SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Grounding
110V Operation
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 hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
The Model G3105 is wired for 110/120V, single
phase operation only. The 1⁄2 HP motor will safely
draw 3 amps at 110V. If you operate this sander
on any circuit that is already close to its capacity,
it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker.
However, if an unusual load does not exist and a
power failure still occurs, contact a qualified elec-
trician or our service department.
This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually ground-
ed. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a
separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire
from the outlet to a known ground. Under
no circumstances should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged plug be removed.
Serious injury may occur.
Fusing
A 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used
when fusing this combination sander. Circuits
rated any higher are not adequate to protect the
motor from power surges.
Equipment returned to us for service that shows
evidence of being over-fused will be repaired or
replaced totally at the customer’s expense,
regardless of the present warranty status.
Extension Cords
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model G3105, make sure the cord is
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to
the chart in the standard safety instructions to
determine the minimum gauge for the extension
cord. The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords when they become worn
or damaged.

Clean Up
Site Consideration
Unpainted machine surfaces may be coated with
a waxy oil to protect it from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid
chlorine-based solvents as they may damage
painted surfaces should they come in contact.
Always follow the usage instructions on the prod-
uct you choose for clean up.
BENCH LOAD
Your G3105 Combination Sander represents a
relatively large weight load in a small footprint. Be
sure that your workbench is adequately rein-
forced to support the weight of the sander.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-
tances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without
limitation. Ensure that your working area offers
plenty of room for free movement and a substan-
tial amount of distance between you and others
that may be working in your shop area.
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be highly flammable,
and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always
work in well-ventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources when dealing
with solvents. Use care when disposing of
waste rags and towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environmental hazards.
Keep children and animals safely away
when cleaning and assembling this
machine.
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
combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be
located near each machine so power or exten-
sion cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.
Be sure to observe local electrical codes for prop-
er installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-
based solvents to remove this protective
coating. These products generally have low
flash points which makes them extremely
flammable. A risk of explosion and burning
exists if these products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur.
Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that
your workplace is inaccessible to young-
sters by closing and locking all entrances
when you are away. Never allow visitors in
your shop when assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Before beginning the assembly process, we rec-
Overview
ommend you become familiar with the Model
G3105 Combination Sander’s parts and controls.
See Figure 2 below, as well as the Parts Diagram
at the end of the manual for details.
Most of your G3105 Belt and Disc Sander has
been assembled at the factory. The few pieces
that remain should go together quickly and easi-
ly. Only a few common tools are required to
assemble your Combination Sander. Specifically,
these are: 12mm open end wrench, Phillips®
head screwdriver, 8mm Allen® wrench (provided
with machine). The following list provides the rec-
ommended order in which the sander should be
assembled:
All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge
(called “flashing”) on them after they are
formed. This is generally removed at the
factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might
escape inspection, and the sharp edge may
cause cuts or lacerations when handled.
Please examine the edges of all die-cut
metal parts and file or sand the edge to
remove the flashing before handling.

SECTION 6: Operations
General Sanding
Test-Run
Before you put your Combination Sander into
use, give it a quick inspection. Before inspecting,
ensure that the machine is switched off and dis-
connected from its power source.
For general wood sanding, position and secure
table, turn the machine on, and slowly feed your
workpiece into the belt or disc. For disc sanding,
note the direction of the disc’s rotation and be
sure to feed your workpiece into the disc’s down-
ward spin. Also, be sure to keep the work table
about 1⁄16" away from the belt or disc.
1. Are all fasteners tight?
2. Is the sanding belt properly tracked and
tensioned?
3. Rotate disc slowly by hand. Look and listen
for any scraping noises or anything that
impedes smooth movement. Make appro-
priate adjustments before attempting to run
the machine.
Belt Sanding
4. If the sander appears to be free of prob-
lems that might affect its operation, plug it
in to its power source and start the
machine. Be sure to keep a finger on the
OFF button, just in case of a problem with
the machine. Allow to run briefly to allow
inspection of belt tracking.
The abrasive belt can be used to sand wood,
deburr metal, or polish plastic and glass. The 1"
belt size is convenient for sanding in corners and
for concave edges. The belt is most efficient
when used with the table. The belt housing can
be tilted to a horizontal position by loosening the
cap screw at the base and tilting the assembly
back. Retighten the cap screw before beginning
sanding. See Figure 9.
5. Turn off the machine, disconnect it from its
power source, and re-inspect for loose fas-
teners. If the tracking is not correct, refer to
the tracking adjustment guidelines in the
Adjustments section.
Never use the Model G3105 for applications
other than those for which it was made. DO
NOT overload the machine or use excess
force when sanding. Severe personal
injury, damage to the machine, or damage
to your workpiece could occur.

