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.

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 material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing 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 modifications—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.

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.

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.

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

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories 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.

Additional Safety for Planers

Wood chips fly

Amputation, serious cuts, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving parts! Flying chips can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces or knives thrown by cutterhead can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

KICKBACK. Know how to reduce the risk of kick-

back and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback” occurs during the operation when the workpiece is ejected from the machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback is commonly caused by poor workpiece selection, unsafe feeding techniques, or improper machine setup/maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck by the workpiece, resulting in impact injuries (i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises, death); (2) operator’s hands are pulled into blade, resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.

AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS. Never remove guards/covers or reach inside the planer during operation or while connected to power. You could be seriously injured if you accidentally touch the spinning cutterhead or get entangled in moving parts. If a workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust removal is necessary, turn planer OFF and disconnect power before clearing.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Only use sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. Dull or damaged knives/inserts increase the risk of kickback.

INSPECTING STOCK. To reduce the risk of kickback injuries or machine damage, thoroughly inspect and prepare the workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots or foreign material. Workpieces with minor warping should be jointed first or planed with the cupped side facing the table.

PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane natural wood stock with this planer. DO NOT plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other synthetic materials that can break up inside the planer and be ejected towards the operator.

LOOKING INSIDE PLANER.

around inside the planer at a high rate of speed during operation. To avoid injury from flying material, DO NOT look inside planer during operation.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce the risk of kickback hazards or damage to the machine, do not exceed the maximum depth of cut or minimum board length and thickness found in the Data

Sheet. Only feed one board at a time.

INFEED ROLLER CLEARANCE. The infeed

roller is designed to pull material into the spinning cutterhead. To reduce the risk of entanglement, keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from the infeed roller during operation.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. To reduce the risk of kickback, never start planer with workpiece touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding, and do not change feed speed during cutting operation.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce the risk of kickback, always make sure workpiece can move completely across table without rocking or tipping. Use auxiliary support stands for long stock.

BODY PLACEMENT. Stand to one side of planer during the entire operation to avoid getting hit if kickback occurs.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the grain is hard on the planer and may cause kickback. Plane in the same direction or at a slight angle with the wood grain.

-10 -

SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or improperly set inserts can become dangerous projectiles or cause machine damage. Always verify knives/inserts are secure and properly adjusted before operation.

Model G0815 (Mfd. Since 09/18)

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the availability 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.

or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power

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.

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 overloading 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

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, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure 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 supply 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 power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

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 necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel 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, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. 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:

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!

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the 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 workpiece 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 maintenance and service described in this manual.

Bench Mounting

Another option is a "direct mount" (see example below) where the machine is secured directly to the workbench with lag screws and washers.

The base of this machine has mounting holes that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or other mounting surface to prevent it from moving during operation and causing accidental injury or damage.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount" (see example below) where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench—and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the machine in place.

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

Minimum 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 collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

— If cut is too deep and bogs down planer,

operator immediately reduces depth of cut.

6. Once workpiece is clear of outfeed roller and stops moving, operator removes workpiece from outfeed table and measures workpiece thickness. If further planing is required, operator lowers headstock slightly (approximately

⁄4- to 1⁄2-turn of the handwheel), then feeds

workpiece into front of planer again.

7. Operator continues process until desired thickness is achieved, then turns machine OFF.

Workpiece Inspection

Some workpieces are not safe to use or may require modification before they are. Before cut-

ting, inspect all workpieces for the following:

• Material Type: This machine is only intended for workpieces of natural wood fiber Attempting to use workpieces of any other material that may break apart during operation could lead to serious personal injury and property damage.

• Foreign Objects: Inspect lumber for defects and foreign objects (nails, staples, imbedded gravel, etc,). If you have any question about the quality of your lumber, DO NOT use it. Remember, wood stacked on a concrete floor can have small pieces of stone or concrete pressed into the surface.

• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can become dislodged during operation. Large knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Always use workpieces that do not have large/loose knots.

• Wet or "Green" Stock: Avoid using wood with a high water content. Wood with more than 20% moisture content or wood exposed to excessive moisture (such as rain or snow), will cut poorly and cause excessive wear to the machine. Excess moisture can also hasten rust and corrosion of the machine and/or individual components.

• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and often unpredictable when being cut. DO NOT use workpieces with these characteristics!

• Minor Cupping: Workpieces with slight cupping can be safely supported if the cupped side is facing the table. On the contrary, a workpiece supported on the bowed side will rock during operation and could cause severe injury from kickback.

Wood Types

The species of wood, as well as its condition, greatly affects the depth of cut the planer can effectively take with each pass.

The chart in the figure below shows the Janka Hardness Rating for a number of commonly used species. The larger the number, the harder the workpiece, and the less material should be removed in any one pass for good results.

Note: The Janka Hardness Rating is expressed in pounds of force required to embed a 0.444" steel ball into the surface of the wood to a depth equal to half the ball's diameter.

Planing Tips

Cutting Problems

• Inspect your lumber for twisting or cupping,

and surface one face on a jointer if necessary before planing workpiece.

• Scrape off all glue when planing glued-up panels. Dried glue can quickly dull knives.

• DO NOT plane more than one piece at a time.

• Never remove more than the recommended amount of material on each pass. Only remove a small amount of material on each pass when planing wide or dense stock.

• Support the workpiece on both ends. Get assistance from another person if you are planing long lumber, or use roller stands to support the workpiece.

• Measure the workpiece thickness with cali- pers to get exact results.

• Carefully inspect all stock to make sure it is free of large knots or foreign objects that may damage your knives, cause kickback, or be ejected from the planer.

• When possible, plane equal amounts on each side of the board to reduce the chance of twisting or cupping.

• Use the entire width of the planer to wear knives evenly. With narrow workpieces, alternate between far left, far right, and the middle of the table. Your knives will remain sharp much longer.

• To avoid "chip marks," always plane WITH the grain direction of the wood. Never plain cross-grain or end-grain.

• Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. Do not plane wood composites or other materials that could break up in the planer and cause operator injury or damage to planer.

• Always true cupped or warped stock on a jointer before planing.

Below is a list of wood characteristics you may encounter when planing. The following descriptions of defects will give you some possible answers to problems you may encounter while planing different materials. Possible solutions follow the descriptions.

Chipped Grain

Problem: Usually a result of cutting against the

grain, planing lumber with knots or excessive amount of cross grain, or using dull knives.

Note: Some amount of chipping is normal with highly figured wood.

Solution: Decrease the depth of cut. Reduce the feed rate. Inspect your lumber and determine if its grain pattern is causing the problem. If the lumber does not show substantial crossgrain, inspect

your knives.

Fuzzy Grain

Problem: Usually caused by surfacing lumber

with too high of a moisture content. Sometimes fuzzy grain is an unavoidable characteristic of some woods, such as basswood. Fuzzy grain can also be caused by dull knives.

Solution: Check the lumber with a moisture meter. If moisture is greater than 20%, sticker the lumber and allow it to dry. Otherwise, inspect the knife condition.

Snipe

Problem: Occurs when board ends have more

material removed than the rest of the board. Usually caused when the workpiece is not properly supported as it goes through the machine. In many cases, however, a small amount of snipe is inevitable.

Solution: Hold workpiece up slightly as it leaves the outfeed end of the planer. The best way to deal with snipe is by planing lumber longer than your intended work length and then cutting off the excess after planing is completed.

Model G0815 (Mfd. Since 09/18)

-23-

Pitch & Glue Build-up

Problem: Glue and resin buildup on the rollers

and cutterhead will cause overheating by decreasing cutting sharpness while increasing drag in the feed mechanism. The result can include scorched lumber, uneven knife marks, and chatter.

