SAFETY

Additional Planer Safety

Know how to reduce the risk of kickback and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback” occurs during the operation when the workpiece is ejected back from the infeed side of the machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback is commonly caused by poor workpiece selection, unsafe feeding techniques, or improper machine setup/ maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck by the workpiece, resulting in impact injuries (i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises, death); (2) operator’s hands are pulled into the machine from the outfeed side, resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.
Never remove guards/covers or reach inside the planer during operation or while connected to power. You could be seriously injured if you accidentally touch the spinning cutterhead or get entangled in moving parts. If a workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust removal is necessary, turn planer OFF, allow cutterhead to stop, and disconnect power before clearing.
Only use sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. Dull or damaged knives/inserts increase the risk of kickback.
To reduce the risk of kickback injuries or machine damage, thoroughly inspect and prepare the workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots, or foreign material. Workpieces with minor warping should be jointed first or planed with the cupped side facing the table.
Stand to one side of planer during the entire operation to avoid getting hit if kickback occurs.
Planing across the grain is hard on the planer and may cause kickback. Plane in the same direction or at a slight angle
Planing Correct Material: Only plane natural
wood stock with this planer. DO NOT plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other synthetic materials that can break up inside the planer and be ejected towards the operator.
Looking Inside Planer: Wood chips fly around
inside the planer at a high rate of speed during operation. To avoid injury from flying material, DO NOT look inside planer during operation.
Cutting Limitations: To reduce the risk of
kickback hazards or damage to the machine, do not exceed the maximum depth of cut or minimum board length and thickness found in the Data Sheet. Only feed one board at a time.
Infeed Roller Clearance: The infeed roller
is designed to pull material into the spinning cutterhead. To reduce the risk of entanglement, keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from the infeed roller during operation.
Feed Workpiece Properly: To reduce the risk
of kickback, never start planer with workpiece touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding, and do not change feed speed during cutting operation.
Workpiece Support: To reduce the risk of
kickback, always make sure workpiece can move completely across table without rocking or tipping. Use auxiliary support stands for long stock.
Secure Knives/Inserts: Loose knives or
improperly set inserts can become dangerous projectiles or cause machine damage. Always verify knives/inserts are secure and properly adjusted before operation.

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed.
To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a or qualified service personnel applicable electrical codes and safety standards.
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.
Note: The circuit requirements in this manual are for machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure the circuit is properly sized.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the main breaker box or fuse panel in your building and the incoming power connections inside the machine. This circuit must be safely sized to handle the full-load current that may be drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
This machine must be grounded! In the event of grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment­grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with an electrician or qualified service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded.
If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

Dust Collection

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/ dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and capturing the dust with a dust-collection system.
Minimum CFM at Dust Port:
• SB1108: 400 CFM
• SB1109: 600 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

Follow instructions in Calibrating Digital
Readout on Page 31.
To connect machine to a dust collector:
1. For SB1108, fit a 4" dust hose (SB1109
requires 5" dust hose) that is connected to a dust collector over dust port (see Figure 22), and secure in place with a hose clamp.
Tug hose to make sure it does not come off.

Test Run

After all preparation steps have been completed, the machine and its safety features must be tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover a problem with the operation of the machine or its safety components, do not operate it further until you have resolved the problem.
Note: Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 47 for solutions to common problems that occur with all planers. If you need additional help, contact our Tech Support or (360) 734-1540.
The test run consists of verifying the following:
• Motors power up and run correctly.
• EMERGENCY STOP button works
correctly.
Serious injury or death can result from using this machine BEFORE understanding its controls and related safety information. DO NOT operate, or allow others to operate, machine until the information is understood.
2. Wipe clean 6mm hex wrench and insert
short end inside oil fill hole with inserted end pointing down, then remove it.
— If end of hex wrench is coated with oil,
then gearbox oil level is okay. Replace fill plug and continue setup.
— If end of hex wrench is not coated with oil,
then you need to add more oil. Refer to Gearbox Oil on Page 37 for instructions on how to do this.
Note: We recommend that you replace the gearbox oil after the first 20 hours of operation. This is a normal break-in procedure and will help maximize the service life of the machine by flushing away any particles from the break-in and manufacturing process.
DO NOT start machine until all preceding setup instructions have been performed. Operating an improperly set up machine may result in malfunction or unexpected results that can lead to serious injury, death, or machine/property damage.

