Additional Safety for Combination Sanders  
DISC DIRECTION. only sand on the downward-  
moving left side of the sanding disc. sanding on  
the upward-moving right side of the sanding disc  
forces the operator to rely only on hands (rather  
than the table) for support, which increases the  
risk of workpiece "kick-out" and impact/abrasion  
injuries.  
WORKpIECE INSpECTION. nails, staples,  
knots, or other imperfections in the workpiece  
can be dislodged and thrown from the sander at a  
high rate of speed into the operator or bystanders,  
or cause damage to sandpaper or sander. never  
attempt to sand stock that has embedded foreign  
objects or questionable imperfections.  
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entan-  
gled in the moving parts of this machine can  
cause pinching and crushing injuries. to avoid  
these hazards, do not wear loose clothing,  
gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long hair. Keep all  
guards in place and secure.  
fEEDING WORKpIECE. Forcefully jamming the  
workpiece into the sanding surface could cause  
the workpiece to be aggressively grabbed and  
pull your hands into the sanding surface. always  
firmly grasp the workpiece in both hands and  
ease it into the sandpaper using light pressure.  
HAND pLACEMENT. rotating sandpaper can  
remove a large amount of flesh in a few seconds.  
always keep hands away from the sandpaper  
during operation. never touch moving sandpaper  
on purpose.  
SANDpApER CONDITION. sandpaper that is  
worn or damaged not only produces poor sand-  
ing results, but could fly apart, aggressively grab  
the workpiece, and throw debris at the operator.  
always inspect the sandpaper before operation  
and replace it if worn or damaged.  
MINIMUM  
STOCK  
DIMENSION.  
small  
workpieces can be aggressively pulled from your  
hands and present injury hazards. always use a  
jig or other holding device when sanding small  
workpieces, and keep your hands and fingers at  
least 2" away from the sanding surface.  
IN-RUNNING NIp pOINTS. the gap between  
the moving sandpaper and the 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 the table no more than 116" away  
from the sandpaper.  
WORKpIECE SUppORT. Workpiece kickback  
can occur with violent force if the workpiece is  
not properly supported during operation. always  
sand with the workpiece firmly against the table  
or another support device.  
WORKpIECE INTEGRITY. only sand solid  
workpieces that can withstand the forces required  
for power sanding. make sure the shape of the  
workpiece can be properly supported on the  
table; avoid sanding workpieces without flat bot-  
tom surfaces unless some type of jig is used to  
maintain support and control when the sanding  
force is applied.  
SANDING DUST. sanding creates large amounts  
of dust and flying chips that can lead to eye injury  
or respiratory illness. reduce the risk of these  
hazards by always wearing approved eye and  
respiratory protection when using the sander.  
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre-  
quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect  
and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked  
or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

SECTION 2: pOWER SUppLY  
Availability  
Circuit Information  
Before installing the machine, consider the avail-  
ability 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 electrocu-  
tion, fire, or equipment damage, installation work  
and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified  
electrician in accordance with all applicable codes  
and standards.  
A power supply circuit includes all electrical  
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel  
in the building and the machine. The power sup-  
ply 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.)  
For your own safety and protection of  
property, consult a qualified electrician if  
you are unsure about wiring practices or  
electrical codes in your area.  
Electrocution, fire, or  
equipment damage may  
occur if machine is not  
correctly grounded and  
connected to the power  
supply.  
Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-  
ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one  
machine will be running at a time. If this machine  
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul-  
tiple machines will be running at the same time,  
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the  
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.  
full-Load Current Rating  
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.  
Circuit Requirements for 110V  
This machine is prewired to operate on a 110V  
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and  
meets the following requirements:  
full-Load Current Rating at 110V...... 12 Amps  
full-Load Current Rating at 220V ....... 6 Amps  
Nominal Voltage ...............................110V/120V  
Cycle..........................................................60 Hz  
phase........................................... Single-phase  
Circuit Rating...................................... 15 Amps  
plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 5-15  
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 over-  
loading the machine during operation and make  
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that  
meets the requirements in the following section.  
Circuit Requirements for 220V  
This machine can be converted to operate on a  
220V power supply (refer to Voltage Conversion  
instructions). This power supply must have a veri-  
fied ground and meet the following requirements:  
Nominal Voltage .............................. 220V/240V  
Cycle..........................................................60 Hz  
phase........................................... Single-phase  
Circuit Rating...................................... 15 Amps  
plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 6-15

For 220V operation: The plug specified under  
“Circuit Requirements for 220V” on the previous  
page has a grounding prong that must be attached  
to the equipment-grounding wire on the included  
power cord. The plug must only be inserted into  
a matching receptacle (see following figure) that  
is properly installed and grounded in accordance  
with all local codes and ordinances.  
Grounding Requirements  
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.  
For 110V operation: This machine is equipped  
with a power cord that has an equipment-ground-  
ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig-  
ure). The plug must only be inserted into a match-  
ing receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed  
and grounded in accordance with all local codes  
and ordinances.

