In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric cur­rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accor­dance with all local codes and ordinances.
110V Operation
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord at 110V:
Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service
(grade S) or better.
The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50
feet long or less.
•DONOT use a cord longer that 100 feet!
This machine must have a ground prong in the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Electrocution or a fire can result if the machine is not grounded correctly. Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded. DO NOT use ungrounded machines.
No single list of electrical guidelines can be comprehensive for all shop environ­ments. Operating this machinery may require additional electrical upgrades spe­cific to your machine and shop environ­ment. It is your responsibility to make sure your electrical systems comply with all local electrical codes and ordinances.

G7297 Disc Sander
Unsupervised children and visitors inside your shop could receive seri­ous personal injury. Ensure child and visitor safety by keeping all entrances to the shop locked at all times. DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in the shop at any time.
Weight Load
The Model G7297 Disc Sander is a small weight load with a small footprint. Most shop floors and workbenches should be sufficient to carry the weight of the machine. Reinforce the floor and workbench if you question its ability to support the weight.
Working Clearance
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis­tances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine to one another for effi­cient material handling.
Lighting And Outlets
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle the amperage draw. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local elec­trical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Site Considerations

General
When the table tilt is set to 0˚, the table should be adjusted perpendicular to the sanding disc face.
To adjust table tilt:
1. Using a try square or machinist’s square, set
one edge on the table surface and the other against the face of the disc as shown in
Figure 3. Note—This can be done with the sandpaper installed, although it is somewhat easier to measure if the disc does not have the sandpaper disc installed.
2. Loosen the lock lever and adjust the table
angle until it is perfectly perpendicular.
3. Tighten the lock lever while holding the table
perpendicular.
4. Adjust the stop bolt and tighten. Note—
Remove this bolt if you want to have the table angle less than 90˚.
5. Move the table angle and return it to the 0˚
point using the indicator, then recheck with the square to verify the setting.

G7297 Disc Sander
The Model G7297 Disc Sander accepts 12" diam­eter cloth or paper-backed PSA sanding discs. These are available in a variety of grits. See the current Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering information.
The sanding disc sticks to the surface of the cast iron disc, using the pressure sensitive adhesive backing (PSA) on the reverse side of the sand­paper disc. The sandpaper can be replaced with­out removing either the table or the dust port.
To attach sandpaper:
1. Peel back the protective layer on one-half of
the sandpaper disc and fold it against the remaining half.
2. Slip the half with the protective layer
between the disc and the table edge (Figure
5).
Figure 5. Sandpaper being slipped between the
disc and table.
The miter gauge needs to be adjusted perpendic­ular to the face of the wheel when it is mounted in the table slot.
To adjust miter gauge:
1. Use a try square or machinist’s square with
one edge against the face of the miter gauge and the other against the disc face as shown in Figure 4.
2. Loosen the adjusting screw on the miter
gauge and adjust it flush with the edge of the square.
3. Tighten the gauge adjusting screw, and veri-
fy the setting. Note—Sometimes the tighten-
ing procedure can affect the adjustment.
4. Loosen the screw that secures the angle
pointer and adjust the pointer to the 0˚ mark.
5. Retighten the screw that secures the angle
pointer.

Figure 6. Removing protective layer.
Figure 7. Table aligned with sanding disc.
The table must be aligned to the face of the sand­ing disc so that the sandpaper does not rub against the table.
To align the table:
1. Loosen the screws that secure the table to
the table support bracket.
2. Align the table so that there is a
1
16'' gap
between the 12" disc and the table (Figure
7).
3. Tighten the screws loosened in step 1.
4. Spin the disc by hand to check if the sand-
paper is touching the table. Note—DO NOT turn the disc sander on at this point.
5. Repeat steps 1-3 if sandpaper touches table
at any point in the rotation.
3. Position the exposed adhesive on the upper
half of the disc that extends above the table. Once it is positioned evenly across the disc, press the adhesive onto the surface.
4. Now rotate the disc so the lower half is now
above the table.
5. Bend the paper back and remove the remaining half of the protective layer (Figure
6), and then press this portion against the disc.

This section will cover basic disc sanding opera­tions. Please read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operation.
Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section:
-14-
G7297 Disc Sander
Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass­es or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass­es you wear meet the appropriate stan­dards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
To perform sanding operations:
1. Set the angle of the table relative to the
sanding disc. The angle can be set with the angle gauge on the disc sander or with a pro­tractor for greater accuracy.
2. When a 90˚ horizontal angle is required,
place one surface of the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge (set at 0˚), with the other surface against the face of the disc (Figure 8).
Note—For sanding curves or irregular shapes,
remove the miter gauge from the disc table. Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This will keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands from the rotational forces.
Figure 8. Disc sanding.
General
Disc Sanding
SECTION 7: OPERATIONS
Page 17
G7297 Disc Sander -15-
The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired dimension. Miter sanding can be done easily with the miter gauge:
To perform miter sanding operations:
1. Loosen the knob on the miter gauge and
adjust the angle to the desired point. Tighten the knob.
2. Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it
to hold your workpiece in position. Note—
The miter gauge can be used in either direc­tion in the slot to achieve the proper relation of the workpiece to the disc.
3. With light, but firm pressure, push the work-
piece slowly into the downspin side of the rotating disc (Figure 9).
Figure 9. Mitering with gauge angled.
Rotation
To perform angle sanding operations:
1. Loosen the handles securing the table.
2. Use the angle gauge to acheive the desired
table angle and tighten the handles. Note— The disc table can be positioned from -15˚ to 35˚, relative to the plane of the sanding sur­face. Whenever possible, sand with an open angle where there is plenty of clearance between the disc and the table. This will avoid trapping the workpiece between the sanding surface and the table.
3. Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it
to hold your workpiece in position.
4. With light, but firm pressure, push the work-
piece slowly into the downspin side of the rotating disc (Figure 10).
