damaged if pushed beyond these limits.

presents significant safety hazards to

untrained users. Read/understand this entire

manual before starting the planer.

•

Maximum Depth of Cut <5" Wide .....³⁄32"

Maximum Depth of Cut >5" Wide .....¹⁄32"

Minimum Board Length....................9½"

2. REACHING INSIDE PLANER. Never reach

inside planer or remove cover when the

planer is connected to power.

Minimum Board Thickness ................¹⁄8

Maximum # of Boards at One Time..... 1

3. INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed

roller is designed to pull material into the

cutterhead. Always keep hands, clothing,

and long hair away from the infeed roller dur-

ing operation to prevent being pulled in.

9. CLEAN STOCK. Planing stock with nails,

staples, or loose knots MAY cause debris

to kick out at the operator and WILL dam-

age your cutters when they contact the

cutterhead. Always thoroughly inspect and

prepare stock to avoid these hazards.

4. BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING. The

workpiece may kick out during operation.

To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the

planer during the entire operation.

10. REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES. To

avoid serious injury, always stop the plan-

er and disconnect power before removing

jammed workpieces.

5. PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only

plane natural wood stock with this planer.

DO NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates,

metal, stone, plastic, drywall, backerboard,

or synthetic products.

11. DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES. The planer may

kick out a workpiece at the operator or give

poor finish results if it is operated with dull or

damaged knives.

6. GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the

grain is hard on the planer and may cause

the workpiece to kick out. Always plane in

the same direction or at a slight angle with

the wood grain.

12. UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS.

When connected to power, the planer can

be accidentally turned ON. Always discon-

nect power when servicing or adjusting the

components of the planer.

7. LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips

fly around inside the planer at a high rate

of speed. DO NOT look inside the planer or

remove guards/covers during operation.

13. WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Always verify

workpiece has enough room to exit the plan-

er before starting.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always

consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and

other machinery with caution and respect.

Failure to do so could result in serious per-

sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor

work results.

Like all machinery there is potential danger

when operating this machine. Accidents are

frequently caused by lack of familiarity or

failure to pay attention. Use this machine

with respect and caution to lessen the pos-

sibility of operator injury. If normal safety

precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-

ous personal injury may occur.

Clean Up

Site Considerations

The unpainted surfaces (including the knife and

cutterhead) are coated with a waxy oil to pre-

vent corrosion during shipment. Remove this

protective coating with a solvent cleaner or cit-

rus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895

Degreaser. For thorough cleaning, some parts

must be removed. For optimum performance

from your machine, clean all moving parts or

sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based

solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner

that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow

the manufacturer’s instructions when using any

type of cleaning product.

Workbench Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight

and footprint specifications of your machine.

Some workbenches may require additional rein-

forcement to support both the machine and the

workpiece.

Placement Location

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of

material to be processed through each machine,

and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or

other machinery when establishing a location for

your new machine. See Figure 4 for the minimum

working clearances.

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

points and can explode

or cause fire if used to

clean machinery. DO

NOT use these products

to clean the machinery.

Many cleaning solvents

are toxic if inhaled.

Minimize your risk by only

using these products in a

well ventilated area.

G7895—Grizzly Citrus Degreaser

This natural, citrus-based degreaser is a great

solution for removing export grease, and it’s much

safer to work around than nasty solvents.

Children and visitors may be

seriously injured if unsuper-

vised around this machine.

Lock entrances to the shop

or disable start switch or

power connection to prevent

Mounting

Dust Collection

Use of a portable dust collector will greatly

reduce the amount of wood chips and saw dust

in the work area. In addition, dust collectors help

extract wood chips and dust from the cutterhead

area. This lessens the potential for damaging the

workpiece or the planer when wood chips become

caught between the knife and the workpiece dur-

ing the planing process.

Once you have confirmed that your machine is

running properly, mount it to a workbench through

the holes in the base.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through

Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through

the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex

nuts are used to secure the drill press to the

workbench.

Dust collectors can be found in the Grizzly

catalog or website and attachments suited spe-

cifically to the Model G0663 Planer are shown in

Accessories, Page 19.

��

Figure 7. Example of a through mount setup.

Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount"

where the machine is simply secured to the work-

bench with a lag screw.

Depth-of-cut is read directly from the inch/mil-

limeter scale located on the left-hand side of the

planer. One complete turn of the handle raises or

lowers the cutterhead approximately ¹⁄16''.

