SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Overview
The G1021Z Planer requires very little assembly
when you receive it. There a just a few easy
assembly steps to get the machine ready for your
shop. The machine should be properly adjusted
from the factory, however should you desire to
check the various settings, the following section
will detail the proper adjustment procedures.
This planer unit is very heavy, approximately 480
lbs.There are lifting handles which slide out of the
base of the planer head (Figure 2) which can be
used to move the unit. These can be used as lift-
ing points using an overhead lift, block and tack-
le or a forklift, or if you have three other friends
who are each willing to grab a handle!
Handwheel
The handwheel is used to raise and lower the
planer table.
TO MOUNT THE HANDWHEEL:
1. The handwheel shaft is at the front right
corner of the planer. Insert the key into the
keyway on the shaft, then line up the notch
on the handwheel bore with the key. Slide
the handwheel onto the shaft.
2. Slide the direction scale over the keyed
shaft so it sits on the center face of the
handwheel. See Figure 3.
3. Secure the handwheel with the 10mm -
1.25 hex nut and washer provided.
4. Attach the handle to the outer edge of the
handwheel. The handle threads into the
hole on the handwheel.
