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 my Grizzly Sander motor will not start and the fuses or circuit breakers blow?
If your Grizzly Sander motor refuses to start and the fuses or circuit breakers are blowing, here are a few things to check: * Inspect the line cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires, as there may be a short circuit in the line cord or plug. * Inspect all connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation, as there may be a short circuit in the motor or loose connections. * Make sure you have the correct fuses or circuit breakers installed in the power line. If not, install the correct ones.
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.
Why am I getting poor, non-aggressive sanding results with my Grizzly Sander?
Poor, non-aggressive sanding results with your Grizzly Sander may be due to: * The platen being adjusted incorrectly, above the bottom surface level of the lower sanding rollers. Adjust the platen on the same plane as, or lower than, the bottom surface level of the lower rollers. * The sanding belt being loaded with sawdust. Clean the sanding belt to unload the sawdust. * The sanding belt being worn out. Replace the sanding belt with a new one.
Why is my Grizzly Sander machine slowing down when operating?
If your Grizzly Sander slows down during operation, it may be because the feed rate is too high. Try feeding the workpiece slower and monitor the load meter. Alternatively, the depth of cut may be too great, so reduce the depth of cut and observe the load meter.
What causes edges of wood to be rounded when using my Grizzly Sander?
Rounded edges on wood after using your Grizzly Sander are likely due to an excessive depth of cut. Reduce the depth of cut.
Why are my Grizzly Sander's conveyor belt slipping?
If your Grizzly Sander's conveyor belt is slipping, it might be because: * The conveyor rollers have incorrect tension. Adjust the conveyor rollers to increase tension. * The conveyor rollers are contaminated with dirt or dust. Clean the conveyor rollers.
Why is the workpiece slipping on the feed belt of my Grizzly G9983 Sander?
If the workpiece is slipping on the feed belt of your Grizzly Sander, the pressure rollers may be set too high; lower them. A dirty feed belt can also cause slipping, so clean it. If the feed belt is worn, replace it.
How to prevent my Grizzly G9983 Sander belt from clogging too fast?
If your sanding belt is clogging quickly, it could be that the sanding belt grit is too small for the job. Replace it with a coarser grit belt. Also, excessive depth of cut can cause clogging, so reduce it. Finally, if the wood is too moist, allow it to dry out before sanding.
What to do if my Grizzly G9983 Sander slows down during operation?
If your Grizzly Sander slows down while you're using it, the feed rate might be too high. Try feeding the workpiece slower and watch the load meter. Alternatively, the depth of cut may be too great; reduce it and monitor the load meter.
