Additional Safety Instructions for Planers

1.INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This machine presents significant safety hazards to untrained users. Read/understand this entire manual before starting the planer.

2.REACHING INSIDE PLANER. Never reach inside planer or remove covers when the planer is connected to power.

3.INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed roller is designed to pull material into the cutterhead. Always keep hands, clothing, and long hair away from the infeed roller dur- ing operation to prevent serious injury.

4.BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING. The workpiece may kick out during operation. To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the planer during the entire operation.

5.PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane natural wood stock with this planer. DO NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or other synthetic products.

6.GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the grain is hard on the planer and may cause the workpiece to kick out. Always plane in the same direction or at a slight angle with the wood grain.

7.LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips fly around inside the planer at a high rate of speed. DO NOT look inside the planer or remove guards/covers when the planer is connected to power or during operation.

8.CUTTING LIMITATIONS. The planer may kick out a workpiece at the operator or be damaged if pushed beyond these limits.

Maximum Depth of Cut ...................... 18"

Maximum Width of Cut ..................... 12"

Minimum Board Length..................... 12"

Maximum Board Thickness ................ 8"

9.CLEAN STOCK. Only plane clean stock. Planing stock with nails, staples, or imbed- ded stone will damage your inserts/knives, and may cause a fire hazard if the dust col- lector captures sparks or hot particles that have contacted the inserts/knives. Always thoroughly inspect and prepare stock to avoid these hazards.

10.REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES. To avoid serious injury, always stop the plan- er and disconnect power before removing jammed workpieces.

11.DULL/DAMAGED INSERTS/KNIVES. The planer may kick out a workpiece at the oper- ator or give poor finish results if it is operated with dull or damaged inserts/knives.

12.UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS. When connected to power, the planer can be accidentally turned ON. Always discon- nect power when servicing or adjusting the components of the planer.

13.WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Always verify workpiece has enough room to exit the plan- er before starting.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

G0633/G0634 specifications

The Grizzly G0633 and G0634 models are two impressive machines in the realm of woodworking and metalworking equipment. Both models have gained a loyal following among woodworkers and metal fabricators for their exceptional performance, reliability, and innovative features.

One of the most prominent characteristics of the Grizzly G0633 is its robust build quality. Constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, this bandsaw promises durability and stability during operation, minimizing vibrations and ensuring clean, precise cuts. The G0634, an evolution of the G0633, offers enhanced features that cater to both hobbyists and professionals in various industries.

Both models boast powerful motors that ensure smooth and efficient operation. The G0633 is equipped with a 1 HP motor, while the G0634 comes with a more robust 1.5 HP option, allowing for deeper cuts and handling denser materials. This increased power translates to faster material removal rates and improved productivity on the shop floor.

The G0633/G0634 features a dual-speed function, allowing users to adjust the blade speed according to the material being processed. This flexibility is crucial for achieving optimal results on different materials, whether it's hardwood, softwood, or non-ferrous metals. Additionally, the blade guides on both models are precision-engineered, ensuring minimal friction and longer blade life.

Another standout feature is the large cutting capacity these machines offer. The G0633 provides a resounding 12 inches of throat depth, while the G0634 expands this to 14 inches. This increased capacity is a significant advantage for users tackling larger projects or working with oversized stock.

For user convenience, both models are designed with easy adjustments in mind. The quick-release blade tensioning system simplifies blade changes, while the height-adjustable table enhances user ergonomics. The tables are also made of high-quality cast iron, providing a stable surface for workpieces.

Incorporating advanced safety features, the G0633 and G0634 prioritize operator protection. Each model is equipped with a blade brake system that halts blade movement almost instantaneously when the safety switch is triggered. This is a critical function for preventing accidents during operation.

Ultimately, the Grizzly G0633 and G0634 stand out in the market for their excellent balance of power, versatility, and safety. With their outstanding cutting capabilities and engineered precision, these bandsaws are excellent choices for any workshop aimed at producing high-quality workpieces. Whether for a professional environment or a dedicated hobby shop, both the G0633 and G0634 continue to meet and exceed the expectations of craftsmen and creators everywhere.
