Additional Safety Instructions For The

Portable Planer

6. Position yourself so as not to get caught

(pinned) between the lumber and another obstruction during the planing operation. Also, ensure that there is sufficient clearance for the material being fed.

7. Keep hands and fingers away from moving

parts and away from the infeed and outfeed section of the planer. Do not reach into the machine at any time for any reason without first turning the switch off, pulling the electrical plug and after the machine has come to a full stop.

8. Any glued-up stock must be completely set

up and dry before planing.

9. Never leave the planer running unattended.

10. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.

Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.

1. Ensure that the machine is firmly secured

to a bench or table before use.

2. Always be aware of the condition of the

wood you are planing. Pay particular attention to knots, splits, and other potential areas where the grain may be getting ready to separate.

3. Perform machine inspection and mainte-

nance services regularly.

4. Make sure the planer knives are sharp,

balanced, and set correctly and securely. Operate planer only with both knives in the cutterhead.

5. Do not plane any man-made composites

such as plywood, hardboard, particle board, fiber board, flake board, fiberglass and/or any other material other than solid, natural wood fiber.

Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G8794 Portable Planer. 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.

Page 7

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with the Model G8794, 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.

110V Operation

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

A 20-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when fusing this combination sander. Circuits rated any higher are not adequate to protect the motor from power surges.

Equipment returned to us for service that shows evidence of being over-fused will be repaired or replaced totally at the customer’s expense, regardless of the present warranty status.

Fusing

Extension Cords

Grounding

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. 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 a path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-

ing 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 G8794 is wired for 110/120V, single phase operation only. The 2 HP motor will draw 15 amps at 110V. If you operate this planer 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.

G8794 121⁄2" Portable Planer

Clean up Site Considerations

The Model G8794 is designed to be portable. There is a carry handle located on the top of the planer, as well as handles on both sides of the planer to aid in lifting and moving. Before moving the planer, fold the extension wings up and ensure that the power cord is disconnected and stored beneath the wing on the cord storage loop.

1. 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 planer.

2. 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.

The cutterhead knives on the G8794 planer are extremely sharp. Merely brushing your finger along the edge can result in a severe cut. Take extreme caution when doing any of the adjustments involving the cutterhead knives. Wear thick gloves anytime it is necessary to manually rotate the cutterhead assembly.

The table surface has a protective film on it which must be peeled away. The cutterhead surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. The cutter knives are extremely sharp, use great caution when cleaning those areas. 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 highly flammable, and 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 use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to remove this protective coating. These products generally have low flash points which makes them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Mounting to Bench

The planer can be directly mounted to a bench or table top, or to a Shop Fox

Deluxe Tool Table for

increased stability during planing. Use the mount-

ing holes shown in Figure 4, using the appropri-

ate fasteners.

Figure 4. Mounting hole location.

Figure 3. Mounting handle.

Chip Deflector

Handle Assembly

For your safety and proper machine operation, ensure that the chip deflector is secured before use. The chip deflector directs wood chips away from the cutterhead during operation and covers the cutterhead and feed rollers for operator safety. To secure the chip deflector:

1. Align the chip deflector with the two bolts

mounted at the exit side of the planer.

2. Set chip deflector in place and use two wing nuts and washers to secure in place. See

Figure 2.

Figure 2. Chip deflector mounting studs.

Attach the handle assembly to the shaft protruding out of the top of the planer. Align the flat inside the handle bore with the flat on the shaft. Insert the M5-.8 x 20mm cap screw. Do not over tighten.

SECTION 5: CONTROLS

On-Off Switch

The on-off switch is located on the front of the

planer. See Figure 5. The switch has a key

which, when removed, allows the switch to be locked in the “off” position. To access the locking feature, push the switch to the OFF position and pull the switch key out. Should the key be removed when the planer is ON, it can still be turned OFF, but will not be able to be restarted until the key is replaced.

Figure 5. Location of switch and reset button.

Reset Button

The G8794 Planer comes equipped with a thermal overload protection switch which will trip if the motor builds up too high a level of heat. To reset the switch, turn the switch to the OFF position, wait a few seconds and then depress the reset

button. See Figure 5. If the reset button does not

stay depressed, wait longer before resetting to allow the machine to cool down.

Reset Button

Depth-Of-Cut

The planing depth is controlled by the crank handle on top of the planer. Turning the handle clockwise raises the cutterhead and counter-clockwise

lowers the cutterhead. See Figure 6. Depth-of-

cut is read directly from the inch/millimeter scale located on the top, right side of the planer. One complete turn of the handle raises or lowers the cutterhead approximately

⁄64'' (2mm). The range

of material thickness that can be planed is

⁄16'' -

6'' (5mm - 1152mm).

