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 OVER-REACH. 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

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

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

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. On machines with magnet-

ic 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. 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.

18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

19. 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.

20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to machine operation are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

21. 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.

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, and 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 protect yourself from possible kickbacks.

6. NEVER MAKE JOINTING CUTS deeper

than

⁄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 , which could lead to loss of control over the workpiece.

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. If a cut must be interrupted, lift the workpiece clear of the cutterhead.

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. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WOOD DUST IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN HUMANS. Always wear an OSHA-

approved respirator when working in an environment that could contain wood dust.

Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the jointers. 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.

Clean Up Site Considerations

Unsupervised children and visitors inside your shop could receive serious personal injury. Ensure child and visitor safety by keeping all entrances to the shop locked at all times. DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in the shop at any time.

Unpainted surfaces may be coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this waxy oil with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. The machine

will operate best when the waxy oil is removed from all moving and sliding parts.

Chlorine-based cleaners and solvents will damage the painted surfaces of the machine. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Weight Load

The Model G9953 16" Ultimate Series Jointers and the Model G4815 20" Ultimate Series Jointer represent a large weight load. Most shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the machine. Reinforce the floor if you question its ability to support the weight.

Working Clearance

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.

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 the amperage draw. 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.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and could explode if used to clean machinery. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery.

Smoking near solvents could ignite an explosion or fire and cause serious injury. DO NOT smoke while using solvents.

Lack of ventilation while using solvents could cause serious personal health risks, fire, or environmental hazards. Always work in a well ventilated area to prevent the accumulation of dangerous fumes. Supply the work area with a constant source of fresh air.

Operation Safety

To avoid serious personal injury, read and become familiar with the entire instruction manual before using the jointer.

Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from failure to wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protection while using with this machine.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.

Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section:

Stock Inspection

& Requirements

Here are some rules to follow when choosing and cutting stock:

• DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains knots. Injury to the operator or

damage to the workpiece can occur if the knots become dislodged during the cutting operation.

• DO NOT joint or surface plane “against” the grain direction. Cutting “against” the grain increases the likelihood of stock kickback (See Warning #13 on page 4), as well as tear-out on the workpiece.

• Jointing and surface planing “with” the

grain produces a better finish and is safer for the operator. Cutting “with” the grain is

best described as feeding the stock on the jointer so the grain points down and toward you as viewed on the edge of the stock (Figure 27). Note—If the grain changes

direction along the edge of the board, your best bet for improving cut quality is to decrease the cutting depth and make additional passes.

Figure 27. Correct and incorrect grain align-

ment to cutterhead.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

-24- Ultimate Series Jointers

Squaring Stock

• Remove foreign objects from the stock.

Make sure that any stock you process with the jointer is clean and free of any dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects that may damage the jointer blades.

• Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetically made materials.

• Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before jointing. Wood with a moisture content over 20% will cause unnecessary wear on the knives and will produce undesirable results.

• Make sure the stock meets the minimum

dimension requirement (Figure 28 and 29) before edge jointing or surface planing.

1. Surface Plane On The Jointer—The concave

face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer.

Squaring stock involves four steps that should be performed in the order below. The following pages will go into more detail.

2. Surface Plane On A Thickness Planer—The

opposite face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with a thickness planer.

4. Rip Cut On A Table Saw—Place the jointed edge of the workpiece against a table saw fence and rip the opposite edge off.

3. Edge Joint On The Jointer—The concave edge (viewed from end-to-end) of the workpiece is edge jointed flat with the jointer.

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (Figure

30) to prepare it for surface planing on a thick-

ness planer.

To surface plane on the jointer:

1. Read and understand Section 1: Safety

beginning on page 2.

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for

dangerous conditions as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions beginning on

page 23.

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We

suggest

⁄32" for surface planing, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.)

4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚

5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place

it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.

6. Start the jointer.

7. With a push block in each hand, press the

workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure.

8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.

Note—When your leading hand (with push

block) gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. At this point, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the entire surface is

flat.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (Figure 31) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step in the squaring process of rough or warped stock.