Chipped Grain
Problem:
grain, planing lumber with knots or excessive amount of cross grain, or using dull knives/ inserts.
Note:
highly fi gured wood.
Solution:
feed rate. Inspect your lumber and determine if its grain pattern is causing the problem. If the lumber does not show substantial crossgrain, inspect your knives/inserts.
Fuzzy Grain
Problem:
with too high of a moisture content. Sometimes fuzzy grain is an unavoidable characteristic of some woods, such as basswood. Fuzzy grain can also be caused by dull knives/inserts.
Solution:

Solution:
Chip Marks or Indentations
Problem:
the result of wood chips not being thrown away from the cutterhead and out of the machine. Instead they are carried around the cutterhead, deposited on the planed surface and crushed by the outfeed roller. Some of the causes of chip indentation are:

Depth of Cut

Table Movement
One Full Revolution of Handwheel
Material Thickness Range
SB1108 SB1109
The depth of cut on a planer means the amount of material that is removed from the top of the workpiece as it passes underneath the cutterhead.
The depth of cut is set by adjusting the distance of the table below the cutterhead. This distance is the thickness of the workpiece minus the depth of cut. The planing depth of cut is controlled by using the table height handwheel on the right side of the machine. Rotating the handwheel clockwise raises the table.
Although the correct depth of cut varies according to wood hardness and workpiece width, we recommend the maximum depth of cut (per pass) be no more than will give better end results and put less stress on the planer than trying to take off too much material in a single pass.

Feed Rate ..............................................10–28 FPM
The infeed and outfeed rollers move the workpiece through the planer while keeping it flat and providing a consistent rate of movement. The speed that these rollers move the workpiece through the planer is the feed rate.
Generally, low feed rates are used for finishing passes, while higher feed rates are used for dimensioning passes.
Use the FEED SPEED control knob (see Figure 26) to adjust the feed rate according workpiece type and desired results.
Feed Rate
The depth of cut can be referenced directly from the scale on the front of the planer, as shown in the figure below.
Note: The scale and digital readout function as a general guide only, and is not intended for low­tolerance, precision results. To ensure accuracy, use a tape measure or caliper to measure your workpiece thickness after each pass.

The correct height of the bed rollers will vary, depending on the type of material you intend to plane. However, as a general rule, keep the bed roller height range within the listed range above the table surface, as illustrated.
When planing rough stock, set the rollers high to keep the lumber from dragging along the bed. When planing milled lumber, set the rollers low to help minimize snipe.
To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment process quicker and easier, we recommend using a Rotacator (refer to Accessories) to gauge the bed roller height from the table surface. If a Rotacator is not available, a straightedge and feeler gauges can be used, but

Digital Readout

The digital readout has two modes of use, Absolute (ABS) and Incremental (INC).
When used in ABS mode, the readout displays the distance between the table and the edge of the cutterhead insert at bottom-dead-center (BDC) to show workpiece thickness.
When INC mode is used, the readout displays the distance between the current position of the table and the position of the table where incremental mode was set at 0 to show how much material was removed from the workpiece.
To enter INC mode, press ABS/INC until INC is displayed. Each time the unit is placed in INC mode, the incremental value is reset to 0.
The digital readout is powered by 2 AAA batteries. The readout will display a battery icon when the battery level is low and needs replacing. Each time the batteries are replaced, the digital readout will need to be calibrated.

Failure to follow reasonable lubrication practices as instructed in this manual for your machine could lead to premature failure of components and void the warranty.
Your planer features bearings that are lubricated and sealed at the factory. These bearings do not require any further attention unless they need to be replaced. If a bearing fails, your planer will probably develop a noticeable rumble or vibration, which will increase when the machine is under a load. The bearings are standard sizes and can be replaced through Grizzly.
Follow the maintenance schedule on this page and the procedures beginning on Page 33 to properly lubricate the other planer components, which are essential for long life and trouble-free operation of your planer.

