If the products directions state what and what not the product could be used for and you went against the directions then I don't think a jury would award you anything.

But from your statement it doesn't sound like you even read the directions in the first place. Belt sanders are meant for wood, you should have had a stone grinder handy.

If this happened at work the best thing I could tell you is to open a workers comp claim.
Given that he has 25yrs of experience, I'll give him the benifit of the doubt that he can operate is sander & that something with the sander is odd. If it happened at work, then you should file a WC claim, like whosthatguy. You could then file a claim against Grizzly. Your employer would then get on this case and ask for any WC $$ back if you win.
