Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For opti- mum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding con- tact surfaces that are coated.
Mounting to Bench The planer can be directly mounted to a bench or table top, or to a Shop Fox ® Deluxe Tool Table for increased stability during planing. To mount the planer: Determine the correct length of hex bolts needed to mount the planer to your work- bench.
Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there is a problem. Run the Model G0505 for a short time to ensure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration.
Figure 6. Location of switch and reset button. operating this The G0505 Planer comes equipped with a ther- mal overload protection switch which will trip if the motor gets too hot. To reset the switch, turn the switch to the OFF position, wait a few minutes and then depress the reset button.
Depth Of Cut The planing depth is controlled by the crank han- dle on top of the planer. Turning the handle clock- wise raises the cutterhead and turning it counter- clockwise lowers the cutterhead. See Figure 7. Depth-of-cut is read directly from the inch/millime- ter scale located on the top, right-hand side of the planer.
Wood Types The species of wood, as well as its condition, has a dramatic effect on the depth of cut the planer can effectively take with each pass. The harder the wood (as illustrated by its shear strength), the shallower the depth of cut should be.