Solution: Clean the rollers and cutterhead.

Chip Marks or Indentations

Problem: Chip indentation or chip bruising is the

result of wood chips not being thrown away from the cutterhead and out of the machine. Instead they are carried around the cutterhead, deposited on the planed surface and crushed by the outfeed roller. Some of the causes of chip indentation are:

Depth of Cut

Table Movement per Handwheel Revolution

One Full Revolution ..................................... 4mm

The depth of cut on a planer means the amount of material that is removed from the top of the workpiece as it passes underneath the cutterhead.

The depth of cut is set by adjusting the distance of the cutterhead above the table. This distance is the thickness of the workpiece minus the depth of cut. The planing depth of cut is controlled by using the headstock height handwheel on the right side of the machine. Rotating the handwheel clockwise raises the headstock.

• Wood chips/sawdust not being properly expelled from the cutterhead.

• The type of lumber being planed. Certain species have a tendency to chip bruise.

• A high moisture content (over 20%) or sur- face moisture (refer to Page 22).

• Dull knives.

• Excessive depth of cut.

Solution:

• Use a proper dust collection system; adjust

chip deflector in or out as necessary.

• Lumber must be completely dry, preferably kiln-dried (KD). Air-dried (AD) lumber must be seasoned properly and have no surface moisture. DO NOT surface partially-air-dried (PAD) lumber.

Although the correct depth of cut varies according to wood hardness and workpiece width, we recommend the maximum depth of cut (per pass) be no more than give better end results and put less stress on the planer than trying to take off too much material in a single pass.

The depth of cut can be referenced directly from the inch scale on the front of the planer, as shown in Figure 19. The range of material thickness that can be planed is

• Make sure planer knives are sharp.

• Reduce depth of cut.

Rippled Cut

Problem: Regularly spaced indentations across

face of workpiece are caused by excessive outfeed roller pressure or excessive feed rate.

Solution: Reduce outfeed roller pressure; reduce feed rate.

Setting Feed Rate

The infeed and outfeed rollers move the workpiece through the planer while keeping it flat and providing a consistent rate of movement. The speed that these rollers move the workpiece through the planer is the feed rate.

Generally, low feed rates are used for dimensioning passes, while higher feed rates are used for finishing passes.

Figure 20 illustrates the three different positions of the feed rate control knob:

Adjusting/Replacing

Knives

To reduce risk of shock or accidental startup, always disconnect machine from power before adjustments, maintenance, or service.

• Push knob in to use high feed rate of 30 FPM.

• Pull the knob out to use the low feed rate of 16 FPM.

• Move knob to center position to place gearbox in neutral.

30 FPM

16 FPM

Neutral

Cutterhead knives are extremely sharp. Accidental contact with knives can result in severe cuts. Take great caution whenever working with or around cutterhead knives. Wear heavy leather gloves to reduce risk of severe cuts.

To maintain accurate and consistent planing results, we do not recommend sharpening knives yourself. Instead, just replace dull knives or have them professionally sharpened.

Setting the height of the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of your planer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife protrudes higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, dull much faster, and produce poor cutting results.

Figure 20. Feed rate control knob positions.

NOTICE

Only change the feed rate when the planer is running, but DO NOT attempt to change the feed rate during any cutting operations or damage to the gearbox will result.

Model G0815 (Mfd. Since 09/18)

The knife-setting jig that is included with the Model G0815 is designed to set the knives 0.049" higher than the cutterhead surface.

Note: If you need to replace or sharpen a knife, you can remove the knife from the cutterhead during Step 4 of the following procedure. Thoroughly clean out any debris from the knife slots before replacing the knives.

Replacement knives are available through Grizzly (refer to Page 27 for options).

Lubricate

Here

Your planer features bearings that are lubricated and sealed at the factory. These bearing do not require any further attention unless they need to be replaced. If a bearing fails, your planer will probably develop a noticeable rumble or vibration, which will increase when the machine is under a load. The bearings are standard sizes and can be replaced through Grizzly.

