WARNING: For Your Own Safety Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating Planer-Moulder
Safety Instructions For Power Tools
These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a workshop. Consider your conditions when setting up
or operating your planer-moulder.
SECTION 1: SAFETY
a) Always wear eye protection.
b) Be sure all guards are in place before oper-
ating equipment.
c) Read the operators manual thoroughly and
familiarize yourself with the machine before
attempting to operate.
d) Support the workpiece adequately at all
times during operation; maintain control of
the work at all times.
e) Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or
little-used operation without study and the
use of adequate hold-downs, jigs, fixtures,
stops, and the like.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure it is
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.
Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords
up to 50 feet in length. 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.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip 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.
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. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors
should be kept a safe distance from work
area.
6. MAKE WORK SHOP KID PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
G1037 Planer / Moulder -3-
Additional Safety Instructions For Planer-Moulders
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
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.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
8. The hood should always be DOWN and cov-
ering the cutterhead when the motor is on.
9. Do not stand directly in front of or in back of
the workpiece as it is feeding through your
power tool. Stand to one side.
10. After a long period of operation, stop the
machine, disconnect the power, and check
the cutterhead gibs and screws for tightness.
11. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.
12. Check the feed roller bearings occasionally
to be sure chips are not lodged between
bearings and the side plate. If bearings are
not seated firmly, the feed rollers will not hold
stock firmly against the bed, and kickback
will occur.
13. Never stand directly in line with either the
infeed or outfeed side. Always stand to one
side of the machine. With any power tool,
kickback is always a possibility.
1. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed
it through the machine. If you have any
doubts about the stability or structural
integrity of your stock, DO NOT USE IT!
2. NEVER mill stock that has loose knots. All
defects should be cut out of the board before
it is processed.
3. NEVER plane a board less than 14" in
length.
4. Before starting up, recheck to make certain
all screws are tight.
5. Never plane more than
3
⁄16" in one pass
except in the first moulding pass where you
must bring up the table until the rollers contact the board.
6. Do not force-feed your work through the
machine. Allow the planer to apply the proper feed rate.
7. Use sound lumber with no loose knots and
with as few tight knots as possible.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. 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.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
Figure 1. Recommended 220V receptacle.
-4- G1037 Planer / Moulder
110V Operation
The motor supplied with the G1037 is a dual voltage motor, prewired for 110V. Under normal use,
the motor draws approximately 17 amps @ 110V,
8.5 @ 220V. We recommend using a 20 amp cir-
cuit breaker or a 30 amp slow blow fuse for 110V
or 220V operation. This should be satisfactory for
normal use, while preventing motor damage from
high heat caused by overload. If frequent circuit
failures occur when using the planer/moulder,
contact our service department or your local electrical contractor.
220V Operation
An instruction sheet has been included for
rewiring for 220V. If this sheet is missing, call the
appropriate service center for more information.
Do not attempt to rewire without the instruction
sheet.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

G1037 Planer / Moulder -5-
Grounding
CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Figure 2.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

-8- G1037 Planer / Moulder
Clean up
The column and other unpainted parts of the
Model G1037 are coated with a waxy oil that protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Remove the protective coating with mineral spirits and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other
petroleum based solvents because of their
extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorinebased solvents – if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.
WARNING!
Follow the safety rules listed below when
working with solvents:
1. Read and follow all directions and warnings
on the solvent label.
2. Work only in a well ventilated area.
3. Do not work near any type of open flame
(e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so
on).
4. DO NOT smoke while working with flamma-
ble material.
5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are
extremely combustible. Dispose of waste
towels so they do not create a fire hazard.
Site Considerations
1. Floor Load: Your G1037 Planer/Moulder
represents a large weight load in a small
footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable
for the Model G1037. Some residential floors
may require additional build up to support
both machine and operator.
2. 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 you Planer/Moulder.
3. 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.

Stand Assembly
SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Most of your Planer/Moulder has been assembled at the factory. The few remaining pieces
should go together quickly and easily. With just a
few simple hand tools, completion of your new
Planer/Moulder is quite straight forward.
We have organized the assembly process into
steps. Please follow them in sequence.
Caution: All die-cut metal parts have a sharp
edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are
formed. This is removed at the factory.
Sometimes though, a bit of flashing might escape
inspection. Please examine the edges of all diecut metal parts before handling them.
1. Locate the four legs and the long upper and
lower stand braces.
2. The square mounting holes on either side of
the legs are not the same. On one side the
square holes are parallel to the leg, at an
angle on the other. Attach the long upper
and lower braces to the side with the parallel
holes. Use the
5

