Manual Before Operating This Equipment  
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.  
This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level  
of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below.  
Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substi-  
tute for proper accident prevention measures.  
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
WILL result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
COULD result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert  
against unsafe practices.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

4. NEVER USE IN DANGEROUS ENVI-  
RONMENT. Do not use power tools in  
damp or wet locations, or where any flam-  
mable or noxious fumes may exist. Keep  
work area well lighted.  
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or

Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make  
sure your extension cord is in good condi-  
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The amperage  
rating should be listed on the motor or tool  
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause  
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire and  
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-  
sion cords if they become damaged.  
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.  
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-  
mended accessories. The use of improper  
accessories may cause risk of injury.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-  
AL STARTING. On machines with magnet-  
ic contact starting switches there is a risk of  
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.  
Always disconnect from power source  
before adjusting or servicing. Make sure  
switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.  
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords  
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-  
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part  
that is damaged should be carefully  
checked to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended function.  
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,  
mounting, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or other  
part that is damaged should be properly  
repaired or replaced.

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,  
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get  
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear  
is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-  
ering to contain long hair.  
18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-  
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not  
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.  
19. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN  
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF  
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-  
ness is required at all times when running a  
machine.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also  
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is  
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact  
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.  
20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR  
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-  
ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any  
instructions you give in regards to machine  
operation are approved, correct, safe, and  
clearly understood.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold  
work when practical. It’s safer than using your  
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.  
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.  
21. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-  
ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-  
ed operation, stop using the machine! Then  
contact our service department or ask a  
qualified expert how the operation should  
be performed.  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep  
tools sharp and clean for best and safest  
performance. Follow instructions for lubri-  
cating and changing accessories.

Additional Safety Instructions For Jointers  
1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with your  
lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before  
you feed it over the cutterhead. If you have  
any doubts about the stability or structural  
integrity of your stock, DO NOT JOINT IT!  
9. JOINT WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against  
the grain is dangerous and could produce  
chatter or excessive chip out.  
10. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RABBETING,  
all operations must be performed with the  
guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to  
replace the guard.  
2. MAINTAIN PROPER RELATIONSHIP of  
the outfeed table and the cutterhead knife  
path.  
11. NEVER BACK THE WORK toward the  
3. ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS whenever  
surface planing. Never place your hands  
directly over the cutterhead.  
infeed table.  
12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – are hard to  
break. Develop good habits in your shop  
and safety will become second-nature to  
you.  
4. SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE adequately  
at all times during operation, maintain con-  
trol over the work at all times.  
13. “KICKBACK” is when the workpiece is  
thrown off the jointer table by the force of  
the cutterhead. Always use pushblocks and  
safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of  
injury from “kickback.” If you do not under-  
stand what kickback is, or how it occurs,  
DO NOT operate this machine.  
5. WHEN JOINTING, do not stand directly at  
the end of either table. Position yourself  
just to the side of the infeed table to avoid  
injury from possible kickbacks.  
6. NEVER MAKE ANY SINGLE CUT DEEP-  
ER THAN 18".  
14. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS  
MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION  
in people and animals, especially when  
exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know  
what type of wood dust you will be exposed  
to and always wear an approved respirator.  
7. NEVER JOINT A BOARD that has loose  
knots. All defects should be cut out of the  
board before it is planed or jointed.  
8. NEVER JOINT end grain.  
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-  
ciated with the Grizzly 8" Jointers.  
Accidents are frequently caused by lack of  
familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use  
this tool with respect and caution to lessen  
the possibility of operator injury. If normal  
safety precautions are overlooked or  
ignored, serious personal injury may  
occur.  
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.  
Every shop environment is different. Always  
consider safety first, as it applies to your  
individual working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and respect.  
Failure to do so could result in serious per-  
sonal injury, damage to equipment or poor  
work results.

Extension Cords  
Grounding  
220V Operation  
In the event of an electrical short, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a  
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-  
rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that  
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet  
must be properly installed and grounded in accor-  
dance with all local codes and ordinances.  
We do not recommend the use of extension cords  
on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-  
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to  
eliminate the need for extension cords.  
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an  
extension cord at 220V with your Grizzly 8"  
Jointer:  
Make sure the cord is rated for Standard  
Service (grade S) or better.  
Verify that any existing  
electrical outlet and cir-  
cuit you use is actually  
grounded. If not, it will be  
necessary to run a sepa-  
rate 12 A.W.G. copper  
grounding wire from the  
outlet to a known ground.  
If not grounded properly,  
serious personal injury  
could occur.  
The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug pin.  
Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50  
feet long or less.  
Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is  
between 51-100 feet.  
110V Operation  
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord  
at 110V with your Grizzly 8" jointer:  
Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service  
(grade S) or better.  
The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug pin.  
Use at least a 10 gauge cord if the cord is 50  
feet long or less.  
DO NOT use a cord longer that 50 feet!  
This machine must have a ground prong in  
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.  
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to  
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will  
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet  
installed by a qualified electrician.

