Grizzly G0612 owner manual Cleanup, Site Considerations, Mounting the Jointer

Cleanup

The unpainted cast iron surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thor- oughly, some parts may need to be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or slid- ing contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact.

Site Considerations

Consider the jointer dimensions and size of mate- rial to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your jointer. See Figure 6 for the Model G0612 over- head view dimensions.

Mounting the Jointer

Your Model G0612 jointer must be securely mounted to a sturdy workbench. There are two ways to do this—either with a direct mount or with a through mount. We strongly recommend a through mount. Whichever method you choose, mount the jointer through the four holes in its cast iron base. See Figures 7 and 8 for examples of direct and through mounts.
