Like all power tools, there is danger asso-ciated with the Grizzly 8" Jointers.Accidents are frequently caused by lack offamiliarity or failure to pay attention. Usethis tool with respect and caution to lessenthe possibility of operator injury. If normalsafety precautions are overlooked orignored, serious personal injury mayoccur.

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

Additional Safety Instructions For Jointers

1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with yourlumber. Inspect your stock carefully beforeyou feed it over the cutterhead. If you haveany doubts about the stability or structuralintegrity of your stock, DO NOT JOINT IT!

2. MAINTAIN PROPER RELATIONSHIP ofthe outfeed table and the cutterhead knifepath.

3. ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS wheneversurface planing. Never place your handsdirectly over the cutterhead.

4. SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE adequatelyat all times during operation, maintain con-trol over the work at all times.

5. WHEN JOINTING, do not stand directly atthe end of either table. Position yourselfjust to the side of the infeed table to avoidinjury from possible kickbacks.

6. NEVER MAKE ANY SINGLE CUT DEEP-ER THAN 1⁄8".

7. NEVER JOINT A BOARD that has looseknots. All defects should be cut out of theboard before it is planed or jointed.

8. NEVER JOINT end grain.

9. JOINT WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing againstthe grain is dangerous and could producechatter or excessive chip out .

10. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RABBETING,all operations must be performed with theguard in place. After rabbeting, be sure toreplace the guard.

11. NEVER BACK THE WORK toward theinfeed table.

12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – are hard tobreak. Develop good habits in your shopand safety will become second-nature toyou.

13. “KICKBACK” is when the workpiece isthrown off the jointer table by the force ofthe cutterhead. Always use pushblocks andsafety glasses to reduce the likelihood ofinjury from “kickback.” If you do not under-stand what kickback is, or how it occurs,DO NOT operate this machine.

14. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODSMAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTIONin people and animals, especially whenexposed to fine dust. Make sure you knowwhat type of wood dust you will be exposedto and always wear an approved respirator.

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, groundingreduces the risk of electric shock by providing apath of least resistance to disperse electric cur-rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord thathas an equipment-grounding prong. The outletmust be properly installed and grounded in accor-dance with all local codes and ordinances.

This machine must have a ground prong inthe plug to help ensure that it is grounded.DO NOT remove ground prong from plug tofit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug willnot fit the outlet, have the proper outletinstalled by a qualified electrician.

Verify that any existingelectrical outlet and cir-cuit you use is actuallygrounded. If not, it will benecessary to run a sepa-rate 12 A.W.G. coppergrounding wire from theoutlet to a known ground.If not grounded properly,serious personal injurycould occur.

220V OperationWe do not recommend the use of extension cordson 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-ment of your equipment and the installed wiring toeliminate the need for extension cords.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use anextension cord at 220V with your Grizzly 8"Jointer:

• Make sure the cord is rated for StandardService (grade S) or better.

• The extension cord must also contain aground wire and plug pin.

• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50feet long or less.

• Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord isbetween 51-100 feet.

110V OperationIf you find it necessary to use an extension cordat 110V with your Grizzly 8" jointer:

• Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service(grade S) or better.

• The extension cord must also contain aground wire and plug pin.

Common Terms and DefinitionsInfeed Table: The infeed table is the table where

the cutting operation begins. When facing thefront of the jointer, it is on the right-hand side.The wood travels right to left; from the infeedtable, across the cutterhead, and onto the out-feed table.

Outfeed Table: The outfeed table is the tablewhere the cutting operation ends. When facingthe front of the jointer, it is on the left-handside.

Cutterhead: The cutterhead is the cylindricalassembly that holds each of the jointer knives.It spins on a horizontal axis between the infeedand outfeed table, and is covered by the cut-terhead guard.

Fence: The jointer fence is the adjustable castiron surface that the wood stock runs alongwhen jointing and surface planing. The fence isadjustable from 45°-90° to the infeed and out-feed tables.

Adjustment Levers and Handwheels: Controlsthe height of the infeed and outfeed tables.

Table Lock Handles: The threaded handles thatmust be loosened before the height of thetables can be adjusted. They are then tight-ened after the height is properly set.

