Clean Up Site Considerations Unpainted surfaces may be coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this waxy oil with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. The machine will operate best when the waxy oil is removed from all moving and sliding parts. Chlorine-based cleaners and solvents will damage the painted surfaces of the machine.
Beginning Assembly This section will cover the basic assembly and adjustment instructions needed to begin operation. Complete the assembly in the order provided in this manual and then read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operation. Fence The fence assembly is a heavy part. Seek assistance when lifting it onto the fence base support.
Pedestal Switch To mount the pedestal switch: Attach the pedestal switch (Figure 13) to the back of the base with (4) M10-1.5 x 25 cap screws and (4) M10 flat washers. Pedestal Switch Figure 13. Attaching pedestal switch. Ultimate Series Jointers Dust Collection To attach dust collection hose to the dust port: Attach a 5" hose from your dust collection system to the dust port (Figure 14). Dust Port Figure 14. Dust collection hook-up.
NOTICE 3. The remaining instructions in this section cover factory settings which should already be adjusted correctly; however, we recommend checking the settings to be sure they were not bumped out of adjustment during the shipping process. If it is determined that a setting is out of correct adjustment, please refer to Section 8: Service Adjustments. Knife To Outfeed Table Alignment Position the knife setting gauge on the outfeed table so that it extends over the cutterhead (Figure 16).
Carbide Cutter To Outfeed Table Alignment 3. Position the edge of a straightedge on the outfeed table so that it extends over the cutterhead (Figure 18). (Models G9953ZX, G9953ZXF and G4815) Carbide cutter is at the highest point in its revolution and is just touching the straightedge. The outfeed table must be perfectly level with the carbide cutters. Note—You only need to verify the outfeed table height with one of the carbide cutters. To verify the factory setting: 1.
Infeed Table To Outfeed Table Alignment NOTICE Review the "Knife To Outfeed Table Alignment" and the "Carbide Cutter To Outfeed Table Alignment" sub-sections on the previous pages before continuing. 2. Loosen the infeed table height lock knob (page 10, #9). 3. Turn the infeed table height handwheel (page 10, #8) to raise the infeed table until it just touches the straightedge WITHOUT lifting it off the outfeed table. 4. Tighten the infeed table lock knob. 5.
Fence Stops Fence Face There is a 90˚ and a 45˚ fence stop designed to allow the fence to quickly and accurately be moved to the 90˚ and 45˚ position. Outfeed Table Fence Adjustment Handle Angle Setting Lock Handle Figure 23. Using a square to align fence. 90˚ Fence Stop To verify the 45˚ fence stop: 1. Loosen the angle setting lock handle (Figure 22) while holding the fence adjustment handle with your other hand. 2. Move the fence to the 45˚ position.
Start Up Serious personal injury could result if the machine is connected to the power source during assembly or adjustment. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before attempting to assemble or adjust the machine! 3. Push the ON button shown in Figure 25. Note—Make sure the cutterhead moves in a clockwise direction as viewed with the infeed table to the left.
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS Stock Inspection & Requirements Operation Safety Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section: Here are some rules to follow when choosing and cutting stock: To avoid serious personal injury, read and become familiar with the entire instruction manual before using the jointer. • DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains knots.
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. • • Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetically made materials. • Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before jointing.
Surface Planing The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (Figure 30) to prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest 1⁄32" for surface planing, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.) 4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚ 5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table. 6.
Edge Jointing The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (Figure 31) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step in the squaring process of rough or warped stock. Figure 31. Illustration of edge jointing results. 2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions beginning on page 23. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
Bevel Cutting 2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions beginning on page 23. 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 harder wood species or for wider stock.) 4. Make sure your fence is set to the angle of your desired cut. 5.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE Maintenance Safety Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section: Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.
Knives Lubrication (Model G9953 Only) Using sharp knives is one of the most important factors involved with the operation of the jointer. A good maintenance procedure is to hone the knives to keep them in top shape. A knife hone will polish and finely sharpen jointer knives quickly and easily without removing them. For damaged or extra dull knives, have them resharpened by a professional grinder. To avoid downtime from resharpening, we recommend having an extra set of knives on hand.

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS Adjustment Safety Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section: Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Outfeed Table To set the outfeed table: 1. Unplug the machine from the power source! 2. Open the access door on the back of the machine, just below the fence adjustments. 3.
Knives (Model G9953 Only) Tighten Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others. Note— The cutterhead knives should protrude above the cutterhead 2mm (0.079"). The knife jig included with the jointer is designed to set the knives within this height. To set the knives: 1. 2.
7. Position the knife setting gauge on the outfeed table so that it extends over the cutterhead as shown in Figure 36, and loosen the gib bolts until the knife is completely loose. Knife Setting Gauge Knife Edge At Highest Point Of Rotation Carbide Cutters (Models G9953ZX, G9953ZXF and G4815) The dot on each cutter is used as a reference point when determining which cutter edges are used, or dull, and which are sharp. Be sure to always rotate the cutters is the same direction as shown in Figure 37.
4. Sparingly oil the threads of the carbide cutter Torx® screws with a light machine oil. 5. Adjust the compressor air pressure to 30 PSI. Note—The low pressure (torque) setting will reduce the chance of cross threading the Torx® screw threads as well as seat the carbide cutters correctly. 6. Once all the Torx® screws have been seated, turn the compressor air pressure to 85 PSI. Further tighten the Torx® screws to their final torque setting of 48-50 Inch-Pounds.
2. Remove the two hex bolts and flat washers that secure the back eccentric cover behind the infeed table. Carefully remove the back eccentric cover and set it aside. 3. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, loosen the set screw located on the side of each eccentric (Figure 39). Straightedge Figure 14. X. Outfeed Table Eccentric Location. Figure 40. Straightedge positioning points. 6.
Fence Stops To set the 90˚ stop: 1. Place a square on the outfeed table fairly close to the cutterhead as shown in Figure 41. 3. Tighten the check nut on the stop bolt and tilt the fence back, then forward against the stop bolt. 4. Recheck with the square. Tightening the check nut will move the stop bolt slightly, so some trial-and-error may be necessary to perfect your settings.
Depth-Of-Cut Scale 7. Tighten the infeed table lock knob. 8. Loosen the depth-of-cut pointer screw and adjust the depth pointer to the “0” position as shown in Figure 45. The depth-of-cut scale indicates the amount of material that will be removed with each pass over the jointer. To set the depth-of-cut scale: 1. Unplug the machine from the power source! 2. Open the access door on the back of the machine, just below the fence adjustments. 3.
