Grizzly G1021 - Manual (Page 30)

-30- G1021 15" Planer
Crank the handwheel to raise or lower the table
according to the desired workpiece thickness.
Each complete revolution of the handwheel
moves the table by
5 /
32
" (4mm). Make sure the
height scale is properly adjusted.
With the limiting clip installed, you cannot cut
more than
1 /
8
" in a single pass. While cutting this
much material is possible, it is not recommended.
Take it slow and easy. The quality of your work
will be better and your planer will last longer.
The power feed features two feed rates; 16 FPM
and 20 FPM. When running the machine, the
operator can control the feed speed by moving
the feed control knob. Moving the knob toward
the machine produces the 20 FPM feed speed,
away from the machine produces 16 FPM and a
center position places the gear box in neutral.

The Model G1021 is equipped with a depth lim-
iter – located on the bottom of the cutterhead
casting just under the nameplate. See
Figure 36 .
The depth limiter controls maximum depth of cut
to
1 /
8
".

CAUTION
The feed rate should be set while the planer
is running but before feeding lumber into it.
DO NOT attempt to change speeds after the
cutting operation has begun.
CAUTION
To avoid mechanical damage to the planer,
do not remove the depth limiter.

CAUTION
If you take a cut that is too large, the planer
will bog down noticeably. The motor may
even stall. If this happens, turn off the
power immediately, lower the table, and
remove your workpiece. Re-adjust your
table to allow a lesser cut and repeat your
operation.
