G1017 12'' Portable Planer -9-
Clean up Site Considerations
The Model G1017 is designed to be portable.
There are handles on both sides of the planer to
aid in lifting and moving. Before moving the plan-
er, fold the depth control handle down, the exten-
sion wings up and ensure that the power cord is
disconnected.
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 loca-
tion for your planer.
2. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-
vent 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 G1017 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 nec-
essary to manually rotate the cutterhead
assembly.
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment.
Remove this protective coating with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol-
low 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 poten-
tial ignition sources when dealing with sol-
vents. Use care when disposing of waste
rags and towels to be sure they do not cre-
ate 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.
