Safety

SECTION 1: SAFETY

For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Machine

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of impor tance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Alerts the user to useful information about proper operation of the machine to avoid machine damage.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this owner’s manual BEFORE using machine. TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, dis connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machin ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always discon nect machine from power supply BEFORE mak ing adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unin tended startup or contact with live electrical com ponents.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.


WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece mate rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear ing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifica tions—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.

Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec ommended accessories. Using improper acces sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended. MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death. DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect ing cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intend ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.


Additional Safety for Jointers

Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving components! Flying chips from cutting operations can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead (kickback) can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

KICKBACK. Occurs when workpiece is ejected from machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback injuries occur from getting struck by workpiece or hands being pulled into cutterhead. To reduce the risk of kickback, only use proper workpieces, safe feeding techniques, and proper machine setup or maintenance.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the grain or end grain can increase risk of kickback. It also requires more cutting force, which produces chat ter or excessive chip out. Always joint or surface plane WITH the grain. GUARD REMOVAL. Operating jointer without guards unnecessarily exposes operator to knives/ inserts and other hazardous moving parts. Except when rabbeting, never operate jointer or allow it to be connected to power if any guards are removed. Turn jointer OFF and disconnect power before clearing any shavings or sawdust from around cut terhead. After rabbeting or maintenance is com plete, immediately replace all guards and ensure they are properly installed/adjusted before resum ing regular operations.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. Cutting workpieces that do not meet minimum dimension requirements can result in kickback or accidental contact with cutter head. Never perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts on pieces smaller than specified in machine data sheet.

PUSH BLOCKS. Push blocks reduce risk of acci dental cutterhead contact with hands. Always use push blocks when planing materials less than 3" high or wide. Never pass your hands directly over cutterhead without a push block. DULL OR DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Dull or damaged knives/inserts increase risk of kickback and cause poor workpiece finish. Only use sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Poor workpiece sup port or loss of workpiece control while feeding will increase risk of kickback or accidental contact with cutterhead. Support workpiece with fence continuously during operation. Support long stock with auxiliary tables if necessary. OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Setting outfeed table too high can cause workpiece to hit table or get stuck while feeding. Setting outfeed table too low may cause workpiece to rock or shift while feeding. Both of these results will increase risk of kickback. Always keep outfeed table even with knives/inserts at highest point during rotation. FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. Kickback or accidental cutterhead contact may result if work piece is fed into cutterhead the wrong way. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding. Never start jointer with workpiece touching cutter head. Always feed workpiece from infeed side to outfeed side without stopping until cut is complete. Never move workpiece backwards while feeding.

INSPECTING STOCK. Impact injuries or kick back may result from using improper workpieces. Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots or other foreign material. Always joint warped workpieces with cupped side facing down.

MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. To reduce risk of kickback, never cut deeper than 1 ⁄ 8 " per pass.

SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or improperly set inserts can be thrown from cutter head with dangerous force. Always verify knives/ inserts are secure and properly adjusted before operation. Straight knives should never project more than 1 ⁄ 8 " (0.125") from cutterhead body.


SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Power Supply

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the avail ability 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.

Circuit Information

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power sup ply 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.)

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.

Full-Load Current Rating at 230V ..... 12 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 over loading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.

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, con sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Circuit Requirements

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

Nominal Voltage ......... 208V, 220V, 230V, 240V Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz Phase ........................................... Single-Phase Power Supply Circuit ......................... 20 Amps Plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 6-20


Grounding Requirements

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.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DO NOT modify the provided plug!

GROUNDED 6-20 RECEPTACLE

Current Carrying Prongs

6-20 PLUG

Grounding Pin Figure 6. Typical 6-20 plug and receptacle.

No adapter should be used with plug. If plug does not fit available receptacle, or if machine must be reconnected for use on a different type of circuit, reconnection must be performed by an electrician or qualified service personnel, and it must comply 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 nec essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per sonnel 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, discon nect 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).