Disc Sanding
NOTICE
When grinding or polishing metal, the use
of a metal abrasive is recommended. The
use of a grease stick may also be neces-
sary when grinding soft metals such as alu-
minum or brass.
Disc sanding is well suited for finishing small flat
surfaces and curved edges. The down (right)
side of the disc is the working area. The disc
moves fastest and removes the most material at
the outer edge. A miter gauge that fits in the slot
in the table is provided. Use it to secure the work-
piece and to hold the proper angle when disc
sanding. See Figure 10.
Figure 11. Auxiliary table for sharpening.
Contour Sanding
Figure 10. Disc sanding.
Remove the platen to allow the 1" sanding belt to
follow the shape of your workpiece. Slowly feed
the workpiece into the belt. Do not apply too
much pressure while sanding.
Sharpening
Tilt table to the desired sharpening angle and
tighten the locking knobs. Using C-Clamps,
attach a suitable wood scrap to the table. This
wood table should allow the flat shank of the chis-
el or knife to sit flat so the proper angle against
the disc can be achieved. See Figure 11. This
acts as an auxiliary table to support the work-
1
piece. This table should be ⁄16" away from the
belt. It may be necessary to cut a notch in your
auxiliary table to achieve this clearance.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Belts and Discs
General
Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time
you use it. Check for the following conditions and
repair or replace when necessary.
The Sanding Disc accepts 6" diameter cloth or
paper backed sanding discs. The belt sander
requires a 1" x 42" sanding belt. For disc or belt
sanding, we recommend a 100 grit (medium)
material for general purpose sanding, a 60 grit
(coarse) material for rough work, and a 150 grit
(fine) material for finish jobs.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Poor belt tensioning ⁄ tracking.
BELT REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the belt table and the belt guard.
2. Release tension on the belt.
3. Slip the belt off the top wheel and release
the Belt Tensioning Lever.
4. Remove the belt from the machine.
Sander Tables
5. Slide the new belt over the lower wheel,
push back on the Belt Tensioning Lever,
and slip the belt over the top wheel.
Release the tension. Note: Make sure the
directional arrows point down toward the
table when installed.
The working table and other non-painted sur-
faces on the Model G3105 should be protected
against rust and pitting. Some woodworkers rec-
ommend using automotive paste wax on
exposed steel and cast iron surfaces. If you use
paste wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba
wax.
6. Replace the belt guard and table.
DISC REPLACEMENT
1. Remove Sanding Disc Table.
2. Carefully peel off old sanding disc paper.
Make sure disc is free of all adhesives and
foreign materials. Do not use petroleum-
based solvents to clean the aluminum disc.
This adversely affects adhesion.
Lubrication
Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require
no lubrication.
3. Peel paper backing from new sanding
paper disc.
As for other items on this machine, such as roller
shafts, use an occasional “shot” of light machine
oil. Wipe off any sawdust or grit with a clean cloth
before applying light oil.
4. Center the sanding disc on the aluminum
disc. Hold in place for one minute using
firm pressure.
5. Replace Sanding Disc Table.

Like all power tools, there is danger associ-

lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention.
Use this tool with respect and caution to
lessen the possibility of operator injury. If
normal safety precautions are overlooked
or ignored, serious personal injury may
occur.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to launch flying debris which could 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 glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
