Additional Safety for Planer/Moulders
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.
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 lessen the pos
-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri
-
ous personal injury may occur.
1. INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This machine
presents significant safety hazards to
untrained users. Read/understand this entire
manual before starting the planer.
2. REACHING INSIDE PLANER/MOULDER.
Never reach inside planer or remove covers
when the planer is connected to power.
3. INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed
roller is designed to pull material into the
cutterhead. Always keep hands, clothing,
and long hair away from the infeed roller dur
-
ing operation to prevent serious injury.
4. BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING.
The
workpiece may kick out during operation.
To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the
planer during the entire operation.
5. PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only
plane natural wood stock with this planer/
moulder. DO NOT plane MDF, plywood,
laminates, or other synthetic products.
6. GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing or moulding
across the grain is hard on the planer/mould-
er and may cause the workpiece to kick out.
Always plane in the same direction or at a
slight angle with the wood grain.
7. LOOKING INSIDE PLANER/MOULDER.
Wood chips fly around inside the planer/
moulder at a high rate of speed. DO NOT
look inside the planer/moulder or remove
guards/covers during operation.
8. CUTTING LIMITATIONS. The planer/mould-
er may kick out a workpiece at the operator
or be damaged if pushed beyond these lim
-

9. CLEAN STOCK. Planing or moulding stock
with nails, staples, or loose knots MAY cause
debris to kick out at the operator and WILL
damage your cutters when they contact the
cutterhead. Always thoroughly inspect and
prepare stock to avoid these hazards.
10. REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES. To
avoid serious injury, always stop the plan
-
er/moulder and disconnect power before
removing jammed workpieces.
11. DULL/DAMAGED CUTTERS. The planer
/moulder may kick out a workpiece at the
operator or give poor finish results if it is
operated with dull or damaged cutters.
12. UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS.
When connected to power, the planer/mould-
er can be
accidentally turned ON. Always
disconnect power when servicing or adjust
-
ing the components of the planer/moulder.

Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some floors may require additional reinforcement
to support both the machine and operator
.
Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your new machine. See Figure
4 for the minimum
working clearances.
Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could cause serious per
-
sonal injury to themselves.
Lock all entrances to the
shop when you are away and
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!
Site Considerations
Figure 4. Minimum working clearances.
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, such as acetone or brake
parts cleaner, as they may damage painted sur
-
faces should they come in contact. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.
Clean Up
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could cause
an explosion or fire if
used to clean machinery.
DO NOT use gasoline or
petroleum products to
clean the machinery.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest
-
ed. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol
-
vents could cause seri
-
ous personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.

Safety Switch Key
To prevent the machine from starting, remove the
lockout key (Figure
10) from the paddle switch.
Figure 10. Removing key to disable switch.
Basic Operation
The basic steps of operating the planer/
moulder are as follows:
1. Put on safety glasses, ear protection and a
respirator.
2. Unless your workpiece starts very flat, sur-
face plane the workpiece on a jointer until it
is flat.
3. Adjust the headstock height (see Page 18)
so that the planing knives are slightly lower
than your workpiece height to ensure the first
cut is as light as possible.
4. Start the planer/moulder.
5. Place the flat side of the board down on the
table, and feed the workpiece through the
planer/moulder, making sure not to stand
directly in front or behind the workpiece.

-17-
Note: If the cut is too heavy and bogs down
the planer/moulder, turn the planer/moulder
OFF immediately, allow it to come to a com-
plete stop, remove the workpiece, and repeat
Steps 3–5
.
6. Measure your workpiece thickness and adjust
the headstock height as necessary to take a
lighter or heavier pass, depending on your
needs.
Operation Tips
• Inspect lumber for defects, warping, cup-
ping, twisting, and for foreign objects (nails,
staples, imbedded gravel, etc,). If you have
any question about the quality of your lum
-
ber, do not use it. Remember, wood stacked
on a concrete floor can have small pieces of
stone or concrete pressed into the surface.
• Use the full width of the planer/moulder.
Alternate between the left, the right, and the
middle when feeding lumber into the planer/
moulder. Your cutters will remain sharp much
longer.
• Scrape all glue off joined boards before plan-
ing.
• Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. DO NOT
plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or other
synthetic products.
• Plane wood with the grain. Never feed
end-cut or end-grained lumber into your
planer/moulder.
• Do not use boards with loose or large knots,
splits, crossgrain or other obvious blemishes
or defects. They can damage the machine
and pose the possibility of operator injury.
• Keep your work area clear.
• When making multiple passes on long stock,
use the stock return rollers on the top of the
machine to move the material back to the
infeed side of the machine.
• Avoid planing wood with a high water con-
tent. Wood with more than 20% moisture
content or wood exposed to excessive mois
-
ture (such as rain or snow), will plane poorly
and cause excessive wear to the cutters and
motor. Excess moisture can also hasten rust
and corrosion of the planer/moulder and/or
individual components.
Feed Speed
The infeed and outfeed rollers power the stock
through the planer/moulder while keeping boards
flat and providing a consistent rate of movement.
The power feed features 22 FPM and 11 FPM
feed rates. The speed should be changed ONLY
when the machine is running.
Figure 11 illustrates the three different positions
of the feed control knob.
Turning the knob clock-
wise sets the feed speed to 22 FPM (used for
rough planing). Turning the knob counterclock
-
wise sets the feed speed to 11 FPM (used for
finishing and moulding). Turning the knob to the
center position places the gearbox in neutral.
NOTICE
Change the speeds when the planer/mould-
er is running, but DO NOT attempt to change
speeds during any cutting operations or
damage to the gearbox will result.

Model G0477 15" Planer/Moulder
Headstock Height
Adjustment
The headstock height can be adjusted via the
manual crank handle (used for fine adjustments)
or by the power adjustment lever (used for
larger headstock movements). The Model G0477
features a height scale (in both inches and mil
-
limeters) that shows the exact height of the head
-
stock.
To change the headstock height manually:
1. Rotate the crank handle on the top of the
planer/moulder clockwise to raise the head
-
stock, or counterclockwise to lower the head
-
stock. Each full turn of the crank handle
equals
1
⁄16" (1.59 mm).
2. Check the height scale at the front of the
planer/moulder, shown in Figure 12, to
ensure headstock height accuracy.
To change the headstock height using the
power adjustment lever
(Figure 13):
1. While the machine is running, push the power
adjustment lever up to raise the headstock, or
push the lever down to lower the headstock
.
2. Check the height gauge at the front of the
planer/moulder to ensure headstock height
accuracy.

Preset Thickness
Settings
The Model G0477 features a preset thickness
knob, which prevents the headstock from moving
any lower than the desired workpiece thickness.
To use the preset depth gauge (
Figure 14):
1. Raise the headstock to allow room for the
workpiece.
2. Set the desired workpiece thickness using
the preset depth gauge
.