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:

Minimum Gauge Size ...........................12 AWG Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

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 preven tative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufac turer’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 & disposable gloves Plastic paint scraper (optional)

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/degreas er 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.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avoid using these products to clean machiner y.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Only work in a well-ventilated area.

NOTICE

Avoid harsh solvents like acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted sur faces. Always test on a small, inconspicu ous location first. T23692—Orange Power Degreaser

Site Considerations Weight Load

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 work piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

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 main tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Children or untrained people may be seriously injured by this machine. Only install in an access restricted location.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is operated is important for safe operation and lon gevity of machine components. For best results, operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are generally those where the ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or the environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.

Electrical Installation

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.

Dust Collection

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/ dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in perma nent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and capturing the dust with a dust-collection system.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 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 col lector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to cal culate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

To connect dust-collection hose:

1. Fit 4" dust hose over dust port, as shown in Figure 24, and secure with a hose clamp.

Hose Clamp Figure 24. Example of dust hose attached to dust port.

2. Tug hose to make sure it does not come off. A tight fit is necessary for proper performance.

Test Run

Once assembly is complete, test run the machine to ensure it is properly connected to power and safety components are functioning correctly.

If you find an unusual problem during the test run, immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the machine again. The Troubleshooting table in the SERVICE section of this manual can help.

The Test Run consists of verifying the motor pow ers up and runs correctly.

Serious injury or death can result from using this machine BEFORE understanding its controls and related safety information. DO NOT operate, or allow others to operate, machine until the information is understood. DO NOT start machine until all preceding setup instructions have been performed. Operating an improperly set up machine may result in malfunction or unexpect ed results that can lead to serious injury, death, or machine/property damage.

To test run machine:

1. Clear all setup tools away from machine.

2. Connect machine to power supply.

3. Push ON button to start machine. A correctly operating machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

4. Push STOP paddle to stop machine. Congratulations! The Test Run is complete.


Tightening Belt

The final step in the setup process must be done after approximately 16 hours of operation. During this first 16 hours, the belt will stretch and seat into the pulley groove. After this time, you must re-tension the belt to avoid slippage and burn out. Refer to Page 51 when you are ready to perform this important adjustment.

Note: Pulleys and belt can get hot. This is a nor-

mal condition. Allow them to cool before making adjustments.

A small amount of black belt dust at the bottom of the belt housing is normal during the life of the machine and does not indicate a problem with the machine or belt.

Disabling & Locking Switch

The switch can be disabled and locked by insert ing a padlock through the ON/START button, as shown. Locking the switch in this manner can prevent unauthorized operation of the machine, which is especially important if the machine is not stored inside an access-restricted building.

IMPORTANT: Locking the switch with a padlock only restricts its function. It is not a substitute for disconnecting power from the machine when adjusting or servicing.

Shaft ON / START Button OFF / STOP Paddle Padlock Figure 25. Switch disabled by a padlock.

Children or untrained people can be seriously injured by this machine. This risk increases with unsupervised operation. To help prevent unsupervised operation, disable and lock the switch before leaving machine unattended! Place key in a well hidden or secure location.

NOTICE

The padlock shaft diameter is important to the disabling function of the switch. Use padlocks with a maximum shaft diameter of 4mm. With any padlock used to lock the switch, test the switch after installation to ensure that it is properly disabled.


SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov ice 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.

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 "how-to" books, trade magazines, or websites.

To reduce your risk of serious injury, read this entire manual BEFORE using machine.

To reduce risk of eye injury from flying chips or lung damage from breathing dust, always wear safety glasses and a respirator when operating this machine.

To complete a typical operation with the jointer, the operator does the following:

1. Examines workpiece to verify it is safe and suitable for cutting.

2. Adjusts fence for width of workpiece and locks it in place.

3. Adjusts fence tilt, if necessary. 4. Adjusts infeed table height to set depth of cut per pass.

5. Puts on safety glasses, respirator, and any other required protective equipment.

6. Starts jointer.

7. Using push blocks as needed, holds work piece firmly against infeed table and fence, and feeds workpiece into cutterhead at a steady and controlled rate until entire length of workpiece has been cut and it clears the cutterhead on the outfeed table side.

