Additional Safety for Jointers 1. 2. 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. 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 injuries. 3.
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 process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so. 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 connected to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and grounded.
SECTION 3: SET UP Set Up Safety This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before starting the machine! Wear safety glasses during the entire set up process!

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.
Moving & Placing Jointer The Model G0609 is an extremely heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed. To be safe, you will need assistance and power equipment when moving the shipping crate and removing 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.
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. The fence is heavy. Seek assistance when lifting it onto the jointer stand. Figure 8. Installing fence bracket. 2. Components and Hardware Needed: Qty Cap Screws M12-1.
Pedestal Switch 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 slightly, then tighten the set screws.
Knife Setting Jig �������� ������ Assemble the jig as shown in Figure 13. Figure 14. Cutterhead knife at top-dead center. When correctly set, the knife will barely touch the straightedge, as shown in Figure 15. Figure 13. Knife setting jig assembly. Checking Outfeed Table Height —If your outfeed table is correctly set, no adjustments are necessary. —If the knife lifts the straightedge off the table or it is below the straightedge, then the outfeed table must be re-set.
Dust Port Test Run Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly. DO NOT operate the Model G0609 without 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: ....

Inspecting Knives —The knives are set correctly when they just touch the bottom of the straightedge in each of the straightedge positions. The height of the knives can be inspected with a straightedge to ensure that they are set evenly with the outfeed table at their highest point in the cutterhead rotation. —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. Tools Needed Qty Straightedge ........................................
Knife Setting Jig Method: Both tables are lowered 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 highest point of rotation.
7. Adjusting the knife heights: 8. 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 straightedge or the knife setting jig middle pad. b. Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place. Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife you started with.
Checking/Adjusting Table Parallelism 4. If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or each other, then poor cutting results and kickback can occur. Tools Needed Qty Straightedge ...................................................... 1 Wrench 17mm ................................................... 1 Wrench 19mm ................................................... 1 Hex Wrench 5mm.............................................. 1 Hex Wrench 3mm..............................................
Checking Infeed Table Adjusting Table Parallelism To check the infeed 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. 1.
9. Eccentric Bushing Set Screw Location 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 Figure 52. Eccentric bushing and set screw location. 3.
5. Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it hangs over the cutterhead, and lower the outfeed table until the straightedge is 0.062" (1⁄16") above the cutterhead body, as determined by using the feeler gauges (see Figure 53). �������������� ������������ ������������� ������������ Figure 53. Using feeler gauges to set outfeed table height. 6.
Calibrating Depth Scale The depth scale on the infeed table can be calibrated or "zeroed" if it is not correct. Qty Tools Needed Straightedge ...................................................... 1 Phillips Screwdriver ........................................... 1 Wrench 17mm ................................................... 1 Hex Wrench 5mm..............................................
To set the 90˚ fence stop: To set the 45° outward fence stop: 1. 1. Lower the stop block against the fence, as shown in Figure 59, and loosen the fence tilt lock. Raise the stop block, loosen the fence tilt lock, and position the fence against the 45° outward positive stop bolt. —If the fence is not set at exactly 45˚ outward, loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ outward fence positive stop bolt (Figure 60). Stop Block Jam Nut Positive Stop Bolt Positive Stop Bolt Jam Nut Figure 59. Adjusting fence to 90˚.
V-Belts Pulley Alignment 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 provide optimum power transmission from the motor to the drum and feed belt. Pulley alignment is another important factor in power transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be parallel to each other and in the same plane (coplaner) for optimum performance.
4. Loosen the fasteners that hold the motor to the brackets shown in Figure 63. Fasteners 5. Shift the motor horizontally as needed to align the motor pulley with the cutterhead pulley. 6. Tighten the fasteners that hold the motor to the brackets. V-belts should be parallel and aligned as shown in Figure 62. 7. Adjust the pulleys again, if necessary, until they are coplanar (parallel and aligned) with each other. 8. Close the pulley cover. Figure 63.
