WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals 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 filter out microscopic
particles.

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.

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
Figure 1. NEMA 5-15 plug and
grounded outlet.
Amperage Draw
The Model G0518 is prewired to operate at 110V,
with an amperage draw of approximately 12A.
Plug Type
The Model G0518 is supplied with a NEMA 5-15
plug. DO NOT modify the plug or power cord in
any way. See Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and
grounded outlet.
Circuit Breaker Requirements
We recommend operating the machine on a ded-
icated circuit. Because the machine draws 12A
when operated at 110V, use a 15A circuit break-
er. Circuit breakers rated any higher are not ade-
quate to protect the circuit from overheating and
fire.
Your Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu-
larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician or our service department.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the assembly
process. DO NOT connect the machine to
the power source until instructed to do so.

G0518 Drum / Flap Sander -7-
Figure 2. NEMA 6-15 plug and
grounded outlet.
Amperage Draw
The Model G0518 can be rewired to operate at
220V, with an amperage draw of approximately
6A.
Plug Type
If the Model G0518 is rewired to operate at 220V,
the existing plug must be replaced with a NEMA
6-15 plug. A suitable 220V power source must be
used along with a properly grounded outlet. See
Figure 1 for a NEMA 6-15 plug and grounded
outlet.
Circuit Breaker Requirements
We recommend operating the machine on a ded-
icated circuit. Because the machine draws 6A
when operated at 220V, use a 10A double-pole
circuit breaker. Circuit breakers rated any higher
are not adequate to protect the circuit from over-
heating and fire.
Your Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu-
larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician or our service department.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the assembly
process. DO NOT connect the machine to
the power source until instructed to do so.
NOTICE
If a 220V power source will be used, rewire
the power switch before assembling the
motor to the stand. See Page 26 for complete
instructions on rewiring the sander.
220V Operation

-8- G0518 Drum / Flap Sander
Grounding Extension Cord
No single list of electrical guidelines can
be comprehensive for all shop environ-
ments. Operating this machinery may
require additional electrical upgrades spe-
cific to your machine and shop environ-
ment. It is your responsibility to make sure
your electrical systems comply with all
local electrical codes and ordinances.
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.
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 machine is equipped with a power cord
that has an equipment-grounding prong. The out-
let must be properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an
extension cord while operating this machine on a
110V power source:
•Make sure the cord is rated for Standard
Service (Grade S) or better.
•The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
•Use a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50 feet long
or less.
•Use a 14 gauge cord if the cord is between 50
and 100 feet long.
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the
placement 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 while operating this machine on a
220V power source:
•Make sure the cord is rated for Standard
Service (Grade S) or better.
•The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
•Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 100
feet long or less.
Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correct-
ly. Make sure all electri-
cal circuits are ground-
ed. Do not use the
machine if it is not
grounded.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or
green and yellow striped insulation is the
grounding conductor.

Clean Up Site Considerations
Unsupervised children
and visitors inside your
shop could receive seri-
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.
Unpainted surfaces may be coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this waxy oil with a solvent clean-
er or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s
G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some
parts may need to be removed. The machine
will operate best when the waxy oil is
removed from all moving and sliding parts.
Chlorine-based cleaners and solvents will dam-
age the painted surfaces of the machine. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.
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.
Smoking near solvents
could ignite an explosion
or fire and cause serious
injury. DO NOT smoke
while using solvents.
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.
Weight Load
The Model G0518 is a medium weight load with a
small footprint. Most shop floors should be suffi-
cient 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 lim-
itation. Consider existing and anticipated machine
needs, size of material to be processed through
each machine, and space for auxiliary stands
and/or work tables. Also consider the relative
position of each machine to one another for effi-
cient material handling.
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
the amperage draw. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension cords
are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local elec-
trical codes for proper installation of new lighting,
outlets, or circuits.
