Safety Instructions for Machinery
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS.
You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching
live electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Metalworking Grinders
Serious injury or death can occur from fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair getting pinched/
entangled in rotating belt or other moving components. Abrasion injuries can occur from
touching moving grinding belt with bare skin. Workpieces thrown by grinding belt can strike
operator or bystanders with moderate force, causing impact injuries. Long-term respiratory
damage can occur from using grinder without proper use of a respirator. To reduce the risk of
these hazards, operator or bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between
moving grinding belt and fixed table/support creates a pinch point for fingers or workpieces; the
larger this gap is, the greater the risk of fingers or
workpieces getting caught in it. Minimize this risk
by adjusting table/support to no more than
away from belt.
HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating belt can remove
skin quickly. Always keep hands away from moving belt during operation. Stop machine to clean
dust from table.
GRINDING DUST. Grinding creates large amounts
of dust that can lead to eye injury or respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by always wearing
approved eye and respiratory protection when
using grinder. Never operate without adequate
dust collection system in place and running. Only
use a system rated for metal dust collection that
has not been previously used for wood dust collection. However, a dust collector is not a substitute
for using a respirator.
1
⁄16"
FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming
workpiece into abrasive surface could cause it
to be grabbed aggressively, pulling hands into
abrasive surface. Firmly grasp workpiece in both
hands and ease it into belt using light pressure.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entangled in moving parts can cause pinching injuries.
To avoid these hazards, keep all guards in place
and closed. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves,
or jewelry, and tie back long hair.
HOT WORKPIECES. Friction will cause the
workpiece to heat to the point of causing burns
to the skin. Wear protective gloves and apron if
grinding for an extended time.
ABRASIVE CONDITION. Worn or dam aged sand paper can fly apart and throw debris at operator,
or aggressively grab workpiece, resulting in subsequent injuries from operator loss of workpiece
control. Always inspect belt before operation and
replace if worn or damaged.
MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSION. Small workpieces
can be aggressively pulled from your hands,
causing contact with belt surface. Always use a
jig or other holding device when grinding small
workpieces, and keep hands and fingers at least
2" away from abrasive surface.
ABRASIVE DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece
incorrectly can cause it to be thrown from machine,
striking operator or bystanders, or causing your
hands to slip into the moving sandpaper. To
reduce these risks, only grind against direction of
sandpaper travel, ensure workpiece is properly
supported, and avoid introducing sharp edges into
moving belt on the leading side of the workpiece.
Model G0897 (Mfd. Since 6/19)
WORKPIECE INTEGRITY & SUPPORT. Grinding
fragile workpieces can result in loss of control,
resulting in abrasion injuries, impact injuries,
or damage to abrasive belt. Only grind solid
workpieces that can withstand power grinding
forces. Properly support workpiece; avoid grinding
workpieces without flat bottom surfaces unless
some type of jig is used to maintain support and
control when grinding force is applied. Always
grind with workpiece firmly against table or another support device.
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Grinding metal will
cause sparks. Make sure there are no flammable
or combustible materials near sander.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
For your own safety and protection of
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Model G0897 (Mfd. Since 6/19)
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

Anchoring to Floor
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we recommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.

Dust Collection
This machine creates a lot of metal chips/
dust during operation. Breathing airborne
dust on a regular basis can result in
permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your
risk by wearing a respirator and capturing
the dust with a dust-collection system.
Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 250 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.

DO NOT operate the Model G0897 with
a dust collection system that has been
previously used for wood dust collection
or other combustible material. Hot metal
sparks and fragments could cause material
to ignite! DO NOT attach to plastic fittings
or dust collection not rated specifically for
metal dust collection!
To connect dust collection system to machine:
Fit 3" dust hose over dust port and secure in

Test Run
Once assembly is complete, test run the machine
to ensure it is properly connected to power and
safety components are functioning correctly.
If you find an unusual problem during the test run,
immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from
power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the
machine again. The
table in the
SERVICE section of this manual can help.

diately stop grinder, while watching how
belt tracks on contact wheel. Belt "tracking"
refers to belt positioning on wheels when belt
rotates. When properly tracking, belt remains
centered on wheels as it rotates.
Troubleshooting
The Test Run consists of verifying the following:
1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, 2)
the belt tracks properly and will not come off the
wheels during initial startup, and 3) the switch disabling mechanism disables the switch properly.
Serious injury can result from using this
machine BEFORE understanding its controls
and related safety information. DO NOT
operate or allow others to operate, machine
until the information is understood.
—If belt tracks too far left or right, belt
edge will be destroyed if it makes contact
with the side cover. To prevent that from
happening, you must adjust belt tracking
before proceeding to next step. Refer to
Adjusting Belt Tracking on Page 21 for
further details.

Choosing
Abrasive Belts
This machine uses a 4" W x 48" L belt. Below is a
chart that groups abrasives into different classes,
and shows which grits fall into each class.
Grit Class
36 Extra Coarse
60 Coarse
80–100 Medium
120 –180 Fine
To achieve a fine finish, the general rule is to grind
a workpiece with progressively higher grit numbers, with no one grit increase of more than 50.
Avoid skipping grits; the larger the grit increase,
the harder it will be to remove the scratches from
the previous grit.
Model G0897 (Mfd. Since 6/19)
Ultimately, the type of metal you use and your
stage of finish will determine the best grit types to
install on your grinder.
