Additional Safety for Jointers

1.JOINTER KICKBACK. "Kickback" is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table by the force of the cutterhead. Always use push blocks and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from ???kickback.??? If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT operate this machine.

2.CUTTERHEAD ALIGNMENT. Keep the top edge of the outfeed table aligned with the edge of the cutterhead at top dead center (TDC) to avoid kickback and personal inju- ries.

3.PUSH BLOCKS. Always use push blocks whenever surface planing. Never pass your hands directly over the cutterhead without a push block.

4.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Supporting the workpiece adequately at all times while cutting is crucial for making safe cuts and avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.

5.KICKBACK ZONE. The "kickback zone" is the path directly through the end of the infeed table. Never stand or allow others to stand in this area during operation.

6.MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. The maxi- mum cutting depth for one pass is 1???8". Never attempt any single cut deeper than this!

7.JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.

8.KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. With the exception of rabbeting, all operations must be performed with the guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.

9.PROPER CUTTING. When cutting, always keep the workpiece moving toward the outfeed table until the workpiece has passed completely over the cutterhead. Never back the work toward the infeed table.

10.USING GOOD STOCK. Jointing safety begins with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed it over the cutterhead. Never joint a board that has loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!

Like all machines there is danger associated with this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

Serious personal injury could occur if you connect the machine to the power source before you have completed the set up pro- cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.

Amperage Draw

The Model G0609 motor draws the following amps under maximum load:

Circuit Requirements

We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this machine. You MUST connect your machine to a grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher amper- age without consulting a quali???ed electrician to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

Plug/Receptacle Type

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding wire in the power cord must be properly connect- ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and ground- ed. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded correctly or if your electrical con- figuration does not com- ply with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with a quali- fied electrician!

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension cords. Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an extension cord at 220V with your machine:

???Use at least a 12 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length!

Figure 2. NEMA L6-20 plug and receptacle. -10-

The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 50 feet long to prevent motor damage.

Hardware Recognition Chart

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during ship- ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol- vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly???s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For opti- mum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo- rine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, as they may damage painted sur- faces should they come in contact. Always follow the manufacturer???s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and could cause an explosion or fire if used to clean machinery. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingest- ed. Lack of ventilation while using these sol- vents could cause seri- ous personal health risks or fire. Take precautions from this hazard by only using cleaning solvents in a well ventilated area.

Site Considerations

Floor Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some residential floors may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator.

Machine Placement

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 location for your new machine. See Figure 5 for the minimum working clearances.

Unsupervised children and visitors inside your shop could cause serious per- sonal injury to themselves. Lock all entrances to the shop when you are away and DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in your shop at any time!

Moving & Placing

Jointer

machine. Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed. To be safe, you will need assistance and power equipment when moving the ship- ping crate and remov- ing the machine from the crate.

The Model G0609 requires the use of lifting equipment such as a forklift, engine hoist, or boom crane. DO NOT lift the machine by hand.

If you are unsure how to lift this jointer, consult a qualified professional.

To lift the jointer:

1.Wrap lifting straps around the infeed and outfeed tables. Position the straps as close to the base as possible to prevent damaging the tables.

2.With lifting straps positioned evenly, lift the jointer (Figure 6) off of the pallet and onto the floor.

Figure 6. Model G0609 supported evenly by two lifting straps.

G0609 12" Parallelogram Jointer

Mounting to Shop Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to level your machine with a precision level.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 7) and anchor studs are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug- gest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.

Anchor Stud

Lag Shield & Bolt

Figure 7. Typical fasteners for mounting to concrete floors.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.

Fence

Make sure the fence, carriage, and table have been thoroughly cleaned of all the export grease before installing the fence, or the fence will not slide easily. The fence has a keyway slot built into the underside of it that fits over the key on the table. These keep the fence perpendicular to the cutterhead during adjustments.

To install the fence:

1.Align the mounting holes on the fence bracket and jointer, and fasten with the M12-1.75 x 30 cap screws, flat washers and lock washers as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8. Installing fence bracket.

2.With the help of an assistant, lift the fence assembly over the fence bracket, slip the sliding bushing (Figure 9) into the fence bracket slot, and make sure the key and key- way slot fit snugly.

