Feeding Workpiece - Grizzly G0939 Owner's Manual

Elevation Scale
The elevation scale (see Figure 16) on the right-
hand side panel at the front of the machine shows
workpiece thickness after it leaves the planer. The
thickness measurement is indicated by the top
edge of the red Line.

Note: The cutterhead elevation scale does not
provide a precise measurement and should only
be used for approximate measurements. If pre-
cise workpiece thicknesses are needed, use
calipers to ensure your workpieces meet your
standards.
Depth Stop Dial (G0940)
The depth stop dial (see Figure 17) on the right-
hand side of the machine allows the operator to
pre-set workpiece thickness. The workpiece thick-
ness is indicated by the white dot on the depth
stop dial pointing to the thickness scale.
To adjust the dial, rotate the cutterhead elevation
crank to raise the cutterhead assembly, rotate
the dial to the preferred thickness, then lower the
cutterhead assembly until it gently rests on the
depth stop.

Feeding Workpiece

The feed rate on this planer is automatically set
at 25 FPM. Infeed and outfeed rollers move the
workpiece through the planer while keeping it
firmly against the table and providing a consistent
rate of movement.

Place workpiece on table with side to be
planed facing up toward cutterhead.
Note: Boards more than 24" long should be
supported on both sides of planer.
Lower cutterhead until depth bar (see Figure
18) just touches workpiece.
Note: Any time you switch directions with
cutterhead elevation handle, there will be a
small amount of backlash—so the first full
crank of the handle after switching directions
will be slightly less than
long as you move the handle in the same
direction during operation, backlash will not
be a factor.
