4.Long stock should always be fully supported 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.

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.

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.

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).

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Operation		Grounding

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.

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.

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.

Fusing

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.

Extension Cords

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.

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 result in serious personal injury.

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.

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.

Dust Hood		Switch

The G1033 features a dust hood with a 5'' dust port. It is only to be used in conjunction with a 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.

DO NOT attach the dust hood if you do not intend to connect the Model G1033 to a dust collection system. Accumulated wood chips could cause a malfunction, resulting in personal injury or damage to the planer.

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 provided, attach the switch box assembly to the head casting. See Figure 5.

The G1033 is shipped without a plug. Now would be a good time to attach the appropriate plug specified in Section 2: Circuit Requirements.
