SECTION 3: INTRODUCTION

Commentary

We are proud to offer these four models of the Model G1182 6" Jointer. These machines are part of a growing Grizzly family of fine woodworking machinery. When used according to the guide- lines set forth in this manual, you can expect years of trouble-free, enjoyable operation and proof of Grizzly’s commitment to customer satis- faction.

The Model G1182 Jointer Series all feature 1 H.P. TEFC motors driving a three-knife cutterhead at 5000 R.P.M. The knives are high speed steel, resharpenable, and are adjusted by means of jack screws or springs, making blade setting quick and easy. The infeed and outfeed tables are ground cast iron and are mounted on dovetailed ways with adjustable gibs.

Depending upon the model you selected, table height is adjustable by means of levers or hand- wheels. The operator controls on the Model G1182ZX are conveniently mounted on a pedestal above the tables. The Z-Series models incorporate a one piece cabinet style stand and a dust hood for easy connection to a dust collection system.

We are also pleased to provide this universal manual covering all of the G1182 models. It was written to guide you through assembly, review safety considerations, and cover general operat- ing procedures. It represents our effort to produce the best documentation possible.
