Grizzly G0453, G0454 planer Manual

The Grizzly G0453 and G0454 are 15" and 20" mobile planers that remove material from the surface of natural wood fiber stock to make the workpiece flat. The planer uses a rotating cutterhead with adjustable knives to shave material from the workpiece as it is fed into the machine. The depth of cut is controlled by the operator, and the workpiece is fed through the machine at a controlled rate. The G0453 and G0454 are designed to handle a variety of wood sizes and thicknesses. They are also equipped with dust collection ports to help keep the work area clean.

Machine Description
The Model G0453/G0454 Planer is designed to
remove material in precise increments from the
surface of natural wood fiber stock to make the
workpiece flat.
Manufacture Date
Serial Number
-2-
Once the depth of cut is set, the workpiece is
placed on the table and moved into the infeed
roller, which pulls the workpiece under the rotating cutterhead where the material is removed.
After the workpiece is completely free from the
outfeed roller, the depth of cut is increased and
the workpiece is passed through the planer again.
This process continues until the workpiece is flat
and of the correct thickness.

A. Anti-Kickback Fingers: Provide additional
safety for the operator.
B. Serrated Infeed Roller: Pulls the workpiece
toward the cutterhead.
C.Chip Breaker: Breaks off chips created by
the cutterhead to prevent tear out and diverts
the chips to the dust port.
D. Chip Deflector: Directs chips into the dust
hood.
E.Cutterhead: Holds the knives that remove
material from the workpiece.
F. Pressure Bar: Stabilizes the workpiece as it
leaves the cutterhead and assists in deflecting wood particles toward the dust hood
(G0454 only).
G. Outfeed Rollers: Pulls the workpiece through
the planer.
H. Table Rollers: Provide upward pressure on
the workpiece enabling the feed rollers to pull
the workpiece along.
I. Planer Table: Provides a smooth and level
path for the workpiece as it moves through
the planer.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect
and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked
or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Availability
G0453 220V Circuit Requirements
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage............................... 220V/240V
Cycle...........................................................60 Hz
Phase..................................................... 1-Phase
Circuit Rating....................................... 20 Amps
Plug/Receptacle.............................. NEMA 6-20
Cord..........3-Wire, 12 AWG, 300VAC, “S”-Type
G0454 220V Circuit Requirements
Electrocution, fire, shock,
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
supply.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
G0453 Full-Load
Current Rating at 220V....................... 15 Amps
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage............................... 220V/240V
Cycle...........................................................60 Hz
Phase..................................................... 1-Phase
Circuit Rating....................................... 30 Amps
Plug/Receptacle............................NEMA L6-30
Cord..........3-Wire, 12 AWG, 300VAC, “S”-Type
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
G0454 Full-Load
Current Rating at 220V....................... 25 Amps
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
-12-
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult an electrician if you are
unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
G0453/G0454 (Mfg. Since 3/08)
Grounding Instructions
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
The plug specified under &quot;Circuit Requirements&quot;
on the previous page has a grounding prong that
must be attached to the equipment-grounding
wire on the included power cord. The plug must
only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see
the following figures) that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Figure 4. Typical L6-30 plug and receptacle.
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
NOTICE
G0453 Minimum Gauge Size................12 AWG
G0454 Minimum Gauge Size................10 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Current Carrying Prongs
No adapter is available or should be used
with this machine. If the machine must be
reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and
after reconnection, the machine must comply with all local codes and ordinances.

Cleanup
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
•
Disposable rags
•
Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
•
Safety glasses &amp; disposable gloves
•
Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avo i d
u sing t h e s e p r o d u c t s
to c l e a n m a c hin e r y.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled. Only
work in a well-ventilated
area.
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.

G0453/G0454 (Mfg. Since 3/08)
Site Considerations
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41&deg;–104&deg;F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or
the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,
or bumps.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or
other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space
around machine to disconnect power supply or
apply a lockout/tagout device, if required.
Lighting
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.