The maximum depth-of-cut varies according to the hardness of the wood and how wide the board is being passed under the cutterhead. Generally we recommend a maximum depth of

⁄32". A series of light cuts will give a better end result than trying to take off too much material in a single pass, plus there is less strain on the motor.

Figure 7. Aligning extension wings.

SECTION 6: ADJUSTMENTS

Extension Wings

Your planer is equipped with front and rear extension wings. Each wing folds up for machine mobility and down for machine operation. To check alignment, lay a straightedge across the

bed and wings. See Figure 7.

If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

1. Use the 10mm wrench and loosen the lock-

ing nuts and set bolts underneath each extension wing.

2. Hold a straightedge across the bed and

wing and turn the adjustment bolts so the end of the wing is flush with the straightedge.

3. Move the straightedge across the width of

the table and repeat step two. Re-check to ensure consistency from side to side. Without turning the set bolts, tighten the lock nuts.

4. To adjust the second wing, repeat steps

one through three above.

Adjustment Bolt and Locknut

Figure 8. Turn tightening bolt clockwise to loosen.

Knife Setting

The G8794 Planer is equipped with a 2 blade cutterhead. The blades are locked in position by a knife locking bar with seven bolts angled to put pressure on the assembly when they are tightened. A set of two springs under each blade pushes up to keep the blade portion exposed. The knife setting gauge is used to push down on

the blade to set it to the proper height.

Disconnect the power cord from the power source before adjusting or removing the knives.

To remove the knives:

1. Lower cutterhead to provide access to

knives from the top.

2. Remove chip deflector.

3. Use the 8mm end of the wrench to loosen the bolts in the knife locking bar. Turn clockwise to loosen bolts and free the knife! (See Figure 8)

4. Slide knife out of cutterhead. Use care

when handling knives - they are sharp!

5. Repeat steps three and four above to

Figure 10. Knife gauge positioned on cutterhead.

The cutterhead knives on the G8794 planer are extremely sharp. Merely brushing your finger along the edge can result in a severe cut. Take extreme caution when doing any adjustments involving the cutterhead knives. Wear thick gloves anytime it is necessary to manually rotate the cutterhead assembly.

Figure 9.

2. Insert the knife into the space between the

cutterhead and the locking bar. Make sure the knife’s bevel side is against cutterhead.

3. Position knife setting gauge on the cutter-

head. See Figure 10.

4. While holding the knife setting gauge with

one hand so it sits firmly on the cutterhead,

NOTICE

Never run the planer with only one knife installed in the cutterhead. This will cause a severe imbalance condition at the high speed at which the cutterhead rotates. Always install both knives and make certain they are tightly secured. When resharpening, always have both knives sharpened as a set.

Make sure the G8794 is unplugged or disconnected from the power source and moving parts have come to a complete stop before investigating any problems or performing any maintenance or adjustments. Serious personal injury may occur.

remove second knife.

To install and adjust the knives:

1. Make sure the two springs in the knife

groove are in position. If the knife locking bar was removed, make certain it is reinserted with the bolts oriented as shown in

turn the tightening bolts counterclockwise with the other hand. Tighten the seven bolts until they begin to contact the side of the groove. Then tighten further, starting with the bolts at the center and working toward the outer ones. Once they are tight enough to hold the knife in position, remove the gauge.

5. Do a final tightening of each bolt. Recheck

with the setting gauge to make certain the knife did not move. The knife tip should be just touching the top of the arc of the gauge

as shown in Figure 10.

6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 above to set the

second knife.

7. Remove all tools and install chip deflector.

SECTION 7: OPERATIONS

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test the machine. Make certain you have removed any tools or gauges used in the adjustment or assembly process from the bed of the planer.

Plug the planer in and make sure the power supply is on at the main panel. With the locking key inserted, move the toggle switch to the ON position. Make sure that your finger is poised to flip the switch to the OFF position, just in case there’s a problem. The planer 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.

If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, feel free to contact our service department for help.

Test Run

• Inspect your lumber for twist or cup and sur-

face one face on a jointer if necessary.

• Scrape all glue off when planing laminated

stock.

• Plane boards of equal thicknesses when

planing multiples.

• Remove only

⁄32

'' to

⁄16

'' (.8mm to 1.6mm) of material on each pass. Remove less material in each pass when planing wide or dense stock.

