SECTION 1: SAFETY
WARNING: For Your Own Safety Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating Planer-Moulder
a)
b)
Always wear eye protection.
d) Support the workpiece adequately at all
times during operation; maintain control of
the work at all times.
Be sure all guards are in place before oper-
ating equipment.
e)
Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or
little-used operation without study and the
use of adequate hold-downs, jigs, fixtures,
stops, and the like.
c)
Read the operators manual thoroughly and
familiarize yourself with the machine before
attempting to operate.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools
These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a workshop. Consider your conditions when setting up
or operating your planer-moulder.
1.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure it is
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.
Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords
up to 50 feet in length. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Your exten-
sion cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords if they become damaged.
2.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning on.
3.
4.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON-
MENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
5.
6.
7.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors
should be kept a safe distance from work
area.
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.
MAKE WORK SHOP KID PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
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.
8.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
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 align-
ment of moving parts, binding 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.
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rota-
tion of the blade or cutter only.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommend-
ed accessories. The use of improper acces-
sories may cause risk of injury to persons.
Additional Safety Instructions For Planer-Moulders
1. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed
it through the machine. If you have any
doubts about the stability or structural
integrity of your stock, DO NOT USE IT!
8. The hood should always be DOWN and cov-
ering the cutterhead when the motor is on.
9. Do not stand directly in front of or in back of
the workpiece as it is feeding through your
power tool. Stand to one side.
2. NEVER mill stock that has loose knots. All
defects should be cut out of the board before
it is processed.
10. After a long period of operation, stop the
machine, disconnect the power, and check
the cutterhead gibs and screws for tightness.
3. NEVER plane a board less than 14" in
length.
11. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safe-
ty will become second-nature to you.
4. Before starting up, recheck to make certain
all screws are tight.
3
5. Never plane more than ⁄16" in one pass
12. Check the feed roller bearings occasionally
to be sure chips are not lodged between
bearings and the side plate. If bearings are
not seated firmly, the feed rollers will not hold
stock firmly against the bed, and kickback
will occur.
except in the first moulding pass where you
must bring up the table until the rollers con-
tact the board.
6. Do not force-feed your work through the
machine. Allow the planer to apply the prop-
er feed rate.
13. Never stand directly in line with either the
infeed or outfeed side. Always stand to one
side of the machine. With any power tool,
kickback is always a possibility.
7. Use sound lumber with no loose knots and
with as few tight knots as possible.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
220V Operation
The motor supplied with the G1037 is a dual volt-
age motor, prewired for 110V. Under normal use,
the motor draws approximately 17 amps @ 110V,
8.5 @ 220V. We recommend using a 20 amp cir-
cuit breaker or a 30 amp slow blow fuse for 110V
or 220V operation. This should be satisfactory for
normal use, while preventing motor damage from
high heat caused by overload. If frequent circuit
failures occur when using the planer/moulder,
contact our service department or your local elec-
trical contractor.
An instruction sheet has been included for
rewiring for 220V. If this sheet is missing, call the
appropriate service center for more information.
Do not attempt to rewire without the instruction
sheet.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Grounding
CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali-
fied electrician.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Figure 2.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi-
ately.

Clean up
Site Considerations
The column and other unpainted parts of the
Model G1037 are coated with a waxy oil that pro-
tects them from corrosion during shipment.
Remove the protective coating with mineral spir-
its and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other
petroleum based solvents because of their
extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine-
based solvents – if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.
1. Floor Load: Your G1037 Planer/Moulder
represents a large weight load in a small
footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable
for the Model G1037. Some residential floors
may require additional build up to support
both machine and operator.
2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a loca-
tion for you Planer/Moulder.
WARNING!
Follow the safety rules listed below when
working with solvents:
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-
age requirements. Outlets should be located
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.
1. Read and follow all directions and warnings
on the solvent label.
2. Work only in a well ventilated area.
3. Do not work near any type of open flame
(e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so
on).
4. DO NOT smoke while working with flamma-
ble material.
5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are
extremely combustible. Dispose of waste
towels so they do not create a fire hazard.

lower stand braces.
2. The square mounting holes on either side of
the legs are not the same. On one side the
square holes are parallel to the leg, at an
angle on the other. Attach the long upper
and lower braces to the side with the parallel
holes. Use the 5/16" - 18 x 5/8" Carriage bolts,
5/16" - 18 Hex nuts, and 5/16" Flat washers pro-
vided. Hand tighten for now. Figure 4.
Most of your Planer/Moulder has been assem-
bled at the factory. The few remaining pieces
should go together quickly and easily. With just a
few simple hand tools, completion of your new
Planer/Moulder is quite straight forward.
We have organized the assembly process into
steps. Please follow them in sequence.
Caution: All die-cut metal parts have a sharp
edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are
formed. This is removed at the factory.
Sometimes though, a bit of flashing might escape
inspection. Please examine the edges of all die-
cut metal parts before handling them.

