Remove this protective coating with a sol- vent 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 contact surfaces that are coated.
SECTION 6: ASSEMBLY Beginning Assembly Most of your Extreme Duty Planer has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order presented in this section.
Table Rollers The height of the table rollers will vary, depending on the type of material you intend to plane. When planing rough stock, you will need to set the roll- ers high to keep the lumber from dragging along the table.
Run the planer for a short time to ensure that the moving parts are working properly with no exces- sive vibration. If any problem develops, correct it before attempting to use the machine.
• Use the full width of the planer, Alternate between the left, the right and the middle when feeding lumber into the planer. Your knives will remain sharp much longer.
Chatter marks can also be caused by running a narrow wood piece through the planer at either the right or left end of the cutterhead. Chatter, like uneven knife marks, will show in the form of a “washboard”...
General Periodic maintenance on your 20" Extreme Duty Planer Planer ensures its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your planer each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.
Transmission Box — Lubricate after every 12 hours of continuous use. See Figure 21 for location. Figure 21. Transmission box grease fitting. Table Lifting Gears — Once a week for heavy use; once a month for moderate use. See Figure 22 for locations. Figure 22.

Cutterhead Knives The Model G9740/G9741/G9967 features a 4- knife cutterhead. The knives are factory set to .071". Unless you are having problems related to the knives or are removing them for sharpen- ing/replacement, assume that your knives are adjusted correctly. To be safe, always test the planer with a scrap piece of wood before using expensive stock.
Planer Pal available in the current ® Grizzly catalog. Using magnets, a pair of these devices will automatically hold the knife blades within .001" of each other, thereby allowing you to quickly and accurately lock the knife in place.

Figure 10. Always rotate carbide cutters in the same direction to keep track of the dull or damaged edges. To install/adjust the carbide cutters: Disconnect the planer from the power source! Open the top cover door to gain access to the cutterhead, and open the left-hand service door to gain access to the cutterhead pulley, so you can safely rotate the cutterhead.
Rotacator ing adjustments to your planer. This tool is well worth the money, because it provides accuracy within .001". Check with the current Grizzly cata- log for details. As an alternative to using a Rotacator a block of scrap wood to aid in checking the table.
Page 29
Make sure the planer is disconnected from the power source! Models G9740Z and G9967Z skip this step. For Models G9740 and G9967, open the left side service door. Locate the cutterhead lock shown in Figure 11. Pull up and twist so the end of the lock will drop.
Page 30
To adjust the table with the wood block: Make sure the planer is disconnected from the power source! Place the wood block on the side of the table where the tightest gap exists between the table and the cutterhead.
Although not required, we recommend using a Rotacator for the following setup. Check with the ® current Grizzly catalog for details. To set the feed rollers and pressure bar with hardwood blocks: Make sure the machine is disconnected from power and the knives have been...
Page 32
Working from the back of the planer is easi- est because the anti-kickback pawls hang down in the front. Place a piece of newspa- per on each wood block so it is both under the cutterhead and accessible from the back of the planer.
To adjust the pressure on the chip breaker segments: Make sure the planer is disconnected from the power source! Rotate the knurled adjustment rings shown in Figure 18 either left or right to increase or decrease the spring tension.
However, due to Grizzly’s policy of continuous improvement, changes may be made at any time with no obligation on the part of Grizzly. Whenever possible, though, we send manual updates to all owners of a particular tool or machine. Should you receive one, add the new information to this manual and keep it for reference.