Figure 31. Illustration of edge jointing results.

To edge joint on the jointer:

1. Read and understand Section 1: Safety beginning on page 2.

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for

dangerous conditions as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions beginning on

page 23.

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We

suggest between

⁄16" and 1⁄8" for edge jointing, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.)

4. Make sure the fence is set to 90˚.

5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place

it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.

6. Start the jointer.

7. Press the workpiece against the table and

fence with firm pressure. Use your trailing hand to guide the workpiece through the cut.

8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.

Note—If your leading hand gets within 4" of

the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place it on the portion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. At this point, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the entire edge is flat.

NOTICE

Ultimate Series Jointers -27-

Bevel Cutting

The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific angle into the edge of a workpiece (Figure 32).

The Ultimate Series Jointers have preset fence stops at 45˚ to the left and 45˚ to the right. If your situation requires a different angle, the preset fence stops can be easily adjusted for your needs.

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for

dangerous conditions as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions beginning on

page 23.

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We

suggest between

⁄16" and 1⁄8" for bevel cutting, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.)

4. Make sure your fence is set to the angle of

your desired cut.

5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place

it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.

6. Start the jointer.

7. With a push block in your leading hand,

press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure.

Maintenance Safety General

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.

Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section:

Projectiles from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses at all times.

Regular periodic maintenance on your Ultimate Series Jointers will ensure optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.

Before each use, perform the following checks:

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Damaged V-belt.

5. Any other condition that could hamper the

safe operation of this machine.

Table

The table and other non-painted surfaces on your machine should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every use ensures that moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of products like SLIPIT

or Boeshield®T-9. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Ultimate Series Jointers -29-

Most of the ball bearings are permanently sealed and lubricated so they will require no attention until they need to be replaced. The following locations should be lubricated after approximately 80 hours of continuous use.

Cutterhead

The cutterhead has two bearings that require grease. There are white stickers with arrows pointing to their general location. There are two grease fittings—one located at each end of the cutterhead, on the top of the cutterhead axle collars. The grease fitting on the front side of the jointer is located in a small hole cut into the top of the front base housing. The grease fitting on the back side of the machine is located on the top of the jointer base, just under the bottom edge of the fence.

Handwheels

Each handwheel is lubricated via an oil cup located just behind the handwheel body, on the axle collar. Remove the handwheel lock knob and slide the handwheel off the axle. This will reveal the oil cup. Apply a small amount of light machine oil.

Table Elevation Mechanism

The table elevation screw and gear mechanism for each handwheel can be accessed by removing the left and right rear base housings. Apply a generous amount of grease to the elevation screws and gears.

Lubrication

Using sharp knives is one of the most important factors involved with the operation of the jointer. A good maintenance procedure is to hone the knives to keep them in top shape. A knife hone will polish and finely sharpen jointer knives quickly and easily without removing them.

For damaged or extra dull knives, have them resharpened by a professional grinder. To avoid downtime from resharpening, we recommend having an extra set of knives on hand.

The carbide cutters are typically rotated at the same time when they become dull; however, the cutters can also be rotated individually when one becomes nicked or damaged. Refer to Section 8: Service Adjustments for instructions on rotating or replacing the carbide cutters.

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS

-32- Ultimate Series Jointers

Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others. Note—

The cutterhead knives should protrude above the cutterhead 2mm (0.079"). The knife jig included with the jointer is designed to set the knives within this height.

To set the knives:

1. Unplug the machine from the power source!

2. Open the access door on the back of the

machine, just below the fence adjustments.

3. Turn the cutterhead pulley until the surface of the cutterhead is at top dead center.

4. Adjust the outfeed table to a height of 2mm above the surface of the cutterhead.

5. Turn the cutterhead pulley to reveal one of the knives.

6. Loosen the cutterhead gib bolts, starting in the middle, and alternating back and forth until all of the gib bolts are loose, but not falling out (Figures 34 and 35). Note—The

gib bolts turn clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten (when facing the head of the bolt).

