  If your Grizzly Sander motor won't start and the fuses or circuit breakers are blowing, it could be due to several reasons. First, inspect the line cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Second, check all connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Finally, ensure that you have the correct fuses or circuit breakers installed in the power line.

  Edward WestAug 20, 2025
  Your Grizzly Sander motor might stall due to several reasons, leading to blown fuses or a tripped circuit. Begin by inspecting the motor connections for loose or shorted terminals, or worn insulation. Also, low voltage could be a contributing factor, so correct any low voltage conditions. Ensure that the fuses or circuit breakers in the power line are the correct ones. Finally, the motor might be overloaded, so reduce the load.

  Martin HughesAug 23, 2025
  If your Grizzly Sander motor overheats, it could be because the motor is overloaded, so you should reduce the load on the motor. Another possible cause is restricted air circulation through the motor. If this is the case, clean out the motor to allow normal air circulation.

Why does my Grizzly G8749 Sander motor fail to develop full power?

  joel96Aug 26, 2025
  If the Grizzly Sander motor fails to develop full power, it may be due to an overloaded power line with lights, appliances, and other motors; try reducing the load on the power line. Another potential cause is undersized wires or circuits that are too long; consider increasing wire sizes or reducing the wire length. It could also be due to general overloading of power company facilities; in that case, request a power check from the power company.

What to do if the sanded surface from my Grizzly G8749 Sander has grooves or scratches?
- L
  lauranicholsonAug 30, 2025
  If the sanded surface has grooves or scratches, it could be that the sanding sleeve has a tear or something is embedded in the surface of the sleeve; if so, replace the sanding sleeve. It could also be that the workpiece is not being moved across the flap or drum surface; gently sweep the workpiece from right to left over the surface of the drum or flap attachment.
