serious injury.
3. Replace warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
4. Know the tool you are using; its application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
5. Do not use this machine for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes, JET
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds
itself harmless from any injury that may result
from that use.
6. Always wear protective eye wear when
operating machinery. Eye wear shall be impact
resistant, protective safety glasses with side
shields which comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications. Use of eye wear which does not
comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could
result in severe injury from breakage of eye
protection. (Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.)
7. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose
clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
8. Wear hearing protection (plugs or muffs) if the

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. Table 2 (see sect.
7.2) shows correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
31. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
32. Direction of feed: Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
1.2 Specific rules for abrasive
sanding machines
Abrasive sanding can be hazardous to operators
and bystanders. Sanding sparks, chips and dust
particles thrown off by the sanding disc can cause
serious injury by contact or inhalation. In addition to
the general safety rules above, you must also
comply with the following specific requirements:
1. If you are not thoroughly familiar with the
operation of belt and disc sanders, obtain
advice from your supervisor, instructor or other
qualified person.
2. A dust collection system is recommended.
Operator shall also wear a dust mask at all
times.
3. Do not sand magnesium; it could catch fire.
Additional precautions may be needed for other
materials that are hazardous or flammable.
Always consult the material manufacturer for
instructions on sawing and handling.
4. Do not start the grinder while a workpiece is
contacting the grinding wheel or the sanding
belt.
5. If there is any risk of the machine tipping or
moving during operation, such as when sanding
long or heavy boards, the machine must be
securely fastened to a supporting surface.
6. Make sure the sanding belt is running in the
proper direction; it must travel downward when
viewed from front of machine.
7. Make sure sanding belt tracks correctly so that
it does not run off the wheels.
8. Make sure sanding belt or disc is not torn or
loose.
9. Before sanding, allow motor to reach operating
speed, then check the sanding disc for wobble,
runout or any unbalanced condition. If the disc
is not operating accurately and smoothly,
immediately stop the motor and make repairs
before attempting sanding operations.
10. Always hold the work firmly on the table when
sanding on the belt or disc. The only exception
is curved work performed on the bottom wheel.
11. Always sand on the downward side of the disc
so that the work is held securely on the table.
Sanding on the upward side of the disc can
cause the workpiece to fly upward, which may
be hazardous.
12. Always maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16inch between table and sanding belt or disc.
13. This machine can be used for processing wood
or metal products. However, combining wood
dust and metal filings can create a fire hazard.
Make sure that the dust collector is free of wood
dust deposits before processing metal
products.
14. Never wear gloves or hold the work with a rag
when sanding.
15. Sand with the grain of the wood when possible.
16. Do not sand pieces of material that are too small
to be safely supported.
17. When sanding a large workpiece, provide
additional support at table height.
18. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to move into the
sanding belt or disc.
19. Never force the work. Slowing or stalling the
motor will cause overheating.
20. Always remove scrap pieces and other objects
from the belt and disc tables before turning on
the machine.
21. When sanding metal, never use a steady
stream of water on the work piece. Dip the
workpiece in water to cool it.
22. Wear protective clothing such as apron, safety
shoes, or arm guards, where the sanding or
grinding activity presents a hazard to the
operator.
23. Abrasive discs must be stored in a controlled
environment area. Relative humidity should be
35% to 50% and the temperature should be
between 60 and 80 degrees Farenheit. Failure
to do so could cause premature disc failure.
24. Examine the face of the sanding disc carefully.
Excessive sanding which wears down to the
backing material can cause tearing of the disc.
Never use a disc which shows backing, nicks or
cuts on the surface or edge, or damage due to
creasing or poor handling.
3
25. When installing a new disc, be certain the disc
is accurately centered on the drive wheel.
Failure to do so could cause an unbalanced
condition.
26. Always present the workpiece to the wheel
while resting the workpiece firmly on the table.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the
workpiece or throwing of the workpiece off the
wheel.

6.2 Unpacking
Separate all parts from the packing material. Check
each part against sect. 5.0,Carton contents, and
make certain that all items are accounted for.
(Check whether any parts have been pre-mounted
to the grinder.) Notify your dealer or JET if missing
or damaged items are discovered. Do not discard
packing material until grinder is assembled and
operating properly.
