Manual Before Operating This Equipment  
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.  
This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level  
of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below.  
Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substi-  
tute for proper accident prevention measures.  
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
WILL result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
COULD result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert  
against unsafe practices.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about  
proper operation of the equipment.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make  
sure your extension cord is in good condi-  
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The amperage  
rating should be listed on the motor or tool  
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause  
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire and  
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-  
sion cords if they become damaged.  
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.  
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-  
mended accessories. The use of improper  
accessories may cause risk of injury.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-  
AL STARTING. On machines with magnet-  
ic contact starting switches there is a risk of  
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.  
Always disconnect from power source  
before adjusting or servicing. Make sure  
switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.  
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords  
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-  
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part  
that is damaged should be carefully  
checked to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended function.  
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,  
mounting, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or other  
part that is damaged should be properly  
repaired or replaced.

UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-  
ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any  
instructions you give in regards to machine  
operation are approved, correct, safe, and  
clearly understood.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold  
work when practical. It’s safer than using your  
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.  
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.  
21. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-  
ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-  
ed operation, stop using the machine! Then  
contact our service department or ask a  
qualified expert how the operation should  
be performed.

Clean Up  
Site Considerations  
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.  
Weight Load  
The Model G0527 weighs 890 lbs and has a 29"  
x 1634" footprint. Most shop floors should be suf-  
ficient to carry the weight of the machine.  
Reinforce the floor if you question its ability to  
support the weight.  
Working Clearance  
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-  
tances 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 effi-  
cient material handling.  
Gasoline and petroleum  
products have low flash  
points and could explode  
if used to clean machin-  
ery. DO NOT use gaso-  
line or petroleum prod-  
ucts to clean the machin-  
ery.  
Work Area Lightening  
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate  
shadow and prevent eye strain.  
Unsupervised  
and visitors inside your  
shop could receive seri-  
children  
Smoking near solvents  
could ignite an explosion  
or fire and cause serious  
injury. DO NOT smoke  
while using solvents.  
ous  
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.  
Lack of ventilation while  
using solvents could  
cause serious personal  
health risks, fire, or  
environmental hazards.  
Always work in a well  
ventilated area to pre-  
vent the accumulation  
of dangerous fumes.  
Supply the work area  
with a constant source  
of fresh air.

Air Line Hook-Up  
Dust Collection  
To hook up the air line:  
An efficient and clean dust collection system is  
essential to the proper function of the sander.  
Ensuring a healthy work environment is also  
dependent upon cleaning and maintaining your  
dust collection system.  
1. Connect the hose from your air compressor  
to the air inlet (Figure 7) on the regulator.  
2. Make sure the red handle on the regulator is  
in the open position (parallel with the air  
inlet).  
To hook up the dust collection system:  
1. Install the 4" dust port (Figure 8) on the  
mounting locations at the top of the sanding  
unit with the supplied M6-1.0 x 10 phillips  
head screws.  
3. Lift the black regulator knob (Figure 7) and  
adjust it until the air pressure gauge reads 75  
PSI. Note—Turn the dial clockwise to  
increase the air pressure and counterclock-  
wise to lower the air pressure.  
4. Push the regulator knob down until it snaps.

