Safety Instructions For Power Tools

WARNING

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubri-

cating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing

and changing accessories, such as blades,

bits, cutters, and the like.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL

STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-

tion before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recom-

mended accessories. The use of improper

accessories may cause risk of injury.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further

use of the tool, a guard or other part that is

damaged should be carefully checked to

determine that it will operate properly and

perform its intended function. Check for

alignment of moving parts, binding of mov-

ing parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and

any other conditions that may affect its oper-

ation. A guard or other part that is damaged

should be properly repaired or replaced.

19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a

blade or cutter against the direction of rota-

tion of the blade or cutter only.

20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave

tool until it comes to a complete stop.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. When using an extension cord, be

sure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or

better. Conductor size must be 16 A.W.G.

for cords up to 100 feet in length. An under-

sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Your extension cord must also contain a

ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or

replace extension cords if they become

damaged. Minimum Gage for extension

cord: 12 A.W.G. 50ft

10 A.W.G. 100ft

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear

is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-

ering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have

impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safe-

ty glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to

hold work when practical. It’s safer than

using your hand and frees both hands to

operate tool.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times.

Additional Safety Instructions For Planers

WARNING

CAUTION

No list of safety guidelines can be com-

plete. Every shop environment is different.

Always consider safety first, as it applies to

your individual working conditions. Use

this and other machinery with caution and

respect. Failure to do so could result in

serious person injury, damage to equip-

ment or poor work results.

WARNING

Like all power tools, there is danger asso-

ciated with the Model G1021 15" Planer.

Use the tool with respect and caution to

lessen the possibility of mechanical dam-

age or operator injury. If normal safety pre-

cautions are overlooked or ignored.

Serious personal injury may occur.

WARNING

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses

or goggles and hearing protection when

operating equipment. Do not allow visitors

into your workshop when testing or operat-

ing equipment unless similarly equipped.

Serious personal injury may occur.

1. Ensure that the machine sits firmly on the

floor before use. Any “wobbles” must be

corrected by shimming or blocking before

operation.

2. This machine is not designed to process

any other material except wood.

3. Never position fingers or thumbs near the

infeed roller.

4. Long stock should always be fully support-

ed by some type of support fixture.

5. Do not operate planer with dull or damaged

knives.

6. Ensure that the planer is properly adjusted

before using.

7. Do not remove excessive amounts of

wood in a single pass.

8. Inspect your stock before planing. Reject

stock with defects and foreign material.

9. Do not attempt to remove jams until power

is disconnected and all moving parts have

come to a complete stop.

10. Provide adequate infeed and outfeed

space for operating the planer.

11. Do not plane wood less than 12" long and

1⁄4" thick.

12. Do not plane lumber with loose knots or

knots that may become loose during

planing.

-8- G1021 15" Planer

220V Operation

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

The G1021 Planer motor is wired to operate at

220V only. A cordset without a 220V plug is

included with the Model G1021. Plugs and recep-

tacles can be purchased at your local hardware

store or home center. When connecting to 220V,

ensure that the electrical circuit is in fact a 220V

circuit. Contact your local electrical contractor if

uncertain about converting to 220V operation.

When operating at 220V, we recommend using a

NEMA-style 6-15 plug and outlet as depicted in

Figure 1. You may also “hard-wire” the planer

directly to your panel, provided you place a dis-

connect switch near the machine. Check the

electrical codes in your area for specifics on

wiring requirements.

Under normal load, the Model G1021 draws

about 12 amps. We recommend a 15-amp circuit

or a 20-amp slow-blow fuse. A circuit rated any

higher will not adequately protect the motor.

Equipment returned to us for service that shows

evidence of being over-fused will be repaired or

replaced totally at the customer’s expense,

regardless of the present warranty status.

Fusing If used, extension cords must be rated hard ser-

vice – grade S – or better. Conductor size must

be 12 AWG for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your

extension cord must also contain a ground wire

and plug pin. To ensure safe and dependable

machine performance, inspect cords frequently

for wear or damage. Replace or repair the cord

immediately if evidence of damage is apparent.

Extension Cords

Grounding

WARNING

This equipment must be grounded. Please

ensure that this machine is continuously

grounded from the motor to the machine frame

and then to a known ground. Verify that any

existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend

to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it

will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G.

copper grounding wire from the outlet to a

known ground. Under no circumstances should

the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug

be removed. Serious injury may occur.

Figure 1. NEMA 6-15 220V/15A connector.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-

rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-

ing an equipment-grounding conductor. The out-

let must be properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Unpacking

The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a

carefully packed carton. If you find the machine to

be damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and

the truck and driver are already gone, you will

need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save

the containers and all packing materials for

inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without

the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be

difficult. If you need advice regarding this situa-

tion, please call us immediately.

WARNING

The G1021 is a heavy machine with a 475 lb.

shipping weight. DO NOT over-exert your-

self while unpacking or moving your

machine – get assistance. In the event that

your planer must be moved up or down a

flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are

capable of supporting the combined weight

of people and the machine. Failure to use

care while assembling or moving could

result in serious personal injury.
