SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Machine The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts. HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material.
Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving components! Flying chips from cutting operations can cause blindness or eye injuries. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead (kickback) can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below. KICKBACK.

Clean Up The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Citrus Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts must be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces.
Assembly To assemble the jointer: 1. Carefully lay the stand on its side so you can access the underside. 2. Bolt the wheel assembly to the stand with the provided hardware, as shown in Figure 7. 5. With the help of an assistant, lift the jointer onto the stand. 6. Align the mounting holes on the jointer and stand. 7. Secure the jointer to the stand with the M8-1.25 x 50 cap screws, washers, and hex nuts, as shown in Figure 8.
9. Slide the motor upward, and place the V-belt around the cutterhead pulley and the motor pulley. 13. Shift the motor horizontally as needed to align the motor pulley with the cutterhead pulley, then replace the V-belt. 10. Slide the motor down to rest on the V-belt. 14. Tighten the motor mount fasteners. 11. Place a straightedge against both pulleys (Figure 10) and check the alignment of the two pulleys to make sure that they are aligned and that the V-belt is straight up and down (see Figure 11).
19. Using a 2.5mm hex wrench, thread the set screw through the hole in the forked end of the cutterhead guard shaft (Figure 14). Note: Thread the set screw far enough to prevent the guard from being pulled out. Figure 15. Attaching pedestal switch to stand. 24. Thread the excess switch cord through the access hole in the stand and connect it to the motor cord. Figure 14. Example of installing cutterhead guard set screw. 25.
Dust Collection DO NOT operate the Model G0656 without an adequate dust collection system. This jointer creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness. Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector.
Recommended Adjustments —If your outfeed table is correctly set, no adjustments are necessary. —If the knife lifts the straightedge off the table or the table is below the straightedge, adjust the outfeed table height with the handwheel until the straightedge just touches a knife at its highest point of rotation. 5. Lock the outfeed table, reinstall the cutterhead guard, and close the rear access panel. Test Run Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Safety Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection when operating this machine. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving machinery.
Since the workpiece is held firmly against the fence as it passes over the cutterhead, the fence controls the angle of the cut. The jointer fence can be moved 45° in either direction from square and locked in place anywhere within this range. The jointer fence also features stops that allow it to be quickly set at 45°, 90°, and 125°. Fence Movement: The fence has a lock that keeps it in position (Figure 22).
Stock Inspection & Requirements Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock: • DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains large or loose knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the workpiece can occur if a knot becomes 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.
Squaring Stock Surface Planing Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the order below: The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 26 & 27). This is a necessary step when preparing a workpiece to be run through a planer when squaring stock. 1. Surface Plane On The Jointer—The concave face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer.
To surface plane on the jointer: 1. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY, beginning on Page 6. 2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 21. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest 1⁄32" for surface planing, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.) 4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚. 5.
To edge joint on the jointer: 1. 2. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY, beginning on Page 6. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 21. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for edge jointing, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.) 4. Make sure the fence is set to 90˚. 5.
To bevel cut on the jointer: 1. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY, beginning on Page 6. 2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 21. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for bevel cutting, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.) 4. Make sure your fence is set to the angle of your desired cut. 5.
To rabbet cut on the jointer: 1. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY, beginning on Page 6. 2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 21. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