Figure 9. Installing fence assembly.

3.Secure the sliding bushing with a 12mm flat washer and lock nut.

Winding Cutterhead

Guard

Though the cutterhead guard is pre-installed, you should check to make sure it works.

1.Pull the guard back and let it go. The guard should spring back over the cutterhead.

???If the guard drags across the table, loosen the set screws on the guard, raise it slight- ly, then tighten the set screws.

???If the guard does not spring back over the

cutterhead, loosen the set screws on the jointer shown in Figure 10, hold the guard over the cutterhead, and wind the shaft collar clockwise. Tighten the set screws. Check to see if the guard works and adjust the collar as needed.

Checking Outfeed

Table Height

The outfeed table MUST be level with the knives when they are at top-dead-center or the workpiece cannot be feed across the jointer safely. The outfeed table height is factory set, but we recom- mend that you check it to make sure that it didn???t change during shipping.

To check the outfeed table height:

1.Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it extends over the cutterhead.

2.Rotate the cutterhead pulley until one of the knives is at top-dead-center (TDC), as illus- trated in Figure 14.

DO NOT operate the Model G0609 with- out an adequate dust collection system. This machine creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

The dust port is installed at the factory, so just attach it to an adequate dust collection system.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port:.... 615 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must take into account many variables, including the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the amount of branches or wyes, and the amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining this cal- culation is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

G0609 12" Parallelogram Jointer

Stock Inspection

and Requirements

Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock:

???DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the workpiece can occur if the knots become dislodged during the cutting operation.

???DO NOT joint or surface plane against the grain direction. Cutting against the grain increases the likelihood of stock kickback, as well as tear-out on the workpiece.

???Jointing and surface planing with the grain produces a better finish and is safer for the operator. Cutting with the grain is described as feeding the stock on the jointer so the grain points down and toward you as viewed on the edge of the stock (Figure 19).

Note: If the grain changes direction along the edge of the board, decrease the cutting depth and make additional passes.

?????????????????????

??????????????????????????????

???????????????????????????

???????????????????????????????????????

Figure 19. Correct and incorrect grain alignment to cutterhead.

-21-

???Remove foreign objects from the stock.

Make sure that any stock you process with the jointer is clean and free of any dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects that may damage the jointer blades.

???Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetically made materials.

???Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before jointing. Wood with a moisture con- tent over 20% will cause unnecessary wear on the knives and poor cutting results.

???Make sure your workpiece exceeds the minimum dimension requirements (Figures 20 & 21) before edge jointing or surface planing, or it may break or kick back during the operation!

Squaring Stock

Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the order below:

1. Surface Plane On The Jointer???The con- cave face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer.

2. Surface Plane On a Thickness Planer???The opposite face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with a thickness planer.

Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 22 & 23) to prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described. This procedure will better pre- pare you for the actual operation.

Figure 23. Illustration of surface planing results.

G0609 12" Parallelogram Jointer

To surface plane on the jointer:

1.Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY, beginning on Page 7.

2.Inspect your stock for the dangerous con- ditions described in Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on

Page 21.

3.Set the cutting depth for your operation.

Note: We suggest 1???32" for surface planing, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.

4.Set the fence to 90?? and place the workpiece on the jointer.

???If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the cupped or concave side is

face own (Figure 23) on the surface of the infeed table.

5.Start the jointer.

The step below requires you to use push blocks. Failure to use push blocks when surface planing may result in cutterhead contact, which will cause serious personal injury. Always use push blocks to protect your hands when surface planing on the jointer.

6.With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead (Figure 22).

Note: If your leading hand (with push block) gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus your pres- sure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

7.Repeat Step 6 until the entire surface is flat.

-23-

Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin- ished, flat-edged surface (see Figures 24 & 25) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a section of the workpiece edge (see Figures 28 & 29). When combined with another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong method of joining stock.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

Figure 28. Typical rabbet cutting operation.

To rabbet cut on the jointer:

1.Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY, beginning on Page 7.

2.Inspect your stock for the dangerous con- ditions described in the Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on Page 21.

3.Set the cutting depth for your operation.