Pressure Rollers  
Serious personal injury could result if the  
machine is connected to the power source  
during assembly or adjustment. Wait until  
the machine is turned off, unplugged and all  
working parts have come to a complete stop  
before you attempt to assemble or adjust the  
machine!  
The pressure rollers have been set at the factory,  
but for safety, you should verify that they are set  
below the level of the sanding roller.  
It is absolutely essential to keep the pres-  
sure rollers set below the level of the sand-  
ing roller. If the pressure rollers are even, or  
higher than the sanding roller, the wood  
could be propelled from the sander at a  
high rate of speed. This situation could  
cause serious personal injury.  
Loose hair and clothing  
could get caught in  
machinery causing seri-  
ous personal injury.  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and long hair  
tied up and away from  
machinery.  
To check the pressure roller height:  
1. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source!  
Projectiles thrown from  
the machine could cause  
serious eye injury. Wear  
safety glasses during  
start up.  
2. Place a piece of scrap wood of uniform thick-  
ness across the table so it spans both the  
front and rear pressure rollers at the same  
time.  
3. With the air pressure connected and the  
sanding belt installed and tensioned, manu-  
ally raise the table and verify that the board  
touches both pressure rollers before it touch-  
es the sanding belt. Note—If the board does  
not touch both pressure rollers before it  
touches the sanding belt, then the pressure  
rollers must be adjusted before operation.  
See "Pressure Rollers" on page 31 for step-  
by-step instructions on how to do this.  
Before starting the machine:  
1. Read this manual and make sure you take all  
safety precautions before operating this  
machine.  
2. Make sure the machine is connected to an  
air compressor and the pressure gauge  
reads 75 PSI.  
3. Make sure all tools or foreign objects have  
been removed from the machine.  
4. Review Section 3: Circuit Requirements on  
page 6 and make sure all the wiring is cor-  
rect.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS  
Before Sanding  
Choosing Sandpaper  
Your safety is important! Please follow the  
warnings below during this entire section:  
NOTICE  
#100 and #150 grit sanding belts are includ-  
ed with the Model G0527.  
To avoid serious personal injury, read and  
become familiar with the entire instruction  
manual before using the Model G0527.  
The grit you choose will depend on the type of  
work, the species of wood and the stage of fin-  
ishing. Below is a chart that groups abrasives into  
different categories and shows which grits fall into  
each one. We recommend using aluminum oxide  
sanding belts for best results.  
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears  
could result from failure to wear safety  
glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protec-  
tion while sanding with this machine.  
Grit  
Type  
60  
Coarse  
80-100  
Medium  
Fine  
120-150  
The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece  
with progressively higher grit numbers, with no  
one grit increase of more than 50; however, the  
type of wood and desired finish will determine the  
best grit to use.  
Loose hair and clothing  
could get caught in  
machinery and cause  
serious personal injury.  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and long hair  
tied up and away from  
machinery.

Table Movement  
Adjusting Feed Rate  
The table height can be adjusted either manually  
or by power assist.  
The feed belt motor and gear assembly (Figure  
13) controls the speed of the feed belt. The Model  
G0527 features feed belt speeds of 16.4, 23, and  
32.8 FPM.  
Manual Adjustment—Manual adjustments are  
made by turning the handwheel located under the  
front of the infeed table. The thickness measure-  
ment is displayed on the digital readout.

to remove too much material can cause jamming,  
wood burning, rapid paper wear or tearing, poor  
finish and belt slippage.  
Figure 14.  
The following is the correct sanding operating  
procedure:  
1. Wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and  
hearing protection!  
2. Turn on the dust collector.  
3. On the initial pass, adjust the table to  
1
approximately ⁄4" greater than the thickness  
of the workpiece. Note—This reduces the  
chance of jamming the sander on undetect-  
ed high points on the workpiece.  
Figure 14. Amperage meter.  
4. Continue to raise the table 116" between each  
successive pass until the sander begins to  
sand the workpiece.  
Normal Operating Load  
G0527, single-phase, 220V....................35 amps  
If the sanding operation draws current in excess  
of this limit, you run the risk of tripping the circuit  
breaker and the overload relays in the electrical  
box.  
NOTICE  
It may be necessary to send wide stock  
through the sander two or three times  
between table height adjustments. This  
reduces the likelihood of burning the wood  
and produces a more consistent finished  
thickness.  
NOTICE  
There are many variables that affect the  
overall load on the sander. Depth of cut, the  
species of wood being sanded, the grit size  
on the sanding belt, and the feed rate, all  
contribute to the load on the sander. As a  
general rule, always start with a small load  
and work your way up. DO NOT push your  
machine to its maximum load; instead,  
make multiple passes, install a coarser grit  
paper, or reduce the feed rate.

3. Pull the mounting pins out of the caliper  
bracket and remove the air line from the  
caliper. The caliper should now be able to be  
removed as in Figure 15.  
Servicing Brakes  
Eventually the brake pads will wear out. Checking  
and replacing these is a simple project that can  
be done in the shop, with the exception of having  
the rotor resurfaced.  
4. The brake pads are secured to the caliper  
with cap screws. One of these screws is eas-  
ily accessible; the other can only be reached  
by disassembling the brake caliper. Do this  
and remove the cap screws to remove the  
brake pads.  
To check the brake pads:  
1. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source and remove air pressure com-  
pletely!  
2. Remove the four screws that secure the  
motor cover on the right-hand side of the  
machine. Note—The brake caliper is located  
underneath the rotor, which is attached to the  
motor arbor.  
Caliper  
3. The brake pads consist of a metal plate with  
a composite pad. With a fine ruler, measure  
the thickness of the composite pad only. If  
1
one of the pads is below 8" (approx. 3mm),  
replace both.  
Figure 15. Disc brake components.  
To perform a pad replacement:  
5. Remove the brake rotor and have it profes-  
sionally resurfaced. For this, find a local  
machinist or auto supply store that regularly  
resurfaces brake rotors for automobiles. If  
visible cracks are present in the brake rotor,  
replace it with a new one. Remove oil and  
dirt from the rotor with automotive brake  
cleaner. Once clean, only handle the rotor  
with a dry rag and install exactly the reverse  
of removal.  
1. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source and remove air pressure com-  
pletely!  
2. Remove the nuts from the two mounting  
bolts. There are two snap rings on the  
mounting pins behind the bracket. Remove  
these.  
6. Install new brake pads, mount the caliper  
and reconnect the air line.