Figure 7.
Knife Removal
Unplug your Planer/Moulder from its power
source.
WARNING: Always unplug your planer from its
power source before changing knives and moulding cutters.
Your planer knives are held in position by wedgetype gibs. The setscrews press against the bottom of the cutterhead slot, forcing the gib and
planer knife into a wedge-type seal. To break this
seal and remove the knife:
1. Simply loosen the gib setscrews and tap the
gib down using a hammer and the included
brass punch or a piece of wood. Figure 7.
2. Once the gib is free, remove the knife first and
then the gib.
3. Mark the gib and matching slot to be sure that
the gib is replaced in its original position.
4. Clean the knife and cutterhead slot to remove
all pitch and gum residue.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other two
knives.
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
-12- G1037 Planer / Moulder
Knife height should be checked on the right and
left of the knife. Make sure both ends are adjusted to the same height. Once the knife height is
adjusted, snug down the gib screws a little more
to make sure the knife doesn't shift. Repeat this
procedure for the other two knives and then, go
through all gib screws sequentially three times to
tighten them to their final torque.
After running the machine for five minutes, stop,
unplug, and make sure all of the gib screws are
still tight.
CAUTION: The end of the knife is very susceptible to chipping. Therefore, use caution when handling the gauge near the knives or you will damage the blades.
Figure 9. Adjusting the knives.
Figure 8.
Knife Setting
Unplug your Planer/Moulder from its power
source.
WARNING: Always unplug your planer from its
power source before changing knives and moulding cutters.
When installing the planer knives, orient the knife
in the cutterhead as shown in Figure 8. Your
Planer/Moulder comes with a knife setting gauge
to aid in uniform knife setting. Place the gauge on
the cutterhead next to the jack screws with the
feet of the knife setting gauge firmly resting
against the cutterhead. Adjust the jack screws
until the knife just touches the gauge with the gib
just barely snug.
NOTE: The knives must rest firmly on the jack
screws.
CAUTION: Planer knives are very sharp. Use
care when handling knives.
G1037 Planer / Moulder -13-
Figure 10.
Figure 12.
Bedboard
Due to the high relief nature of the moulding cutters, it is essential that a bedboard be used to
ensure that the knives do not come into contact
with the planer bed. The bedboard also needs
side rails or fences to guide the stock through the
machine. Always use a bedboard so the knife
does not come into contact with the cast iron bed
of your Planer/Moulder. Before installing the
moulding knives, construct and install a bedboard
and fence system as described below.
WARNING: Always use a bedboard when operating a planer with moulding cutter knives. Failure
to use a bedboard with custom moulding knives
can damage the knives, planer bed and cutter.
Make your bedboard out of dimensionally stable,
low friction material. Guides should be clamped in
place with bolts mounted in the bedboard or by Cclamps. Size and or placement of the guides will
will change depending upon moulding knife
selection, width of stock and profile placement on
the stock.
Once your bedboard is securely mounted, adjust
the guides so they are in line with the moulding
knives. Proper adjustment of the guides will
assure quality cut mouldings. To adjust the
guides, unplug the machine, lower the bed and
place a piece of stock of correct width to be
moulded under the cutterhead. Loosely adjust
your guides to the stock. Rotate the cutterhead
pulley by hand and see if the moulding knife will
line up with the stock. Adjust accordingly on the
infeed and outfeed side until the moulding knife
and stock are lined up. When properly adjusted,
firmly tighten the clamps securing the bed guides.
Figure 11.
-14- G1037 Planer / Moulder
2. Mount the stamped steel ''L'' bracket supplied
with the moulder to the headstock and position it laterally to correspond with the location
of the fence directly below it. Insert each knife
to full depth
in the cutterhead and slide it sideways until it just touches the 'L' bracket.
Lightly tighten the setscrews in the gib just
enough to keep the knife from moving in the
cutterhead. Install the other knives in the
same manner. Now tighten the gibs in 4-5
stages to assure that the clamping pressures
are evenly distributed through all the gibs. Do
not over tighten the setscrews to prevent
stripping the threads in the gibs.
Moulding Knives
Moulding cutter knives fit directly into the center
of each cutterhead slot and can be used with the
planer blades so that you can actually plane and
mould in one pass.
The Planer/Moulder accepts two thicknesses of
cutters:
1
⁄8
'' and
1
⁄4
''. For the
1
⁄8
'' cutter thickness,
only loosen the gib, using a piece of aluminum or
brass to tap down the wedge piece. For
1
⁄4
'' thickness, remove the gib and the wedge piece and
replace with the special gibs for the
1
⁄4'' thickness.
These gibs are supplied with each set of moulding knives.
WARNING: Always unplug the Planer/Moulder
from its power source before changing knives
and moulding cutters.
1. To Remove the wedge piece, loosen the gib
screws in the center gib using an Allen
wrench. Use the included brass punch and
tap the gib down into the cutterhead slot.
Figure 13. The wedge will then be loose and
can be removed. Figure 14. The gibs can
also be moved so the moulding cutters can be
installed on either end of the cutterhead.
Figure 13.

