WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil-
ter out microscopic particles.

G0512 Edge Sander -7-
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that
has a plug with an equipment-grounding prong.
The outlet must be properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
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 fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly.
Make sure all electrical
circuits are grounded
before you connect them
to the machine. DO NOT
use this machine if it is
not grounded.
220V Operation
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to
eliminate the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an
extension cord at 220V with your Grizzly Edge
Sander:
• Make sure the cord is rated for Standard
Service (grade S) or better.
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug prong.
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50
feet long or less.
• Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is
between 51-100 feet.
110V Operation
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
at 110V with your Grizzly Edge Sander:
• Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service
(grade S) or better.
• The extension cord must also contain a

Floor Load
The Model G0512 weighs 235 lbs. and has a
141⁄2" x 32" footprint on the bottom of the stand.
Most commercial floors are suitable for your
machine. Some residential floors may require
additional build up to support both the machine
and operator.
Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your bandsaw.
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
amperage requirements. Outlets should be locat-
ed 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.
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have low flash
points which make them
extremely flammable. A
risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used.
Do not smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explo-
sion or fire exists and may
result in serious personal
injury.
Site ConsiderationsClean Up
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol-
vents could cause seri-
ous personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.
Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could cause serious person-
al injury to themselves. Lock
all entrances to the shop
when you are away and DO
NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!

Before you can install the table, you must run the
sander to track the belt. However, you should
perform a “pre-tracking” procedure before starting
the sander to ensure that the belt does not come
off of or bottom out on the rollers during the initial
startup.
To pretrack the belt:
1. Make sure that the sander is disconnect-
ed from the power!
2. Loosen the tracking lock knob.
3. Standing in front of the sander, push the
sanding belt multiple times along the platen,
so that it moves in the direction of operation
(counter-clockwise on the rollers), and watch
how the belt tracks on the rollers.
4. Adjust the tracking higher or lower as need-
ed and continue to rotate the belt by hand.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until the top of the sand-
ing belt rides even with the top of the main
roller as shown in Figure 11.
To install the roller guard:
1. Place the guard on top of the idler roller and
secure it in position with the included small
star knob, as shown in Figure 10.

To test run and track the belt:
1. Make sure the belt is properly pre-tracked as
described previously.
2. Tie back loose clothing and long hair to pro-
tect yourself from getting caught in the mov-
ing sanding belt when you start the machine.
3. Make sure the switch is in the down position
(OFF), then connect the sander to the power
source.
Use extreme caution when preparing for
your initial test run. Always keep one finger
on the switch in order to quickly STOP the
machine in the event of a malfunction or
incorrect belt tracking.
4. Start the sander; it should run smoothly with
little or no vibration or rubbing noises.
Strange or unnatural noises should be inves-
tigated and corrected before further opera-
tion.
— If noises occur that can not be found by
visual inspection, feel free to contact our
Service Department for help.
5. Using the tracking control knob, carefully
adjust the tracking higher or lower until the
top of the sanding belt remains even with the
top of the main roller. Note—The tracking
control knob is very sensitive, adjust it with
caution.
6. When the tracking appears to be correct,
allow the sander to run for approximately one
minute to verify that the tracking stays in the
correct position.
— If the tracking does not stay correct,
repeat steps 5 & 6.
7. When the sanding belt is tracking correctly,
tighten the tracking lock knob.
Before installing the table, the sanding belt must
be tracking correctly to ensure that the idler roller
is close to the position that it will be in during
operation.
To install the table:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Insert the lead screw assembly as shown in
Figure 12.

2. Secure the backstop to the table with three
#8 x 3⁄4" Phillips head tap screws (as shown
in Figure 18).
Figure 18. Back stop mounted on table.
The dust port can be connected to a dust collec-
tion system with a 4" hose. However, in order to
move the dust from the sander, the dust collec-
tion system must be able to move approximately
500 CFM where the hose connects to the dust
port. Note—This number is an approximation and
is used for estimation purposes only.
To connect the dust port to a dust collection
system:
1. Slide the 4" hose completely over the dust
port as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 20. Dust port connected to dust
collection system.
2. Tighten the hose clamp to ensure a snug,
sealed fit.

