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.

ELECTRICAL & ADJUSTMENTS

Electrical

The Model H3141 draws approximately 6
amps when operating at 110 volts. Be sure
your power source is 110 volts and capa­ble of handling a 6 amp current. The plug
on the Model H3141 is a 2 prong double
insulated style and should only be plugged
into a grounded power outlet. If you are
unsure about your electrical system, con­tact a qualified electrician.

Dust Bag

A dust collection bag is included with the
H3141 Planer. A significant amount of
shavings can be expelled from the planer
during operation. Attaching the dust bag
will reduce the amount of clean-up
required and will provide a safer environ­ment for the operator.

Depth Of Cut

The depth of cut is adjustable. To increase
the depth of cut turn the depth control knob
(Figure 4) clockwise. To decrease the
depth of cut turn the depth control knob
counterclockwise.

Width Of Cut

The width of cut is adjustable. The width of
cut can be set using the included fence
shown in Figure 5. Use the threaded knob
to secure the fence bracket to the side of
the planer. Loosen the wing nut and slide
the fence back and forth. Use the scale on
the fence bracket to set the desired width
of cut.

Depth Stop

The final cut depth on rabbeting operations
can be set using the adjustable depth stop
shown in Figure 6. Loosen the lock lever
and slide the depth stop to the desired final
depth on the scale. Re-lock the lever to
secure the depth stop.

Unplug the planer from the power
source before performing any adjust­ments or maintenance. Failure to fol­low this warning could result in seri­ous personal injury.

Planing

1. Unplug the planer from the power

source!

2. Set the planer on a flat surface such

as a workbench.

3. Turn the depth control knob until both

the infeed and outfeed soles are flat
against the workbench.

4. While keeping the outfeed sole flat

against the workbench, turn the depth
control knob to raise the infeed sole off
of the workbench. Note–The differ-

ence in height between the infeed and
outfeed soles will be the depth of cut
(See Figure 7).

5. Plug the planer into a suitable power
source. Review the Electrical sec-

tion.

6. If the fence will be used, attach the

fence to the planer and adjust it to the
desired width of cut.

7. Make sure all knobs are secure.

8. The planer is ready to be operated!

MAINTENANCE

Blades Changes

Periodically the blades will become dull.
Dull blades increase the load on the planer
and can reduce its usable lifespan. When
you notice the blade performance begin to
decrease, change the blades.

1. Unplug the planer from the power
source!

2. Use extreme caution when working
around the sharp blade edge.

3. Using the open end wrench, loosen the

3 gib bolts (Figure 8) on the blade
holder.

4. Using an allen wrench, loosen the 2

set screws in the blade holder.

5. Retract the side blade guard and slide

the blade and blade holder out of the
cutterhead.

6. Using a small flat head screwdriver,

push the blade out from the end of the
blade holder.

7. Once removed, you will notice 2 cut-

ting edges on each blade. Turning the
blades reveals the new cutting edge.

8. Re-insert the blade into the blade hold-

er so the new edge will be revealed.
New blades can be purchased in the
current Grizzly Catalog as Part
#H4999.

9. Re-install the blade holder into the cut-

terhead.

10. Set a straightedge across the outfeed

sole and over the cutterhead.

11. Rotate the cutterhead so the blade

edge is at the top-dead-center of its
rotation shown in Figure 9.

Unplug the planer from the power
source before performing any main­tenance. Failure to follow this warn­ing could result in serious personal
injury.

Cog Belt

To replace the cog belt (Figure 12), loosen
the phillips screws on the belt cover and
set the belt cover aside. To remove the
belt, turn the belt and pull it off the pulley at
the same time. To install the belt, place the
belt over the large pulley first, then pull and
turn the belt onto the smaller pulley.

Motor Brushes

To replace the motor brushes, loosen the
phillips screws on the vented motor cover
and set the motor cover aside. Remove the
brush holders and brushes, and replace
with new ones as shown in Figure 13.

12. Using an allen wrench, adjust the set
screws in the cutterhead (Figure 10)
until the blade edge just touches the
straightedge (Figure 11) . Note–If the

blade edge is set lower than the out­feed sole, the end of the workpiece will
not pass smoothly onto the outfeed
sole. If the blade edge is set higher
than the outfeed sole, accurate planing
results will not be achieved.

13. The edge of the outfeed and infeed
soles should be aligned with the edge
of the blade. Adjust if necessary.

14. Using the open-end wrench, tighten
the 3 gib bolts to secure the blade
holder into position.

15. Recheck the blade holder alignment
and blade height using a straightedge,

16. Repeat the blade changing process for
the second blade.
