Grizzly G0543 Owner's manual

INTRODUCTION

The Model G0543 is the same jointer as the

Model G0500 with the upgrade of the spiral

cutterhead.

The spiral cutterhead consists of 40 indexable

carbide inserts. Each insert has four cutting

edges, which can be easily rotated if the current

cutting edge becomes dull or damaged.

In addition, a reference dot is in one corner of

each insert face to indicate when that insert has

been rotated. After all four edges have been

used, the dot will be back to its original position

and replacement of the insert will then be

necessary. Note—To avoid confusion about

which edges are sharp, always rotate inserts

clockwise. The inserts are not resharpenable.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-

ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains

chemicals 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 fil-

ter out microscopic particles.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

SECTION 1: SAFETY

5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS

AWAY. All children and visitors should be

kept at a safe distance from work area.

6. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with

padlocks, master switches, or by removing

starter keys.

7. NEVER FORCE TOOL. It will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was

designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or

attachment to do a job for which it was not

designed.

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working

order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to

see that keys and adjusting wrenches are

removed from tool before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered

areas and benches invite accidents.

4. NEVER USE IN DANGEROUS ENVI-

RONMENT. Do not use power tools in

damp or wet locations, or where any flam-

mable or noxious fumes may exist. Keep

work area well lighted.

For Your Own Safety Read Instruction

Manual Before Operating This Equipment

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.

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.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

proper operation of the equipment.

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.

This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level

of importance 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 substi-

tute for proper accident prevention measures.

NOTICE

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.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear

is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-

ering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact

resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It’s safer than using your

hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubri-

cating and changing accessories.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recom-

mended accessories. The use of improper

accessories may cause risk of injury.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-

AL STARTING. On machines with magnet-

ic contact starting switches there is a risk of

starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.

Always disconnect from power source

before adjusting or servicing. Make sure

switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.

17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther use of the tool, a guard or other part

that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function.

Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,

mounting, and any other conditions that

may affect its operation. A guard or other

part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced.

18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

19. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN

TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF

DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-

ness is required at all times when running a

machine.

20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR

UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-

ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to machine

operation are approved, correct, safe, and

clearly understood.

21. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-

ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Then

contact our service department or ask a

qualified expert how the operation should

be performed.

G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers -5-

Like all power tools, there is danger asso-

ciated with the Grizzly 8" Jointers.

Accidents are frequently caused by lack of

familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use

this tool with respect and caution to lessen

the possibility of operator injury. If normal

safety precautions are overlooked or

ignored, serious personal injury may

occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always

consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and

other machinery with caution and respect.

Failure to do so could result in serious per-

sonal injury, damage to equipment or poor

work results.

Additional Safety Instructions For Jointers

1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with your

lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before

you feed it over the cutterhead. If you have

any doubts about the stability or structural

integrity of your stock, DO NOT JOINT IT!

2. MAINTAIN PROPER RELATIONSHIP of

the outfeed table and the cutterhead knife

path.

3. ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS whenever

surface planing. Never place your hands

directly over the cutterhead.

4. SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE adequately

at all times during operation, maintain con-

trol over the work at all times.

5. WHEN JOINTING, do not stand directly at

the end of either table. Position yourself

just to the side of the infeed table to avoid

injury from possible kickbacks.

6. NEVER MAKE ANY SINGLE CUT DEEP-

ER THAN

1

⁄8".

7. NEVER JOINT A BOARD that has loose

knots. All defects should be cut out of the

board before it is planed or jointed.

8. NEVER JOINT end grain.

9. JOINT WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against

the grain is dangerous and could produce

chatter or excessive chip out.

10. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RABBETING,

all operations must be performed with the

guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to

replace the guard.

11. NEVER BACK THE WORK toward the

infeed table.

12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – are hard to

break. Develop good habits in your shop

and safety will become second-nature to

you.

13. “KICKBACK” is when the workpiece is

thrown off the jointer table by the force of

the cutterhead. Always use pushblocks and

safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of

injury from “kickback.” If you do not under-

stand what kickback is, or how it occurs,

DO NOT operate this machine.

14. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS

MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION

in people and animals, especially when

exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know

what type of wood dust you will be exposed

to and always wear an approved respirator.

G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers -9-

Grounding

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 tool is equipped with a power cord that

has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet

must be properly installed and grounded in accor-

dance with all local 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.

Verify that any existing

electrical outlet and cir-

cuit you use is actually

grounded. If not, it will be

necessary to run a sepa-

rate 12 A.W.G. copper

grounding wire from the

outlet to a known ground.

If not grounded properly,

serious personal injury

could occur.

220V Operation

We do not recommend the use of extension cords

on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-

ment 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 at 220V with your Grizzly 8"

Jointer:

•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 50

feet long or less.

• Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is

between 51-100 feet.

110V Operation

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord

at 110V with your Grizzly 8" jointer:

• Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service

(grade S) or better.

