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.

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.

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

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.

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