Note: We suggest between 1???16" and 1???8" for rabbet cutting, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.

4.Loosen the set screws shown in Figure 10, Page 17, and remove the cutterhead guard.

5.Move your fence forward so the amount of infeed/outfeed table exposed is the same as the size of your rabbet. Also, make sure your fence is set to 90?? and place the workpiece on the jointer.

6.Start the jointer.

7.With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure (Figure 28), and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead. Note:

If your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is mov- ing!

8.Repeat Step 7 until the your rabbet is cut to depth.

9.Replace the cutterhead guard, wind the col- lar (See Page 17), and tighten the screws.

When the cutterhead guard is removed, attempting any other cut besides a rabbet directly exposes the operator to the moving cutterhead. Always replace the cutterhead guard after rabbet cutting!

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Maintenance

???Vacuum all dust on and around the machine.

???Wipe down tables and all other unpainted cast iron with a metal protectant.

Monthly Maintenance

???Inspect V-belts for tension, damage, or wear.

???Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi- net and off of motor.

-30-

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0609 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use??? this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96?? Gun Treatment, SLIPIT??, or Boeshield?? T-9 (see SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 27 for more details).

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.

???The knives are set correctly when they just touch the bottom of the straightedge in each of the straightedge positions.

???If the knives do not touch the straightedge or they lift it up in any of the positions, then those knives need to be adjusted.

Adjusting/Replacing

Knives

Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the prop- er operation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others.

There are two options for setting the knives???the straightedge method and the knife setting jig method. Each option has advantages and dis- advantages and the correct one for you will become a matter of personal preference. For best results, the tables must be parallel with each other (Checking/Adjusting Table Parallelism on Page 37) and the outfeed table height must be properly set (Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 39).

Straightedge Method: A high quality straight- edge is held flat against the outfeed table and the knife heights are set to the bottom of the straightedge, as shown in Figure 42. Because the knife projection height from the cutterhead is dependent on the outfeed table height, the outfeed table must be set as described in Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 39 for this meth- od to work correctly.

When using a straightedge to set the knives, you will not need to move the outfeed table once it is set and you will always be assured that the knives are even with the outfeed table in their highest point of rotation???even if the cutterhead is not parallel with the outfeed table.

G0609 12" Parallelogram Jointer

Knife Setting Jig Method: Both tables are low- ered to fit the jig on the cutterhead, as shown in Figure 43, and the knife heights are set to just touch the middle pad of the jig.

The knife setting jig makes it easy to ensure that the knives project out of the cutterhead evenly. After using the knife setting jig to set the knives, you have to re-adjust the outfeed table height to ensure that it is even with the knives at their high- est point of rotation. If you are using the positive stops on the tables, they will need to also be reset before operation.

Figure 43. Using knife setting jig to set knife height.

The Model G0609 comes with jack screws inside the cutterhead to adjust the knives (see Figure 44).

Figure 44. Cutterhead profile diagram.

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER

SOURCE!

2.Loosen the set screws shown in Figure 10, Page 17, remove the cutterhead guard, and move the fence back as far as it will go.

3.Open the pulley cover to expose the cutterhead pulley.

4.Rotate the cutterhead pulley to get access to one of the cutterhead knives.

5.Loosen the cutterhead gib bolts, starting in the middle, and alternating back and forth until all of the gib bolts are loose, but not fall- ing out.

???If this is the first time you are setting the knives, remove the gib and knife from the cutterhead.

6.Remove and clean the gibs and clean inside the cutterhead slot to remove all pitch or saw- dust. Coat the knives and gibs with a metal protectant (Page 27), then fit the gibs back in the cutterhead with the new knives.

7.Adjusting the knife heights:

a.Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack screws through the access holes in the cutterhead (Figure 45) and rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it will barely touch the bottom of the straight- edge or the knife setting jig middle pad.

b.Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place.

c.Repeat on the other side of the cutterhead.

d.Repeat Steps 5???7 with the rest of the knives.

9.Repeat Step 8.

10.Repeat Step 8, but final tighten each gib bolt.

11.If you used the knife setting jig to set the knife heights, use the straightedge to adjust the outfeed table height evenly with the knives at top dead center (the highest point in their rotation). If you used the straightedge to set the knife heights, skip to the next step.

