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 ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools in

damp or wet locations, or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist. Keep work area well lighted.

G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance 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 extension 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 covering 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 lubricating and changing accessories.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL 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, binding 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 UNATTENDED. 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 OPERATE 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 EXPERIENCING 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 associated 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 personal 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 control 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 DEEPER THAN

⁄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 understand 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 current. This tool is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accordance 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 circuit you use is actually grounded. If not, it will be necessary to run a separate 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 placement 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 outfeed 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 cutterhead 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 outfeed 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 tightened 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, adjusting 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 operators. 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 distances 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 relative 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 located 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 shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent 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 explosion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

4. Place the cover back on the switch and

secure it to the switch body with the two plastic 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 assembly 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

⁄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

⁄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 straightedge, 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 performing all assembly steps. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Wear safety glasses during the entire assembly process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

bolts and swing the motor toward the rear

stand opening, as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13. Motor positioned for easy access.

3. Make the motor connections in accordance

with the wiring schematics that are located on the motor label or those shown below in

Figure 14 or Figure 15, depending on which

voltage you decide to use.

Figure 12. Installing grommet.

7. Snap fit the grommet into the opening as

shown in Figure 12. Make sure there is

enough slack in the wire between the switch and the grommet before snapping the grommet into position.

To mount the jointer to the stand:

1. Lift the main unit onto the stand and position

the cutterhead pulley over the pulley slot in the top of the stand.

2. Carefully align the mounting holes in the stand (shown in Figure 17) with the threaded

holes in the base of the jointer.

3. Secure the jointer to the stand using the (3)

⁄8"-16 x 3⁄4" hex bolts and 3⁄8" flat washers pro-

vided. Be sure not to over-tighten!

Jointer to Stand

The jointer unit is very heavy—get assistance when lifting it onto the stand. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.