Rabbet Cut: A rabbet cut is a groove cut alongthe long edge of the wood stock, usually usedfor making simple joints. The cutterhead guardmust be removed for this operation, so greatcare is needed for safe operation.

Surface Planing: Surface planing is running theface of the wood stock over the jointer. Thisprovides one flat side that is ready to be runthrough a dedicated planing machine.

Edge Jointing: Edge jointing is running the longedge of the wood stock over the jointer. Thisprovides one flat edge that is ready to be runagainst the table saw rip fence or edge glued.

Cutterhead Guard: The metal guard that coversthe cutterhead and automatically moves out ofthe way during operation, then automaticallymoves back into place after the operation.

Site Considerations

Make your shop “childsafe.” Ensure that yourworkplace is inaccessibleto youngsters by closingand locking all entranceswhen you are away. Neverallow visitors in your shopwhen assembling, adjust-ing or operating equipment.

FLOOR AND WORKBENCH LOADYour Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW representsa medium weight load. Most commercial orgarage shop floors should be sufficient to carrythe weight. Before moving the jointer onto a res-idential floor, inspect it carefully to determine thatit will be sufficient to carry the load of themachine, the device for moving it and its opera-tors. If you question the strength of your floor, youshould consider having it inspected for possiblereinforcement.

WORKING CLEARANCESWorking clearances can be thought of as the dis-tances between machines and obstacles thatallow safe operation of every machine withoutlimitation. Consider existing and anticipatedmachine needs, size of material to be processedthrough each machine, and space for auxiliarystands and/or work tables. Also consider the rel-ative position of each machine to one another forefficient material handling.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminateshadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuitsshould be dedicated or large enough to handleamperage requirements. Outlets should be locat-ed near each machine so power or extensioncords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observelocal electrical codes for proper installation ofnew lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Clean UpThe unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxyoil to protect them from corrosion during ship-ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such asGrizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,some parts may need to be removed. For opti-mum performance from your machine, makesure you clean all moving parts or slidingcontact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-rine-based solvents as they may damage paintedsurfaces should they come in contact.

To access all surfaces, remove the fence lock nutand handle (see Figure 10), and remove thefence from the jointer unit.

Do not use gasoline orother petroleum-basedsolvents to clean with.They have low flashpoints which make themextremely flammable. Arisk of explosion andburning exists if theseproducts are used.

Do not smoke while usingsolvents. A risk of explo-sion or fire exists and mayresult in serious personalinjury.

Test Run

To install a plug on your power cord:

1. Refer to Section 3: Circuit Requirements todetermine the correct plug and receptacle foryour particular setup.

2. Have the plug and receptacle installed by alicensed electrician.

Plug Installation

DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust themachine while it is running. Wait until themachine is turned off, unplugged and allworking parts have come to a complete stopbefore you do anything! Otherwise seriouspersonal injury may occur.

Connect the power to the power supply. Pressthe START button. Make sure that your finger ispoised on the STOP button, just in case there isa problem. The jointer should run smoothly, withlittle or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange orunnatural noises should be investigated and cor-rected before operating the machine further.

If the jointer seems to be running correctly, let itrun for a short time to ensure that the movingparts are working properly with no excessivevibration. If any problem develops, correct itbefore attempting to use the machine.

If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises,feel free to contact our service department forhelp.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Keep loose clothing outof the way of machineryand keep hair pulledback during operations.

Your safety is important! Please follow thewarnings below during this entire section:

Operating this equipment creates thepotential for flying debris to cause eyeinjury. Always wear safety glasses whenoperating equipment. Everyday glasses orreading glasses only have impact resistantlenses, they are not safety glasses. Be cer-tain the safety glasses you wear meet theappropriate standards of the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI).

Using this machine pro-duces sawdust that maycause short and long-term respiratory illness.Always wear a dust maskwhen operating thismachine.

Stock Inspection& Requirements

Here are some rules to follow when choosingand cutting stock:

• If the stock has large or loose knots, findanother workpiece. Knots in a workpiece canbe dangerous to the operator, as well asdestructive to equipment.