8. Repeats cutting process described above until desired results are achieved.

9. Stops jointer.

If you are not experienced with this type of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any proj ects. Regardless of the content in this sec tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.


Stock Inspection & Requirements

Stock Inspection Requirements

Follow these rules when choosing and jointing stock:

• •

DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that

contains large or loose knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the workpiece can occur if a knot becomes dislodged during the cutting operation.

DO NOT joint or surface plane against the

grain direction. Cutting against the grain increases the likelihood of kickback, as well as tear-out on the workpiece. •

Jointing and surface planing with the grain produces a better finish and is safer

for the operator. Cutting with the grain is described as feeding the stock on the jointer so the grain points down and toward you as viewed on the edge of the stock (see Figure below). Note: If the grain changes direction along the

edge of the board, decrease the cutting depth and make additional passes.

CORRECT

• •

•

Scrape all glue off the workpiece before

jointing. Glue deposits on the workpiece, hard or soft, will gum up the cutterhead and produce poor results.

Remove foreign objects from the work-

piece. Make sure that any stock you pro cess with the jointer is clean and free of dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects that could damage the cutterhead. These particles could also cause a spark as they strike the cutterhead and create a fire hazard.

IMPORTANT: Wood stacked on a concrete or dirt surface can have small pieces of con crete or stone pressed into the surface.

Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried

before jointing. Wood with a moisture con tent over 20% will cause unnecessary wear on the cutters and poor cutting results. Excess moisture can also hasten rust and corrosion.

Squaring Stock

Squaring stock means making it flat and paral lel along both length and width, and making the length and width perpendicular to one another.

The purpose of squaring stock is to prepare it for accurate cuts and construction later on.

A properly "squared up" workpiece is essential for tasks such as accurate table saw cuts, glue ups/laminations, cutting accurate bevels on a bandsaw, and many other applications where one surface of a workpiece is used to reference another.

Items Needed Qty

Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the order below:

1. Surface Plane on Jointer—Concave face of workpiece is surface planed flat with jointer.

2. Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer— Opposite face of workpiece is surface planed flat with a thickness planer.

Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing (see example Figures below) on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock to prepare it for thickness planing on a planer.

Failure to use push blocks when surface planing could result in your hands contact ing rotating cutterhead, which will cause serious personal injury. ALWAYS use push blocks when surface planing on jointer!

Removed Surface Figure 28. Example photo of a surface planing operation.

To surface plane on jointer:

1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements section).

2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting depth for each pass.

CAUTION: To minimize risk of kickback, do not exceed a cutting depth of when surface planing.

1

⁄

16 " per pass 3. Set fence to 90°.

4. Start jointer.

5. Place workpiece firmly against fence and infeed table.

CAUTION: To ensure workpiece remains stable during cut, concave sides of workpiece must face toward table and fence.

6. Feed workpiece completely across cutter head while keeping it firmly against fence and tables during the entire cut.

CAUTION: Keep hands at least 4" away from cutterhead during the entire cut. Instead of allowing a hand to pass directly over cut terhead, lift it up and over cutterhead, and safely reposition it on the outfeed side to con tinue supporting workpiece. Use push blocks whenever practical to further reduce risk of accidental hand contact with cutterhead.

7. Repeat Step 6 until entire surface is flat. Tip: When squaring up stock, cut opposite

side of workpiece with a planer instead of the jointer to ensure boths sides are parallel.


Edge Jointing

Edge jointing (see example or finishing.

Figures below) pro duces a flat and true surface along the side of a workpiece by removing uneven areas. It is an essential step for squaring up warped or rough stock and when preparing a workpiece for joinery Removed Surface Figure 29. Example photo of an edge jointing operation.

6. Feed workpiece completely across cutter head while keeping it firmly against fence and tables during the entire cut.


7. Repeat Step 6 until the entire edge is flat.

Tip: When squaring up stock, cut opposite

edge of workpiece with a table saw instead of the jointer—otherwise, both edges of work piece will not be parallel with each other.


Bevel Cutting

Bevel cuts (see example of a workpiece.