Anti-Kickback Fingers

The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety feature of your planer. The fingers hang from a rod suspended across the head casting and in front of the infeed roller, as shown. This design allows the workpiece to easily enter the planer but reduces the risk of kickback by digging into the workpiece if it moves backward.
Anti Kickback Fingers
Proper operation of anti-kickback fi ngers is critical for safe operation of this planer. DO NOT operate planer if anti-kickback fi ngers are not operating correctly. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

Adjusting Feed-Roller Spring Tension

The infeed and outfeed rollers keep the workpiece moving through the planer. Springs exert downward pressure on the feed rollers while allowing them to raise with an uneven workpiece surface. Proper spring tension is crucial to keep the workpiece moving through the planer during operation without pulling from one side to the other.
The ideal feed-roller spring tension varies depending upon the type of wood you plane. When adjusting spring tension, keep the following in mind:
• If you are planing milled lumber with a consistent surface, use less spring tension to reduce the risk of marring the workpiece.
• If you are planing rough lumber with
inconsistent surfaces, use greater spring tension to keep the stock moving through the planer.

Adjusting Table Parallelism

Tools Needed Qty
Rotacator ...............................................................1
Phillips Screwdriver #2 Wrench or Socket 14mm Hex Wrench 6mm
Table parallelism is critical to the operation of the machine. As such, it is essential that the table is adjusted parallel with the cutterhead (within 0.002") from side-to-side, as illustrated in Figure 64.

.................................................1
Cutterhead
.....................0.002"
...................0.020"
....................................... 1
How the table sits in relation to the head casting from front-to-back is also important. Because the feed rollers, pressure bar, and chip breaker are adjusted off the table position, the tolerances on the front-to-back positioning are not as critical as the cutterhead/table side-to-side positioning. Therefore, the maximum allowable tolerance for the front-to-back parallelism is within 0.020" (see Figure 65).

Table Parallelism Inspection
The easiest way to determine if your head casting has a parallelism problem is to plane a workpiece and measure the thickness in multiple locations. If the workpiece is tapered from left-to­right or from front-to-back, then parallelism may be a problem.
Use your Rotacator to further inspect the table parallelism. If you do not have a Rotacator, a wood block and feeler gauges may be used, but extra care must be taken to ensure accuracy. If the table is not within the maximum allowable tolerances, it must be adjusted.

Table Parallelism Adjustments
The table is adjusted by turning the chain sprockets underneath the table for movements over 0.016" or by adjusting how the table is mounted on the columns for movements under
0.016".
NOTICE
When making adjustments, tighten fasteners after each step to ensure the accuracy of your tests. When adjusting the chain sprockets, keep in mind that if the chain becomes too loose, it will fall off of all the sprockets, and returning it to its proper location can be extremely difficult.
To adjust table parallelism:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
1.
Remove motor access panel and locate chain
2.
on underside of table.
Loosen lock bolts and idler sprocket (see
3.
Figure 66).
5. Mark location of one tooth of sprocket that
you are adjusting.
Carefully rotate sprocket (clockwise to lower
6.
table; counterclockwise to raise table) just enough to position next tooth at marked location, then fit chain around sprocket again.
Repeat Steps 4–6 with each sprocket
7.
that needs to be adjusted until table-to­cutterhead clearance is within 0.016" from one side to the other.
8. Make sure chain is properly fitted on
sprockets, then re-tighten idler sprocket and lock bolts.
If necessary, micro-adjust table position by
9.
loosening cap screws (see Figure 67) and raising or lowering table until it is properly aligned with cutterhead.
Note: This process may require adjusting the
columns on both the left and right hand sides until you find the correct combination.
4. Move chain away from sprocket you want to
adjust so only that sprocket can be rotated independent of chain.
Note: If the left side of the table is too high,
the left two sprockets will need to be adjusted. Each tooth on the sprocket represents 0.016" of vertical movement as the cogs are turned. Make sure, as you turn the sprockets, to keep an accurate tooth count to ensure that the table is adjusted equally.
Re-tension table height chain (see
