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.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

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 [phone].

Additional Safety for Metal Belt 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 or ground-off particles thrown by grinding belt
can strike operator or bystanders, causing impact injuries or blindness. Long-term respiratory
damage can occur from using grinder without wearing 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 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 the risk of
pinch and crush injuries by adjusting table/support
to no more than

GRINDING DUST. Grinding creates large amounts
of airborne dust particles that can cause eye injury
or respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by always
wearing approved eye and respiratory protection
when using grinder.

ABRASIVE CONDITION. Worn or damaged grind­ing belts can fly apart and throw debris, or aggres­sively grab workpiece, causing injury from opera­tor loss of workpiece control. Always inspect belt
before operation and replace if worn or damaged.

HOT WORKPIECES. Grinding friction will cause
workpiece to quickly get hot, causing burns to the
skin. Wear apron if grinding for an extended time.
Do not touch freshly ground surfaces or nearby
areas without first cooling them or allowing them
to cool.

1

⁄16" away from belt.

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.

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Grinding metal will
cause sparks. Make sure there are no flammable
or combustible materials near machine.

ABRASIVE DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece
incorrectly can cause it to be thrown from machine,
striking operator or bystanders, or causing hands
to slip into moving belt. 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.

PROTECTING HANDS. Rotating belt can remove
skin quickly. Always keep hands away from mov­ing belt during operation. Do not wear gloves while
grinding. Stop machine before cleaning dust from
work area and protect hands because pieces can
be sharp.

WORKPIECE INTEGRITY & SUPPORT. Grinding
fragile workpieces can result in loss of control,
resulting in abrasion injuries, pinch/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.

Model G0952 (Mfd. Since 09/21)

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 severe injury
or death. Keep all guards in place and closed; DO
NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry; and
tie back long hair.

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.

For your own safety and protection of

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.

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

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.)

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:

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.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

Grounding Instructions

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit
Requirements for 220V”
has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground­ing prong. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly

Anchoring to Floor

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.

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.

Dust Collection

This machine creates a lot of sparks/metal
dust during operation. Use a metal dust
collector to help reduce airborne dust levels
and reduce the risk of dust inhalation.
Metal dust collectors also help contain
sparks so they do not contact flammable
or combustible materials and create a dust
related fire/explosion.

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) ducting 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.

Correcting Phase Polarity

This sub-section is provided for troubleshooting
3-phase power connections. If you discover dur­ing the test run that the machine will not operate,
or that the motor runs backwards, the plug may be
wired "out of phase," meaning that the polarity is
incorrectly wired. This is a common situation with
3-phase power and it is easy to correct.

Inspection

Some workpieces are not suitable for grind­ing on a grinder. Before grinding, inspect all

workpieces for the following:

• Flammable Workpiece: Workpieces with
unstable chemical elements (like magne­sium) may catch fire or create explosion
hazards when introduced to the heat and
friction of grinding. Be aware of the material
composition of workpieces you intend to use
and avoid grinding different metals and alloys
on the same belt in case two different materi­als create a dangerous chemical reaction.

• Soft Workpiece: Workpieces that are made
of aluminum, brass, lead, and other nonfer­rous metals will load up in the belt. Grinding
plastics, rubber, fiberglass, or other soft
materials can also cause the same problem.
Always use the recommended belt for the
material.

• Flexible/Unstable Workpiece: Grinding on
the side or the ends of cable, chain, or round
workpieces creates the hazard of workpiece
twist or grab, leading to contact with the belt.
This hazard must be avoided.

• Wood Workpiece: Never grind wood on
this machine. Wood dust and shavings are
extremely flammable and hot metal sparks
will ignite them. A belt that has been used to
sand wood or a dust collection system that
has been used to collect wood dust create
a flame and explosion hazard when the hot
sparks of metal grinding are introduced.

Grinding TipsWorkpiece

• Extend the life of the grinding belt by regularly
using an abrasive surface cleaner. Change a
belt when cleaning is no longer effective.

• As a rule-of-thumb, grind with progressively
higher grit numbers. A higher grit will achieve
a finer finish.

• Hold workpiece securely with both hands and
do not wear gloves. Use work rest whenever
possible to support workpiece. Do not force
workpiece against belt.

• Never grind magnesium. Once shaved
or powdered, it is highly flammable, and
magnesium fire is difficult to put out.

• Remember that grinding metal often produc­es sparks. DO NOT grind metal near flam­mable materials and be aware of the area
around the machine the sparks will reach.

• Use full width of the grinding belt by moving
the workpiece back-and-forth across the belt.

• Make sure belt guards are closed and secured
during operation.

• The workpiece will get hot as you continue
to grind. Cool the workpiece frequently by
quenching in water or another approved
solution.

• Wear the proper protective clothing. Prepare
for particles to be expelled from the grinder
at high speeds. Wear safety glasses, face
shield, dust mask, earplugs, leather apron,
and heavy leather boots.

-18-

Moving belt can cause serious personal
injury if it comes in contact with fingers,
hands, or other body parts. Always support
workpiece against work rest when grinding.
Use extreme care to provide a safe distance
between belt and any body part.

Model G0952 (Mfd. Since 09/21)

Choosing

Installing/Changing

Grinding Belts

This machine uses a 3" x 79" 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

The general rule of thumb is to grind a workpiece
with progressively higher grit numbers. Avoid
skipping grits; the larger the grit increase, the
harder it will be to remove the scratches from the
previous grit.

Ultimately, the type of metal you use and your
stage of finish will determine the best grit types to
install on your grinder.

Belt

The grinding belt should be changed whenever
there is a noticeable change in grinding quality/
performance. You may also need to change grit
sizes for quick material removal or finer finishes.

Checking/Adjusting

Belt Tracking

The purpose of belt tracking is to make sure the
belt stays centered on the wheels during grinding
operations. Although belt tracking is set at the fac­tory, it needs to be checked any time you change
or replace the belt.

You must perform the following procedure after
installing a grinding belt to ensure that the belt
does not come off or get jammed against the
machine frame.

Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical com­ponents!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpre­dictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved after­market parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires dis­connected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious per­sonal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are expe­riencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at [phone].