Common Terms and Definitions  
Infeed Table: The infeed table is the table where  
the cutting operation begins. When facing the  
front of the jointer, it is on the right-hand side.  
The wood travels right to left; from the infeed  
table, across the cutterhead, and onto the out-  
feed table.  
Table Lock Handles: The threaded handles that  
must be loosened before the height of the  
tables can be adjusted. They are then tight-  
ened after the height is properly set.  
Rabbet Cut: A rabbet cut is a groove cut along  
the long edge of the wood stock, usually used  
for making simple joints. The cutterhead guard  
must be removed for this operation, so great  
care is needed for safe operation.  
Outfeed Table: The outfeed table is the table  
where the cutting operation ends. When facing  
the front of the jointer, it is on the left-hand  
side.  
Surface Planing: Surface planing is running the  
face of the wood stock over the jointer. This  
provides one flat side that is ready to be run  
through a dedicated planing machine.  
Cutterhead: The cutterhead is the cylindrical  
assembly that holds each of the jointer knives.  
It spins on a horizontal axis between the infeed  
and outfeed table, and is covered by the cut-  
terhead guard.  
Edge Jointing: Edge jointing is running the long  
edge of the wood stock over the jointer. This  
provides one flat edge that is ready to be run  
against the table saw rip fence or edge glued.  
Fence: The jointer fence is the adjustable cast  
iron surface that the wood stock runs along  
when jointing and surface planing. The fence is  
adjustable from 45°-90° to the infeed and out-  
feed tables.  
Cutterhead Guard: The metal guard that covers  
the cutterhead and automatically moves out of  
the way during operation, then automatically  
moves back into place after the operation.  
Adjustment Levers and Handwheels: Controls  
the height of the infeed and outfeed tables.

The Grizzly 8" Jointers are shipped from the man-  
ufacturer in a carefully packed crate and a card-  
board box. If you discover the machine is dam-  
aged after you’ve signed for delivery, and the  
truck and driver are gone, you will need to file a  
freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers  
and all packing materials for possible inspection  
by the carrier or its agent. Without the packing  
materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If  
you need assistance determining whether you  
need to file a freight claim, or with the procedure  
to file one, please contact our Customer Service.  
The 8" Jointer is a heavy  
machine at approximate-  
ly 460 lbs. shipping  
weight. DO NOT move  
the machine by yourself  
– you will need assis-  
tance and power equip-  
ment. Serious personal  
injury may occur if safe  
moving methods are not  
followed.

Clean Up  
Site Considerations  
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy  
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-  
ment. 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. Avoid chlo-  
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted  
surfaces should they come in contact.  
FLOOR AND WORKBENCH LOAD  
Your Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW represents  
a medium weight load. Most commercial or  
garage shop floors should be sufficient to carry  
the weight. Before moving the jointer onto a res-  
idential floor, inspect it carefully to determine that  
it will be sufficient to carry the load of the  
machine, the device for moving it and its opera-  
tors. If you question the strength of your floor, you  
should consider having it inspected for possible  
reinforcement.  
To access all surfaces, remove the fence lock nut  
and handle (see Figure 10), and remove the  
fence from the jointer unit.  
WORKING CLEARANCES  
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-  
tances between machines and obstacles that  
allow safe operation of every machine without  
limitation. Consider existing and anticipated  
machine needs, size of material to be processed  
through each machine, and space for auxiliary  
stands and/or work tables. Also consider the rel-  
ative position of each machine to one another for  
efficient material handling.  
LIGHTING AND OUTLETS  
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate  
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits  
should be dedicated or large enough to handle  
amperage requirements. Outlets should be locat-  
ed near each machine so power or extension  
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe  
local electrical codes for proper installation of  
new lighting, outlets, or circuits.  
Figure 10. Jointer fence lock nut (the handle is  
attached directly underneath nut).  
Do not use gasoline or  
other petroleum-based  
solvents to clean with.  
They have low flash  
points which make them  
extremely flammable. A  
risk of explosion and  
burning exists if these  
products are used.  
Make your shop “child  
safe.” Ensure that your  
workplace is inaccessible  
to youngsters by closing  
and locking all entrances  
when you are away. Never  
allow visitors in your shop  
when assembling, adjust-  
ing or operating equipment.  
Do not smoke while using  
solvents. A risk of explo-  
sion or fire exists and may  
result in serious personal  
injury.