• Support lumber on both ends. Get assis-

tance if planing long lumber, or use roller stands.

• Measure workpiece with calipers to get exact

results.

• Check surface of workpiece for any irregular-

ities.

• Plane equal amounts on each side of the

board to reduce the chance of warpage.

• Use entire width of planer to wear knives

evenly.

• Surface wood with the grain. Never feed any

end cut or end grained wood through the machine.

Figure 11. Common hardwood shear strengths.

The species of wood, as well as its condition, have a dramatic effect on planing ability. The harder the wood (as illustrated by its shear strength), the more difficult it will be to plane.

Commonly used hardwoods and their associated

shear strengths are illustrated in Figure 11. High

shear means difficult planing.

Similarly, common softwood shear strengths are

displayed in Figure 12.

Wood Characteristics

The species of wood, as well as condition, will affect planing ability. The harder the wood, the more difficult it will be to plane. We’ve included below, a list of wood characteristics you may encounter when planing. The following descriptions of defects will give you some possible answers to problems you may encounter while planing different materials. Possible solutions follow the descriptions.

Chipped Grain - usually a result of cutting

against the grain, or planing wood with knots or excessive amount of cross grain. Chipped grain can also be caused by dull knives. Often, chipped grain can be avoided by taking shallow cuts. If those options do not work, inspect your lumber and determine if its grain pattern is causing the problem. If the wood does not show substantial crossgrain, inspect your knives for sharpness.

Fuzzy Grain - Usually caused by surfacing lum-

ber with too high a moisture content. Sometimes fuzzy grain is a characteristic of some woods, such as basswood. Fuzzy grain can also be caused by dull knives or an incorrect grinding bevel. Check with a moisture meter. If moisture is greater than 20%, sticker the wood and allow to dry. Otherwise, inspect knife condition.

Glossy Surface - Usually caused by dull knives

taking shallow cuts at a slow feed speed. Surface gloss will usually be accompanied by overheating. Often, lumber will be scorched and eventually, damage to knives will occur.

Snipe - Occurs when board ends have more

material removed than the rest of the board. Usually caused when the workpiece is not properly supported as it goes through the machine. However, a small amount of snipe is inevitable. The best way to deal with snipe is by planing lumber longer than your intended work length and then cutting off the excess after planing is completed.

Page 17

G8794 121⁄2" Portable Planer

-15-

Wavy Surface - Caused by poor knife height

adjustment, wavy surface appears when one knife is taking deeper cuts than the rest of the knives. Recheck or reset knife height with the gauge.

Pitch & Glue Build-up - Glue and resin build-up

on the rollers and cutterhead will cause overheating by decreasing cutting sharpness while increasing drag in the feed mechanism. The result can include scorched lumber as well as uneven knife marks and chatter.

Chip Marks or Indentations - Chip indentation

or chip bruising is the result of wood chips not being thrown away from the cutterhead and out of the dust chute. Instead they are carried around the cutterhead, deposited on the planed surface and crushed by the outfeed roller. Chip indentations can be caused by a number of reasons, some of which are:

1. The type of lumber being planed. Certain

species have a tendency to chip bruise.

2. A high moisture content (over 15%) and/or

surface moisture. Typically found in airdried stock where the surface is dry but the inside needs a longer time to season.

3. Dull knives.

4. Too much material being removed in one

pass.

5. Improper knife cutting angle.

Possible Solutions:

1. Lumber must be completely dry, preferably

kiln-dried (KD). Air-dried (AD) lumber must be seasoned properly and have no surface moisture. Do not surface partially-air-dried (PAD) lumber.

2. Make sure planer knives are sharp.

3. Remove less material per pass.

4. Use a smaller cutting angle or a double

bevel grind (consult a reputable knife grinder).

Storing Power Cord

Figure 13. Convenient cord storage.

The underside of the outfeed extension wing contains a convenient cord storage area. Just fold the wing up, and wrap the cord around the storage wires to keep the cord neatly stowed until the next use of this portable planer.

SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G8794 Planer will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your planer each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

• Loose mounting bolts, extension wings, or handles, or excessive play in the depth-ofcut adjustment.

• Worn switch.

• Worn or damaged cords or plugs.

• Dull or damaged cutterhead knives.

• Any condition that could hamper the safe operation of the machine.