Your safety is important! Please follow the
warnings below:
Operating this equipment creates the
potential for flying debris to cause eye
injury. Always wear safety glasses when
operating equipment. Everyday glasses or
reading glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be cer-
tain the safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Sanding surfaces are capable of causing
serious personal injury if they come in con-
tact with fingers, hands, or other body
parts. Use extreme care to provide a large
buffer area between the sanding belt and
any part of your body.
Using this machine pro-
duces sawdust that may
cause short and long-
term respiratory illness.
Always wear a dust mask
when operating this
machine.
Besides starting and stopping the sander, the
power switch features an important safety lockout
key. This key can be removed (as shown in
Figure 21) to disable the sander so that it cannot
be accidentally started.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
-20- G0512 Edge Sander
The Model G0512 accepts a 6" x 80" sanding
belt.
There are many types of sanding belts to choose
from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide for gener-
al workshop environments. Below is a chart that
groups abrasive types into different classes, and
shows which grits fall into each class.
The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece
with progressively higher grit numbers, with no
one grit increase of more than 50.
Grit Type
60
80-100
120-180
220
Coarse
Medium
Fine
Very Fine
Figure 22. Lead screw handwheel.
The table can be adjusted up or down to allow the
operator to use more surface area of the sanding
belt. Adjusting the height will also prevent the
platen graphite and sanding belt from wearing out
in one place.
To adjust the table:
1. Loosen the lock handles that secure the L
supports and the lead screw.
2. Turn the lead screw handwheel (shown in
Figure 22) to raise or lower the table to the
desired height.
3. Tighten all of the lock handles.

Edge & End Sanding
To perform an edge or end sanding operation:
1. Make sure the vertical tracking on the sand-
ing belt is set.
2. Start the sander by pulling the switch up.
3. Support the workpiece against the back stop,
keep your fingers away from the moving belt
and slowly feed the workpiece into the mov-
ing belt, as shown in Figures 23 & 24.
Figure 23. Typical edge sanding operation.
Figure 24. Typical end sanding operation.
Keep loose clothing out
of the way of machinery
and keep hair pulled
back during operations!
If you must feed a workpiece into the sand-
ing belt corner first, feed the trailing corner
first. Feeding the leading corner first, could
cause the sanding belt to grab the work-
piece and jerk it out of your hands.
-22- G0512 Edge Sander
Contour Sanding
To perform a contour sanding operation:
1. Start the sander by pulling the switch up.
2. Grip the workpiece firmly and feed it into the
curved end (as shown in Figure 25), and
continue moving the workpiece profile along
the contour until you achieve your desired
shape.

Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Grizzly
Edge Sander will ensure its optimum perfor-
mance. Make a habit of inspecting your sander
each time you use it. Check for the following con-
ditions and repair or replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Bearings
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Table Height Lead Screw
Wipe off built-up sawdust and lubricate with an
occasional shot of white lithium grease. After
lubricating, be sure to move the lead screw
through the full range of motion that it can travel,
so that the grease is spread evenly.
The sanding belt should be regularly cleaned as
it becomes clogged with sawdust. Clean the
sanding belt with PRO STIK®belt cleaners
(Model G1511/G1512). Belts that are regularly
cleaned have a much longer useful life, than belts
that are neglected. See page 31 for more detail
on PRO STIK™belt cleaners.
The laminate surface on the table can be wiped
clean with a dry towel or cleaned with a solvent
designed to remove wood resins if the table is
gummy.
DO NOT expose the underside of the table to
water because it may warp.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
-24- G0512 Edge Sander
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
This section is designed to help the operator with
adjustments that were made at the factory and
might also need to be made during the life of the
machine.
This section is provided for your convenience—it
is not a substitute for the Grizzly Service
Department. If any adjustments arise that are not
described in this manual, then feel free to call the
Grizzly Service Department.
Similarly, if you are unsure of how to perform any
procedure in this section, the Grizzly Service
Department will be happy to guide you through
the procedures or help in any other way.
The belt tensioner is normally adjusted as the belt
stretches. Two good indications of belt stretch (or
a loose belt) are if the belt slaps against the plat-
en while running or if it slips on the rollers.
On the other hand, if the belt tension is too tight,
you will have a hard time installing and removing
the belt when the belt tension is released.
To adjust the belt tensioner:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Lower the table as far as it will go.
3. Loosen the tracking lock knob, release the
belt tension, and remove the sanding belt
from the sander.
4. Move the belt tension lever to the position
where the belt is normally tensioned.
5. Locate the belt tension nut and the tracking
control bolt shown in Figure 35.

6. Rotate the tension nut counter-clockwise to
increase the tension and clockwise to
decrease the tension.
—Decreased Tension: If you rotated the
tension nut clockwise, move the belt ten-
sion lever to the release position. If it is
not too stiff, continue to step 7. If it is too
stiff to move comfortably, then either the
shaft spring tension needs to be reset, the
tension shaft needs lubrication, or the
idler roller-to-platen relationship needs to
be adjusted (page 29-30).
—Increased Tension: If you rotated the ten-
sion nut counter-clockwise, check the
beginning movement of the belt tension
lever. If there is no play in the first 2" of
travel, continue to step 7. If there is play
in the first 2", then the tension shaft spring
tension needs to be reset, as described in
the next sub-section.
7. Replace the sanding belt and examine the
effect of the tension adjustment on your belt.
Repeat the adjustment procedure if neces-
sary.
The tensioner spring (shown in Figure 36)
applies pressure to the sanding belt when the
belt tension lever is in the tension position. When
repeated adjustments are made to the tensioner
nut, the spring tension may lose the original set-
ting from the factory, at which point it will need to
be reset.
To reset the tensioner spring:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Remove the table from the sander.
3. Loosen the tracking lock knob and remove
the sanding belt from the sander.
4. Move the belt tension lever to the tension
position.