Functional Overview

The Model G0663 Planer allows the user to

plane material from the surface of boards in

precise increments which are determined by the

depth of cut. The depth of cut is adjusted with

the cutterhead elevation handle. One turn of the

handle is equal to ¹⁄16".

The maximum depth-of-cut varies according to

the hardness of the wood and how wide of a

board is passed under the cutterhead. Generally,

we recommend a maximum depth of no more

than ¹⁄32" on boards over 5" wide and no more than

³⁄32"on boards under 5" wide. A series of light cuts

will give a better end result than trying to take off

too much material in a single pass, plus there will

be less strain on the motor.

Once the depth of cut is adjusted, the board is

fed into the infeed roller which pulls the board

into the cutterhead, where material is removed.

The outfeed roller then pulls the board away from

the cutterhead. After the board is completely free

from the outfeed roller, it can be returned to the

infeed side of the machine. Larger workpieces

can be passed across the return roller located on

top of the machine.

Basic Operations

To use the planer:

The depth of cut is again adjusted, and the pro-

cess is continued until the desired board thick-

ness is reached.

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Unless your workpiece is very flat, surface

plane the workpiece on a jointer until one side

is flat—having the face flat will ensure that it

sits flat on the planer table during operation.

Depth Of Cut

3. Place your workpiece on the infeed table and

lower the cutterhead case until the depth

bar just touches the workpiece, as shown in

Figure 10.

The planing depth is controlled by the cutterhead

elevation handle on top of the planer. Turning the

handle clockwise raises the cutterhead and turn-

ing it counterclockwise lowers the cutterhead (see

Figure 11).

Note: Any time you switch directions with the

cutterhead elevation handle, there will be a

small amount of backlash—so the first crank

Inspect your lumber for twisting or cupping,

and surface one face on a jointer if neces-

sary.

be slightly less than ⁄16". However, as long

as you move the handle in the same direc-

tion during operation, backlash will not be a

factor.

•

Scrape off all glue when planing glued-up

panels.

4. Turn the elevation handle ¼ turn clockwise to

time.

will set the depth of cut to ⁄32". Remove the

workpiece from the planer.

Never remove more than the recommended

amount of material on each pass. Remove

less material on each pass when planing

wide or dense stock.

5. Turn the planer ON.

6. With the flat side of the board down on the

table, feed the workpiece into the front of the

planer, making sure not to stand directly in

front or behind the workpiece to reduce the

risk of a kickback injury.

•

Support the workpiece on both ends. Get

assistance if you are planing long lumber, or

use roller stands to support the workpiece.

—If the cut is too deep and bogs down the

planer, turn the planer OFF immediately,

allow it to come to a complete stop, raise

the cutterhead, remove the workpiece,

reduce the depth of cut, then repeat Step

•

Measure the workpiece thickness with cali-

pers to get exact results.

•

Carefully inspect all stock to make sure it is

free of large knots or foreign objects that may

damage your knives, cause kickback or eject

from the planer.

Note: The infeed and outfeed rollers will

control the feed rate of the workpiece as it

passes through the planer. Do not push or

pull on the workpiece.

•

When possible, plane equal amounts on

each side of the board to reduce the chance

of twisting or cupping.

7. Once the workpiece is clear of the outfeed

roller, measure the workpiece thickness. If fur-

ther planing is needed, lower the cutterhead

by turning the elevation handle ½ turn (¹⁄32"),

return the workpiece to the infeed table, then

continue.

•

Use the entire width of the planer to wear

knives evenly.

Always plane WITH the grain direction of the

wood. Never plain cross-grain or end-grain.

8. Continue this process until the desired

thickness is reached. The depth of cut indi-

cator scale shows the approximate thickness

of the workpiece after it has been cut. Use

this indicator to judge when the thickness

is approximately correct. For more precise

applications, use a caliper to measure the

workpiece thickness.

Pitch & Glue Build-up

Wood Characteristics

Problem: Glue and resin buildup 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 chat-

ter.

Below is a list of wood characteristics you may

encounter when planing. The following descrip-

tions of defects will give you some possible

answers to problems you may encounter while

planing different materials. Possible solutions fol-

low the descriptions.

Solution: Clean the rollers and cutterhead.

Chip Marks or Indentations

Chipped Grain

Problem: Chip indentation or chip bruising is the

result of wood chips not being thrown away from

the cutterhead and out of the machine. Instead

they are carried around the cutterhead, deposited

on the planed surface and crushed by the outfeed

roller. Chip indentations can be caused by a num-

ber of reasons, some of which are:

Problem: Usually a result of cutting against the

grain, planing lumber with knots or excessive

amount of cross grain, or using dull knives.