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
Knife Removal
Unplug your Planer/Moulder from its power
source.
WARNING: Always unplug your planer from its
power source before changing knives and mould-
ing cutters.
Your planer knives are held in position by wedge-
type gibs. The setscrews press against the bot-
tom of the cutterhead slot, forcing the gib and
planer knife into a wedge-type seal. To break this
seal and remove the knife:
Figure 7.
1. Simply loosen the gib setscrews and tap the
gib down using a hammer and the included
brass punch or a piece of wood. Figure 7.
2. Once the gib is free, remove the knife first and
then the gib.
3. Mark the gib and matching slot to be sure that
the gib is replaced in its original position.
4. Clean the knife and cutterhead slot to remove
all pitch and gum residue.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other two
knives.

Knife Setting
Unplug your Planer/Moulder from its power
source.
WARNING: Always unplug your planer from its
power source before changing knives and mould-
ing cutters.
When installing the planer knives, orient the knife
in the cutterhead as shown in Figure 8. Your
Planer/Moulder comes with a knife setting gauge
to aid in uniform knife setting. Place the gauge on
the cutterhead next to the jack screws with the
feet of the knife setting gauge firmly resting
against the cutterhead. Adjust the jack screws
until the knife just touches the gauge with the gib
just barely snug.
Figure 9. Adjusting the knives.
Knife height should be checked on the right and
left of the knife. Make sure both ends are adjust-
ed to the same height. Once the knife height is
adjusted, snug down the gib screws a little more
to make sure the knife doesn't shift. Repeat this
procedure for the other two knives and then, go
through all gib screws sequentially three times to
tighten them to their final torque.
NOTE: The knives must rest firmly on the jack
screws.
CAUTION: Planer knives are very sharp. Use
care when handling knives.
After running the machine for five minutes, stop,
unplug, and make sure all of the gib screws are
still tight.
CAUTION: The end of the knife is very suscepti-
ble to chipping. Therefore, use caution when han-
dling the gauge near the knives or you will dam-
age the blades.

Bedboard
Due to the high relief nature of the moulding cut-
ters, it is essential that a bedboard be used to
ensure that the knives do not come into contact
with the planer bed. The bedboard also needs
side rails or fences to guide the stock through the
machine. Always use a bedboard so the knife
does not come into contact with the cast iron bed
of your Planer/Moulder. Before installing the
moulding knives, construct and install a bedboard
and fence system as described below.
Figure 10.
Figure 11.
Figure 12.
WARNING: Always use a bedboard when oper-
ating a planer with moulding cutter knives. Failure
to use a bedboard with custom moulding knives
can damage the knives, planer bed and cutter.
Make your bedboard out of dimensionally stable,
low friction material. Guides should be clamped in
place with bolts mounted in the bedboard or by C-
clamps. Size and or placement of the guides will
will change depending upon moulding knife
selection, width of stock and profile placement on
the stock.
Once your bedboard is securely mounted, adjust
the guides so they are in line with the moulding
knives. Proper adjustment of the guides will
assure quality cut mouldings. To adjust the
guides, unplug the machine, lower the bed and
place a piece of stock of correct width to be
moulded under the cutterhead. Loosely adjust
your guides to the stock. Rotate the cutterhead
pulley by hand and see if the moulding knife will
line up with the stock. Adjust accordingly on the
infeed and outfeed side until the moulding knife
and stock are lined up. When properly adjusted,
firmly tighten the clamps securing the bed guides.