5-15 PLUG  
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 nec-  
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding  
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per-  
sonnel 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, discon-  
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with  
a new one.  
SHOCK HAZARD!  
Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding  
requirements for this machine. Do not modify  
or use an adapter on the plug provided—if  
it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified  
electrician install the proper outlet with a  
verified ground.  
Serious injury could occur if you connect  
the machine to power before completing the  
setup process. DO NOT connect to power  
until instructed later in this manual.

Extension Cords  
Voltage Conversion  
We do not recommend using an extension cord  
with this machine. If you must use an extension  
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only  
on a temporary basis.  
the voltage conversion must be performed  
by an electrician or qualified service personnel.  
make sure the power supply circuit for the new  
voltage meets the specified circuit requirement on  
page 11.  
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may  
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).  
To convert the machine to 220V:  
1. disConneCt maChine From poWer!  
Any extension cord used with this machine must  
contain a ground wire, match the required plug  
and receptacle, and meet the following require-  
ments:  
2. replace the 5-15 plug on the power cord with  
a 6-15 plug.  
3. re-wire the motor as illustrated in the wiring  
diagram on page 39.  
Minimum Gauge Size...........................12 AWG  
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.  
Note: If the diagram included on the motor  
conflicts with the one in this manual, the  
motor may have changed since the manual  
was printed. Use the diagram provided on the

Cleanup  
Gasoline or products  
with low flash points can  
explode or cause fire if  
used to clean machin-  
ery. Avoid cleaning with  
these products.  
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are  
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that  
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.  
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it  
will take a little time to clean.  
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your  
machine. The time you spend doing this now will  
give you a better appreciation for the proper care  
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.  
Many cleaning solvents  
are toxic if concentrat-  
ed amounts are inhaled.  
Only work in a well-venti-  
lated area.  
There are many ways to remove this rust preven-  
tative, but the following steps work well in a wide  
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-  
turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you  
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated  
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.  
NOTICE  
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as  
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may  
damage painted surfaces. Test all cleaners  
in an inconspicuous area before using to  
make sure they will not damage paint.  
Before cleaning, gather the following:  
Disposable Rags  
Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)  
Safety glasses & disposable gloves  
Plastic paint scraper (optional)  
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:  
1. Put on safety glasses.  
2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal  
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak  
for 5–10 minutes.  
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-  
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe  
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,  
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe  
off the rest with the rag.  
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,  
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality  
metal protectant to prevent rust.

Site Considerations  
Weight Load  
Physical Environment  
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight  
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon  
which the machine is placed will bear the weight  
of the machine, additional equipment that may be  
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-  
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the  
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading  
that may occur when operating the machine.  
The physical environment where your machine  
is operated is important for safe operation and  
the longevity of its components. For best results,  
operate this machine in a dry environment that is  
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-  
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.  
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are  
generally those where the ambient temperature  
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity  
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the  
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or  
bumps.  
Space Allocation  
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will  
be processed through this machine and provide  
enough space around the machine for adequate  
operator material handling or the installation of  
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,  
leave enough space around the machine to open  
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-  
tenance and service described in this manual.  
See below for required space allocation.  
Electrical Installation  
Place this machine near an existing power source.  
Make sure all power cords are protected from  
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,  
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to  
a means of disconnecting the power source or  
engaging a lockout/tagout device.  
Lighting  
Children or untrained people  
may be seriously injured by  
this machine. Only install in an  
access restricted location.  
Lighting around the machine must be adequate  
enough that operations can be performed safely.  
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract  
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

To assemble the sander:  
bolts for mounting the machine to a workbench.  
We strongly recommend that you mount your  
machine to a workbench to prevent it from moving  
during operation. an unexpected movement could  
result in an injury or property damage.  
1. unthread the screw cap on the sanding  
belt table lock lever, remove the lever, then  
unthread the lock bolt and flat washer from  
the sander (see figure 12).  
the strongest mounting option is a "through  
mount" where holes are drilled all the way through  
the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex  
nuts are used to secure the drill press to the work-  
bench.

