G0612 6" Jointer
-11-
Consider the jointer dimensions and size of mate-
rial to be processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for your
jointer. See Figure 6 for the Model G0612 over-
head view dimensions.
The unpainted cast iron 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. To clean thor-
oughly, some parts may need to be removed. For
optimum performance from your machine,
make sure you clean all moving parts or slid-
ing contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid
chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or
brake parts cleaner, as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact.

Mounting the Jointer
Figure 7. Typical direct mount.
Figure 8. Typical through mount.
Your Model G0612 jointer must be securely
mounted to a sturdy workbench. There are two
ways to do this—either with a direct mount or
with a through mount. We strongly recommend a
through mount. Whichever method you choose,
mount the jointer through the four holes in its cast
iron base. See Figures 7 and 8 for examples of
direct and through mounts.