5. Turn the tension nut counter-clockwise until
the threads of the tension shaft are flush with
the nut, as shown in Figure 37.
6. Loosen the tracking control bolt (Figure 36,
page 25).
7. Pull on the idler roller to take up the slack in
the tension shaft.
8. Tighten the tracking control bolt.
9. Turn the tension nut clockwise approximate-
ly three full turns.
10. Engage and disengage the belt tension
lever, then tighten the tension nut two more
full turns.
11. Adjust the idler roller-to-platen relationship
as described on pages 29-30.
12. Install the sanding belt and table, and track
the sanding belt before operating the
sander. Note—It may be necessary to slight-
ly adjust the tension nut to make the table fit.
Parallel Belt
Tracking
The belt should track on the rollers so that the top
edge of the sanding belt stays parallel with the
top edge of the platen graphite, as illustrated in
Figure 38.
Figure 38. Illustration of parallel belt tracking.
To check the parallel tracking of the sanding
belt:
Track the sanding belt, so that the side of the belt
that is tracking higher is even with the top of the
graphite.
— If the lower side of the belt is more than
1⁄8" away from the top of the graphite, write
down the distance between the low side
of the belt and the top of the platen, then
proceed with the parallel belt tracking
instructions.
— If the lower side of the belt is less than 1⁄8"
away from the top of the graphite, then
you do not need to adjust your belt for
parallel tracking.
G0512 Edge Sander -27-
6. Thread in the necessary two of the four par-
allel tracking setscrews approximately 1⁄4-1⁄2a
turn, as discussed below.
— If the low side of the belt was on the left
end of the sander (as you are standing in
front), then thread the two bottom
setscrews into the plate (clockwise) and
unthread (counter-clockwise) the two top
setscrews out of the plate in the same
amount of turns as the bottom setscrews.
— If the low side of the of the belt was on the
right end of the sander (as you are stand-
ing in front), then evenly thread the two
top setscrews into the plate (clockwise)
and evenly unthread (counter-clockwise)
the two bottom setscrews out of the plate
in the same amount of turns as the top
setscrews.
7. Tighten the two cap screws shown in Figure
40.
8. Replace and track the belt with the tracking
knob, so the side of the belt that is tracking
higher (if it is) is even with the top of the
graphite.
— If the lower side of the belt is less than 1⁄8"
away from the top of the graphite, then
you do not need to make further adjust-
ments for parallel tracking.
— If the lower side of the belt is still more
than 1⁄8" away from the top of the graphite,
estimate how much the belt moved from
when you originally checked it. Compare
this movement with how much you turned
the two setscrews in step 6, and then
repeat steps 4-7, but adjust the
setscrews discussed in step 6 the
amount that you estimate will fix the par-
allel tracking. Repeat as necessary until
the parallel tracking is correct.
Figure 39. Table removed w/attached supports.
Figure 40. Idler roller adjustment screws.
To adjust the parallel tracking of the sanding
belt:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Remove the dust port.
3. Remove the table by removing the lock han-
dles, but keeping the L support brackets and
elevation plate attached to the table as
shown in Figure 39.
4. Remove the sanding belt.
5. Loosen the two cap screws (shown with
black arrows in Figure 40) approximately
half a turn, and notice the four setscrews
nearby (shown with white arrows in Figure
40)—these control the parallel tracking of the
sanding belt.
-28- G0512 Edge Sander
Platen-to-Rollers
Adjustments
Figure 41. Checking top of platen-to-roller.
Figure 42. Checking bottom of platen-to-roller.
The platen can be adjusted forward or backward
in relation to the main and idler rollers. When the
platen is correctly adjusted, it should extend
beyond the rollers approximately 1⁄8". If the platen
extends beyond this, the belt will stretch and the
graphite pad will wear quicker.
Because the idler roller is attached to the platen,
it will need to be adjusted independently to com-
plete this procedure.
Also, if the main roller is not vertically parallel with
the platen, the motor will need to be adjusted on
the motor mount to complete this procedure.
Instructions for all three adjustments will be given
below. First, check the platen-to-roller relation-
ship to see if you need to make the adjustments.
To check the platen-to-main roller relation-
ship:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Remove the sanding belt and dust port.
3. Place a straightedge across the TOP part of
the platen graphite and the main roller as
shown in Figure 41. Measure the gap, if
there is one, between the straightedge and
the main roller.
4. Now place the straightedge across the BOT-
