grizzly G0581 Sander motor stalls and blows fuses?
If the motor stalls, inspect the motor connections for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Ensure that you correct any low voltage conditions. Install correct fuses or circuit breakers. Reduce the load on the motor.
Why does my Grizzly G0581 motor overheat?
The motor may be overloaded; reduce the load. Another possible cause is restricted air circulation through the motor; clean out the motor to ensure normal air circulation.
What to do if my Grizzly G0581 Sander motor won't start and the fuses blow?
Inspect the cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Inspect all connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Make sure the correct fuses or circuit breakers are installed.
How to fix a Grizzly G0581 when the sanding belt runs off to one side?
If the sanding belt runs off to one side, clean the intake hole on the air eye fork. Ensure the oscillation return valve is open. Adjust the oscillation timing.
Why is my Grizzly G0581 machine slowing down when operating?
The feed rate may be too high, so feed the workpiece slower. Also, the depth of cut may be too great, so reduce it.
How to fix loud noise coming from my Grizzly G0581?
Inspect keys and set screws on the pulleys; replace or tighten if necessary. Check if the motor fan is hitting the cover and tighten the fan or shim the cover. Replace the V-belt if it's defective.
