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-

its.

• Maximum Depth of Cut (6 in.)...........

⁄32"

• Maximum Depth of Cut (full width) ...

⁄16"

• Minimum Board Length ..................... 17"

• Minimum Board Thickness ................

⁄8"

• Maximum # of Boards at One Time ..... 1

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.

12. WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Always verify

workpiece has enough room to exit the plan-

er/moulder before starting.

SECTION 2: 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 electrican or

qualified service personnel in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or

equipment damage may

occur if machine is not

correctly grounded and

connected to the 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 110V ...............12A

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 requirements in the following section.

For your own safety and protection of

property, consult an electrician if you are

unsure about wiring practices or electrical

codes in your area.

Circuit Requirements

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-

ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one

machine will be running at a time. If this machine

will be connected to a shared circuit where mul-

tiple machines will be running at the same time,

consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the

circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

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.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a 110V

power supply circuit that has a verified ground and

meets the following requirements:

Nominal Voltage ............................... 110V/120V

Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz

Phase ........................................... Single-Phase

Minimum Circuit Size ......................... 15 Amps

Circuit Recommendations

-10-

Model G0477 15" Planer/Moulder

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 may

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

contain a ground wire, match the required plug

and receptacle, and meet the following require-

ments:

Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

Grounding & Plug Requirements

5-15 RECEPTACLE

Serious injury could occur if you connect

the machine to power before completing the

setup process. DO NOT connect to power

until instructed later in this manual.

SHOCK HAZARD!

Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding

requirements for this machine. Do not modify

or use an adapter on the plug provided—if

it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified

electrician install the proper outlet with a

verified ground.

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 ground-

ing plug (similar to the figure below). The plug

must only be inserted into a matching receptacle

(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

fully check around/inside the machine and

packaging materials. Often, these items get

lost in packaging materials while unpack-

ing or they are pre-installed at the factory.

The following is a list of items shipped with your

machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items

out and inventory them.

If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a

nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or

for the sake of expediency, replacements can be

obtained at your local hardware store.

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

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.

Operation Safety

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

NOTICE

If you have never used this type of machine

or equipment before, WE STRONGLY REC-

OMMEND that you read books, trade maga-

zines, or get formal training before begin-

ning any projects. Regardless of the con-

tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will

not be held liable for accidents caused by

lack of training.

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 19)

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.

-18-

Model G0477 15" Planer/Moulder

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.