TOM part of the platen graphite and the main
roller as shown in Figure 42. Measure the
gap, if there is one, between the straightedge
and the main roller.
5. Analyze the results of your check in steps 3-
4, using the criteria below:
—Correct Platen-to-Main Roller
Relationship: The distance between the
straightedge and the main roller is
approximately 1⁄8" at both the top and bot-
tom. No adjustments are necessary to
the platen position or the main roller posi-
tion.
—Platen Incorrect: The distances between
the straightedge and the main roller at
both the top and bottom are more or less
than 1⁄8", but the distances at both the top
and bottom are approximately the same.
The platen needs to be adjusted.
—Main Roller Incorrect: The distance
between the straightedge and the main
roller is different at the top than it is at the
bottom. The main roller needs to be
adjusted.
To check the platen-to-idler roller relation-
ship:
1. Follow steps 1–2 from the previous instruc-
tions.
G0512 Edge Sander -29-
4. Place a straightedge across the TOP part of
the platen graphite and the main roller, and
adjust the main roller so that it is even with
the platen graphite at both the top and bot-
tom of the roller. Note—You can also adjust
the motor approximately 1⁄8" behind the plat-
en and skip step 7, but this alternative may
be more more complicated.
5. Tighten the motor mount bolts carefully,
making sure not to move the motor from its
corrected position.
6. Recheck the main roller-to-platen alignment.
— If the alignment is correct, then it is adjust-
ed correctly. Proceed to step 7.
— If the alignment is incorrect, repeat steps
3-5.
7. Adjust the platen as described on the previ-
ous page.
8. Replace the sanding belt and dust port, and
retrack the sanding belt with the tracking
knob before resuming sanding operations.
To adjust the idler roller-to-platen relation-
ship:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Remove the sanding belt.
Figure 43. Two of the four motor mount bolts.
2. Place the straightedge across the TOP of the
platen graphite and the idler roller. Measure
the gap, if there is one, between the straight-
edge and the main roller.
3. Place the straightedge across the BOTTOM
of the platen graphite and the idler roller.
Measure the gap, if there is one, between the
straightedge and the main roller.
—Correct Platen-to-Idler Roller
Relationship: The distance between the
straightedge and the idler roller is approx-
imately 1⁄8" at both the top and bottom. No
adjustments are necessary to the idler
roller position.
—Idler Roller Incorrect: The distances
between the straightedge and the main
roller at both the top and bottom are more
or less than 1⁄8". Adjust the idler roller.
To adjust the main roller-to-platen relation-
ship:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Remove the sanding belt and dust port.
3. Loosen the four motor mount bolts/nuts that
secure the motor to the motor bracket.
Figure 43 shows two of the four motor mount
bolts.
-30- G0512 Edge Sander
Figure 44. Idler roller adjustment cap screws.
4. Place a straightedge across the TOP part of
the platen graphite and in front of the idler
roller, and adjust the idler roller so that it is
approximately 1⁄8" away from the straight-
edge.
5. Place a straightedge across the BOTTOM
part of the platen graphite and in front of the
idler roller, and adjust the idler roller so that it
is approximately 1⁄8" away from the straight-
edge.
6. Check the adjustments made in steps 5-6,
and tighten the cap screws that you loosened
in step 3, making sure not to move the cor-
rected idler roller position during tightening.
7. Replace the sanding belt and dust port, and
retrack the sanding belt with the tracking
knob before resuming sanding operations.
The platen can also be adjusted, but this adjust-
ment should be done carefully because moving
the platen too far will make the sanding belt press
against the table.
To adjust the platen:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Remove the sanding belt and dust port.
3. Loosen the two cap screws, shown in
Figure 44, approximately one full turn.
3. Loosen the two cap screws shown in Figure
45.
Figure 45. The two cap screws that secure the
platen for adjustments.
4. Place a straightedge across the platen
graphite and in front of the main roller.
5. Adjust the platen so the distance between
the straightedge and main roller is approxi-
mately 1⁄8".
6. Tighten both cap screws in an even manner
and recheck the distance between the plat-
en and the main roller to make sure that it
did not move when you tightened the cap
screws.
— If the platen did move, repeat steps 3-5
until it is positioned properly.
— If the platen did not move, then it is
adjusted correctly. Proceed to step 7.
7. Replace the sanding belt and dust port, and
retrack the sanding belt with the tracking
knob before resuming sanding operations.