barely touching the knife and that the pads  
on the ends of the jig are resting firmly on the  
cutterhead.  
Knife Inspection  
The knives were set to their proper height at the  
factory, but we recommend that you inspect them  
to ensure proper operation and table setup.  
6. Repeat step 5 on all knives. If you find that  
any knives are out of adjustment, correct  
them as discussed in Section 7: Service  
Adjustments.  
To inspect the knife height:  
1. Make sure that the power has not been con-  
nected to the machine at this point in the  
setup process!  
2. Remove the belt guard shown in Figure 27.  
Table Alignment  
Both tables can be adjusted by unlocking the  
table locks (see Figure 29) and rotating the hand-  
wheels. To accurately joint or plane a piece of  
stock, both tables must be aligned correctly,  
beginning with the outfeed table.  
Figure 27. Removing belt guard.  
3. Using the cutterhead pulley, rotate the cut-  
terhead to make one of the knives accessible  
to the knife jig. Lower the tables if it is nec-  
essary to make more room.  
4. Place the jig over the knife as illustrated in  
Figure 28.  
Figure 29. Jointer.  
To align the outfeed table:  
1. Remove the belt guard so you can rotate the  
cutterhead safely.  
2. Rotate the cutterhead so that one of the  
knives is at top dead center. Note—A knife is  
at top dead center when it is at its highest  
point during the rotation. See Figure 30 for  
an illustration of a knife at top dead center.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS  
Your safety is important! Please follow the  
warnings below during this entire section:  
Stock Inspection  
& Requirements  
Operating this equipment creates the  
potential for flying debris to cause eye  
injury. Always wear safety glasses when  
operating equipment. Everyday glasses or  
reading glasses only have impact resistant  
lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be cer-  
tain the safety glasses you wear meet the  
appropriate standards of the American  
National Standards Institute (ANSI).  
Here are some rules to follow when choosing  
and cutting stock:  
If the stock has large or loose knots, find  
another workpiece. Knots in a workpiece can  
be dangerous to the operator, as well as  
destructive to equipment.  
When jointing, always cut WITH the grain  
rather than AGAINST it. Cutting against the  
grain (going against the pattern of the wood’s  
growth rings) chips the wood instead of cut-  
ting it, making the workpiece rough and irreg-  
ular and increasing the chances that a kick-  
back will occur.  
To check the grain direction, look at the side  
of your board. If the direction of the grain  
structure facing the cutterhead runs toward  
the cutterhead as it sits on the infeed table,  
your cut will be WITH the grain. See Figure  
43.  
Keep loose clothing out  
of the way of machinery  
and keep hair pulled  
back during operations.  
Using this machine pro-  
duces sawdust that may  
cause short and long-  
term respiratory illness.  
Always wear a dust mask  
when operating this  
machine.

ment to cutterhead.

Make sure that any stock you process with  
the jointer is clean and free of any dirt, nails,  
staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign  
objects that may damage the jointer blades.  
Squaring Stock  
The jointer performs two of the four required  
operations for squaring up stock—surface plan-  
ing and edge jointing. To help you understand  
these two operations better, we quickly describe  
the squaring process below:  
Only process natural wood fiber through your  
jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, ply-  
wood, laminates or other synthetically made  
materials.  
Make sure any stock you joint is properly  
dried. Wood with a moisture content over  
20% will cause unnecessary wear on the  
knives and will produce undesirable results.  
NOTICE  
Occasionally, you will find woods that defy  
all rules. In those rare cases, it is best to  
feed the workpiece slowly and take several  
shallow cuts. A few extra passes will hurt  
much less than a ruined workpiece.  
Step 1. Surface plane the concave face with a  
JOINTER to make it flat.  
Step 2. Edge joint the best edge with a JOINTER  
to make it flat.  
Step 3. Plane the second face with a THICK-  
NESS PLANER to make it parallel to the first face.  
Step 4. Rip the second edge with a TABLE SAW  
to make it parallel to the first edge.

Surface Planing  
5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place  
it so the concave side is face down on the  
surface of the infeed table.  
The purpose of surface planing is to make a flat  
face on a piece of stock to prepare it for planing  
on a thickness planer. See Figure 44.  
6. Start the jointer.  
7. With a push block in each hand, press the  
workpiece against the table and fence with  
firm pressure.  
8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead as  
shown in Figure 45. Note—When your lead-  
ing hand (with push block) gets within 4" of  
the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter-  
head, and place the push block on the por-  
tion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed  
table. At this point, focus your pressure on  
the outfeed end of the workpiece while feed-  
ing, and repeat the same action with your  
trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cut-  
terhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT  
let them get closer than 4" from the cutter-  
head when it is moving!

