Model G1033X (Mfg. since 4/10)

The G1033X table moves approximately 1⁄16" with one turn of the handwheel.

The basic steps of operating the planer are as follows:

1.Put on safety glasses.

2.Unless your workpiece is very flat, surface plane the workpiece on a jointer until it is flat—having the face flat will ensure that it sits flat on the planer table during operation.

3.Adjust the table height to slightly lower than your workpiece height to ensure the first cut is as light as possible (approximately 1⁄32"–1⁄16") .

4.Start the planer.

5.Place the flat side of the board down on the table, and feed the workpiece through the planer, making sure not to stand directly in front or behind the workpiece to avoid kick- back injury.

—If the cut is too heavy and bogs down the planer, turn the planer OFF immediately, allow it to come to a complete stop, remove the workpiece, and repeat Steps 3–5.

6.Measure your workpiece thickness and adjust the table height as necessary to take a lighter or heavier pass, depending on your needs. For most wood types, 1⁄16" per pass is a good cutting depth.

Note: Any time you switch directions with the handwheel, there will be a small amount of backlash—so the first crank of the handwheel after switching directions will be slightly less than 1⁄16". However, as long as you move the handwheel in the same direction during operation, backlash will not be a factor.