3. loosen the hex bolts underneath the table  
that secure it to the trunnion(s).  
Checking Belt  
Tracking  
Note: The sanding belt table has three hex  
bolts (see Figure 21), and the sanding disc  
table has two hex bolts on both sides of the  
table (see Figure 22).  
proper belt tracking depends on two conditions:  
1) the platen height, and 2) the upper roller paral-  
lelism.  
the upper belt roller is designed with a slight  
crown in the middle, and the belt platen should be  
even with the highest point of this crown to ensure  
proper belt tracking.  
hex Bolts  
additionally, the upper roller should be parallel  
to the lower roller so that the sanding belt rides  
evenly in the middle of the rollers.  
To check the belt tracking:  
figure 21. sanding belt trunnion hex bolts.  
1. disConneCt sander From poWer!  
2. put on heavy leather gloves to protect your  
hands from the abrasive sandpaper  
3. rotate the sandpaper belt down toward the  
table several times by hand—not by pow-  
eras fast as possible (see figure 23).  
—if the belt stays centered on the rollers,  
continue to the Dust Collection procedure  
on page 22.  
hex Bolts  
—if the belt begins moving to one side or  
the other, perform the Tracking Roller &  
platen Adjustment on page 35 to make  
sure the belt tracks properly.

4. adjust the table so that when the square is  
flat against the miter face and the sanding  
surface at the same time, and that the table is  
1
no more than 16" away from the sandpaper,  
then re-tighten the hex bolts.  
5. repeat Step 2 to make sure the table  
is properly positioned. if necessary, repeat  
Steps 3–4 until it is.

To connect the sander to the dust collection  
system:  
Dust Collection  
1. Fit the dust hoses over both dust ports, as  
shown in figure 24, and secure them in  
place with hose clamps.  
DO NOT operate the Model G1183/G1276  
without an adequate dust collection system.  
This sander creates substantial amounts of  
wood dust while operating. failure to use a  
dust collection system can result in short  
and long-term respiratory illness.  
2. tug the hoses to make sure they do not  
come off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for  
proper performance.  
Recommended CfM at:  
3" dust port................................220 CFm  
212" dust hose........................... 150 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 col-  
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches  
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines  
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-  
culate these variables is beyond the scope of  
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a  
good dust collection "how-to" book.

SECTION 4: OpERATIONS  
To complete a typical operation, the operator  
does the following:  
Operation Overview  
1. examines the workpiece to make sure it is  
suitable for sanding.  
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-  
ice machine operator with a basic understanding  
of how the machine is used during operation, so  
the machine controls/components discussed later  
in this manual are easier to understand.  
2. adjusts the table tilt, if necessary, to the cor-  
rect angle for the operation.  
3. makes sure the sandpaper is in good condi-  
tion and properly mounted.  
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is  
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn  
more about specific operations, read this entire  
manual and seek additional training from expe-  
rienced machine operators, and do additional  
research outside of this manual by reading "how-  
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.  
4. puts on safety glasses and a respirator, and  
turns the dust collection system ON.  
5. starts the sander.  
6. makes sure the sanding belt is tracking prop-  
erly.  
7. Feeds the workpiece slowly into the sand-

Sandpaper Selection  
Sanding Belt  
Replacement  
sanding a workpiece smooth requires using pro-  
gressively smaller grit sandpaper until the desired  
finish is attained.  
the model g1183/g1276 ships with a pre-installed  
80-grit, 6" x 48" sanding belt.  
the abrasiveness of sandpaper is designated  
in grit sizethe larger the number, the finer the  
abrasive and the smaller the scratches. thus, 100  
grit is finer than 60 grit.  
Tools Needed  
phillips head screwdriver #2 ............................1  
Qty  
To change the sanding belt:  
typically, sanding operations start with a coarse  
grit and progressively work through the finer  
(larger number) grits until the desired finish is  
achieved. avoid skipping a grit to achieve the best  
results.  
1. disConneCt sander From poWer!  
2. loosen the four phillips head screws that  
secure the left cover of the sanding belt hous-  
ing, then remove the cover.  
Choosing the correct grits involve many factors,  
such as the workpiece condition, type/hardness,  
and the desired finish.  
3. pull the spring-loaded quick-release tension  
lever forward to lower the top roller, then  
remove the sanding belt.  
there are many types of sanding belts and discs  
to choose from. We recommend aluminum oxide  
for general workshop environments. Below is a  
chart that groups abrasives into different classes  
and shows which grits fall into each class.  
Note: Typically, sanding belts have a direc-  
tion arrow printed on the inside. Match this  
arrow with the direction arrow label on top  
of the sanding belt housing (see Figure 30).  
This will ensure that belt seams are correctly  
oriented for longer belt life.

center the new belt on the top roller, then  
release the tension lever.  
5. perform the Checking Belt Tracking on  
page 21 to ensure the new belt will track  
properly during operation.