Dust Collection
DO NOT operate the Model G0453/G0454
without an adequate dust collection system.
This planer creates substantial amounts of
wood dust while operating. Failure to use a
dust collection system can result in short
and long-term respiratory illness.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port
• G0453...........................................400 CFM
• G0454...........................................625 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection &quot;how-to&quot; book.
Check Gearbox Oil
It is critical that you make sure there is oil in the
gearbox before proceeding with the test run. Refer
to the Lubrication instructions for the gearbox on
Page 32 for more details on which type of oil to
use, how much to use, and where to put it.
GEARBOXES MUST
BE FILLED WITH OIL!
Test Run
Once the assembly is complete, test run your
machine to make sure it runs properly and is
ready for regular operation. The test run consists
of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up
and runs correctly and 2) the stop button safety
feature works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
To reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this machine, read and
understand this entire
manual before beginning
any operations.
The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could
result from using this machine without
proper protective gear. Always wear safety
glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection
when operating this machine.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual, seek additional training from experienced
machine operators, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading &quot;how-to&quot; books,
trade magazines, or websites.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
acceptable for planing.
2. Puts on safety glasses or a face shield, a
respirator, and ear protection.
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep these items away
from moving parts at all
times to reduce this risk.
NOTICE
If you have never used this type of machine
or equipment before, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, review
industry trade magazines, or get formal
training before beginning any projects.
Regardless of the content in this section,
Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for
accidents caused by lack of training.
3. If necessary, uses a jointer to make one surface of the workpiece flat.
4. Correctly adjusts the worktable height for the
operation.
5. If the workpiece is longer than can be supported by the planer table, arranges for
assistance or roller accessories to support
the workpiece.
6. When all safety precautions have been taken,
turns the planer ON, then sets the correct
feed rate for the operation.
7. Stands to one side of the planer path to
reduce the risk of kickback injuries, then, with
the flat surface of the workpiece facing down,
feeds the workpiece into the planer until the
infeed roller grabs it.
8. Once the workpiece is clear of the outfeed
roller, turns the planer OFF.

Planing Tips
•
Use the full width of the planer. Alternate
between the left, the right and the middle of
the table when feeding lumber into the planer.
Your knives will remain sharp much longer.
•
Scrape all glue off of joined boards before
planing. Dried glue is extremely hard on the
knives.
•
Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. Do not
plane wood composites or other materials
that could break up in the planer and cause
operator injury or property damage.
Workpiece
Inspection
Some workpieces are not safe to use or may
require modification before they are. Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following:
•
Material Type: This machine is only intended for workpieces of natural wood fiber
Attempting to use workpieces of any other
material that may break apart during operation could lead to serious personal injury and
property damage.
•
•
To avoid chipping, plane the workpiece with
the grain. NEVER feed end-cut or endgrained lumber into your planer.
•
Keep your work area clear to help ensure
safe working conditions.
Foreign Objects: Inspect lumber for defects
and foreign objects (nails, staples, imbedded
gravel, etc,). If you have any question about
the quality of your lumber, DO NOT use it.
Remember, wood stacked on a concrete floor
can have small pieces of stone or concrete
pressed into the surface.
•
Always true any cupped or warped stock on a
jointer before planing and feed the workpiece
into the planer with the flat face down. This
will ensure the workpiece will not rock or twist
as it goes through the planer.
• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can
become dislodged during operation. Large
knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Always use workpieces that do not have
large/loose knots.
•
When possible, plane both faces of the
workpiece so that they will be parallel with
one another.
•
Wet or &quot;Green&quot; Stock: Avoid using wood
with a high water content. Wood with more
than 20% moisture content or wood exposed
to excessive moisture (such as rain or snow),
will cut poorly and cause excessive wear to
the machine. Excess moisture can also hasten rust and corrosion of the machine and/or
individual components.
•
Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and
often unpredictable when being cut. DO NOT
use workpieces with these characteristics!
•
Minor Cupping: Workpieces with slight cupping can be safely supported if the cupped
side is facing the table. On the contrary, a
workpiece supported on the bowed side will
rock during operation and could cause severe
injury from kickback.

G0453/G0454 (Mfg. Since 3/08)
Wood Hardness
Feed Rate
The species of wood, as well as its condition,
greatly affects the depth of cut the planer can
effectively take with each pass.
The infeed and outfeed rollers move the workpiece
through the planer while keeping it flat and providing a consistent rate of movement. The speed
that these rollers move the workpiece through the
planer is known as the feed rate.
The chart in the figure below shows the Janka
Hardness Rating for a number of commonly
used species. The larger the number, the harder
the workpiece, and the less material should be
removed in any one pass for good results.
Note: The Janka Hardness Rating is expressed in
pounds of force required to embed a 0.444&quot; steel
ball into the surface of the wood to a depth equal
to half the ball's diameter.

