Assembly - Grizzly G1531 Owner's Manual

Assembly

The machine must be fully assembled before it
can be operated. Before beginning the assembly
process, refer to Needed for Setup and gather
all listed items. To ensure the assembly process
goes smoothly, first clean any parts that are cov-
ered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if
applicable).
To assemble your edge sander:
1. With the help of an assistant, carefully lay the
machine on its side.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
try to lay the machine over by yourself.
2.
Install the four feet in the bottom of the
base using the four 10-24 x
screws (Figure 8), then stand the machine
upright.
