NOTICE
Safety Instructions for Machinery
SECTION 1: SAFETY

Model G0454ZX (Mfd. Since 06/23) -9-
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate-
rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-
ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica-
tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur-
ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-
ommended accessories. Using improper acces-
sories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-
ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

-10- Model G0454ZX (Mfd. Since 06/23)
Additional Safety for Planers
Amputation, serious cuts, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating
cutterhead or other moving parts! Flying chips can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces
or knives thrown by cutterhead can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To
reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and
warnings below.
PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane
natural wood stock with this planer. DO NOT
plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other
synthetic materials that can break up inside the
planer and be ejected towards the operator.
LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips fly
around inside the planer at a high rate of speed
during operation. To avoid injury from flying mate-
rial, DO NOT look inside planer during operation.
CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce the risk of
kickback hazards or damage to the machine, do
not exceed the maximum depth of cut or minimum
board length and thickness found in the Data
Sheet. Only feed one board at a time.
INFEED ROLLER CLEARANCE. The infeed
roller is designed to pull material into the spinning
cutterhead. To reduce the risk of entanglement,
keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away
from the infeed roller during operation.
FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. To reduce the
risk of kickback, never start planer with workpiece
touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to reach
full speed before feeding, and do not change feed
speed during cutting operation.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce the risk of
kickback, always make sure workpiece can move
completely across table without rocking or tipping.
Use auxiliary support stands for long stock.
SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or
improperly set inserts can become dangerous
projectiles or cause machine damage. Always
verify knives/inserts are secure and properly
adjusted before operation.
KICKBACK. Know how to reduce risk of kickback
and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback” occurs
during operation when the workpiece is ejected
back through infeed side of machine at a high
rate of speed. Kickback is commonly caused by
poor workpiece selection, unsafe feeding tech-
niques, or improper machine setup/maintenance.
Kickback injuries typically occur as follows: (1)
operator/bystanders are struck by workpiece,
resulting in impact injuries (i.e., blindness, broken
bones, bruises, death); (2) operator’s hands are
pulled into blade from outfeed side, resulting in
amputation or severe lacerations.
AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS. Never
remove guards/covers or reach inside planer dur-
ing operation or while connected to power. You
could be seriously injured if you accidentally touch
spinning cutterhead or get entangled in moving
parts. If a workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust
removal is necessary, turn planer OFF, allow cut-
terhead to stop, disconnect power before clearing.
DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Only use
sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. Dull or dam-
aged knives/inserts increase the risk of kickback.
INSPECTING STOCK. To reduce the risk of
kickback injuries or machine damage, thoroughly
inspect and prepare the workpiece before cutting.
Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose
knots, or foreign material. Workpieces with minor
warping should be jointed first or planed with the
cupped side facing the table.
BODY PLACEMENT. Stand to one side of planer
during entire operation to avoid getting hit if kick-
back occurs.
GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across grain is hard
on planer and may cause kickback. Plane in same
direction or at a slight angle with wood grain.

Model G0454ZX (Mfd. Since 06/23) -11-
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the avail-
ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
Electrocution, fire, shock,
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
supply.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 220V ..... 22 Amps
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-
loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult an electrician if you are
unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con-
sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup-
ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Circuit Information
Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage ......... 208V, 220V, 230V, 240V
Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz
Phase ........................................... Single-Phase
Power Supply Circuit ......................... 30 Amps
Plug/Receptacle ...........................NEMA L6-30

-12- Model G0454ZX (Mfd. Since 06/23)
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size ...........................10 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!
No adapter should be used with plug. If

Cleanup
T23692—Orange Power Degreaser
A great product for removing the waxy ship-
ping grease from the non-painted parts of the
machine during clean up.

Call 1-800-523-4777
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preven-
tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoid
using these products
to clean machinery.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled. Only
work in a well-ventilated
area.
NOTICE
Avoid harsh solvents like acetone or brake
parts cleaner that may damage painted sur-
faces. Always test on a small, inconspicu-
ous location first.

Weight Load
Refer to the
Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-
tenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and lon-
gevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or
the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,
or bumps.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or
other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space
around machine to disconnect power supply or
apply a lockout/tagout device, if required.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.

Lifting & Placing
HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
Assembly
3. Thread (3) M8-1.25 x 16 set screws into each
extension wing (see Figure 9).
The machine must be fully assembled before it
can be operated. Before beginning the assembly
process, refer to
Needed for Setup
and gather
all
listed items. To ensure the assembly process
goes smoothly, first clean any
parts that are
cov-
ered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if
applicable).
Figure 8. Example of lifting planer with a forklift.
Lifting
Bar
(1 of 4)
Tip: When positioning the lift forks, place shop
rags or cardboard between the forks and the cabi-
net stand to avoid scratching the paint.
4. Using a straightedge as a guide, rotate set
screws installed in Step 2 until extension
wings are level and flush with planer table.
Note: Rest straightedge flat on table surface,
not on table rollers.
The Models G0454ZX requires the use of lift-
ing equipment such as a forklift, engine hoist, or
boom crane. DO NOT attempt to lift or move the
planer without the necessary assistance of other
people. Each piece of lifting equipment must be
rated for at least 1200 lbs. to support dynamic
loads that may be applied while lifting.
The cabinet stand of the planer is equipped with
four lifting bars that pull out in order to lift and
place the planer as shown in Figure 8 using a
forklift or lifting slings.
To assemble machine:
1. Unbolt planer from pallet and move to desired
location.
2. Attach each extension wing to planer table
with (3) M8-1.25 x 30 hex bolts and 8mm flat
washers, as shown in Figure 9. Hand-tighten
for now.