Figures below) can be made by setting the fence at the desired angle and feeding the workpiece firmly along the fence face, with the bottom inside corner firmly against the table. The cutting process typically requires multiple passes or cuts to bevel the entire edge Removed Surface Figure 30. Example of fence set up for a bevel cut of 45°.

", depending on 3. Set fence tilt to desired angle of cut.

4. Place workpiece against fence and infeed table with concave side face down. 5. Start jointer.

6. With a push block in your leading hand, press workpiece against table and fence with firm pressure, and feed workpiece over cutter head with a push block in your trailing hand.

CAUTION: When your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over cutterhead, and place push block on portion of the workpiece once it is 4" past cutterhead. Now, focus your pressure on outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of cutterhead. To help keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from moving cutterhead at any time during operation!

7. Repeat cutting process, as necessary, until you are satisfied with the results.


Rabbet Cutting

A rabbet cut removes a portion of a workpiece edge, so it fits together with an opposing, equally sized rabbet cut on another workpiece (see exam ple Figure below). This is a classic method of joining two workpieces that is simple, yet strong.

Removed Surface

To rabbet cut on jointer:



CAUTION: For safety reasons, cutting depth should never exceed 1

3. Remove cutterhead guard if necessary to per form operation (see Figures below.) Guard Installed Rabbet Joints This jointer can be used to make high-quality rab bet cuts, but there are some situations—whether it is due to an excessively large/small workpiece size or rabbet cutting width/depth—when it will not be safe or appropriate for making the rabbet cut on this jointer. In these cases, you need to use another tool or method for rabbet cutting that will be a safer alternative. A rabbet cut can alternatively be made using a table saw, router, or even a hand saw. As with any type of cutting operation, always consider your safety first and use good judgement!

Typically, rabbet cutting with a jointer requires the cutterhead guard to be removed first, so the workpiece can slide along the rabbeting ledge during the cut. However, it is possible to make rabbet cuts with workpieces up to 1" thick without removing the cutterhead guard. This is done by performing the rabbet cut with the workpiece on end (similar to when you are edge jointing).

-32 Guard Removed Figure 31. Examples of typical rabbet cutting operations.

When cutterhead guard is removed, attempting any other cut besides a rabbet directly exposes operator to moving cutter head. To minimize risk of injury and unnec essary exposure to cutterhead, always keep cutterhead guard installed when pos sible, and ALWAYS immediately replace it after performing rabbet cuts.


4. Set fence to 90° and near front of jointer, so amount of exposed cutterhead in front of fence matches size of desired rabbet.

5. Start jointer.



7. Feed workpiece completely across cutter head while keeping it firmly against fence and tables during entire cut.


8. Repeat Step 7 until rabbet is cut to depth.

9. Re-install cutterhead guard if removed in Step 3.

Setting Depth of Cut

Setting Depth of Cut The depth of cut on a jointer affects the amount of material removed from the bottom of the workpiece as it passes over the cutterhead.

The depth of cut is set by adjusting the height of the infeed table relative to the outfeed table and cutterhead knives/inserts at top dead center (TDC).

This jointer is equipped with a below 1 ⁄ 8 1 ⁄ 8 " depth stop. This prevents the table from accidently being lowered ", which is the maximum depth of cut.

DO NOT exceed 1 ⁄ 8 " depth of cut per pass when edge jointing and 1 ⁄ 16 " depth of cut per pass when surface planing on this machine or kickback and serious injury may occur!

Adjusting Infeed Table Height

Adjusting Infeed Table Height

To adjust the infeed table height, loosen the infeed table lock (see Figure 32), rotate the infeed table handwheel to raise or lower the table, and then tighten the lock to secure the setting.

Depth-of-Cut Scale

Depth of Cut Scale The depth of cut can be referenced directly from the depth scale located on the front of the jointer (see Figure 34).

Note: The depth scale can be calibrated or

"zeroed" if it is not correct. (Refer to

Calibrating

Depth-of-Cut Scale on Page 50.)

Scale Pointer Scale Figure 34. Depth-of-cut scale components.

