To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is the conveyor belt on my Grizzly G9983 Sander not tracking in the center?
If the conveyor belt on your Grizzly Sander is not tracking in the center, the conveyor rollers may have moved out of adjustment. Re-adjust the conveyor rollers to correct the tracking.
What causes lines across the width of the workpiece with my Grizzly G9983?
Lines across the width of the workpiece when using your Grizzly Sander are typically caused by an open or damaged sanding belt seam. Repair or replace the sanding belt to fix this.
Why are there snake-shaped marks on the workpiece after using my Grizzly G9983?
Snake-shaped marks on the workpiece after using your Grizzly Sander indicate that the sanding belt is damaged or dirty. Clean or replace the sanding belt to eliminate these marks.
What causes straight strip of notches on workpiece with my Grizzly G9983 Sander?
A straight strip of notches on the workpiece when using your Grizzly Sander is often caused by dirty or damaged pressure rollers. Clean or repair the pressure rollers to resolve this issue.
What to do if my Grizzly G9983 motor won't start and the fuses blow?
If your Grizzly Sander motor won't start and the fuses or circuit breakers blow, there are several potential causes. First, check the power line for proper voltage. Inspect all lead connections on the motor for loose or open connections. Also, inspect the cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Check all connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Finally, ensure you have the correct fuses or circuit breakers installed.
Why are the edges of the wood rounded after sanding with my Grizzly G9983 Sander?
Rounded edges on the wood after sanding with your Grizzly Sander are likely due to an excessive depth of cut. Reduce the depth of cut to avoid this issue.
Why are there glossy spots or streaks on my workpiece after sanding with my Grizzly Sander?
Glossy spots or streaks on your workpiece after sanding with your Grizzly Sander can be caused by a worn sanding belt; replace it. Another cause could be a rear pressure roller set too low; raise it.
What to do if the sanding belt on my Grizzly Sander will not start?
If the sanding belt on your Grizzly Sander will not start, first, check if the sanding belt is tensioned and tension the sanding belt. Next, ensure that the limit switches are not engaged by centering the sanding belt. Finally, verify that the emergency stop plate is released.
Why are my Grizzly G9983 results poor and non-aggressive?
Poor sanding results from your Grizzly Sander may be due to an incorrectly adjusted platen. Adjust the platen to be on the same plane as, or lower than, the bottom surface level of the lower sanding rollers. A sanding belt loaded with sawdust can also cause this, so clean it. If the sanding belt is worn out, replace it.
What causes the sanding belt on my Grizzly G9983 to run off to one side?
If the sanding belt on your Grizzly Sander runs off to one side, stopping the sander, the air eye fork may be clogged; clean the intake hole. The oscillation return valve could be closed; open it. Incorrect oscillation timing can also cause this issue; adjust the oscillation timing.