• When jointing, always cut WITH the grainrather than AGAINST it. Cutting against thegrain (going against the pattern of the wood’sgrowth rings) chips the wood instead of cut-ting it, making the workpiece rough and irreg-ular and increasing the chances that a kick-back will occur.

To check the grain direction, look at the sideof your board. If the direction of the grainstructure facing the cutterhead runs towardthe cutterhead as it sits on the infeed table,your cut will be WITH the grain. See Figure43.

Figure 43. Correct and incorrect grain align-ment to cutterhead.

G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers -29-

Squaring Stock

The jointer performs two of the four requiredoperations for squaring up stock—surface plan-ing and edge jointing. To help you understandthese two operations better, we quickly describethe squaring process below:

15 30

45

Step 1. Surface plane the concave face with aJOINTER to make it flat.

Step 3. Plane the second face with a THICK-NESS PLANER to make it parallel to the first face.

Step 4. Rip the second edge with a TABLE SAWto make it parallel to the first edge.

Step 2. Edge joint the best edge with a JOINTERto make it flat.

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

• Only process natural wood fiber through yourjointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, ply-wood, laminates or other synthetically madematerials.

• Make sure any stock you joint is properlydried. Wood with a moisture content over20% will cause unnecessary wear on theknives and will produce undesirable results.

NOTICEOccasionally, you will find woods that defyall rules. In those rare cases, it is best tofeed the workpiece slowly and take severalshallow cuts. A few extra passes will hurtmuch less than a ruined workpiece.

-30- G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers

Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing is to make a flatface on a piece of stock to prepare it for planingon a thickness planer. See Figure 44.

4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚

5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), placeit so the concave side is face down on thesurface of the infeed table.

6. Start the jointer.

7. With a push block in each hand, press theworkpiece against the table and fence withfirm pressure.

8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead asshown in Figure 45. Note—When your lead-ing hand (with push block) gets within 4" ofthe cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter-head, and place the push block on the por-tion of the workpiece that is over the outfeedtable. At this point, focus your pressure onthe outfeed end of the workpiece while feed-ing, and repeat the same action with yourtrailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cut-terhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOTlet them get closer than 4" from the cutter-head when it is moving!

9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the entire surface isflat.

To surface plane on the jointer:

1. Make sure that you have read and under-stand all safety instructions in Section 1:Safety and that your stock has been inspect-ed for safe operation as described in the“Stock Inspection” instructions earlier in thissection.

2. Make sure your workpiece is within the mini-mum and maximum stock dimensions thatyour Grizzly 8" Jointer can safely process.(Check the data sheet in the back of thismanual for your particular model.)

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (Wesuggest 1⁄32" for surface planing, using amore shallow depth for harder wood speciesor for wider stock.)

NOTICEIf you are not experienced with a jointer, setthe depth of cut to 0", and practice feedingthe workpiece across the tables asdescribed below. This procedure will betterprepare you for the actual operation.

Figure 44. Illustration of surface planing effects.

Figure 45. Surface planing the face of a workpiece.

G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers -31-

Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin-ished, flat-edged surface that is suitable for join-ery or finishing. It is also a necessary step in thesquaring process of rough or warped stock. SeeFigure 46.

Figure 46. Illustration of edge jointing effects.

To edge joint on the jointer:



3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (Wesuggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for edge joint-ing, using a more shallow depth for harderwood species or for wider stock.)

4. Make sure the fence is set to 90˚.



7. Press the workpiece against the table andfence with firm pressure. Use your trailinghand to guide the workpiece through the cut.

8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead asshown in Figure 47. Note—If your leadinghand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it upand over the cutterhead, and place it on theportion of the workpiece that is over the out-feed table. At this point, focus your pressureon the outfeed end of the workpiece whilefeeding, and repeat the same action withyour trailing hand when it gets within 4" ofthe cutterhead. To keep your hands safe,DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from thecutterhead when it is moving!

9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the entire edge is flat.

Bevel Cutting

The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specificangle into the edge of a workpiece. See Figure48.

The Grizzly 8" Jointers have preset fence stops at45˚ to the left and 45˚ to the right. If your situationrequires a different angle, the preset fence stopscan be easily adjusted for your needs.