Generally, low feed rates are used for dimensioning passes, while higher feed rates are used for
finishing passes.
Figure 16 illustrates the three different positions
of the feed rate control knob:
•
Push the knob in to use the high feed rate (30
FPM for Model G0453, and 20 FPM for Model
G0454).
•
Pull the know out to use the low feed rate of
16 FPM.
•
Move the knob to the center position to place
the gearbox in neutral.

Depth of Cut
Bed Roller Height
The depth of cut on a planer means the amount
of material that is removed from the top of
the workpiece as it passes underneath the
cutterhead.
Bed Roller Height Range...............0.002&quot;–0.020&quot;
The depth of cut is set by adjusting the distance
of the table below the cutterhead. This distance
is the thickness of the workpiece minus the depth
of cut.
The correct height of the bed rollers will vary,
depending on the type of material you intend to
plane. However, as a general rule, keep the bed
roller height within 0.002&quot;–0.020&quot; above the table
surface, as illustrated in Figure 18.
0.002&quot;–0.020&quot;
Table
Although the correct depth of cut varies according to wood hardness and workpiece width, we
recommend a maximum depth of cut no more
than 1⁄ 16”. A series of light cuts will give better end
results and put less stress on the planer than trying to take off too much material in a single pass.
The planing depth of cut is controlled by using
the table height handwheel on the right side of
the machine. Rotating the handwheel clockwise
raises the table.
The depth of cut is read directly from the inch/millimeter scale on the front of the planer, as shown
in Figure 17.
One complete turn of the handwheel raises or
lowers the table approximately 1⁄ 16&quot;. The range of
material thickness that can be planed is 3 ⁄ 16&quot;–8&quot;.
Table

Roller
Figure 18. Recommended bed roller height

When planing rough stock, set the rollers high
to keep the lumber from dragging along the bed.
When planing milled lumber, set the rollers low to
help minimize snipe.
To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment process quicker and easier, we recommend
using a Rotacator (refer to Page 28) to gauge
the bed roller height from the table surface. If a
Rotacator is not available, a straightedge and feeler gauges can be used, but care must be taken to
achieve accurate results.

4. Rotate the eccentric adjustment hex bolts to
raise or lower the bed rollers until they are the
desired height above the table surface.
5. Verify that both sides of each roller are at
the same height, then re-tighten the four set
screws to secure the setting.
6. Re-check the roller heights to make sure they
did not change when you secured them.
—If the roller heights are not correct, repeat
this procedure until they are.
To adjust the bed rollers:
1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
2. Lower the table all the way to give yourself
room to work.
3. Loosen the set screws above each of the four
roller adjustment hex bolts (see Figure 19).

Lubrication
NOTICE
Failure to followed reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual for
your machine could lead to premature failure of components and void the warranty.
Columns and Leadscrews
The table rides on the columns and is moved by
the rotation of the leadscrews inside the columns.
For Model G0454, loosen the dust sleeve (see
Figure 28) to access the columns and leadscrews. Apply a thin coat of SAE 30W oil to the
outside surface of the columns and brush on a
light application of multi-purpose grease to the
leadscrew threads. Move the table up and down
to distribute the lubricant.
Your planer features bearings that are lubricated
and sealed at the factory. These bearing do not
require any further attention unless they need
to be replaced. If a bearing fails, your planer will
probably develop a noticeable rumble or vibration,
which will increase when the machine is under a
load. The bearings are standard sizes and can
be replaced through Grizzly (refer to the Parts
Breakdowns beginning on Page 49 for bearing
identification).
Follow the maintenance schedule on Page 30
and the procedures listed below to properly lubricate the other planer components, which are
essential for long life and trouble-free operation
of your planer.
Feed Roller Bushings
The infeed and outfeed rollers rotate inside bushing blocks on both ends of the rollers. Add 2–3
drops of SAE 30W oil to the center hole of the four
feed roller tension adjustment bolts on top of the
head casting, as shown in Figure 27.
Column Dust
Sleeve

Table Height Chain &amp; Sprockets
Gearbox Oil
The table leadscrews are synchronized by the
table height chain and sprockets located underneath the base of the planer. Remove the front
and rear cabinet panels to access these parts
(see Figure 30). Use shop rags and mineral spirits to clean away debris and grime, then brush on
a light coat of multi-purpose grease to the chain
and sprockets.
The gearbox oil should be changed after the first
20 hours of operation to clear away any debris
inside the gearbox, then changed annually thereafter.
Although it is not necessary to remove the drive
chain cover to access the fill and drain plugs, it is
more convenient to do so (see Figures 32–33).
Replace the gearbox oil with 80W–90W gear oil
until it just reaches the fill plug.