Chip Chute
A chip chute is included for convenient connection to a dust collector.
The dust collector chip chute mounts to the knife
cover. It has a fitting for attaching a 4" dust collection hose.
To mount the dust collector chip chute:
1. Unplug the Planer/Moulder and turn if OFF.
2. Using the hardware provided, mount the dust
collector chip chute.
3. Be sure to turn the dust collector on before
operating the Planer/Moulder.
Figure 17.
-16- G1037 Planer / Moulder
Feed Speed
The Planer/Moulder has a two speed gearbox
that feeds the workpiece at 12 feet per minute
(FPM) for improved surface finishing when planing and moulding and 24 FPM for faster planing.
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug the planer/moulder
and turn it OFF before changing the gear.
To change the feed speed:
1. Remove the nut that secures the gearbox
cover and remove the cover.
2. Loosen the cap screw that holds the gears
onto their shafts.
3. Remove the gears.
4. Put the new gears on.
Chip Deflector
Before planing, adjust the chip guide plate so that
there is a clearance of at least
1
⁄
8'' between the
guide plate and the planer knife tips. Before
moulding, it is very important to move the chip
guide plate away from the moulding knives.
Failure to do so will result in damage to the
Planer/Moulder.
CAUTION: When moulding, be sure to move the
chip guide plate away to prevent it from being hit
by the moulding cutter knives.
The chip breaker can be moved by loosening the
wing nuts on top of the breaker. For moulding
operations, move the chip breaker to the far front
(toward the infeed side) position. For planing
operations, move the chip breaker to the far rear
position. Be sure to tighten the wing nuts after
moving the chip breaker.

G1037 Planer / Moulder -17-
Feed Roller Adjustment
Make sure the powerfeed rollers are lowered
from their stock setting. Do not lower the rollers
past the point at which the center of the roller axle
extends below the bottom edge of the headstock.
It is also recommended to tighten the spring tension adjusting nuts several rotations to firm-up
the down force on the board. This will encourage
smoother feeding and reduce the risk of kick
back. Refer to Figures 20 & 21 for a diagram of
the feed roller adjustment components.
CAUTION: Before turning on the Planer/Moulder
to make a first cut, raise the table up high enough
so that the board will be firmly pinched against
the table by the infeed roller. Failure to observe
this final step may create a potentially serious
kick back hazard.
Figure 20.
Figure 21.
Stock Pre-sizing
It is extremely important to pre-cut all material so
that it is not more than
1
⁄
8'' wider than the finished
profile. Attempting to cut more than
1
⁄8'' off the
overall width can overload and break the knives
resulting in serious damage and/or injury. Stock
should be planed down to within
1
⁄16
'' of final thick-
ness.
-18- G1037 Planer / Moulder
Adjusting Scale
For safe operation of your Planer/Moulder, it is
very important that the depth of cut scale is reading accurately. To adjust the depth of cut scale,
follow the steps outlined below:
WARNING: Always unplug the Planer/Moulder
from its power source. Never perform maintenance procedures on your Planer/Moulder until it
has been disconnected from its power source.
1. After all other adjustments have been made
and you have reviewed test run and safety
procedures and the Planer/Moulder is ready
for operation, try to feed a board for planing.
2. Compare the measured thickness of the
board to the reading on the depth of cut scale.
3. If the reading on the depth of cut scale is
incorrect, loosen the screw which tightens the
plastic pointer and adjust accordingly.
4. When you have properly adjusted the depth of
cut scale, test your reading by planning another piece of lumber. After planing, measure the
planed thickness and double check it against
the scale reading. The two measurements
should be the same. If the measurements are
not the same, re-adjust your depth of cut
scale to read the planed thickness.
Belt Tension
Proper belt tension is essential. Poor feeding of
the stock as well as premature belt wear can
occur if not properly tensioned. To adjust the tension:
1. Slightly loosen the three motor lock screws.
2. Place a wood block onto the upper stand.
3. Use a wood plank as a lever to shift the motor
until a proper belt tension is achieved, about a
1
⁄
4'' deflection when belt is pressed with a fin-
ger.
4. Tighten down the three motor lock screws.
Figure 22.
G1037 Planer / Moulder -19-
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Before you test your Planer/Moulder give it a
quick inspection.
1. Are all fasteners tight?
2. Are the mounting bolts secured to the
machine table top?
3. Is the Planer/Moulder oriented properly for
the type of job you will do?
4. Are each of the lock handles tightened
securely?
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test
the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case
there’s a problem. The Planer/Moulder should
run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or
adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until
the machine is turned off, unplugged and all
working parts have come to a rest before you do
anything!
If noises occur that cannot be found by visual
inspection, feel free to contact our service department for help.
Test Run
Thickness Planing
Thickness planing is the sizing of material to a
desired thickness, while creating a smooth surface parallel to the opposite side of the board.
The art of thickness planing consists mainly of
using good judgement about the depth of cut in
various situations. You must take into account not
only the width of the stock, but hardness of the
board, its moisture content, grain direction and
grain structure.
The effects of these factors upon the quality of
the finished work can only be learned through
experience. It is always advisable, whenever
working with a new type of wood, or one with
unusual problems, to make test cuts on scrap
material if possible prior to working on your finished piece.
To properly use your Planer/Moulder for thickness planing:
1. Measure the thickest part of the board to be
planed. Turn the table raising hand lever until
the scale depth of cut reads the thickness of
the board to be planed. Each full turn of the
lever raises the bed just over
1
⁄16''.
2. On boards less than 5'' wide, never plane
more than
1
⁄8'' at one time. On wider boards,
do not exceed
1
⁄
16'' depth of cut. If the differ-
ence between the board thickness and your
desired finished thickness exceeds
1
⁄8'', you
must make several passes, taking off
1
⁄
8'' or
less with each pass until the desired thickness
has been reached.

