-30- G1021Z 15" Planer
Crank the handwheel to raise or lower the table
according to the desired workpiece thickness.
Make sure the height scale is properly adjusted.
The power feed features two feed rates; 16 FPM
and 20 FPM. When running the machine, the
operator can control the feed speed by moving
the feed control knob. Moving the knob toward the
machine produces the 20 FPM feed speed, away
from the machine produces 16 FPM and a center
position places the gear box in neutral. See
Figure 36.

The Model G1021Z is equipped with a depth lim-
iter located on the bottom of the cutterhead cast-
ing just under the nameplate. See Figure 37. The
depth limiter controls maximum depth of cut to
1
/8".
With the limiting clip installed, you cannot cut
more than
1
/8" in a single pass. While cutting this
much material is possible, it is not recommended.
Take it slow and easy.The quality of your work will
be better and your planer will last longer.

NOTICE
If you take a cut that is too large, the planer
will bog down noticeably. The motor may
even stall. If this happens, turn off the
power immediately, lower the table, and
remove your workpiece. Re-adjust your
table to allow a lesser cut and repeat your
operation.
NOTICE
The feed rate should be set while the plan-
er is running but before feeding lumber into
it. DO NOT attempt to change speeds after
the cutting operation has begun.