The IBDG Belt and Disc Sander requires minimal
assembly. For your safety, do not plug the sander
into a power source until all assembly and
adjustments are complete.
Make sure that sander is
unplugged and power switch is in OFF position.
Do not plug in the sander to power until it is
inspected for shipping damage and all
necessary assembly and adjustments are
performed. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.
6.4 Belt sanding table
Install bracket plate, table and handles, as shown in
Figure 6-1. (You may prefer sanding arm in
horizontal position for this – see Figure 6-3.)
Figure 6-1: sanding belt table
TIP: The quickest method of installing a handle is to
start the handle into the threads of the hole, then pull
out on the handle while turning the screw with a
3mm hex wrench until tight. See Figure 6-2.
To reposition a handle for convenience without
affecting its tightness, pull out on it, rotate, then
release it, allowing it to resettle upon the screw.
Do not operate this machine
without all guards and shields in place and in
working order. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
6.3 Securing the sander
To prevent the machine from moving during
operation, it should be securely mounted to a work
bench or stand. Fasteners for mounting are not
included with the sander.
1. Align mounting holes on sander with predrilled
holes in bench or pedestal. Figure 4-1 shows
hole centers for mounting.
2. Insert M10 (or 3/8”) bolts through the holes and
secure with washers and nuts.
An optional JET pedestal stand (not included) is
available for your sander. See sect. 11.0.
IMPORTANT: The sander’s base plate contains
ventilation holes for heat dissipation. This is
especially important on the variable speed models,
as it helps keep the circuit board at an acceptable
temperature. These holes should not be obstructed.
If the rubber pads are removed for mounting to a
table, allow an opening in the table below the grinder
for air circulation. However, it is recommended the
Figure 6-2: installing handles
To avoid trapping the work or
fingers between table and sanding belt, the table
edge must be positioned 1/16-inch or less from
the sanding belt.
6.5 Stand-off
1. Install stand-off (shown installed in Figure 8-2)
into threaded hole in back of sanding arm.
2. Loosen screw (A, Figure 6-3) with 6mm hex
wrench and lower sanding arm to horizontal
position.
3. Turn stand-off in or out as needed until sanding
arm is level with workbench.
4. Tighten hex nut against sanding arm to secure
setting of stand-off.
10
6.6 Sanding tool rest
Loosen screw (A, Figure 6-3) with 6mm hex wrench
and lower sanding arm to horizontal position.
Install tool rest as shown in Figure 6-3, using a 6mm
hex wrench.
Note: The tool rest can remain installed when not in
use. Simply adjust it outward to allow opening and
closing of drive wheel cover. Adjust it inward before
raising arm to vertical position.
Figure 6-3: Sanding tool rest
Position table at 90° to disc, and check distance
between table edge and sanding disc. If gap is
greater than 1/16-inch, adjust as follows:
1. Look through top access hole and rotate disc
until set screw appears.
2. Insert provided 3mm hex wrench through hole
to loosen set screw. See Figure 6-4.
3. Bump disc toward the table to achieve 1/16-inch
gap. (Remove lower guard if needed.)
4. Tighten set screw. (Reinstall lower guard if
removed.)
6.7 Dust port
Install dust port (B, Figure 6-3) over exhaust hole in
sanding arm, with three screws.
It is recommended that a dust collection system
designed for metal dust and shavings be connected
to the two ports on both ends of the machine, using
2-1/2” inside-diameter hose with hose clamp (not
provided). An accessory hose kit is available from
JET; see sect. 11.0.
6.8 Installing sanding disc
1. Remove guard covering lower portion of disc.
2. Peel back about 1/2 of the backing on sanding
disc to expose the adhesive.
3. Carefully position upper part of sanding disc to
the machine disc, matching its outer edge with
that of the machine disc. Continue peeling away
the remainder of the backing as you work
downward to remove any entrapped air,
pressing the sanding disc to the machine’s disc.
4. Reinstall lower guard.
6.9 Installing disc table
Install disc table with two handles and flat washers
(see Figure 6-4). Loosen handles to tilt table
downward. Tighten handles before operating.
