WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other
masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Infeed Table: The infeed table is the table where
the cutting operation begins. When facing the
front of the jointer, it is on the right hand side.
The wood travels right to left; from the infeed
table, across the cutterhead, and onto the outfeed table.
Outfeed Table: The outfeed table is the table
where the cutting operation ends. When facing
the front of the jointer, it is on the left hand side.
Cutterhead: The cutterhead is the cylindrical
assembly that holds each of the three jointer
knives. It spins on a horizontal axis between
the infeed and outfeed table, and is covered by
the cutterhead guard when the jointer is not in
use.
Fence: The jointer fence is the adjustable cast
iron surface that the wood stock runs along
when jointing and surface planing. The fence is
adjustable from 45° to 90° to the infeed and
outfeed tables.
Adjustment Levers and Handwheels: Controls
the height of the infeed and outfeed tables.
Table Lock Handles: The threaded handles that
must be loosened before the height of the
tables can be adjusted. They are then tightened after the height is properly set.
Rabbet Cut: A rabbet cut is a groove cut along
the long edge of the wood stock. This cut is
typically used in carcass construction. The cutterhead guard must be removed for this operation so great care is needed for safe operation.
Surface Planing: Surface planing is running the
face of the wood stock over the jointer. This
provides one flat side that is ready to be run
through a dedicated planing machine.
Edge Jointing: Edge jointing is running the long
edge of the wood stock over the jointer. This
provides one flat edge that is ready to be run
against the table saw rip fence or edge glued.
Cutterhead Guard: The metal guard that covers
the cutterhead when wood stock is not passing
over the jointer.

that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures.
NOTICE
-4- G1182 6" Series Jointers
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. 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.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
10. 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.
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.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing 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.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. On machines with mag-
netic contact starting switches there is a
risk of starting if the machine is bumped or
jarred. Always disconnect from power
source before adjusting or servicing. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.
17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN
“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward
the operator if not handled properly. If you do
not understand what kickback is, or how to
prevent it, Do Not operate this machine.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-
ther 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. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running
a machine.
21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR
INEXPERIENCED PERSONNEL TO
OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure
any instructions you give in regards to
machine operation are approved, correct,
safe, and clearly understood.
22. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine!
Then contact our service department or
ask a qualified expert how the operation
should be performed.
G1182 6" Series Jointers -5-
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.
Additional Safety Instructions For Jointers
1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with your
lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before
you feed it over 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 BLOCK 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
1
⁄8".
7. NEVER JOINT A BOARD that has loose
knots. All defects should be cut out of the
board before it is planed or jointed.
8. NEVER JOINT end grain.
9. JOINT WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against
the grain is dangerous and could produce
chatter or excessive chip out.
10. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RABBETING,
all operations must be performed with the
guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to
replace the guard.
11. NEVER BACK THE WORK toward the
infeed table.
12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – are hard to
break. Develop good habits in your shop
and safety will become second-nature to
you.
13. “KICKBACK” is when the workpiece is
thrown off the jointer table by the force of
the cutterheads. Always use pushblocks
and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood
of injury from “kickback.” If you do not
understand what kickback is, or how it
occurs, Do Not operate this machine.
14. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS MAY
CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION in peo-
ple and animals, especially when exposed
to fine dust. Make sure you know what type
of wood dust you will be exposed to and
always wear an approved respirator.
-6- G1182 6" Series Jointers
110V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
A 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used
when fusing this (tool description). Circuit breakers rated any higher may not be adequate to protect the circuit from power surges.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model G1182 series of jointers, make
sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or
better. Refer to the chart in the standard 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. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually
grounded. Under no circumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
electric current a path of least resistance. This
tool is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor. See Figure 1.
The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The Model G1182 Jointer Series is wired for
110/120V, single- phase operation. The 1 H.P.
motor is dual voltage; however, we do not recommend converting to 220V because the magnetic
switch is only rated for 110V. The motor will safely draw 14 amps at 110V. If you operate this
machine on any circuit that is already close to its
capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit
breaker. However, if an unusual load does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician or our service department.

Site Considerations
FLOOR LOAD
Your Model G1182 series jointer represents a
moderate weight load in a small footprint. Most
commercial or home shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight. If you question the
strength of your floor, you may wish to check with
an architect or structural engineer in your area to
make certain it can handle the load.
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.
Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil
to protect it from corrosion during shipment.
Remove this protective coating with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 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 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 smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may
be the result serious personal injury may occur.
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.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents. They have low
flash points which make
them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion
and burning exists if
these products are
used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Beginning Assembly
Most of your Model G1182 6'' Jointer 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: You will need a high quality
square, a long straightedge, 10mm, 12mm and
14mm open end wrenches, and a 3mm Allen
®
wrench.
Stand (G1182HW)
For reference, assemble the stand so the dust
chute end is on your left when facing the stand,
and the power switch is on your right.
1. Begin by attaching the two ends to the front
panel with the machine screws and washers
provided. See Figure 3.
2. Mount the two dust chute sides to the dust
chute end as shown in Figure 4. Note that the
flanges are pointed away from the inside of
the chute. Do not fully tighten the screws yet.
Figure 3. Attachment of the two end panels.
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 die-cut metal parts before handling them or serious injury may occur.
Disconnect power to the
machine when performing any maintenance,
assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses
during the entire assembly process. Failure to
comply may result in
serious personal injury.
-12- G1182 6" Series Jointers
3. Position the dust chute base between the dust
chute sides (flanges up), carefully aligning the
screw holes in the base and the sides. See
Figure 4 and 5. The flanges should be inside
the chute.
Figure 5. Attaching the dust chute base.
4. Attach the top of the stand to the sides and
dust chute. Note that the flanges for the top
are inside the stand (the flanges for the dust
chute opening should be outside the dust
chute, however) and that the opening for the
drive belt is at the rear of the stand. See
Figure 6.
5. Turn the stand upside down to mount the
motor to the underside of the dust chute.
Mount the motor on the chute using the four
5
⁄16" - 18 x 3⁄4" hex head bolts, flat washers and
nuts provided. Be sure to position the motor
pulley to the rear (open end) of the stand as
shown in Figure 7. Leave the motor mount
bolts finger-tight for now.