Solution: Decrease depth of cuts. Inspect your

lumber and determine if its grain pattern is caus-

ing the problem. If the lumber does not show sub-

stantial crossgrain, replace your knives.

•

The type of lumber being planed. Certain

species have a tendency to chip bruise.

Fuzzy Grain

Problem: Usually caused by surfacing lumber with

too high of a moisture content. Sometimes fuzzy

grain is an unavoidable characteristic of some

woods, such as basswood. Fuzzy grain can also

be caused by dull knives.

A high moisture content (over 15%) or

surface moisture. Typically found in air-

dried stock where the surface is dry but

the inside needs a longer time to sea-

son.

Solution: Check the lumber with a moisture meter.

If moisture is greater than 20%, sticker the lumber

and allow it to dry. Otherwise, inspect the knife

condition.

•

Dull knives.

Too much material being removed in one

pass.

Solution:

Snipe

Problem: Occurs when board ends have more

material removed than the rest of the board.

Usually caused when the workpiece is not prop-

erly supported as it goes through the machine. In

many cases, however, a small amount of snipe is

inevitable.

•

Lumber must be completely dry, prefer-

ably kiln-dried (KD). Air-dried (AD) lum-

ber must be seasoned properly and have

no surface moisture. DO NOT surface

partially-air-dried (PAD) lumber.

•

Make sure planer knives are sharp.

Reduce depth of cut.

Solution: The best way to deal with snipe is by

planing lumber longer than your intended work

length and then cutting off the excess after plan-

ing is completed.

displayed in Figure 13.

Wood Types

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.

to the machine before

performing maintenance.

Failure to do this may

result in serious person-

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

al injury.

the bed and both wings (see Figure 18).

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, fol-

low this maintenance schedule:

Daily

•

Check/correct loose hardware.

Check/correct worn or damaged wires.

Correct any other unsafe condition.

Adjustment Bolt and Lock Nut

Figure 18. Aligning extension wings.

If adjustment is necessary, proceed as fol-

lows:

Every Ten Hours of Service

•

Lubricate chains and gears, (Page 24).

1. Loosen the lock nuts and adjustment bolts

underneath each extension wing.

Monthly

2. Hold a straightedge across the bed and both

wings, and turn the adjustment bolts so the

wings and the table are on the same plane.

•

Check for belt tension, damage, or wear.

•

Remove cutterhead guard and thoroughly

clean all built-up sawdust from the cutterhead

area.

3. Without turning the adjustment bolts, tighten

the lock nuts. Recheck to ensure consistency

from side-to-side.

Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and

wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If

resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner

to remove it.

3. Wearing gloves, carefully turn the cutterhead

towards you until the safety latch engages

and the cutterhead no longer turns (Figure

20).

Knife Replacement

Safety Latch

The cutterhead knives on the Model G0663

are extremely sharp. Brushing your finger

along the edge can result in a severe cut. Take

extreme caution when doing any of the adjust-

ments involving the cutterhead knives. Wear

thick gloves anytime it is necessary to manu-

ally rotate the cutterhead assembly.

Cutterhead

Gib

The condition of the knives on the Model G0663

Planer will affect the precision of the cut. During

operation, watch for the following signs of dulled

knives.

Figure 20. Exposed cutterhead.

•

Raised grain occurring as a result of dull

knives hammering at the surface of the

wood.

4. Remove the six button head cap screws from

the gib.

5. Use the included magnets, as shown in

Figure 21, to first remove the gib, then the

knife.

A "fuzzy" appearance on the surface of the

wood as a result of dull knives tearing, rather

than cutting the wood fibers.

Grooves as a result of nicks along the knife

edge.

Magnets

If any of these signs become apparent during use,

the knives must be reversed or replaced. Do not

attempt to sharpen the knives.

To remove the knives:

1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!

Knife

2. Remove the cap screws from the knife

guard, then remove the guard (Figure 19).

Figure 21. Knife removal.

Knife Guard

6. Depress the safety latch, then carefully rotate

the cutterhead towards you approximately ¼

turn. Release the safety latch and continue

rotating the cutterhead until the second knife

is exposed and the safety latch again engag-

es.

7. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the second knife.

Before re-installing the knives, the cutterhead,

gib and knife must be inspected. Neglecting to

inspect these components may result in damage

to the planer.

To install the knives:

1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!

