tute for proper accident prevention measures.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also

be used to alert against unsafe practices.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information

about proper operation of the equipment.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. Conductor size should be in accordance

with the chart below. The amperage rating

should be listed on the motor or tool name-

plate. 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.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubri-

cating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing

and changing accessories, such as blades,

bits, cutters, and the like.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther use of the tool, a guard or other part

that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function.

Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,

mounting, and any other conditions that

may affect its operation. A guard or other

part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is

recommended. Wear protective hair cover-

ing to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have

impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety

glasses.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to

hold work when practical. It’s safer than

floor before use. Any “wobbles” must be

corrected by shimming or blocking before

operation.

7. Do not remove excessive amounts of

wood in a single pass.

8. Inspect your stock before planing. Reject

stock with defects and foreign material

2. This machine is not designed to process

any other material except wood.

9. Do not attempt to remove jams until power

is disconnected and all moving parts have

come to a complete stop.

3. Never position fingers or thumbs near the

infeed roller.

10. Provide adequate infeed and outfeed

4. Long stock should always be fully support-

space for operating the planer.

ed by some type of support fixture.

11. Do not plane wood less than 12" long and

5. Do not operate planer with dull or damaged

⁄4" thick.

knives.

12. Do not plane lumber with loose knots or

knots that may become loose during

planing.

6. Ensure that the planer is properly adjusted

before using.

Operating this equipment has the potential

to propel debris into the air which can

cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-

es or goggles when operating equipment.

Everyday glasses or reading glasses only

have impact resistant lenses, they are not

safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-

es you wear meet the appropriate stan-

dards of the American National Standards

Institute (ANSI).

Like all power tools, there is danger asso-

ciated with the Model G1033 20" Planer.

Accidents are frequently caused by lack of

familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use

this tool with respect and caution to lessen

the possibility of operator injury. If normal

safety precautions are overlooked or

ignored serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be com-

plete. 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 personal injury, damage to equip-

ment or poor work results.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Grounding

220V Operation

The 3 HP G1033 Planer motor is wired to oper-

ate at 220V only. A 220V plug that matches your

220V receptacle must attach to the end of the

power cord. Plugs and receptacles can be pur-

chased at your local hardware store or home

center. When connecting to 220V, ensure that

the electrical circuit is in fact a 220V circuit.

Contact your local electrical contractor if uncer-

tain about converting to 220V operation. A wiring

diagram for the motor and switch is provided at

the back of this manual should more detail be

needed.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-

rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-

ing an equipment-grounding conductor. The out-

let must be properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This equipment must be grounded. Please

ensure that this machine is continuously

grounded from the motor to the machine frame

and then to a known ground. Verify that any

existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend

to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it

will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G.

copper grounding wire from the outlet to a

known ground. Under no circumstances should

the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug

be removed. Serious injury may occur.

When operating at 220V, we recommend using a

NEMA-style 6-30 plug and outlet. See Figure 1.

You may also “hard-wire” the planer directly to

your panel, provided you place a disconnect

switch near the machine.

Extension Cords

Figure 1. Twist-lock style 30A connector.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords

on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange

the placement of your equipment and the

installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-

sion cords. Should it be necessary to use an

extension make sure the cord is rated Hard

Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in

Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the

minimum gauge for the extension cord. The

extension cord must also contain a ground wire

and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension

cords when they become worn or damaged.

Fusing

The Model G1033 should be fused at 30 amps.

Fusing at amperage ratings higher than 30 amps

will not adequately protect the motor. You are

cautioned that equipment that is returned to us

for service that shows evidence of being over-

fused will be repaired or replaced totally at the

customer’s expense, regardless of the present

warranty status.

Unpacking

Parts Inventory

This planer is shipped from the factory in a care-

fully packed carton. If you find the machine to be

damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and the

truck and driver are already gone, you will need

to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the

containers and all packing materials for inspec-

tion by the carrier or their agent. Without the

packing materials, filing a freight claim can be dif-

ficult. If you need advice regarding this situation,

please call us immediately.

Take a quick inventory of the parts and put them

aside for assembly later. After all the parts have

been removed from the container, you should

have:

• Planer Unit

• Dust Hood

Site Considerations

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy

oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment.

Remove this protective coating with with a sol-

vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid

chlorine-based solvents as they may damage

painted surfaces should they come in contact.

Always follow the usage instructions on the prod-

uct you choose for clean up.

FLOOR LOAD

Your G1033 Planer represents a large weight

load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors

are suitable for the Model G1033. Some residen-

tial floors may require additional build up to sup-

port both machine and operator.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-

tances between machines and obstacles that

allow safe operation of every machine without

limitation. Consider existing and anticipated

machine needs, size of material to be processed

through each machine, and space for auxiliary

stands and/or work tables. Also consider the rel-

ative position of each machine to one another for

efficient material handling. Be sure to allow your-

self sufficient room to safely run your machines in

any foreseeable operation.

Many of the solvents commonly used to

clean machinery can be highly flammable,

and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always

work in well-ventilated areas far from poten-

tial ignition sources when dealing with sol-

vents. Use care when disposing of waste

rags and towels to be sure they do not cre-

ate fire or environmental hazards. Keep chil-

dren and animals safely away when clean-

ing and assembling this machine.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate

shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits

should be dedicated or large enough to handle

combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be

located near each machine so power or exten-

sion cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.

Be sure to observe local electrical codes for prop-

er installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-

based solvents to remove this protective

coating. These products generally have

low flash points which makes them

extremely flammable. A risk of explosion

and burning exists if these products are

used. Serious personal injury may occur.

Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that

your workplace is inaccessible to young-

sters by closing and locking all entrances

when you are away. Never allow visitors in

your shop when assembling, adjusting or

operating equipment.

Some die-cut metal parts may have sharp

edges (called “flashing”) on them after they

are formed. Please examine the edges of all

die-cut metal parts before handling them.

Failure to do so could result in injury.