Moulding Knives
Moulding cutter knives fit directly into the center
of each cutterhead slot and can be used with the
planer blades so that you can actually plane and
mould in one pass.
The Planer/Moulder accepts two thicknesses of
1
1
1
cutters: ⁄8'' and ⁄4''. For the ⁄8'' cutter thickness,
only loosen the gib, using a piece of aluminum or
brass to tap down the wedge piece. For 1⁄4'' thick-
ness, remove the gib and the wedge piece and
replace with the special gibs for the 1⁄4'' thickness.
These gibs are supplied with each set of mould-
ing knives.
Figure 14.
2. Mount the stamped steel ''L'' bracket supplied
with the moulder to the headstock and posi-
tion it laterally to correspond with the location
of the fence directly below it. Insert each knife
to full depth in the cutterhead and slide it side-
ways until it just touches the 'L' bracket.
Lightly tighten the setscrews in the gib just
enough to keep the knife from moving in the
cutterhead. Install the other knives in the
same manner. Now tighten the gibs in 4-5
stages to assure that the clamping pressures
are evenly distributed through all the gibs. Do
not over tighten the setscrews to prevent
stripping the threads in the gibs.
WARNING: Always unplug the Planer/Moulder
from its power source before changing knives
and moulding cutters.
1. To Remove the wedge piece, loosen the gib
screws in the center gib using an Allen
wrench. Use the included brass punch and
tap the gib down into the cutterhead slot.
Figure 13. The wedge will then be loose and
can be removed. Figure 14. The gibs can
also be moved so the moulding cutters can be
installed on either end of the cutterhead.

cover. It has a fitting for attaching a 4" dust col-
lection hose.
To mount the dust collector chip chute:
1. Unplug the Planer/Moulder and turn if OFF.
Figure 15.
2. Using the hardware provided, mount the dust
collector chip chute.

guide plate and the planer knife tips. Before
moulding, it is very important to move the chip
guide plate away from the moulding knives.
Failure to do so will result in damage to the
Planer/Moulder.
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug the planer/moulder
and turn it OFF before changing the gear.
CAUTION: When moulding, be sure to move the
chip guide plate away to prevent it from being hit
by the moulding cutter knives.
To change the feed speed:
1. Remove the nut that secures the gearbox
cover and remove the cover.
The chip breaker can be moved by loosening the
wing nuts on top of the breaker. For moulding
operations, move the chip breaker to the far front
(toward the infeed side) position. For planing
operations, move the chip breaker to the far rear
position. Be sure to tighten the wing nuts after
moving the chip breaker.
2. Loosen the cap screw that holds the gears
onto their shafts.
3. Remove the gears.
4. Put the new gears on.

Feed Roller Adjustment
Stock Pre-sizing
Make sure the powerfeed rollers are lowered
from their stock setting. Do not lower the rollers
past the point at which the center of the roller axle
extends below the bottom edge of the headstock.
It is also recommended to tighten the spring ten-
sion adjusting nuts several rotations to firm-up
the down force on the board. This will encourage
smoother feeding and reduce the risk of kick
back. Refer to Figures 20 & 21 for a diagram of
the feed roller adjustment components.
It is extremely important to pre-cut all material so
that it is not more than 1⁄8'' wider than the finished
profile. Attempting to cut more than ⁄8'' off the
overall width can overload and break the knives
resulting in serious damage and/or injury. Stock
should be planed down to within 1⁄16'' of final thick-
ness.
1
CAUTION: Before turning on the Planer/Moulder
to make a first cut, raise the table up high enough
so that the board will be firmly pinched against
the table by the infeed roller. Failure to observe
this final step may create a potentially serious
kick back hazard.

Adjusting Scale
Belt Tension
For safe operation of your Planer/Moulder, it is
very important that the depth of cut scale is read-
ing accurately. To adjust the depth of cut scale,
follow the steps outlined below:
Proper belt tension is essential. Poor feeding of
the stock as well as premature belt wear can
occur if not properly tensioned. To adjust the ten-
sion:
1. Slightly loosen the three motor lock screws.
2. Place a wood block onto the upper stand.
3. Use a wood plank as a lever to shift the motor
WARNING: Always unplug the Planer/Moulder
from its power source. Never perform mainte-
nance procedures on your Planer/Moulder until it
has been disconnected from its power source.

