Grizzly G0500 instruction manual Squaring Stock

•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.

•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.

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:

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.
