SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are 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.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Additional Safety Instructions For The Portable Planer 1. Ensure that the machine is firmly secured to a bench or table before use. 2. Always be aware of the condition of the wood you are planing. Pay particular attention to knots, splits, and other potential areas where the grain may be getting ready to separate. 3. Perform machine inspection and maintenance services regularly as described in Section 7: Maintenance. 4. Make sure the planer knives are sharp, balanced, and set correctly and securely.
SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION Read the manual before assembly and operation. Become familiar with the machine and its operation before beginning any work. Serious personal injury may result if safety or operational information is not understood or followed. Grizzly Industrial, Inc. is proud to offer the Model G0505 121⁄2" Portable Planer. This planer is a part of Grizzly’s growing family of fine machinery.
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 110V Operation The Model G0505 motor is designed to operate at 110V and includes a 110V plug. Under normal 110V use, the motor draws approximately 10 amps. We recommend that you use a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow-blow fuse with your machine. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor. Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.
SECTION 4: IDENTIFICATION Controls & Features A E To help you understand the set up and operation instructions, become familiar with the basic features of your new planer. Please match up the list below with the letters in Figures 1 and 2 to identify the planer controls and features. A. Return Rollers B. ON/OFF Switch B C C. Reset Button D D. Depth Indicator E.

SECTION 5: SET UP Unpacking Piece Inventory The Model G0505 is shipped from the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If you discover the machine is damaged after you have signed for delivery, and the truck and driver are gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the container and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult.

Clean Up The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlorinebased solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact.
Mounting to Bench The planer can be directly mounted to a bench or table top, or to a Shop Fox® Deluxe Tool Table for increased stability during planing. Handle Assembly To attach the handle assembly: 1. Align the flat portion inside the handle bore with the flat portion on the shaft. 2. Insert the handle assembly on the shaft that protrudes out of the top of the planer (see Figure 4). 3. Thread the M5-.8 x 20mm cap screw through the handle and into the shaft to secure the handle in place.
Chip Deflector Test Run For your safety and for the proper operation of the machine, ensure that the chip deflector is secured before operation. The chip deflector directs wood chips away from the cutterhead during operation, and it covers the cutterhead and feed rollers for operator safety. Once assembly is complete, you are ready to test run the machine. To secure the chip deflector: 1. 2. Align the chip deflector with the two studs mounted at the exit side of the planer.
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS ON/OFF Switch Projectiles thrown from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses during operations. Loose clothing or long hair may get caught in moving parts. Keep clothing secured and long hair pulled back. The ON/OFF switch is located on the front of the planer. See Figure 6. The switch has a key that, when removed, allows it to be locked in the OFF position. To access the locking feature, push the switch to the OFF position and pull the switch key out.
Depth Of Cut The planing depth is controlled by the crank handle on top of the planer. Turning the handle clockwise raises the cutterhead and turning it counterclockwise lowers the cutterhead. See Figure 7. Depth-of-cut is read directly from the inch/millimeter scale located on the top, right-hand side of the planer. One complete turn of the handle raises or lowers the cutterhead approximately 5⁄64'' (2mm). The range of material thickness that can be planed is 3⁄16'' - 6'' (5mm - 152mm).
Wood Types Wood Characteristics The species of wood, as well as its condition, has a dramatic effect on the depth of cut the planer can effectively take with each pass. The harder the wood (as illustrated by its shear strength), the shallower the depth of cut should be. Below is a list of wood characteristics you may encounter when planing. The following descriptions of defects will give you some possible answers to problems you may encounter while planing different materials.
Wavy Surface Problem—Caused by poor knife height adjustment, wavy surface appears when one knife is taking deeper cuts than the rest of the knives. Solution—Reset knife height with the gauge. Pitch & Glue Build-up Problem—Glue and resin build-up on the rollers and cutterhead will cause overheating by decreasing cutting sharpness while increasing drag in the feed mechanism. The result can include scorched lumber as well as uneven knife marks and chatter. Solution—Clean the rollers and cutterhead.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE ! Knife Sharpening Disconnect power from the machine when performing any maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. General Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G0505 Planer will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your planer each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary: • Loose mounting bolts, extension wings, or handles, or excessive play in the depth-of-cut adjustment.
Motor Belt Keep the motor as clean as possible. Prevent any water, oil or wood chips from penetrating inside the motor. Be sure to clean the machine after every use. The cutterhead is driven by a belt that is located on the right-hand side of the motor and cutterhead assembly (when facing the front of the machine). The belt is very durable, however eventually it may require replacement.
Feed Rollers The feed rollers rotate in bushing blocks that are spring loaded. The feed rollers ride up on the board so that the roller pressure is maintained. If chips or sawdust build up between the bracket and bushing block, the amount of roller vertical travel will be reduced. See Figure 12. 5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the other feed roller. 6. Replace the sides, cover and elevation handle.
SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS ! Knife Setting Disconnect power from the machine when performing any service adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Extension Wings Your planer is equipped with front and rear extension wings. Each wing folds up for machine mobility and folds down for machine operation. To check the alignment, lay a straightedge across the bed and both wings. See Figure 14. The Model G0505 is equipped with a 2 blade cutterhead.
To install and adjust the knives: 1. 4. While holding the knife setting gauge with one hand so it sits firmly on the cutterhead, turn the gib bolts counterclockwise with the other hand. Tighten the seven bolts until they begin to contact the side of the groove. Then tighten further, starting with the bolts at the center and working toward the outer bolts. Once all the bolts are tight enough to hold the knife in position, remove the gauge. 5. Repeat steps 1-5 above to set the second knife. 6.