To surface plane on the jointer:  
1. Make sure that you have read and under-  
stand all safety instructions in Section 1:  
Safety and that your stock has been inspect-  
ed for safe operation as described in the  
“Stock Inspection” instructions earlier in this  
section.  
2. Make sure your workpiece is within the mini-  
mum and maximum stock dimensions that  
your Grizzly 8" Jointer can safely process.

Edge Jointing  
5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place  
it so the concave side is face down on the  
surface of the infeed table.  
The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin-  
ished, flat-edged surface that is suitable for join-  
ery or finishing. It is also a necessary step in the  
squaring process of rough or warped stock. See  
Figure 46.  
6. Start the jointer.  
7. Press the workpiece against the table and  
fence with firm pressure. Use your trailing  
hand to guide the workpiece through the cut.  
8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead as  
shown in Figure 47. Note—If your leading  
hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up  
and over the cutterhead, and place it on the  
portion of the workpiece that is over the out-  
feed table. At this point, focus your pressure  
on the outfeed end of the workpiece while  
feeding, and repeat the same action with  
your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of  
the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe,  
DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the  
cutterhead when it is moving!

Rabbet Cutting  
suggest between 16" and 8" for rabbet cut-  
ting, using a more shallow depth for harder  
wood species or for wider stock.)  
The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a sec-  
tion of the workpiece edge. When combined with  
another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create  
a simple, yet strong method of joining stock. See  
Figure 50.  
5. Make sure your fence is moved forward, so  
the amount of infeed/outfeed table exposed  
is the same as the size of your rabbet. Also,  
make sure your fence is set to 90˚

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE  
Lubrication  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently  
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they  
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.  
Table ways and the fence assembly should not  
be lubricated. If the tables appear to be stuck, dis-  
assemble and clean any foreign materials from  
the ways. Re-assemble and reset the gibs.  
General  
Regular periodic maintenance on your Grizzly 8"  
jointer will ensure its optimum performance.  
Make a habit of inspecting your jointer each time  
you use it. Check for the following conditions and  
repair or replace when necessary.  
V-Belt  
1. Loose mounting bolts.  
2. Worn switch.  
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check the  
V-belt tension by squeezing them in the center. If  
you can squeeze them more than 2" on both  
1
sides, using moderate pressure, then they need  
to be tightened. Check pulleys to ensure that they  
are properly aligned. To replace or adjust the V-  
belts, see Section 8: Service Adjustments.  
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
4. Damaged V-belt.  
5. Any other condition that could hamper the  
safe operation of this machine.  
Knife Condition  
Table  
Using sharp knives is one of the most important  
factors involved with the operation of the jointer.  
A good maintenance procedure is to hone the  
knives to keep them in top shape. A knife hone  
will polish and finely sharpen jointer knives quick-  
ly and easily without removing them.  
The table and other non-painted surfaces on your  
Grizzly 8" Jointer should be protected against rust  
and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every use  
ensures that moisture from wood dust does not  
remain on bare metal surfaces.  
For damaged or extra dull knives, have them  
resharpened by a professional grinder. To avoid  
downtime from resharpening, we recommend  
having an extra set of knives on hand.  
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-  
tions of products like SLIPIT® or Boeshield® T-9.  
For long term storage you may want to consider  
products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS  
The Grizzly 8" Jointers come with both jack  
screws and springs to provide you with two  
options for cutterhead adjustments (see Figure  
52). Note—Only one of these options is needed  
to set the knives—see step 5* for clarification.  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when perform-  
ing any adjustments or  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
About Service  
This section is designed to help the operator with  
adjustments that were made at the factory and  
might also need to be made during the life of the  
machine.  
This section is provided for your convenience—it  
is not a substitute for the Grizzly Service  
Department. If any adjustments arise that are not  
described in this manual, then feel free to call the  
Grizzly Service Department.  
Figure 52. Cutterhead profile.  
To set the knives:  
1. Disconnect the jointer from the power  
source!  
Similarly, if you are unsure of how to perform any  
procedure in this section, the Grizzly Service  
Department will be happy to guide you through  
the procedures or help in any other way.  
2. Remove the cutterhead guard from the table  
and lower the infeed and outfeed tables as  
far as they go. This will give you unrestricted  
access to the cutterhead.  
3. Remove the belt guard to expose the cutter-  
head pulley.  
Setting Knives  
4. Rotate the cutterhead pulley to give you  
good access to one of the cutterhead knives.  
5. Loosen the cutterhead gib bolts, starting in  
the middle, and alternating back and forth  
until all of the gib bolts are loose, but not  
falling out.  
Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the prop-  
er operation of the jointer and is very important in  
keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher  
than the others, it will do the majority of the work,  
and thus, dull much faster than the others.  
*NoteIf this is the first time you are setting  
the knives, remove the gib and knife from the  
cutterhead. Decide which adjustment option  
you are going to use between the jack  
screws and the springs. If you decide to use  
The knives on your Grizzly 8" Jointer should be  
set .051" (1.3MM)-.060" (1.5MM) higher than the  
cutterhead. The knife jig included with the jointer  
is designed to set the knives within this height.