2. Using the magnets, position the knife over

the two pins on the cutterhead. Be sure the

knife is oriented with the beveled edge up, as

shown in Figure 22.

To inspect the cutterhead, gib, and knives:

1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!

2. Carefully clean the cutterhead with a rag and

Beveled Edge Up

inspect the following:

•

Make sure the threaded screw holes do

not contain wood material or sawdust.

Make sure that the hex socket and the

threads of all hex screws are in good

condition. Replace if questionable.

•

Make sure any resin or glue buildup

on the cutterhead, gib, and knives is

removed so the knife and gib will sit flat

on the cutterhead.

Pins

Figure 22. Knife installation.

Make sure the knives are free of cracks.

If any cracks exist, replace both knives.

3. Using the magnets, replace the gib over the

knife. Secure the gib with the six screws in

the locations shown in Figure 23.

To maintain accurate and consistent planing

results, we do not recommend sharpening the

knives. Instead, replace the knives when they

get dull.

The knives on the Model G0663 Planer are revers-

ible and should always be reversed or replaced as

a matched set. To avoid downtime, we recom-

mend having an extra set of knives for your planer

(Model T20413 in the Grizzly catalog or website).

Once the cutterhead, gib, and knives have been

inspected and prepared, install the knives.

Figure 23. Gib installation.

4. Depress the safety latch, then carefully rotate

the cutterhead towards you approximately ¼

turn. Release the safety latch and continue

rotating the cutterhead until the second knife

slot is exposed and the safety latch again

engages.

5. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the second knife,

then replace the knife guard.

Motor

Belt

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, but with extended use

may begin to slip, indicating the need for replace-

ment.

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 bearings inside the motor are shielded and

lubricated for the life of the bearing and require no

routine maintenance.

To replace the belt:

1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!

This motor is equipped with long life carbon

brushes. However, brush life expectancy is affect-

ed by motor loading. Planing very wide, dense

boards or cutting too deep will reduce brush life.

Check brushes after every ten to fifteen hours of

operation (Figure 24).

2. Remove the elevation handle and the two

button head cap screws on the right-side top

plate. Remove the top plate, then pull the

right side cover off.

3. Remove the belt guard shown in Figure 25

by removing the cap screw that secures it.

Figure 24. Brush holder location (another brush

is located on the other side of the motor from the

one shown in this picture).

Figure 25. Cutterhead drive components.

4. Loosen the motor mount bolt, shown in

Figure 25, to release tension on the belt.

When the brushes are worn down to ¹⁄4'' (6mm), it

is time for replacement. When checking brushes,

be sure to return each brush in the same position

that it came from. When replacing old brushes, be

sure to replace both brushes at the same time.

5. Remove the belt.

6. Place the new belt over both pulleys. Lift the

motor by hand using moderate force to apply

tension to the belt, then tighten the motor

mount bolt.

7. Replace the belt guard, side cover, top plate,

button head cap screws, and cutterhead

elevation handle.

4. Remove any trapped material from between

Feed Rollers

the roller assembly and bracket.

5. Raise the cutterhead assembly and remove

the block of wood.

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, potentially causing improp-

er feeding of lumber through the machine (Figure

26).

6. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the other feed roller.

7. Replace the sides, top plates, and elevation

handle.

Lubrication

There are two primary points that require peri-

odic lubrication—the head elevation screws and

the feed roller chain drive. Access for lubrication

requires removing the cover and sides of the

machine first (Figure 27).

Bracket

Bushing

Block

Elevation Screw

Chain

Remove trapped sawdust from between

the bushing block and the bracket.

Figure 26. Location of potential trapped sawdust.

Periodically check and clean chips and sawdust

from between the bushing blocks and brackets.

Remove the elevation handle, the top covers, and

the sides. This provides easy access to depress

the rollers so that chips and sawdust can be easily

removed.

Elevation Screw

Figure 27. Lubrication points of chain

and elevation screws.

To clean the feed rollers:

The elevation screws on each side of the machine

should be coated with a light multi-purpose grease

to lubricate the threads.

1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!

2. Place a 4'' high block of wood between one

of the feed rollers and the planer bed. Ensure

that the block of wood is not under the

cutterhead.

The chain drive can be lubricated with a spray oil.

Saturate each chain link, then wipe off the excess

so that sawdust will not be attracted.

3. Lower the cutterhead assembly down just

enough so that the roller is pushed up against

the spring and pressure is off of the two

brackets.

Replace the sides, cover, and handle when com-

plete.
