Additional Safety for Jointers JOINTER KICKBACK. DO NOT CUTTERHEAD ALIGNMENT. PUSH BLOCKS. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. KICKBACK ZONE. 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 decrease the risk of operator injury.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 220V Single-Phase Operation Serious personal injury could occur if you connect the machine to power before com- pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power until instructed later in this manual. Electrocution or fire could result if machine is not correctly grounded or connected to the power...
Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire setup pro- cess! The Model G0706 is a heavy machine (834 lbs shipping weight). Use power lifting equipment to lift this jointer. Otherwise serious personal injury...

Moving & Placing Base Unit The Model G0706 is a heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving meth- ods are not used. To be safe, get assistance and use power equipment to move the shipping crate and remove the machine from the crate.
Page 19
Outfeed Table Height The outfeed table height MUST be set level with the cutting inserts when they are at top-dead-center or the workpiece cannot safely feed across the jointer, which will increase the risk of a kickback injury. Figure 14 Figure 14.
Page 20
Dust Port DO NOT operate the Model G0706 with- out an adequate dust collection system. This machine creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.
OMMEND that you read books, trade maga- zines, or get formal training before begin- ning any projects. Regardless of the con- tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training. Operation Overview...

Stock Inspection & Requirements Follow these rules when choosing and joint- ing stock: contains large or loose knots. Jointing and surface planing with the grain is safer for the operator and pro- duces a better finish. Note: If the grain changes direction along the edge of the workpiece, decrease the depth of cut and make additional passes.
Page 24
Squaring Stock Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the following order: Surface Plane on the Jointer: Figure 21 Figure 21. Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer: Figure 22 Figure 22. Edge Joint on the Jointer: Figure 23 Figure 23. Rip Cut on a Table Saw: Figure 24 Figure 24.
Page 25
Surface Planing 25–26 NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0" and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described for each of the jointing proce- dures. This process will better prepare you for the actual operation.
Edge Jointing Figures 27–28 Figure 27. Figure 28. To edge joint on the jointer: Instructions Stock Inspection & Requirement Page 21 Setting Outfeed Table Height Page 33 Note: We suggest ⁄ "– ⁄ " depth of cut for edge jointing, and a more shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.
Page 27
Bevel Cutting Figures 29–30 Figure 29. Figure 30. To bevel cut on the jointer: Instructions Stock Inspection & Requirement Page 21 Setting Outfeed Table Height Page 33 Note: We suggest ⁄ "– ⁄ " depth of cut for bevel cutting, and a more shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.
Page 28
Rabbet Cutting Figures 31-32 NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation. Figure 31.
Page 29
Cutterhead Inserts Figure 33 Figure 33. Tools Needed To rotate or replace a spiral cutterhead insert: Note: Proper cleaning of the insert, Torx screw, and the cutterhead pocket is critical to achieving a smooth finish. Dirt or dust trapped between the insert and cutterhead will raise the insert slightly and make notice- able marks on your workpiece the next time you cut.
