5. Tighten the lock at the front of the housing. 6. Test the cutterhead guard by moving it toward the front of the jointer and then letting it go. The guard should return back to its original position against the fence and over the cutterhead, or as shown in Figure 38. This operation is extremely important for operator safety! Figure 38. Cutterhead guard properly posi- tioned over cutterhead and against fence. 7. If the guard drags across either table, release the lock at the shaft housing and move the guard up a little. G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers -25 Fence Stops The Grizzly 8" Jointers have three fence stops at 45. R, 90., and 45.L (see Figure 39). It is important to check and adjust these stops to ensure proper operation and quality results. Figure 39. Fence stops, controls & components. 45.L Stop Nut Fence Tilt Lock Tilt Handle 45.R Stop Nut 90. Stop Tab 90. Stop Bolt To check and adjust the 45° R fence stop: 1. Loosen the fence tilt lock handle. 2. Rotate the 90. stop tab out of the way and ease the fence back with the tilt handle, until it comes to rest on the 45. R stop bolt. 3. Use a bevel gauge that is set to 135., and place it on the table so the angled portion is against the fence as shown in Figure 40. Figure 40. Checking the fence at 45.R with a bevel gauge. -26 4. Check the current position of the fence. If it fits the angle of the bevel gauge, the fence is already set correctly. If it does not, then the fence needs to be adjusted. 5. Loosen the jam nut on the 45.R fence stop bolt. 6. Adjust the 45.R fence stop bolt until the fence angle matches the bevel gauge. 7. Tighten the jam nut on the 45.R stop bolt to secure it in place. The 45.R fence stop should now be correctly adjusted. To check and adjust the 90° fence stop: 1. Loosen the fence tilt lock handle. 2. Place a 90. square on the table and against the fence as shown in Figure 41. Figure 41. Checking the fence with a 90. square. 3. Check the current position of the fence. If it fits the 90. square, the fence is already set correctly. If it does not, then the fence needs to be adjusted. 4. Loosen the jam nut on the 90. stop bolt. 5. Adjust the 90. stop bolt until the fence angle matches the 90. square. 6. Tighten the jam nut on the 90. stop bolt to secure it in place. The 90. stop bolt should now be correctly adjusted. G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers To check and adjust the 45°L fence stop: 1. Loosen the fence tilt lock handle. 2. Using the tilt handle, slowly tilt the fence toward the front of the jointer until it stops. 3. Set your bevel gauge to 45., and place it on the table so the angled portion is against the fence as shown in Figure 42. Figure 42. Checking the fence at 45. L with a 45. square. 4. Check the current position of the fence. If it fits the angle of the bevel gauge, the fence is already set correctly. If it does not, then the fence needs to be adjusted. 5. Loosen the jam nut on the 45.L fence stop nut. 6. Adjust the 45.L stop nut until the fence angle matches the bevel gauge. 7. Tighten the jam nut against the 45. L stop nut to secure it in place. The 45.L fence stop should now be correctly adjusted. Plug Installation To install a plug on your power cord: 1. Refer to Section 3: Circuit Requirements to determine the correct plug and receptacle for your particular setup. 2. Have the plug and receptacle installed by a licensed electrician. Test Run Once assembly is complete, you are ready to test run the machine. DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before you do anything! Otherwise serious personal injury may occur. Connect the power to the power supply. Press the START button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there is a problem. The jointer should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further. If the jointer seems to be running correctly, let it run for a short time to ensure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration. If any problem develops, correct it before attempting to use the machine. If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises, feel free to contact our service department for help.
