To operate this or any power tool safely and efficiently, it is essential to become as familiar with it as possible.The time you invest before you begin to use your Model G1182 will be time well spent.

DO NOT operate this machine until you are completely familiar with the contents of this manual.Serious personal injury may occur if used without proper training.

I. INTRODUCTION

G1182 6" Heavy-Duty Jointer

A. 110V OPERATION

Your Model G1182 Jointer is supplied with a dualvoltage 110V/220V motor, pre-wired for 110V operation. Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 13 amps @ 110V.We recommend a 15 amp circuit breaker or slow-blow fuse for 110V. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while providing enough protection against motor damage caused by power surges. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the jointer, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor.

II. CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

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.

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.Use only 3wire extension cords that hav e 3-prong g rounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.Figure 1.

B. GROUNDING

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, 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 and a grounding plug.The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

In this section we cover some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your G1182 Jointer.These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. Further, you must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. The best ways to ensure compliance are to check with your local municipality or licensed electrician.

The Model G1182 MUST be grounded for safe operation. If you are unsure of the quality or condition of the circuit you plan to use, have it inspected and repaired by a qualified electrician. Under no circumstances should the grounding prong be removed from the G1182’s plug. Failure to ensure that both circuit and plug are properly grounded may result in serious personal injury.

Figure 1. 110V outlet and plug configuration.

C. EXTENSION CORDS

If used, extension cords must be rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

III. SAFETY

11. 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 16 A.W.G. for cords up to 100 feet in length. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and o verheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged. Minimum Gauge for extension cord:

16 A.W.G. 50ft 16 A.W.G. 100ft 14 A.W.G. 200ft 12 A.W.G. 300ft

12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

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. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

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 AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be

kept a safe distance from work area.

6. MAKE WORK SHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master s witches , or b y remo ving starter keys.

7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate f or which it w as designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

9. 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.

10. 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.

A. SAFETY FOR ALL TOOLS

The following rules for safety cover many general issues typical of the majority of home and small commercial shop equipment.

-6- G1182 6" Heavy-Duty Jointer

III. SAFETY (Continued)

17. 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 par ts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

B. JOINTER SAFETY

The following rules ensure safe jointer operation in most conditions. ALWAYS consider your shop’s

specific environment and consider safety first—as it applies to you and your shop.

18. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

19. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL

STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-

tion before plugging in.

20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave

tool until it comes to a complete stop.

1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed it through the cutterhead. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT

JOINT IT!

2. MAINTAIN PROPER RELATIONSHIPS of

infeed and outfeed table surfaces and cutterhead knife path.

3. ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK or a float when jointing. Never place your hands directly over the cutterhead.

4. SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE adequately at all times during operation, maintain control over the work at all times.

5. WHEN JOINTING, do not stand directly at the end of either table. Position yourself just to the side of the infeed table to avoid possible kickbacks.

6. NEVER MAKE JOINTING CUTS deeper than

⁄8".

7. DO NOT JOINT material shorter than 8", narrower than

⁄2" or less than 1⁄4" thick.

8. NEVER JOINT A BOARD that has loose knots. All defects should be cut out of the board before it is planed or jointed.

9. JOINT WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against the grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip out .

10. NEVER JOINT end grain.

11. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RABBETING,

all operations must be performed with the guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.

12. NEVER BACK THE WORK toward the infeed table.

13. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.

VI. CLEAN UP

The beds and other unpainted parts of the Model G1182 are coated with a waxy oil that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Remove the protective coating with mineral spirits and paper towels.

VII. SITE CONSIDERATIONS

1. Floor Load: Your G1182 6'' Jointer repre-

sents a large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for the Model G1182. 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 your jointer.

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.

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 flammable material.

5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are extremely combustible. Dispose of waste towels so they do not create a fire hazard.

For the sake of your own health and the environment, please make sure that towels and rags used to clean this machine are disposed of properly.

If you are unsure about the quality or condition of the circuit you plan on using for this machine, have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the circuit. Always make sure that your jointer is properly grounded. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock hazard and/or mechanical damage.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based solvents because of their extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine-based solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.
