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 Jointers 1. 2. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed it over the cutterhead. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT JOINT IT! MAINTAIN PROPER RELATIONSHIPS of infeed and outfeed table surfaces and cutterhead knife path. 3. ALWAYS USE A PUSH BLOCK when jointing. Never place your hands directly over the cutterhead. 4.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 110V Operation The Model H2801 is wired for 110V operation. The motor will safely draw 5 amps at 110V. If you operate this machine on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist and the circuit still trips, contact a qualified electrician or our service department. A 10 amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when fusing this jointer.
SECTION 3: GENERAL INFORMATION Commentary Grizzly Industrial, Inc. is proud to offer the Model H2801 4" Jointer. This jointer is part of Grizzly’s growing family of fine woodworking and metalworking machinery. When used according to the guidelines stated in this manual, you can expect years of trouble-free, enjoyable operation. The Model H2801 offers a 1⁄2 H.P., 110V, 8000 R.P.M. motor, a 2 knife cutterhead, and a 45˚ tilting fence. We are also pleased to provide this manual with the Model H2801.
Unpacking Piece Inventory The jointer and hardware (shown in Figure 2) are 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 containers 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 may be 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. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.
SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY Beginning Assembly Trunnions Most of your Model H2801 4" Jointer has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order presented in this section. The plunger trunnion and the scale trunnion need to be attached to the rear of the fence. To attach the trunnions: Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back. 1.
Fence To attach the fence to the jointer table: 1. Mount the fence assembly as shown in Figure 4 with the four M5-.8 x 10 cap screws and lock washers. 2. Verify that the fence is secure. Figure 4. Attaching fence to jointer. Mounting Jointer The Model H2801 weighs approximately 22 lbs. Make sure that the workbench on which you plan to mount the jointer is sturdy enough to hold the combined weight of the machine and the wood stock being processed.
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back. Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Figure 6. Straightedge across outfeed table. Wear safety glasses during the entire adjustment process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
Fence The fence on the Model H2801 can be adjusted to cut various angles from -45˚ to 45˚. The fence can be tilted -45˚ toward the cutterhead for better stability with narrow workpieces, or the fence can be tilted to 45˚ away from the cutterhead for cutting large angles. To adjust the fence angle: 1. Loosen the lock knobs on both sides of the fence. 2. The angle gauge shown in Figure 8 is behind the left end of the fence. 3.
Knife Adjustment To ensure accurate cutting, the knives must be .003" higher than the outfeed table at the highest point. To check or adjust the knife height: Figure 10. Cutterhead guard. 1. Unplug the power from the machine! 2. Block the cutterhead guard from closing with a scrap piece of wood between the fence and the cutterhead guard, or remove the cutterhead guard. 3. Rotate the cutterhead so that one of the knives is at the highest position. 4.
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back. Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Wear safety glasses during all operations on the jointer. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury. Always wear a dust mask when operating the jointer. Using this machine produces sawdust which may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.
Lock-Out Switch To ensure the safety of your work place, a lock out switch has been provided with the Model H2801. To use the lock-out feature, simply pull the lock-out key when the switch is in the OFF position, as shown in Figure 12. When jointing, always cut with the grain rather than against it. Cutting against the grain (going against the pattern of the wood growth rings) chips the wood instead of cutting it, making the workpiece rough and irregular.
Push Blocks To feed the workpiece: 1. 2. 3. 4. Hold the board firmly down on the infeed table and against the fence. Use push blocks if you are surface planing or your situation requires it. Feed the board toward/over the cutterhead at a consistent and even rate of speed. Do not force the board into the cut. Also, any hesitation or stopping could cause uneven cuts or cutting inconsistencies on your workpiece. Use a hand-over-hand action to “walk” the workpiece over the cutterhead.
Dust Collection Surface Planing Any standard dust collection hose can be attached to the 21⁄2" dust dust port (Figure 15) on the back of the Model H2801. To attach a dust collecting system: The purpose of planing on a jointer is to produce one flat surface. Once you have one flat surface on a board, it can then more readily be milled to precise, final dimensions on a thickness planer.
Edge Joining Beveling The purpose of edge joining is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface that is suitable for joinery or finishing. Edge joining is also a necessary step prior to ripping stock to width on a table saw or radial arm saw. Beveling an edge is essentially the same operation as edge joining, except that the fence is tilted to a specified angle. Use extra care to ensure that the edge makes solid contact with the infeed and outfeed tables at all times. 1.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE Lubrication Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. General Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them. Table ways and the fence assembly should not be lubricated. If the tables appear to be stuck, disassemble and clean any foreign materials from the ways.
Replacing Knives To replace the cutterhead knives: 1. Unplug the power from the jointer! 2. Block the cutterhead guard so it stays open, or remove the cutterhead guard. Lift the knife and knife clamp from the cutterhead and clean any sawdust and resin buildup from the cutterhead and knife clamp. 3. Position the knife clamp against the replacement knife and install the assembly in the cutterhead. 4. Secure the knife and knife clamp with the three knife clamp screws.