Disc Sandpaper  
Replacement  
Disc Sanding  
the model g1183/g1276 sander ships with a pre-  
installed 80-grit, 12" diameter adhesive-backed  
sanding disc.  
Only sand on the downward-moving left side  
of the sanding disc. Sanding on the upward-  
moving right side of the sanding disc forces  
the operator to rely only on hands (rather  
than the table) for support, which increases  
the risk of workpiece "kick-out" and impact/  
abrasion injuries.  
the sanding disc sticks to the surface of the cast  
iron disc platen, using the pressure-sensitive  
adhesive (psa) backing. the sandpaper can be  
replaced without removing the table or dust port.  
To replace the disc sandpaper:  
refer to figures 32–35 for examples of sand-  
ing operations that are possible with the sanding  
disc.  
1. disConneCt sander From poWer!  
2. peel off the old sandpaper, clean the disc  
surface with mineral spirits, then wipe it dry.  
3. peel back the protective layer on one-half  
of the sandpaper disc and fold it against the  
remaining half.  
4. slip the half with the protective layer between  
the disc and the table edge (see figure 31  
for an example).  
figure 32. example photo of 90° disc sanding.  
figure 31. example photo of installing the  
sandpaper disc.  
5. position the exposed adhesive on the upper  
half of the aluminum disc that extends above  
the table. once it is positioned evenly across  
the disc, press the adhesive onto the sur-  
face.  
figure 33. example of miter sanding.  
6. rotate the disc so the lower half is above the  
table. peel off the other half of the protective  
paper, then press the remaining sandpaper  
against the disc so adhesion is complete.

Belt Sanding  
the sanding belt removes material faster than the  
sanding disc, and can be secured at any angle  
from horizontal to completely vertical with the use  
of the pivot cap screw shown in figure 36.

If the sanding belt or table unexpectedly  
moves when sanding, your hands could slip  
and contact the moving sandpaper, result-  
ing in abrasion injuries. Always make sure  
the table lock lever and the sanding belt  
pivot cap screw are tight before operation.

Always sand with the workpiece supported  
by the table. Relying only hands to sup-  
port the workpiece increases the risk of  
workpiece "kick-out" and impact/abrasion  
injuries.  
refer to figures 37–40 for examples of sanding  
operations that are possible with the belt sanding  
assembly.

figure 37. sanding workpiece in horizontal  
position.  
figure 40. examples of vertical face and edge  
sanding.  
Sanding workpieces with high-resin content  
or with applied finishes can quickly con-  
taminate the sandpaper beyond the point  
where it can be properly cleaned. This  
will produce poor sanding results. In this  
case, use a different workpiece, remove the  
applied finishes, or frequently clean/replace  
the sandpaper strip.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE  
Cleaning &  
protecting Machine  
Always disconnect power  
to the machine before  
performing maintenance.  
failure to do this may result  
in serious personal injury.  
Cleaning the model g1183/g1276 is relatively  
easy. vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust,  
and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.  
if any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving  
cleaner to remove it.  
Schedule  
protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the  
table by wiping the table clean after every use—  
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not  
remain on bare metal surfaces. then apply a non-  
staining rust preventative that does not contain  
silicone or oil.  
For optimum performance from your machine,  
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any  
specific instructions given in this section.  
Before & During Operation:  
loose mounting bolts.  
damaged, excessively worn, or clogged  
sandpaper.  
Worn or damaged switch or wires.  
excessive dust build-up.  
efficiency of the dust collection system.  
any other unsafe condition.  
Cleaning Sandpaper  
When the sandpaper surface becomes clogged  
with resin or gummy sawdust, the efficiency of the  
sanding operation is significantly reduced and can  
leave glazed or gouge marks in the workpiece.  
Lubrication  
regularly clean the belt and disc sandpaper by  
using crepe-rubber cleaners (see Accessories  
on page 31 for options from grizzly).  
all bearings on the sander are permanently lubri-  
cated and sealed, and they need no further atten-  
tion unless they require replacement.
