G8794 12
1
⁄2" Portable Planer
Clean up Site Considerations
The Model G8794 is designed to be portable.
There is a carry handle located on the top of the
planer, as well as handles on both sides of the
planer to aid in lifting and moving. Before moving
the planer, fold the extension wings up and
ensure that the power cord is disconnected and
stored beneath the wing on the cord storage loop.
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 G8794 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 adjust-
ments involving the cutterhead knives. Wear
thick gloves anytime it is necessary to manu-
ally rotate the cutterhead assembly.
The table surface has a protective film on it which
must be peeled away. The cutterhead surfaces
are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from
corrosion during shipment. Remove this protec-
tive coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based
degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser.
The cutter knives are extremely sharp, use great
caution when cleaning those areas. 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 potential ignition
sources when dealing with solvents. Use care
when disposing of waste rags and towels to
be sure they do not create fire or environmen-
tal 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 flamma-
ble. A risk of explosion and burning exists if
these products are used. Serious personal
injury may occur.