• The extension cord must also contain a

ground wire and plug pin.

• Use at least a 10 gauge cord if the cord is 50

feet long or less.

•DONOT use a cord longer that 50 feet!

Common Terms and Definitions

Infeed Table: The infeed table is the table where

the cutting operation begins. When facing the

front of the jointer, it is on the right-hand side.

The wood travels right to left; from the infeed

table, across the cutterhead, and onto the out-

feed table.

Outfeed Table: The outfeed table is the table

where the cutting operation ends. When facing

the front of the jointer, it is on the left-hand

side.

Cutterhead: The cutterhead is the cylindrical

assembly that holds each of the jointer knives.

It spins on a horizontal axis between the infeed

and outfeed table, and is covered by the cut-

terhead guard.

Fence: The jointer fence is the adjustable cast

iron surface that the wood stock runs along

when jointing and surface planing. The fence is

adjustable from 45°-90° to the infeed and out-

feed tables.

Adjustment Levers and Handwheels: Controls

the height of the infeed and outfeed tables.

Table Lock Handles: The threaded handles that

must be loosened before the height of the

tables can be adjusted. They are then tight-

ened after the height is properly set.

Rabbet Cut: A rabbet cut is a groove cut along

the long edge of the wood stock, usually used

for making simple joints. The cutterhead guard

must be removed for this operation, so great

care is needed for safe operation.

Surface Planing: Surface planing is running the

face of the wood stock over the jointer. This

provides one flat side that is ready to be run

through a dedicated planing machine.

Edge Jointing: Edge jointing is running the long

edge of the wood stock over the jointer. This

provides one flat edge that is ready to be run

against the table saw rip fence or edge glued.

Cutterhead Guard: The metal guard that covers

the cutterhead and automatically moves out of

the way during operation, then automatically

moves back into place after the operation.

Site Considerations

Make your shop “child

safe.” Ensure that your

workplace is inaccessible

to youngsters by closing

and locking all entrances

when you are away. Never

allow visitors in your shop

when assembling, adjust-

ing or operating equipment.

FLOOR AND WORKBENCH LOAD

Your Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW represents

a medium weight load. Most commercial or

garage shop floors should be sufficient to carry

the weight. Before moving the jointer onto a res-

idential floor, inspect it carefully to determine that

it will be sufficient to carry the load of the

machine, the device for moving it and its opera-

tors. If you question the strength of your floor, you

should consider having it inspected for possible

reinforcement.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-

tances between machines and obstacles that

allow safe operation of every machine without

limitation. 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 rel-

ative position of each machine to one another for

efficient 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

amperage requirements. Outlets should be locat-

ed near each machine so power or extension

cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe

local electrical codes for proper installation of

new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy

oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-

ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-

vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as

Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,

some parts may need to be removed. For opti-

mum performance from your machine, make

sure you clean all moving parts or sliding

contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-

rine-based solvents as they may damage painted

surfaces should they come in contact.

To access all surfaces, remove the fence lock nut

and handle (see Figure 10), and remove the

fence from the jointer unit.

Do not use gasoline or

other petroleum-based

solvents to clean with.

They have low flash

points which make them

extremely flammable. A

risk of explosion and

burning exists if these

products are used.

Do not smoke while using

solvents. A risk of explo-

sion or fire exists and may

result in serious personal

injury.

attached directly underneath nut).

4. Place the cover back on the switch and

secure it to the switch body with the two plas-

tic screws.

5. Locate the shortest length cord (motor cord)

and close a grommet around the wire, so the

larger end of the grommet is toward the

switch.

6. Thread the motor cord through the access

hole in the stand, which is located just below

the switch.

This section will cover the minimum assembly

and adjustment instructions needed to begin

operation. For best results, complete the assem-

bly in the order provided in this manual and then

read the remaining portion of the manual before

attempting any type of operations.

Safety must come first! Read and follow these

instructions before beginning assembly:

Switch Installation

To install the switch:

1. Locate the #10-24 x 1

1

⁄2" Phillips head

screws that are included in the hardware bag

with the switch.

2. Remove the switch cover by unthreading the

two plastic screws from the front of the

switch.

3. Position the switch over the holes and secure

it to the stand with the #10-24 x 1

1

⁄2" Phillips

head screws, as shown Figure 11.

Figure 11. Fastening switch to stand.

Beginning Assembly

Most of your 8'' Jointer has been assembled at

the factory, but some parts must be assembled or

installed after delivery.

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a high quality

square, a Phillips screwdriver, a long straight-

edge, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm open-end

wrenches, and a 3mm Allen wrench.

Some metal parts may

have sharp edges on

them after they are

formed. Please examine

the edges of all metal

parts before handling

them. Failure to do so

could result in injury.

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing all assembly steps.

Failure to do this may

result in serious person-

al injury.

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire assembly

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.