Infeed Positive Stops

Positive Stop Screws The infeed table has positive-stop screws (see Figure 35) that allow you to quickly adjust the infeed table between finish/final cuts and shaping/ heavy cuts and the maximum depth of cut of 1 ⁄ 2 " (or less) when rabbeting.

Lower Stop Screw Table Pin Lower Jam Nut Figure 35. Positive-stop components for infeed table.

Each positive-stop screw controls top or bottom range of table movement. Jam nuts lock positive stop screws in position so they will not move dur ing operation. We recommend setting the bottom height stop screw at 1 ⁄ 2 ". The top height stop can be set any where between 0" and 1 ⁄ 16 ".

The 1 ⁄ 8 " depth stop is factory set and cannot be adjusted.

Lubrication

Lubrication Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them. It is essential to clean components before lubri cating them because dust and chips build up on lubricated components and make them hard to move. Simply adding more grease to them will not yield smooth moving components.

Setting/Replacing Knives (G0855)

Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of the jointer and it plays an important role in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, become dull much faster.

Inspecting Knives The knife jig included with the jointer is designed to set all the knives evenly and at the correct height in the cutterhead.

straightedge method and the knife-setting jig method. Each option has advantages and disad vantages; the correct one for you will be a mat ter of personal preference. For best results, the tables must be parallel with each other (refer to Checking/Adjusting Table Parallelism) and the outfeed table height must be properly set (refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height).

Straightedge Method

A high quality straightedge (or Jointer Pal) is held flat against the outfeed table and the knife heights are set to the bottom of the straightedge, as shown. Because the knife projection height from the cutterhead is dependent on the outfeed table height, the outfeed table must be set as described in Setting Outfeed Table Height for this method to work correctly.

When using the straightedge method to set the knives, you will not need to move the outfeed table once it is set and you will always be assured that the knives are even with the outfeed table in their highest point of rotation (TDC)—even if the cutterhead is not perfectly parallel with the out feed table.

To check knife height with a straightedge:


2. Remove cutterhead guard or block it open.

3. Using a straightedge on outfeed table, check height of each knife at positions as shown.

Black Lines Represent Straightedge Positions From Overhead View Knife at TDC Straightedge Outfeed Infeed Figure 49. Setting knife height with a straightedge.

Figure 50. Setting knife height with a Jointer Pal ® .

— Knives are set correctly when they just touch bottom of straightedge at TDC in each of straightedge positions.

— If knives do not touch straightedge or they lift up at any position, then those knives need to be adjusted (refer to

Setting/

Replacing Knives on Page 42).

Knife-Setting Jig Method

The infeed table is lowered to fit the jig on the cutterhead, as shown, and the knife heights are set to just touch the middle pad of the jig. The knife-setting jig included with the jointer is designed to set all the knives evenly and at the correct height in the cutterhead.

5. Closely examine how jig touches cutterhead and knife. Knife is set correctly when, on each side of cutterhead, both legs of jig sit firmly on cutterhead body and middle pad of jig just touches top edge of knife.

— If jig does not sit as described, then that knife must be reset. Repeat this inspec tion with other knives before resetting. (Refer to Setting/Replacing Knives sec tion below.) Middle Pad Figure 51. Example of knife-setting jig positioned over cutterhead knife.

Rotating/Replacing Helical Cutterhead Inserts (G0856)

Rotating Replacing Cutterhead Inserts The helical cutterhead is equipped with 4-sided indexable carbide inserts. Each insert can be removed, rotated, and re-installed to use any one of its four cutting edges. Therefore, if one cutting edge becomes dull or damaged, simply rotate it 90˚ (as shown below) to use a sharp cutting edge.

The inserts have a reference dot on one corner. The position of the reference dot on installed inserts can be used to track which edges are sharp/unused and which edges are dull or dam aged. Replace inserts once the reference dot has been rotated back to its original position.

To rotate or replace helical cutterhead insert:


2. Remove cutterhead guard from table, and lower infeed table as far down as it will go.

3. Remove cover to get access to cutterhead pulley.

4. Taking care not to pinch your hand between belt and pulley, rotate pulley as needed to make inserts accessible for removal.

