SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the
machine controls/components
discussed later
in this manual
are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and
seek additional training from expe-
rienced
machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire manual BEFORE
using machine.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.
Eye injuries, respiratory problems, or hear-
ing loss can occur while operating this
tool. Wear personal protective equipment to
reduce your risk from these hazards.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-
able for planing.
2. Puts on safety glasses or face shield, a respi-
rator, and ear protection.
3. If workpiece is bowed, operator surface
planes workpiece on a jointer until one side
is flat. Doing so ensures that it sits solidly on
planer table during operation.
4. Places workpiece on table with flat side
down. Positions front edge of workpiece far
enough under cutterhead assembly to set
depth of cut using cutterhead elevation scale
(see Depth of Cut on Page 20).
5. Correctly adjusts cutterhead height to
workpiece thickness.
6. When all safety precautions have been taken,
turns planer ON.
7. Stands to one side of planer path to reduce
risk of kickback injuries, then, with flat surface
of workpiece facing down, feeds workpiece
into planer until infeed roller grabs it.
8. Once workpiece is clear of outfeed roller,
operator measures workpiece thickness. If
further planing is required, operator adjusts
cutterhead height, then feed workpiece into
front of planer again.
9. Operator continues process until desired
thickness is achieved, then turns machine
OFF.