Follow the maintenance schedule on Page 31 and the following procedures to properly lubricate the other planer components, which are essential for long life and trouble-free operation of your planer.

Tensioning/

Replacing V-Belts

After approximately 16 hours of operation, V-belts will stretch and seat into pulley grooves and need to be properly tensioned to avoid severely reducing life of V-belts.

To tension/replace V-belts:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove upper and lower V-belt cover from

left side of machine to expose belts, as shown in Figure 47.

Motor

Pulley

Three V-belts transfer power from the motor to the cutterhead, and then to the infeed and outfeed rollers with the use of the drive chain system. To ensure efficient transfer of power to these systems, make sure the V-belts are always properly tensioned and in good condition.

If the V-belts are worn, cracked, or damaged, replace them. Always replace the V-belts with a matched set of three, or belt tension may not be even among the belts, causing premature belt failure.

V-belts and pulleys will be hot after operation. Allow them to cool before handling.

Feed Rollers & Chip

Breaker Heights

It is essential that the feed rollers and chip breaker are set at the correct distance below the cutterhead knives at BDC (bottom dead center) to ensure that the workpiece moves through the planer evenly and the correct distance from the cutterhead knives.

To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment process quicker and easier, we recommend using a Rotacator for these adjustments (see Accessories, on Page 27).

If a Rotacator is not available, a 6' 2x4 cut into two even sized pieces and a feeler gauge set can be used, but care must be taken when jointing the wood to achieve accurate results.

Spring Tension

The infeed and outfeed rollers keep the workpiece moving through the planer. There are springs that exert downward pressure on the rollers while still allowing them to raise with an uneven workpiece surface. Proper roller spring tension is crucial to keep the workpiece moving through the planer during operation.

Roller spring tension will vary depending upon the type of wood you are planing. When adjusting the roller spring tension keep the following in mind:

• If you are planing milled lumber with a relatively consistent surface, use less spring tension.

• If you are planing rough lumber with inconsistent surfaces, use greater spring tension to keep the stock moving through the planer.

Figure 57. Feeler gauge location for adjusting

chip breaker height when using wood blocks.

15. Re-install belt cover, top cover, drive chain cover, and dust hood.

• If the workpiece consistently stops feeding during operation, the roller spring tension may need to be increased.

Tools Needed Qty

Hex Wrench 6mm .............................................. 1

To adjust roller spring tension:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Rotate tension screws clockwise to increase

tension, and counterclockwise to decrease tension (see Figure 58).

To adjust chip deflector gap:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove dust hood, top cover, and belt

covers.

Fingers

The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety feature of your planer. The fingers hang from a rod suspended across the head casting and in front of the infeed roller, as shown in Figure 60. This design allows the workpiece to easily enter the planer but reduces the risk of kickback by digging into the workpiece if it moves backward.

Anti-Kickback Fingers

3. Use cutterhead pulley to rotate cutterhead until a knife reaches closest distance to chip deflector (see Figure 59), then measure distance between knife and chip deflector.

Chip Deflector

Hex Bolts

4. If distance measured in Step 3 is not 1⁄16"–1⁄8", then loosen flange screws that secure chip deflector and adjust gap to

⁄16"–1⁄8".

Figure 60. Anti-kickback fingers.

Check the anti-kickback fingers regularly to ensure they swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing freely and easily, first clean them with a wood resin solvent, then inspect them for damage. If any of the fingers are damaged, the device must be replaced before using the machine.

Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the antikickback fingers that will attract dust and restrict free movement of the fingers.

Proper operation of anti-kickback fingers is critical for safe operation of this planer. DO NOT operate planer if anti-kickback fingers are not operating correctly. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

5. Retighten flange screws, then replace belt

covers, top cover, and dust hood.