Air Circuit Filters  
Clean Sanding Belts  
You can greatly increase the lifespan of your  
sanding belts if you clean them often. As men-  
tioned on page 35, cleaning pads are the fastest  
way to clean wood dust from the sanding belts.  
The air filter on the Model G0527 is located on  
the main regulator (Figure 16). Empty the filter  
trap as it becomes filled with moisture and dirt.  
The internal white filter should be replaced year-  
ly.

3. Watch as the belt either oscillates back and  
forth continuously, or tracks into one of the  
two limit switches, triggering the emergency  
brake.  
Belt Oscillation  
— If the belt tracks into either limit switch,  
adjust the two air flow adjustment knobs  
independently of one another until the the  
belt no longer hits the limit switches. Trial  
and error may be necessary.  
NOTICE  
The oscillation adjustments have been per-  
formed at the factory and should require no  
further attention. However, we recommend  
verifying the settings.  
— If the oscillation time is not consistent  
from one direction to the other, the air  
cylinder arm needs to be lengthened or  
shortened according to the following  
guidelines:  
When the oscillation is correctly adjusted, the  
sanding belt oscillates to the left and to the right  
at the same speed and without coming into con-  
tact with the limit switches. If the sanding belt  
oscillates too far to the left or right, making con-  
tact with the limit switches as shown in Figure 19,  
the emergency braking system will activate.  
• If the belt tracks away from the air  
cylinder faster, shorten the arm.  
• If the belts tracks towards the air cylin-  
der faster, lengthen the arm. Note—A  
small adjustment goes a long way.  
Make many smaller adjustments rather  
than one or two large adjustments.  
Limit Switches  
— If the oscillation rate needs to be  
increased or decreased, adjust the air  
flow adjustment counter-clockwise in  
small, equal amounts until the desired  
speed is achieved. Note—A combination  
of knob adjustments and air cylinder arm  
length adjustments may be needed to  
achieve the ideal oscillation timing and  
speed. Trial and error adjustments may  
be necessary.

Table Mounting Bolts  
Table Parallelism  
NOTICE  
The table has been adjusted at the factory  
and should require no further attention.  
However, we recommend verifying that it is  
parallel with the sanding roller.  
Adjusting the table parallelism can be a very  
tedious task that takes a great amount of  
patience. DO NOT adjust the table unless you are  
having trouble sanding your workpiece to a uni-  
form thickness. Take precise notes on any  
adjustments you make to any of the table eleva-  
tion screws (Figure 20). This will allow the origi-  
nal setting to be re-established.  
Elevation Screws  
(Inside Dust Boots)  
Figure 20. View of table underside.  
5. To raise the elevation screws, turn them  
counterclockwise. To lower them, turn them  
clockwise. One quarter of a turn raises or  
lowers the elevation screws approximately  
0.020".  
To adjust the table parallelism:  
1. Pass a 24" wide board through the sander  
until the entire surface of the board is mak-  
ing contact with the sanding belt.  
6. Retighten the table mounting bolts loosened  
in step 4.  
7. Connect the sander to the power source.  
2. Measure the thickness of the board at vari-  
ous points around the edge.  
8. Repeat Steps 1-7 until the board is sanded  
to a uniform thickness.  
— If there is a variation of thickness, the  
table can be adjusted accordingly.  
3. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source!  
4. The corners of the table can be indepen-  
dently adjusted up or down by spinning the  
table elevation screws (Figure 20) located  
under each corner of the table. Note—The  
table mounting bolts (Figure 29) need to be  
removed first.  
NOTICE  
When adjusting the left front elevation  
screw, make the same adjustment to the left  
rear elevation screw. This ensures the  
height from the front to the back of the table  
remains unchanged. Do the same when  
adjusting the right elevation screws.