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (Wesuggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for bevel cut-ting, using a more shallow depth for harderwood species or for wider stock.)

4. Make sure your fence is set to the angle ofyour desired cut.



7. With a push block in your leading hand,press the workpiece against the table andfence with firm pressure.

8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead asshown in Figure 49. Note—If your leadinghand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it upand over the cutterhead, and place the pushblock on the portion of the workpiece that isover the outfeed table. At this point, focusyour pressure on the outfeed end of theworkpiece while feeding, and repeat thesame action with your trailing hand when itgets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keepyour hands safe, DO NOT let them get clos-er than 4" from the cutterhead when it ismoving!

9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the angled cut is sat-isfactory to your needs.

Rabbet Cutting

The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a sec-tion of the workpiece edge. When combined withanother rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints createa simple, yet strong method of joining stock. SeeFigure 50.

4. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (Wesuggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for rabbet cut-ting, using a more shallow depth for harderwood species or for wider stock.)

5. Make sure your fence is moved forward, sothe amount of infeed/outfeed table exposedis the same as the size of your rabbet. Also,make sure your fence is set to 90˚


7. With a push block in each hand, press theworkpiece against the table and fence withfirm pressure.

8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead asshown in Figure 51. Note—When your lead-ing hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, liftit up and over the cutterhead, and place thepush block on the portion of the workpiecethat is over the outfeed table. At this point,focus your pressure on the outfeed end ofthe workpiece while feeding, and repeat thesame action with your trailing hand when itgets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keepyour hands safe, DO NOT let them get clos-er than 4" from the cutterhead when it ismoving!

9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the your rabbet is cutto depth.

To rabbet cut on the jointer:

1. Make sure you have read and understand allsafety instructions in Section 1: Safety andthat your stock has been inspected for safeoperation as described in the “StockInspection” instructions earlier in this section.


3. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), itshould be straightened out before youattempt to make a rabbet cut.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power to themachine when perform-ing any adjustments ormaintenance. Failure todo this may result in seri-ous personal injury.

Regular periodic maintenance on your Grizzly 8"jointer will ensure its optimum performance.Make a habit of inspecting your jointer each timeyou use it. Check for the following conditions andrepair or replace when necessary.

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Damaged V-belt.

5. Any other condition that could hamper thesafe operation of this machine.

General

Lubrication

Since all bearings are shielded and permanentlylubricated, simply leave them alone until theyneed to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.Table ways and the fence assembly should notbe lubricated. If the tables appear to be stuck, dis-assemble and clean any foreign materials fromthe ways. Re-assemble and reset the gibs.

V-Belt

Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check theV-belt tension by squeezing them in the center. Ifyou can squeeze them more than 1⁄2" on bothsides, using moderate pressure, then they needto be tightened. Check pulleys to ensure that theyare properly aligned. To replace or adjust the V-belts, see Section 8: Service Adjustments.

Knife Condition

Using sharp knives is one of the most importantfactors involved with the operation of the jointer.A good maintenance procedure is to hone theknives to keep them in top shape. A knife honewill polish and finely sharpen jointer knives quick-ly and easily without removing them.

For damaged or extra dull knives, have themresharpened by a professional grinder. To avoiddowntime from resharpening, we recommendhaving an extra set of knives on hand.

Table

The table and other non-painted surfaces on yourGrizzly 8" Jointer should be protected against rustand pitting. Wiping the table clean after every useensures that moisture from wood dust does notremain on bare metal surfaces.

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-tions of products like SLIPIT® or Boeshield® T-9.For long term storage you may want to considerproducts like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

About Service

Setting Knives

The Grizzly 8" Jointers come with both jackscrews and springs to provide you with twooptions for cutterhead adjustments (see Figure52). Note—Only one of these options is neededto set the knives—see step 5* for clarification.

Figure 52. Cutterhead profile.

To set the knives:

1. Disconnect the jointer from the powersource!

2. Remove the cutterhead guard from the tableand lower the infeed and outfeed tables asfar as they go. This will give you unrestrictedaccess to the cutterhead.