the jack screws, remove the springs from the  
cutterhead. If you decide to use the springs,  
you can just thread the jack screws com-  
pletely into the cutterhead so they will not get  
lost. Replace the gib and knife.  
Springs—Push the knife down with the jig so  
that the knife edge is touching the middle  
pad of the jig. Hold the jig down and tighten  
the gib bolts just tight enough to hold the  
knife in place. Repeat steps 5-7 with the rest  
of the knives.  
6. Position the knife gauge over the knife as  
shown in Figure 53 and loosen the gib bolts  
until the knife is completely loose.  
8. Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife you  
started with. Slightly tighten all the gib bolts,  
starting at the ends and working your way to  
the middle by alternating left and right.  
Repeat this step on the rest of the knives.  
9. Repeat step 8.  
10. Repeat step 8, but final tighten each gib bolt.  
Adjusting Gibs  
Figure 53. Jig placement on cutterhead.  
The function of the table gibs (shown in Figure  
55) is to eliminate excessive play in the table  
movement. The gibs also control how easy it will  
be to move the tables up and down.  
7. Jack Screws—Using a 3MM allen wrench,  
find the jack screws through the access  
holes in the cutterhead (Figure 54) and  
rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the  
knife. When the knife is set correctly, it will  
barely touch the middle pad of the knife set-  
ting jig. Snug the gib bolts tight enough to  
just hold the knife in place. Repeat steps 5-  
7 with the rest of the knives.  
Figure 55. Table gibs.  
To adjust the table gibs:  
1. Loosen the table lock.  
2. Loosen the lock nuts and setscrews shown in  
Figure 56 on the next page. Make sure you  
support the table as you loosen it to prevent  
it from dropping to the end of its travel.

Adjusting V-Belts  
In order for your jointer to perform at its best, you  
should check (and adjust if necessary) the V-belt  
tension and alignment.  
To adjust the V-belt tension:  
1. Disconnect the jointer from the power  
source!  
2. Remove the stand door to gain access to the  
Figure 56. Table gib lock nuts and setscrews.  
V-belts.  
5. Evenly tighten both gib setscrews a small  
amount, then check the table by moving it up  
and down. Adjust the setscrews as needed  
until the friction of the table movement is bal-  
anced between minimal play and ease of  
movement. Note—Tighter gibs reduce play  
but make it harder to adjust the tables.  
3. Loosen the motor adjustment bolts shown in  
Figure 57.  
6. Repeat steps 1-5 with the other table.  
7. Adjust the table height of both tables before  
resuming with any operations.  
Figure 57. Motor adjustment bolts (shown  
underneath stand for clarity).  
4. Push down on the motor with one hand and  
tighten the motor adjustment bolts with the  
other hand.  
5. Check the V-belt tension by squeezing them  
in the center, as shown in Figure 58. If you  
1
can squeeze the V-belts more than 2" on  
both sides, using moderate pressure, then  
they need to be tighter—repeat steps 3-5.  
6. When the V-belt tension is correct, replace  
the stand door.

negligence, accidents, repairs or alterations or lack of maintenance. This is Grizzly’s sole written warranty  
and any and all warranties that may be implied by law, including any merchantability or fitness, for any par-  
ticular purpose, are hereby limited to the duration of this written warranty. We do not warrant or represent  
that the merchandise complies with the provisions of any law or acts unless the manufacturer so warrants.  
In no event shall Grizzly’s liability under this warranty exceed the purchase price paid for the product and  
any legal actions brought against Grizzly shall be tried in the State of Washington, County of Whatcom.  
We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property or for incidental, contingent, spe-  
cial, or consequential damages arising from the use of our products.  
To take advantage of this warranty, contact us by mail or phone and give us all the details. We will then