General

Knife Sharpening

Knife sharpness is one of the most important factors in getting good results with the planer. Knives can be made to last a long time if care is taken in checking the condition of the wood which is put into the machine. The biggest problem will come from wood with nails or other metal embedded. This will nick or chip the knives and can require a complete regrinding. Another wear factor is sand, grit, or other dirt on the surface of the wood which the knives have to cut through. Simply laying a board on a concrete floor can embed enough abrasive material to severely damage the knives. At the speed the cutterhead is rotating, these types of surface contamination can have a very abrasive effect.

This planer has knives with a grind angle of 40˚ which is a configuration which should suit most general planing needs. The optimal grind or bevel angle is a compromise between effective cutting (the smaller the angle the better the cutting action) and edge life where the larger the angle the more the edge is supported, thus the longer it will last.

For the best results it is best to have planer knives sharpened by a professional sharpening service which has the grinding and measurement equipment to assure that the knife cutting geometry is maintained at optimum levels. It is a procedure which requires some care and precision, otherwise a set of blades can be easily ruined. Knives should always be ground as a set so they can be properly matched. Unequal material removal can result in an unbalanced cutterhead which can affect not only planing surface quality but ultimately the life of the cutterhead bearings.

Please refer to Section 6 Adjustments - Knife Setting for complete detail on the removal and reinstallation of planer knives.

brushes are worn down to 1⁄4'' (6mm), it is time for replacement. When checking brushes, be sure to replace each brush in the same position and the same location that it came from. When replacing old brushes, be sure to replace both brushes at the same time.

Figure 14. Brush holder location.

V-Belt

The cutterhead is driven by a flat rubber V-belt located on the right side of the motor and cutterhead assembly (when facing the front of the machine). The belt is a durable long life belt, however eventually it may require replacement:

1. Remove the depth-of-cut handle and the

four Allen

head screws on the top cover. Pull the cover off and the sides are then free to be removed.

2. Remove the Belt Guard Cover. This piece

just snaps into two grooves. Squeeze the top of the cover slightly and pull up to

remove. See Figure 15.

3. ''Roll off'' the old belt toward the side of the

elevation screw.

4. Loop the new belt so that it completely sur-

rounds the motor pulley but with only half the "vees" engaged. Start the lower portion on the underside of the cutterhead pulley and slowly rotate the motor pulley with your free hand.

5. By pushing on the edge of the belt and

slowly turning the pulleys by hand, you can force the belt over until all the "vees" of the belt are in alignment with the "vees" on the pulley.

6. Replace the belt guard, sides, cover and

handle.

Motor

Keep the motor as clean as possible. Prevent any water, oil or wood chips from penetrating inside the motor. Be sure to clean the machine after every use.

The bearings inside the motor are also shielded and lubricated for the life of the bearing and require no routine maintenance.

This motor is equipped with long life carbon brushes. However, brush life expectancy is affected by motor loading. Planing very wide, dense boards or cutting too deep will reduce brush life. Check brushes after every ten to fifteen

hours of operation. See Figure 14. When the

Feed Rollers

The feed rollers rotate in bushing blocks that are spring-loaded. The feed rollers ride up on the board so roller pressure is maintained. If chips or sawdust build up between the bracket and bushing block, the amount of roller vertical travel will

be reduced. See Figure 16.

Periodically check and clean chips and sawdust from between the bushing blocks and brackets. Remove the side covers from the Planer by removing the depth-of-cut handle on top, and then remove the four Allen

head screws holding the cover. Lift the top cover off, then remove the sides. This provides easy access to depress the rollers so that chips and sawdust can be easily removed:

1. Place a 3-4'' high block of wood between

one of the feed rollers and the planer bed. Ensure that the block of wood is not under the cutterhead.

2. Lower the cutterhead assembly down just

enough so that the roller is pushed up against the spring and pressure is off of the two brackets.

3. Remove any trapped material from

between the roller assembly and bracket.

4. Raise the cutterhead assembly and remove

the block of wood.

Figure 16. Location of potential trapped sawdust.

Figure 17. Lubrication of chain and screw.

Lubrication

There are two primary points requiring periodic lubrication; the head elevation screws and the feed roller chain drive. Access for lubrication requires removing the cover and sides of the machine first. Remove the depth-of-cut handle and the four Allen

head screws on the top cover.

Pull the cover off and the sides are then free to be

removed. See Figure 17.

The elevation screws on each side of the machine should be coated with a light grease to lubricate the threads. The chain drive can be lubricated with a spray oil. Saturate each chain link, then wipe off the excess so that sawdust will not be attracted.

Replace the sides, cover and handle when complete.

5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for the other feed

roller.

6. Replace the sides, cover and depth-of-cut

handle.