3. Remove the belt guard to expose the cutter-head pulley.

4. Rotate the cutterhead pulley to give yougood access to one of the cutterhead knives.

5. Loosen the cutterhead gib bolts, starting inthe middle, and alternating back and forthuntil all of the gib bolts are loose, but notfalling out.

*Note—If this is the first time you are settingthe knives, remove the gib and knife from thecutterhead. Decide which adjustment optionyou are going to use between the jackscrews and the springs. If you decide to use

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

The knives on your Grizzly 8" Jointer should beset .051" (1.3MM)-.060" (1.5MM) higher than thecutterhead. The knife jig included with the jointeris designed to set the knives within this height.

Adjusting Gibs

the jack screws, remove the springs from thecutterhead. If you decide to use the springs,you can just thread the jack screws com-pletely into the cutterhead so they will not getlost. Replace the gib and knife.

6. Position the knife gauge over the knife asshown in Figure 53 and loosen the gib boltsuntil the knife is completely loose.

Figure 53. Jig placement on cutterhead.

Figure 54. Jack screw access hole.

Figure 55. Table gibs.

Springs—Push the knife down with the jig sothat the knife edge is touching the middlepad of the jig. Hold the jig down and tightenthe gib bolts just tight enough to hold theknife in place. Repeat steps 5-7 with the restof the knives.

8. Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife youstarted with. Slightly tighten all the gib bolts,starting at the ends and working your way tothe middle by alternating left and right.Repeat this step on the rest of the knives.

9. Repeat step 8.

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

7. Jack Screws—Using a 3MM allen wrench,find the jack screws through the accessholes in the cutterhead (Figure 54) androtate the jack screws to raise or lower theknife. When the knife is set correctly, it willbarely touch the middle pad of the knife set-ting jig. Snug the gib bolts tight enough tojust hold the knife in place. Repeat steps 5-7 with the rest of the knives.

The function of the table gibs (shown in Figure55) is to eliminate excessive play in the tablemovement. The gibs also control how easy it willbe to move the tables up and down.

To adjust the table gibs:

1. Loosen the table lock.

2. Loosen the lock nuts and setscrews shown inFigure 56 on the next page. Make sure yousupport the table as you loosen it to preventit from dropping to the end of its travel.

Adjusting V-Belts


In order for your jointer to perform at its best, youshould check (and adjust if necessary) the V-belttension and alignment.

To adjust the V-belt tension:


2. Remove the stand door to gain access to theV-belts.

3. Loosen the motor adjustment bolts shown inFigure 57.

4. Push down on the motor with one hand andtighten the motor adjustment bolts with theother hand.

5. Check the V-belt tension by squeezing themin the center, as shown in Figure 58. If youcan squeeze the V-belts more than 1⁄2" onboth sides, using moderate pressure, thenthey need to be tighter—repeat steps 3-5.

6. When the V-belt tension is correct, replacethe stand door.

Figure 56. Table gib lock nuts and setscrews.

5. Evenly tighten both gib setscrews a smallamount, then check the table by moving it upand down. Adjust the setscrews as neededuntil the friction of the table movement is bal-anced between minimal play and ease ofmovement. Note—Tighter gibs reduce playbut make it harder to adjust the tables.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 with the other table.

7. Adjust the table height of both tables beforeresuming with any operations.

Figure 59. Motor mount bolts(shown underneathstand for clarity).

To adjust the V-belt alignment:



3. Loosen the motor mount bolts shown inFigure 59.

4. Use a straightedge to align the motor andcutterhead pulleys.

5. Tighten the motor mount bolts. Note—Minoralignment changes can be made by loosen-ing the setscrew on the pulleys and adjustingthem on their shaft. Replace the stand door.

Replacing V-Belt

During the life of your jointer, you will need toreplace the V-belts when they become cracked ordamaged.

To replace the V-belts:



3. Loosen the motor adjustment bolts shown inFigure 60.

4. Move the motor up to loosen and remove theV-belts from the motor and cutterhead pul-leys.

5. Install the new V-belts on the motor and cut-terhead pulleys.

6. Adjust the V-belts to their proper tension.

7. Replace the stand door.
