Additional Safety Instructions For Planers
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.
1. Ensure that the machine sits firmly on the
floor before use. Any “wobbles” must be
corrected by shimming or blocking before
operation.
2. This machine is not designed to process
any other material except wood.
3. Never position fingers or thumbs near the
infeed roller.
4. Long stock should always be fully support-
ed by some type of support fixture.
5. Do not operate planer with dull or damaged
knives.
6. Ensure that the planer is properly adjusted
before using.
7. Do not remove excessive amounts of
wood in a single pass.
8. Inspect your stock before planing. Reject
stock with defects and foreign material
9. Do not attempt to remove jams until power
is disconnected and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
10. Provide adequate infeed and outfeed
space for operating the planer.
11. Do not plane wood less than 12" long and
1
⁄
4" thick.
12. Do not plane lumber with loose knots or
knots that may become loose during
planing.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G1033 20" Planer.
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.
G1033 20" Planer -5-
220V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
The Model G1033 should be fused at 30 amps.
Fusing at amperage ratings higher than 30 amps
will not adequately protect the motor. You are
cautioned that equipment that is returned to us
for service that shows evidence of being overfused will be repaired or replaced totally at the
customer’s expense, regardless of the present
warranty status.
Fusing
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange
the placement of your equipment and the
installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an
extension make sure the cord is rated Hard
Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in
Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the
minimum gauge for the extension cord. The
extension cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension
cords when they become worn or damaged.
Extension Cords
Grounding
This equipment must be grounded. Please
ensure that this machine is continuously
grounded from the motor to the machine frame
and then to a known ground. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend
to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it
will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G.
copper grounding wire from the outlet to a
known ground. Under no circumstances should
the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug
be removed. Serious injury may occur.
Figure 1. Twist-lock style 30A connector.
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 having an equipment-grounding conductor. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The 3 HP G1033 Planer motor is wired to operate at 220V only. A 220V plug that matches your
220V receptacle must attach to the end of the
power cord. Plugs and receptacles can be purchased at your local hardware store or home
center. When connecting to 220V, ensure that
the electrical circuit is in fact a 220V circuit.
Contact your local electrical contractor if uncertain about converting to 220V operation. A wiring
diagram for the motor and switch is provided at
the back of this manual should more detail be
needed.
When operating at 220V, we recommend using a
NEMA-style 6-30 plug and outlet. See Figure 1.
You may also “hard-wire” the planer directly to
your panel, provided you place a disconnect
switch near the machine.

Unpacking
This planer is shipped from the factory in a carefully packed carton. If you find the machine to be
damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and the
truck and driver are already gone, you will need
to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the
containers and all packing materials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the
packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need advice regarding this situation,
please call us immediately.
The Model G1033 is a heavy machine (770
lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert
yourself while unpacking or moving your
machine – get assistance. In the event that
your planer must be moved up or down a
flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are
capable of supporting the combined weight
of people and the machine. Failure to use
care while assembling or moving could

Site Considerations
FLOOR LOAD
Your G1033 Planer represents a large weight
load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors
are suitable for the Model G1033. Some residential floors may require additional build up to support both machine and operator.
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. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in
any foreseeable operation.
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
combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be
located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.
Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
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.
Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment.
Remove this protective coating with with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid
chlorine-based solvents as they may damage
painted surfaces should they come in contact.
Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be highly flammable,
and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always
work in well-ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste
rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards. Keep children and animals safely away when cleaning and assembling this machine.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleumbased solvents to remove this protective
coating. These products generally have
low flash points which makes them
extremely flammable. A risk of explosion
and burning exists if these products are
used. Serious personal injury may occur.
Some die-cut metal parts may have sharp
edges (called “flashing”) on them after they
are formed. Please examine the edges of all
die-cut metal parts before handling them.
Failure to do so could result in injury.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Overview
Most of your G1033 Planer has been assembled
at the factory, but some parts must be assembled
or installed after delivery. We have organized the
assembly process into steps. Please follow along
in the order presented here.
TOOLS REQUIRED: Most of the tools required
for assembly are included with the planer.
However, you will also need a Phillips
®
and regular screwdriver, metric wrenches, as well as a
feeler gauge for adjustments.
Extension Rollers
The Model G1033 is supplied with extension
rollers on both the infeed and outfeed ends of the
table. The roller assemblies are identical for both
infeed and outfeed. To attach the extension
rollers:
1. Attach an extension bar to the end of each
roller and secure with the 12mm snap rings
provided.
2. The assembled extension rollers attach to
the ends of the planer’s table. Match the
tapped holes on the side of the table to the
extension bars and attach with the M10 x
1.5 Hex Bolts and washers provided. See
Figure 2.
3. Before final tightening, run a straight edge
across the table and past each roller.
Position the rollers flush with the table and
tighten the Hex Bolts securely.

dust collection system. Install the dust hood as
follows:
1. Match the mounting holes on the dust hood
with the tapped holes on the outfeed end of
the cutterhead casting.
2. Using the six M6-1.0 Hex bolts provided,
secure the dust hood to the cutterhead
casting. See Figure 4.
See note regarding the use of a dust collector
and chip deflector adjustment in the adjustment
section of this manual.
Figure 4. Dust hood in place.
Switch
The magnetic ON/OFF switch supplied with the
Planer is pre-wired to the motor. The remaining
step requires connecting the switch to the planer's head casting. To attach the switch:
1. Align the holes on the flanges at the back of
the switch box with the tapped holes on the
front left corner of the head casting.
2. Using the socket head cap screws provid-
ed, attach the switch box assembly to the