To avoid trapping the work or
fingers between table and sanding disc, the
table edge must be positioned 1/16-inch or less
from sanding disc.
Figure 6-4: disc table
6.10 Miter gauge
Insert the miter gauge bar into the end of the disc
table slot. Loosen handle to rotate gauge to desired
angle shown on scale. Always tighten handle before
operating.
If precise angles are needed, verify the miter gauge
setting by placing an angle measuring device
against miter gauge and sanding disc.
7.0 Electrical connections
Electrical connections should
be made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This tool must be
properly grounded. Failure to comply may cause
serious or fatal injury.
The IBDG Belt and Disc Sander is prewired for 115V
single phase power, and is supplied with a plug
designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet
that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 7-1. The
sander may also be used with 230V single phase
input power, see sect. 7.3 for instructions.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
11
It is recommended that the sander be connected to
a minimum 15-amp circuit with circuit breaker or
fuse. If using fuses, they should be time-delay fuses
marked “D”. Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.
7.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
This tool must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure
7-1. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is
not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code,
C22.1.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
Figure 7-1: plug configurations
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between
150 - 250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure
7-1. A grounding plug may be installed, that looks
like the plug illustrated in D; or the grinder may be
“hard-wired” to a panel, provided there is a
disconnect for the operator.
Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the tool
must be reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
4. Permanently connected tools:
This tool should be connected to a grounded metal
permanent wiring system; or to a system having an
equipment-grounding conductor.
5. Polarized plugs – To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
7.2 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged. Try to
position equipment near the power source. If an
extension cord becomes necessary, use only threewire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding type plugs and three-prong receptacles
that accept the tool's plug. Replace or repair
damaged or worn cord immediately.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition,
and is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
12
Table 2 shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number (AWG), the heavier the cord.
The belt/disc sander is prewired for 115 volt input
power, but can be converted to 230 volt input, as
follows.
7.3.1 Non-variable speed models
(IBDG-248 and IBDG-436)
8.2 Sanding belt tracking
1. Turn sander OFF.
2. Move sanding belt by hand to check tracking. If
belt migrates to one side or the other, adjust as
follows.
3. Loosen wing nut (E, Figure 8-1).
4. Turn knob (F) while moving the belt until belt
completely covers drive wheel and stays
centered. Turn knob clockwise to shift belt to
the right (away from grinder), counterclockwise
to shift belt to the left (toward grinder).
NOTE: This adjustment is sensitive, turn handle
in small increments and allow belt to respond to
changes.
5. Tighten wing nut (E) to secure setting.
6. Turn on machine to confirm the adjustment at
operating speed.
1. Turn sander over and remove base plate.
2. Reconnect the leads according to wiring
diagram in sect. 14.0. Reinstall base plate.
3. Remove existing plug from power cable and
attach a UL/CSA listed plug designed for 230V
power; or “hardwire” the machine directly to a
panel. If hardwiring make sure a disconnect is
provided for the operator.
7.3.2 Variable speed models
(IBDG-248VS and IBDG-436VS)
1. Remove existing plug from power cable and
attach a UL/CSA listed plug designed for 230V
power; or “hardwire” the machine directly to a
panel. If hardwiring make sure a disconnect is
provided for the operator.
Note: No internal rewiring is needed for the inverter
to accept the new input voltage.
8.0 Adjustments
8.1 Sanding arm tilt
Loosen screw (A, Figure 6-3) and manually move
arm to vertical or horizontal position. Retighten
screw.
Make sure screw (A, Figure 6-3)
is tight when using sanding arm. Failure to
comply may result in vertical sanding arm falling
back to horizontal position during operation,
resulting in possible injury.
Figure 8-1: belt tracking
9.0 Operation
Always use approved safety
glasses or face shield while operating tool.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
The IBDG series Belt and Disc Sander can be used
to grind, sand, finish and contour many types of
parts, including metal, wood, plastic, and composite
materials.
9.1 Basic procedures
Belt and platen (horizontal or vertical position) –
Workpieces of any length can be worked on the belt
and against the platen. The table or tool rest should
be tightened in place and used to support the
workpiece. The table can tilt down to 45-degrees,
and may also be used as a fence for workpiece
support when sanding arm is horizontal.