5. Put on heavy leather gloves to protect fingers and hands.

6. Carefully clean away all sawdust or debris from top of insert, Torx screw, and surround ing area (see Figure below).

7. Remove Torx screw and insert, then carefully clean away all dust and debris from insert and insert pocket in cutterhead.

IMPORTANT: This step is critical for achiev ing a smooth finish with cutting operations. Dirt or dust trapped under insert during instal lation will slightly raise insert in cutterhead, which will leave marks on workpiece after jointing.

Tip: Use low-pressure compressed air or a

vacuum nozzle to clean cutterhead pocket.

8. Re-install insert with a sharp cutting edge facing outward. Make sure insert is properly seated in cutterhead pocket before securing.

— If all four insert cutting edges have been used, replace insert with a new one. Always position reference dot in same position when installing a new insert to aid in rota tional sequencing.

9. Lubricate Torx screw threads with a small amount of light machine oil, wipe excess off, and torque screw to 48–50 inch/pounds.

IMPORTANT: If too much oil is applied to the threads, excess will attempt to squeeze out of threaded hole as you install insert and force it to raise slightly, making it out of alignment.

Adjusting Gibs

Adjusting Gibs The function of the table gibs is to eliminate excessive play in the table movement. The gibs also control how easy it will be to move the tables up and down.

Item(s) Needed: Qty

Open-End Wrench 13mm .................................. 1 Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1

To adjust table gibs:

1. Loosen (4) infeed table gib nuts with set screws on front of table/fence assembly (see Figure 59). Gib Nuts w/ Set Screws Figure 59. Infeed table gib controls.

2. Oil table ways if needed (refer to Lubrication on Page 38).

3. Evenly tighten gib set screws a small amount, then check tables by moving them up and down. Adjust set screws as needed until fric tion of table movement is balanced between minimal play and ease of movement. Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it

harder to adjust tables.

4. Set outfeed table height (refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 47).


Checking/Adjusting Table Parallelism

Checking Adjusting Table Parallelism The infeed and outfeed tables must be parallel with each other in order to produce a straight, jointed edge. When the tables are not parallel with each other, the jointer will produce workpieces that are cupped (concave) or bowed (convex) along their length. Table parallelism is factory-set and should not normally need to be adjusted when the machine is new. However, after prolonged use, or if the machine has been jarred during lifting or trans portation, it may become necessary to adjust the table parallelism.

Table parallelism is adjusted by inserting shims between the dovetailed ways of the outfeed table to make it parallel with the infeed table. Once this adjustment is made, the outfeed table height should not need to be adjusted again.


Precision Straightedge 3' .................................. 1 Feeler Gauge Set .............................................. 1 Metal Shims ....................................... As Needed

To check/adjust table parallelism:


2. Set outfeed table height (refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 47). 3. Move cutterhead guard out of the way and slide fence all the way back.

4. Rotate cutterhead until knife/insert is not at TDC, extend straightedge over both tables, raise infeed table until it contacts straight edge (see Figure 60), then lock infeed table.

5. Look down length of straightedge on outfeed side to see if there are any noticeable gaps between straightedge and outfeed table. Do this at both front and rear of table.

— If there are no gaps, and the straightedge makes full contact with both tables at front and rear, the tables are parallel with each other and no adjustments are necessary.

— If there are gaps anywhere between one of the tables and the straightedge, the tables are not parallel to each other and must be adjusted. Proceed to Step 6.

6. Insert feeler gauge between table and straightedge where gap is greatest (see Figure 61). Maximum allowable tolerance is 0.003".

Insert Feeler Gauge Where Gap is Greatest Outfeed Straightedge Infeed Figure 61. Example of feeler gauge location for checking table parallelism.

7. Loosen outfeed table locks. Place shims between dovetailed ways (see Figure 62) until outfeed table is within 0.003" of parallel with infeed table at front and rear of tables.

Possible Shim Locations Outfeed Straightedge Infeed -46 Figure 60. Checking table parallelism.

