Checking Outfeed Table Alignment To adjust the height of the cutterhead knives: 1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE POWER SOURCE! 2. Block the cutterhead guard back so the cutterhead is fully exposed. 3. To check the outfeed table alignment: Locate the knife clamp screws and knife adjustment jack screws (see Figures 17 & 18). 1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE POWER SOURCE! Note: You will perform the procedure in Steps 1-8 for each of the two knives.
5. Loosen the two jack screws, then, using a scrap wood block, push the knife blade down until both ends are sightly below the straightedge. 6. Using the 4mm hex wrench, turn each jack screw clockwise 1/8 of a turn at a time until each end of the knife touches the straightedge evenly. 7. Rotate the cutterhead without disturbing the knife clamp to check the knife height. —If the knife moves the straight edge slightly (1/8") forward and back on the table, the knife height is set correctly.
2. Slip the bag clamp over the collection bag, then attach the collection bag to the chute and clamp it as shown in Figure 20. Bag Clamp 2. Make sure the cutterhead guard fully covers the cutterhead. 3. Make sure all tools and foreign objects have been removed from the machine. 4. Review SECTIONS 1 and 2 (SAFETY and CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS) on Pages 58 and connect your machine to the power source. 5. Turn the jointer ON. —The jointer should run smoothly with little or no vibration.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Basic Parts and Controls 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. This section covers the basic parts and controls used during routine operations. Refer to Figures 21 and 22 for basic parts and control locations.
F. J I K Figure 22. G0612 parts and controls (back view). I. Fence Bracket Assembly J. Fence Tilting Handle K. Fence Sliding Handle A. Outfeed Table: Supports the workpiece after it passes over the cutterhead. B. Cutterhead Guard: Shields the cutterhead to increase operator safety during operation. The cutterhead guard is under spring tension; it will always (unless blocked) snap forward to hit the fence. DO NOT operate the jointer if the guard is not functioning properly. C.
Fence Angle Stops You can quickly set the fence angle at 90º (perpendicular to the tables), 45º inward, and 45º outward. This section provides instructions for setting the fence stops precisely at these angles. Before making these adjustments, take a moment to identify the various stop parts of the fence bracket assembly (see Figure 23). Limit Block Forward Tab 1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE POWER SOURCE! 2.
6. 7. 8. 9. Loosen the fence tilting handle, bring the fence to 90º with the machinist's square set against the fence, then tighten the handle. —If the fence leans 45º towards the table, the inward 45º stop is set correctly; move ahead to set the outward 45º stop. Note: Keep the limit plate tab in the rear slot of the limit block. —If the fence does not lean 45º towards the table, adjust the inward 45º stop by doing Steps 5-9. Loosen the jam nut (located at the rear of the limit block shaft). 5.
8. Use two 8mm wrenches to tighten the hex nut on the inward stop as you hold the stop in place. 9. Put the limit block back, bring the fence back to 90º and tighten the tilting handle. 5. With the outward stop bolt resting against the fence bracket, use an 8mm wrench to adjust the length of the stop until the fence is at 45º, then tighten the jam nut (see Figure 28). To set the outward 45º stop: 1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE POWER SOURCE! 2.
Stock Inspection and Requirements • 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. Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock: • Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetically made materials.
Squaring Stock 3. Edge Joint 0n the Jointer—The concave edge of the workpiece is jointed flat with the jointer. Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the order below: 1. Surface Plane on the Jointer—The concave face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer. 4. Rip Cut on a Table Saw—The jointed edge of the workpiece is placed against a table saw fence and the opposite edge cut off. Previously Jointed Edge 2.
Surface Planing The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on the workpiece (see Figures 32 & 33) 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 zero and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation. To surface plane on the jointer: 1. Read and SAFETY. 2.
Edge Jointing The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (see Figure 34) suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock. To edge joint on the jointer: 1. Read and SAFETY. 2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection instructions. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
Bevel Cutting The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut the edge of a workpiece at a specific angle (see Figure 37). The Model G0612 has fence stops you can set at 90˚, 45˚ inward, and 45˚ outward (135˚). If your situation requires a different angle, the fence can be locked anywhere between these angles. NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to zero, and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below.

Adjusting/Replacing Belts 6. Your G0612 uses belts to drive both the cutterhead and the dust collection fan. When these belts are not tensioned correctly, misaligned, or damaged your jointer will not function properly. Loosen the four motor mounting cap screws(see Figure 46), but do not remove them. Motor Mount Screws This sub-section describes how to service these belts.You can order replacement belts from Grizzly.
Replacing Motor Brushes Your jointer has a single phase universal motor that uses carbon brushes. Under normal operation these brushes wear out. Refer to the troubleshooting guide to determine if the motor brushes must be replaced. Note: When you remove the brush caps a spring will pop out of the socket; the carbon brush is firmly attached to this spring. When you buy a new brush kit you will get a pair of brush/spring assemblies. 6. Check the brushes for wear.