⁄4'' deflection when belt is pressed with a fin-
ger.
4. Tighten down the three motor lock screws.
2. Compare the measured thickness of the
board to the reading on the depth of cut scale.
3. If the reading on the depth of cut scale is
incorrect, loosen the screw which tightens the
plastic pointer and adjust accordingly.
4. When you have properly adjusted the depth of
cut scale, test your reading by planning anoth-
er piece of lumber. After planing, measure the
planed thickness and double check it against
the scale reading. The two measurements

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Thickness Planing
Test Run
Thickness planing is the sizing of material to a
desired thickness, while creating a smooth sur-
face parallel to the opposite side of the board.
Before you test your Planer/Moulder give it a
quick inspection.
1. Are all fasteners tight?
The art of thickness planing consists mainly of
using good judgement about the depth of cut in
various situations. You must take into account not
only the width of the stock, but hardness of the
board, its moisture content, grain direction and
grain structure.
2. Are the mounting bolts secured to the
machine table top?
3. Is the Planer/Moulder oriented properly for
the type of job you will do?
4. Are each of the lock handles tightened
The effects of these factors upon the quality of
the finished work can only be learned through
experience. It is always advisable, whenever
working with a new type of wood, or one with
unusual problems, to make test cuts on scrap
material if possible prior to working on your fin-
ished piece.
securely?
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test
the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-
ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case
there’s a problem. The Planer/Moulder should
run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
To properly use your Planer/Moulder for thick-
ness planing:
1. Measure the thickest part of the board to be
planed. Turn the table raising hand lever until
the scale depth of cut reads the thickness of
the board to be planed. Each full turn of the
lever raises the bed just over 1⁄16''.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or
adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until
the machine is turned off, unplugged and all
working parts have come to a rest before you do
anything!
2. On boards less than 5'' wide, never plane
1
more than ⁄8'' at one time. On wider boards,
1
do not exceed ⁄16'' depth of cut. If the differ-
ence between the board thickness and your

desired finished thickness exceeds ⁄8'', you

must make several passes, taking off ⁄8'' or
less with each pass until the desired thickness
has been reached.

NOTE: It is recommended that you plane on both
sides of the board to reach the desired thickness.
That way, the moisture content will be uniform,
and the drying process will not warp the board.
Planing For Finish

For example, if you need to remove ⁄8'' to reach
Planing for a smooth finish as well as thickness is
best accomplished by taking light cuts on the
board. However, several other things are impor-
tant besides light cuts to achieve a smooth finish.
your desired thickness, it is recommended that
you remove 1⁄16'' from each side.
3. Stand to one side of the machine and start the
board under the infeed roller so that it travels
in a straight line. As the feed roller takes hold,
release infeed pressure and support the end
of the board. After half of the board has been
fed into the planer, walk around to the outfeed
side and support the other end of the board.
Remain standing to one side of the unit — not
in direct line with the board. The power feed
will complete the travel without further push-
ing or pulling.
Always feed the board in a direction that allows
the planer knives to cut with the run-out of the
grain. This aids the knife in severing the wood
fibers rather than lifting and tearing the fibers.
Torn fibers give a fuzzy appearance to the sur-
face. Feeding against the grain can also cause
your knife to lift large chips from the board’s sur-
face, creating a poor finish.
CAUTION: Never stand directly in line with your
workpiece, as kickback may result. Always stand
off to one side of your machine. Always wear
proper eye protection.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
General
Lubrication
1. The recommended lubrication for roller chains
used in medium to slow speed operation is to
simply wipe the chain clean. When there is an
appreciable build-up of dust, dirt or wood
shavings, use an oil cloth but never pour the
oil directly on the chain. Over-oiling defeats
the purpose of lubrication, since it simply
tends to hasten the collection of dust, shav-
ing, etc., and works into members of the
chain. This hastens wear and leads to prema-
ture replacement. This applies to the speed
reduction and height adjustment chains as
well.
Build-up of sawdust and other debris can cause
your machine to plane and mould inaccurately.
Periodic cleaning and waxing is not only recom-
mended, but mandatory for precision planing and
moulding.
1. Close-fitting parts, such as gibs and the plan-
er cutterhead slots should also be wiped with
an oily cloth and freed from clinging foreign
matter and then replaced in their respective
positions. Do not soak these parts in oil.
2. Occasional use of paste wax on the bed will
prevent rust and reduce friction to ease feed-
ing. However, too much paste wax will rub off
onto the planed wood and prevent proper
staining and finishing. Do not use silicone
based lubricants or polishes. They will create
''fisheyes'' in any subsequent finish that is
applied.
2. The bearings on the cutterhead are factory
lubricated and sealed. They require no further
attention.
3. Remove resin and other accumulations from
feed rollers and the bed with a nonflammable
solvent such as a saw cleaner.
4. Periodically check all the chains and sprock-
ets for wear. When worn, replace as a set.