The general-purpose 80-grit sanding belt is useful
for many applications, including radiusing, deburring
and finishing/polishing of both ferrous and nonferrous alloys.
13
Contour sanding (horizontal position) – Contoured
workpieces can be sanded over the drive wheel.
Open the end cover and secure it by attaching its
hook to the strap, as shown in Figure 9-1. Adjust tool
rest and tighten in place.
Figure 9-1
9.1.1 Disc sanding
Place workpiece firmly against table and ease it into
the moving disc.
If greater precision of angle is needed, place an
angle measuring device on table and against disc,
and adjust the table accordingly. Always tighten
table lock handles.
Do not sand on upward moving portion; disc must
rotate downward into the workpiece.
Do not crowd the work so that the disc slows.
Figure 9-2: safety key (non-VS models only)
IBDG-248VS, IBDG-436VS: Press on/off button on
keypad (Figure 9-3) to start or stop. Press either of
the numbered buttons to start machine at the
designated speed. Press arrow buttons to change
rotation speed in 100 RPM increments.
The digital readout will flash briefly during start up
and speed adjustments. Press button to toggle
between RPM and SFPM display.
The variable speed sander will shut off after 90
seconds of inactivity. Press on/off button to reenergize.
9.1.2 Belt sanding
1.Move belt by hand to ensure that wheels rotate
freely without obstruction, table or tool rest does
not contact belt, and belt tracks properly.
2.Use the entire width of the belt to reduce wear
in one place.
3.At all times, keep hands and fingers away from
pinch points.
9.2 Operating controls
Note: After extended operation, the grinder housing
may be warm to the touch. This is not abnormal.
IBDG-248, IBDG-436: Pull paddle switch (A, Figure
9-2) to start tool, push to stop. The safety key (A1)
can be removed to prevent unauthorized use of the
grinder. The safety key must be inserted to restart
the grinder.

10.0 User-maintenance
For safety, turn switch to OFF and remove plug from
power source outlet before performing maintenance
on the grinder/sander.
If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
10.1 Cleaning
Metal shavings may still be hot
from recent sanding operations. Make sure
shavings and debris are cold before cleaning
the machine. Use a brush or rag to clear
shavings, not bare hands.
Avoid use of the following
cleaning chemicals or solvents: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia.
Brush all shavings from the motor housing, tool rest,
and sanding belt areas. Clean the area beneath the
sander base.
Periodically use a cleaning stick (not provided)
against the abrasive belt and disc to remove buildup.
If the abrasive belt becomes loaded, it can be
cleaned by soaking within a solvent. Allow to dry
completely before reinstalling.
10.2 Installing/replacing sanding belt
1. Disconnect sander from power source.
2. Unscrew knobs and open side guard.
3. Pull tension lever (D, Figure 10-1) outward to
compress spring and de-tension belt.
4. Remove old belt by sliding it off wheels. Install
new belt, centering it on the wheels. Make sure
arrow printed on back of sanding belt matches
direction of belt movement.
5. Push lever (D) inward to tension belt.
6. Verify proper belt tracking, sect. 8.2.
7. Close side cover and secure with knobs before
operating.
Figure 10-1: sanding belt tension
10.3 Tension lever tightness
If sanding belt tension lever becomes loose, hold the
lock nut (A, Figure 10-1) with an 11mm wrench, and
tighten screw (B) with 5mm hex wrench. Lever
should be snug but still easily moved.
10.4 Replacing sanding disc
1. Disconnect sander from power.
2. Remove disc table and lower guard.
Use care when using a knife to
separate sanding disc from machine disc. Injury
from the knife may occur if the knife slips or if
sanding disc should suddenly come free.
3. Using a putty knife, work tip of knife under
sanding disc. Slowly work tip around
circumference of disc. Continue to work around
the circumference until sanding disc can be
separated by hand from the machine disc.
4. Clean residual adhesive from machine disc with
a rag and a cleaner/degreaser. Allow to dry.
5. See sect. 6.8 to install a new sanding disc.
10.5 Lubrication
All motor and wheel bearings are permanently
lubricated and sealed at the factory and require no
additional lubrication.
10.6 Additional servicing
Any additional servicing should be performed by
authorized service personnel.
