What to do if my Grizzly G1014Z does not start?
- R
  Robin LivingstonJul 26, 2025
  If your Grizzly Sander isn't starting, several issues could be the cause. First, check if the switch disabling key is installed and remove it. For the G1014ZX model, ensure the motor cord is connected to the power cord. Verify that the power supply is switched on and has the correct voltage. Check the plug/receptacle for faults and correct wiring if necessary. Also, inspect the motor wiring connections and correct them if needed. Make sure the wall circuit breaker hasn't tripped and that the circuit size is correct. Inspect for broken, disconnected, or corroded wires. Test or replace the start capacitor if faulty, and replace the switch if necessary. If none of these steps work, the motor itself may be at fault, and you should test, repair, or replace it.

Check the belt for slipping; tension or replace it and ensure the pulleys are aligned. Verify that the motor is wired correctly. If the pulley is slipping on the shaft, replace the loose pulley or shaft. Test the plug and receptacle for good contacts and correct wiring if needed. If the motor bearings are at fault, test, repair, or replace them. If the motor is overheated, clean it, let it cool, and reduce the workload. If none of thes...

  If your Grizzly Sander vibrates or operates noisily, several factors could be responsible. Start by inspecting all motor components for looseness; replace any damaged bolts or nuts and re-tighten using thread-locking fluid. Inspect the V-belt for wear or looseness and replace if necessary. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured using the correct holding fixture. Check the pulley for looseness; realign or replace the shaft, pulley, setscrew, and key. Adjust the feet, shim, or tighten the mounting hardware to ensure the sander is correctly mounted to the workbench. If the motor fan is rubbing on the fan cover, fix or replace the fan cover and replace any loose or damaged fan. Tighten or replace a loose or broken motor mount. If the sanding disc is out of balance or loose, tighten the disc ...