The models with spiral cutterheads are supplied with an air wrench for loosening and tightening the carbide cutter Torx® screws. This tool is very valuable if you have to rotate or change many of the cutters at one time. T-20 Torx® bits are included.

Installing or adjusting the carbide cutters:

1. Connect the air wrench to your regulated air

compressor.

2. Adjust the air pressure (torque) setting dial on

the side of the air wrench to the "2" position. Note—The "1, 2, 3" dial on the air wrench

adjusts the torque, relative to the compressor air pressure. The "1" setting will produce the highest amount of torque possible at a given compressor air pressure, while the “3” setting will produce the least torque.

3. Install a T-20 Torx® bit into the air wrench.

Carbide Cutters

(Models G9953ZX, G9953ZXF and G4815)

The dot on each cutter is used as a reference point when determining which cutter edges are used, or dull, and which are sharp. Be sure to always rotate the cutters is the same direction as shown in Figure 37. Otherwise, the dot will not be an effective reference for determining which cutting surfaces are sharp. The carbide cutter dimensions are 14mm x 14mm x 2mm, with a 6.5mm bore and 30° relief angles.

8. Rock the cutterhead back-and-forth, using the cutterhead pulley to position the knife edge at the highest point in its revolution.

9. Using a 3mm allen wrench, find the jack screws through the access holes in the cutterhead and rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it will barely touch bottom of the knife setting gauge WITHOUT lifting the gauge off the outfeed table. Note—The knife height should

be level with the outfeed table to within .002". A dial indicator can be used to check variation in thousandths of an inch; however, the knife setting gauge is an adequate setup instrument.

10. Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place.

11. Repeat steps 5-10 with the rest of the knives.

12. Repeat step 10, but final tighten each gib

bolt.

4. Sparingly oil the threads of the carbide cutter

Torx® screws with a light machine oil.

5. Adjust the compressor air pressure to 30 PSI.

Note—The low pressure (torque) setting will

reduce the chance of cross threading the Torx® screw threads as well as seat the carbide cutters correctly.

6. Once all the Torx® screws have been seated,

turn the compressor air pressure to 85 PSI. Further tighten the Torx® screws to their final torque setting of 48-50 Inch-Pounds.

Removing the carbide cutters:

Torx® screws that are difficult to remove with the air wrench can be removed with the supplied Thandle. Carefully insert a Torx® bit into the hole on the side of the “cheater bar.” This should allow you enough leverage to loosen the Torx® screws.

Infeed Table Cam

Under each corner of the infeed table is an eccentric that can be turned with a wrench—lifting or lowering that corner of the table. A coordinated adjustment of all four eccentrics allows the infeed table surface to be adjusted perfectly level with the outfeed table.

To adjust the infeed table:

1. Remove the four hex bolts and flat washers

(Figure 38) that secure the front eccentric cover to the jointer. Carefully remove the front eccentric cover and set it aside.

Figure 38. Hex bolts and flat washers used to

secure the front eccentric cover

4. Using a 10mm Allen wrench, loosen the cap

screw located in the center of each eccentric (Figure 39).

5. Set the edge of a straightedge across the out-

feed and infeed tables (Figure 40). The goal is to eliminate any gaps between the straightedge and the surface of the tables.

6. Move the straightedge across the tables to

various positions and make note of which corners of the infeed table need adjustment, whether the adjustment should be up or down, and how much.

7. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the neces-

sary eccentrics until the straightedge sits flush across the infeed and outfeed tables. Note—

In the unlikely event that the tables cannot be aligned by adjusting the infeed eccentrics, there is an eccentric also located on the corner of the outfeed table closest to the operator and the cutterhead.

8. Secure the cams and re-attach the front and back eccentric covers by reversing steps 1-4.

2. Remove the two hex bolts and flat washers

that secure the back eccentric cover behind the infeed table. Carefully remove the back eccentric cover and set it aside.

3. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, loosen the set

screw located on the side of each eccentric (Figure 39).