Figure 62. Locations to place shims when adjusting table parallelism.

8. Re-check outfeed table height (refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 47), and re-adjust if necessary.


Setting Outfeed Table Height

Setting Outfeed Table Height To help ensure safe operation and best cutting results, set the outfeed table height level with the knives/inserts when they are at top-dead center (TDC). If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece will be tapered from front to back or there will be snipe (a gouge in the end of the board that is uneven with the rest of the cut). If the outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of kickback.


Precision Straightedge 3' .................................. 1

To set outfeed table height:


2. Remove cutterhead guard and fence, then open belt cover.

3. G0855 Only: Make sure knife heights are set correctly (refer to

Tensioning/ Replacing V-Belt

Tensioning Replacing Belt To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the cutterhead, the V-belt must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and properly tensioned.

Belts and pulleys will be hot after operation. Allow them to cool before handling.

5. Press belt with moderate pressure in center to check belt tension. Belt is correctly tensioned when there is approximately 1 ⁄ 4 " deflection when pushed, as shown in Figure 75.

After approximately 16 hours of opera tion, belts will stretch and seat into pul ley grooves. The belts need to be re-ten sioned after this initial break-in period to ensure optimum power transfer and maximum overall life of the belts.

Checking/Aligning Pulleys

Checking Aligning Pulleys Pulley alignment is an important factor in power transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be parallel to each other and in the same plane (coplanar) for optimum performance. Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the set screw that secures the pulley to the shaft, sliding the pulley in/out, and retightening the set screw to lock the pulley in place.


Precision Straightedge 3' (Optional) .................. 1 Hex Wrench 3mm .............................................. 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver #2 ............................ 1

To align pulleys:


2. Remove fence, belt cover, and rear access panel on stand.

3. Look down length of belt and pulley faces to check pulley alignment (see Figures 76–77). If available use a narrow straightedge against pulley faces to check alignment.

— If pulleys are aligned, proceed to Step 7.

— If pulleys are not aligned, perform Steps 4 –6.

4. Remove belt (refer to Tensioning/Replacing Belt of Page 51).

5. Loosen motor pulley set screw and cutterhead pulley set screw, and then align both pulleys. (Use straightedge if needed.) 6. Tighten set screws, replace belt, and repeat Step 3 to verify proper pulley alignment. Pulleys should be parallel and aligned, as shown in Figure 77, when belt is properly tensioned.

Checking/Adjusting Cutterhead Guard

Adjusting Cutterhead Guard

The cutterhead guard is a critical safety feature of this jointer. You MUST install and verify its operation before using the jointer! Failure to properly install this guard will greatly increase the risk of serious personal injury.

The cutterhead guard is designed to reduce the risk of accidental contact with hands or fingers with the spinning cutterhead. When properly installed and functioning correctly, the guard auto matically rotates clear of the cutterhead during the cutting operation and then springs back over the cutterhead as soon as the operation is complete.

1 In order to function as intended, the guard must be installed as low as possible over the infeed table without actually touching it (approximately ⁄ 16 " above infeed table), and it must have enough spring tension at the mounting shaft to quickly reposition itself against the fence after it is rotated away from the cutterhead and released. Before performing rabbeting operation, adjust guard height to just clear outfeed table.

To check/adjust cutterhead guard for proper operation:


2. Set fence to 90° and move it all the way back, then pull cutterhead guard (see Figure 78) back and let it go.

— If cutterhead guard springs back over cutterhead, contacts fence, and does not drag across infeed table, then it is properly adjusted.

— If cutterhead guard does not spring back over cutterhead, does not contact fence, or drags across infeed table, then proceed to Step 3.

3. Loosen shaft lock (see Figure 78). Move guard so it is resting against fence, and 1 ⁄ 16 " above infeed table.

Cutterhead Guard Fence Shaft Lock Figure 78. Cutterhead guard components.

4. Hold guard height in place and tighten shaft lock to secure setting.

5. Repeat Step 2 and, if necessary, repeat Steps 3–4 until cutterhead guard is properly adjusted.