???If the straightedge sits flat against both the infeed and outfeed table, then the tables are parallel. Set both table heights (Pages 39 & 40) and replace the cutterhead guard.

???If the straightedge does not sit flat against both the infeed and outfeed table in any of the positions, then follow the Adjusting Table Parallelism instructions.

Adjusting Table Parallelism

For safe and proper cutting results, the tables must be parallel to the cutterhead. Adjusting them to be parallel is a task of precision and patience, and may take up to one hour to complete. Luckily, this is considered a permanent adjustment and should not need to be repeated for the life of the machine.

Due to the complex nature of this task, we rec- ommend that you double check the current table positions to make sure that they really need to be adjusted before starting.

The tables have four eccentric bushings under each corner that allow the tables to be adjusted parallel. These eccentric bushings are locked in place by piggybacked set screws (one on top of the other) and adjust when rotated.

The correct order for adjusting the table parallel- ism is to first adjust the outfeed table parallel with the cutterhead to within 0.010"-0.012", then adjust the infeed table parallel with the outfeed table.

When setting the outfeed table, all measurements must be made from the cutterhead body???not the knives???or results may get skewed the next time you change knives.

IMPORTANT: The steps below are intended to be performed in succession with the steps involved in checking the outfeed table. Do not continue until you have followed those steps.

To adjust the table parallelism:

1.Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it hangs over the cutterhead, and lower the outfeed table until the straightedge just touches the cutterhead body, as shown in Figure 48 (rotate the cutterhead if neces- sary).

2.Remove the set screw from each of the four eccentric bushings (Figure 52) under the outfeed table, and loosen the set screws underneath those removed set screws.

G0609 12" Parallelogram Jointer

Figure 52. Eccentric bushing and set screw location.

3.Place the straightedge in one of the positions shown in Figure 49, and adjust the table (a small hammer and punch or pin-type span- ner wrench may be necessary to turn the eccentric bushings) so that the straightedge touches the cutterhead while lying flat across the outfeed table. Repeat this step with each of the remaining straightedge positions as many times as necessary until the outfeed table is parallel with the cutterhead to within 0.010"-0.012".

Note: Setting the outfeed table parallel to the cutterhead within 0.010"-0.012" will produce high quality results. Exceeding this number will produce minimal gain.

4.Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccen- tric bushings on the outfeed table.

5.Remove the set screw from each of the four eccentric bushings under the infeed table, and loosen the set screws underneath those removed set screws.

6.Place the straightedge halfway across the infeed table and halfway over the outfeed table, and adjust the infeed table even with the outfeed table, as shown in Figure 50.

7.Place the straightedge in one of the posi- tions shown in Figure 51, and adjust the eccentric bushings under the infeed table so the straightedge lies flat against both tables. Repeat this step with each of the remaining straightedge positions as many times as nec- essary until the infeed table is parallel with the outfeed table.

8.Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccen- tric bushings on the infeed table.

9.Set the outfeed table height (refer to the next sub-section).

10.Set the knives (refer to Page 35).

11.Reinstall the cutterhead guard and fence.

Setting Outfeed

Table Height

The outfeed table height must be even with the top of the cutterhead knives. If the outfeed table is set too low, there will be snipe. If the outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of kickback.

Setting Infeed Table

The infeed table on the Model G0609 has positive stop bolts that, when properly set up, allow the operator to quickly adjust the infeed table between finish/final cuts and shaping/heavy cuts.

We recommend setting the minimum depth of cut to 1???32" and the maximum depth of cut to 1???8" for most operations. DO NOT exceed 1???8" cut per pass on this machine or kickback and serious injury may occur!

Each positive stop bolt (Figure 54) controls the top or bottom range of the table movement. The jam nuts lock the positive stop bolts in position so they won't move during operation.

Inspect the V-belts closely; if you notice fraying, cracking, glazing, or any other damage, replace the belts. A worn or damaged V-belt will not pro- vide optimum power transmission from the motor to the drum and feed belt.

V-belt removal and replacement is simply a mat- ter of loosening the V-belts, rolling them off of the pulleys, replacing them with new belts, then retensioning them.