Planing For Finish
Planing for a smooth finish as well as thickness is
best accomplished by taking light cuts on the
board. However, several other things are important besides light cuts to achieve a smooth finish.
Always feed the board in a direction that allows
the planer knives to cut with the run-out of the
grain. This aids the knife in severing the wood
fibers rather than lifting and tearing the fibers.
Torn fibers give a fuzzy appearance to the surface. Feeding against the grain can also cause
your knife to lift large chips from the board’s surface, creating a poor finish.
NOTE: It is recommended that you plane on both
sides of the board to reach the desired thickness.
That way, the moisture content will be uniform,
and the drying process will not warp the board.
For example, if you need to remove
1
⁄8'' to reach
your desired thickness, it is recommended that
you remove
1
⁄16'' from each side.
3. Stand to one side of the machine and start the
board under the infeed roller so that it travels
in a straight line. As the feed roller takes hold,
release infeed pressure and support the end
of the board. After half of the board has been
fed into the planer, walk around to the outfeed
side and support the other end of the board.
Remain standing to one side of the unit — not
in direct line with the board. The power feed
will complete the travel without further pushing or pulling.
CAUTION: Never stand directly in line with your
workpiece, as kickback may result. Always stand
off to one side of your machine. Always wear
proper eye protection.
G1037 Planer / Moulder -21-
Build-up of sawdust and other debris can cause
your machine to plane and mould inaccurately.
Periodic cleaning and waxing is not only recommended, but mandatory for precision planing and
moulding.
1. Close-fitting parts, such as gibs and the plan-
er cutterhead slots should also be wiped with
an oily cloth and freed from clinging foreign
matter and then replaced in their respective
positions. Do not soak these parts in oil.
2. Occasional use of paste wax on the bed will
prevent rust and reduce friction to ease feeding. However, too much paste wax will rub off
onto the planed wood and prevent proper
staining and finishing. Do not use silicone
based lubricants or polishes. They will create
''fisheyes'' in any subsequent finish that is
applied.
3. Remove resin and other accumulations from
feed rollers and the bed with a nonflammable
solvent such as a saw cleaner.
4. Periodically check all the chains and sprock-
ets for wear. When worn, replace as a set.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
1. The recommended lubrication for roller chains
used in medium to slow speed operation is to
simply wipe the chain clean. When there is an
appreciable build-up of dust, dirt or wood
shavings, use an oil cloth but never pour the
oil directly on the chain. Over-oiling defeats
the purpose of lubrication, since it simply
tends to hasten the collection of dust, shaving, etc., and works into members of the
chain. This hastens wear and leads to premature replacement. This applies to the speed
reduction and height adjustment chains as
well.
2. The bearings on the cutterhead are factory
lubricated and sealed. They require no further
attention.
