Grizzly G9740 instruction manual

8.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. The newspaper will act as a feeler gauge to help you know when the table is high enough. (Newspaper is about

.003" thick and is long enough for adequate access.)

9.Raise the table close to the knife/insert edge. Continue raising the table with the micro adjust knob while constantly checking for resistance on the newspaper. When you get a medium drag on the paper, stop raising the table and remove the newspaper.

This table position will now be your reference point from which to make the other adjust- ments.

10.Lower the feed rollers so they rest on the wood blocks. Back the adjustment bolts out another 1⁄8" (approximately).

11.Notice where the hairline indicator reads on the table height scale. With the micro-adjust- ment knob, lower the table approximately 1mm on the scale (1mm = .039").

12.On the right and left sides, raise the adjust- ment bolts up to the roller blocks and tighten the check nuts. Make sure the adjustment bolts do not move while tightening the check nuts.

13.Rotate the pressure bar down to its original position. On the pressure bar, back the stop bolts out enough so that the pressure bar rests on the wood blocks below.

14.Set the stop bolts so they barely touch the planer body and tighten the check nuts to keep them in place.

15.Replace the springs and nuts. Tighten the nuts down on the tension stud so that the top of the nut is approximately 1⁄4" from the top of the tension stud.

To set the feed rollers and pressure bar with a Rotacator®:

1.Make sure the planer is disconnected from power and the knives are adjusted properly.

2.Read the previous instructions about setting the feed rollers and pressure bar with wood blocks—this will familiarize you with how to access and adjust the feed rollers and pres- sure bar.

3.Engage the cutterhead lock.

4.Place the Rotacator® on the table, under- neath the cutterhead. Line up the Rotacator® plunger on the edge of the knife. Set the dial to .000" and lock in place.

5.Move the Rotacator® directly under the one side of the feed roller and set the plunger on a bottom dead center edge. Adjust the feed roller until the Rotacator® reads .040".

6.Repeat step 4 on each end of each feed roller. Double check for accuracy, then lock the check nuts in place.

7.Adjust the pressure bar using the same pro- cedure as with the feed rollers.