Setting/Replacing
Knives
Planer knives are extremely sharp and can
quickly cause a serious injury to your hands
or fingers. Always wear heavy leather gloves
when handling these knives to reduce the
risk of cutting injuries.
Note for G0454 Only: The cutterhead for
the Model G0454 ships with both springs and
jack screws to adjust the knife height (see
Figure 34)—which one you use is up to your
personal preference. However, you should
remove the components that you will not use
from the cutterhead before proceeding.
Loosen
Tighten
Jack Screw
(G0454 Only)
Setting the height of the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of your planer and
is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If
one knife protrudes higher than the others, it will
do the majority of the work, dull much faster, and
produce poor cutting results.
e parallelism
The knife gauge that is included with the Model
G0453/G0454 is designed to set the knives
0.059&quot; higher than the cutterhead surface.
Note: If you need to replace or sharpen a knife,
you can remove the knife from the cutterhead during Step 4 of the following procedure. Thoroughly
clean out any debris from the knife slots before
replacing the knives.
Replacement knives are available through Grizzly
(refer to Page 28 for options).

After the first 16 hours of use, the V-belts
will stretch and seat into the pulley grooves.
The V-belts must be properly re-tensioned
after this period to avoid severely reducing
their useful life.
Three cogged V-belts transfer power from the
motor to the cutterhead, and then to the infeed
and outfeed rollers with the use of the drive chain
system. To ensure efficient transfer of power to
these systems, make sure the V-belts are always
properly tensioned and in good condition.

Feed Rollers, Chip
Breaker &amp; Pressure
Bar Heights
It is essential that the feed rollers, chip breaker,
and pressure bar are set at the correct distance
below the cutterhead to ensure that the workpiece
moves through the planer evenly and the correct
distance from the cutterhead knives.
To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment process quicker and easier, we recommend
using a Rotacator for these adjustments (refer to
Page 28).
If a Rotacator is not available, a 6' 2x4 cut into two
even sized pieces and a feeler gauge set can be
used, but care must be taken when jointing the
wood to achieve accurate results.

Roller Spring
Tension
Positioning Chip
Deflector
The infeed and outfeed rollers keep the workpiece
moving through the planer. There are springs that
exert downward pressure on the rollers while still
allowing them to raise with an uneven workpiece
surface.Properly roller spring tension is crucial to
keep the workpiece moving through the planer
during operation.
Chip Deflector Gap Setting.............................. 1⁄4&quot;
Roller spring tension will vary depending upon the
type of wood you are planing. When adjusting the
roller spring tension keep the following in mind:
•
If you are planing milled lumber with a relatively consistent surface, use less spring tension.
•
If you are planing rough lumber with inconsistent surfaces, use greater spring tension
to keep the stock moving through the planer.
•
If the workpiece consistently stops feeding
during operation, the roller spring tension
may need to be increased.

Scale Calibration
Anti-Kickback
Fingers
The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety
feature of your planer. The fingers hang from a rod
suspended across the head casting and in front
of the infeed roller, as shown in Figure 51. This
design allows the workpiece to easily enter the
planer but reduces the risk of kickback by digging
into the workpiece if it moves backward.
Although correctly set at the factory, the scale
can be adjusted for accuracy if it becomes necessary.
Tools Needed

Anti-Kickback Fingers
To re-position the scale:
1. Plane the scrap piece of stock until it is flat
and of even thickness along its length.
Note: Turn the board over between each
pass.
2. Use calipers to measure the board thickness.
3. If there is a discrepancy between the board
thickness and the reading on the table height
scale, loosen the two screws shown in
Figure 50, adjust the scale in relation to the
pointer, then re-tighten the screws.
Figure 51. Anti-kickback fingers.
Check the anti-kickback fingers regularly to ensure
they swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not
swing freely and easily, first clean them with a
wood resin solvent, then inspect them for damage. If any of the fingers are damaged, the device
must be replaced before using the machine.
Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the antikickback fingers that will attract dust, and restrict
the free movement of the fingers.
