Safety Instructions for Machinery
-10- G0603X 25" Extreme Series Planer
Additional Safety Instructions for Planers
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
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 per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
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.
1. REACHING INSIDE PLANER. Never reach
inside planer or remove covers when the
planer is connected to power.
2. 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
during operation to prevent serious injury.
3. BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING.
The workpiece may kick out during opera-
tion. To avoid getting hit, stand to the side
of the planer during the entire operation.
4. PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only
plane natural wood stock with this planer.
DO NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or
other synthetic products.
5. 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.
6. 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 during operation.
7. WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Always verify
workpiece has enough room to exit the plan-
er before starting.
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 ........................1⁄8"
• Minimum Board Length ......................10"
• Minimum Board Thickness .................. 1⁄2"
• Maximum Number of Boards
at One Time ........................................... 1
9. CLEAN STOCK. Planing stock with nails,
staples, or loose knots MAY cause debris
to kick out at the operator and WILL dam-
age your cutters when they contact the
cutterhead. 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 CUTTERS. The planer
may kick out a workpiece at the operator or
give poor finish results if it is operated with
dull or damaged cutters.
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.
G0603X 25" Extreme Series Planer -11-
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the setup pro-
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until instructed to do so.
220/440V 3-Phase
Amperage Draw
The Model G0603X features a 220/440V motor
that is prewired for 220V and draws the following
amps under maximum load:
Motor Draw at 220V ............................. 38 Amps
Motor Draw at 440V ............................. 24 Amps
Circuit Requirements
We recommend connecting your machine to a
dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for
the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit
breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher
amperage without consulting a qualified electri-
cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If
you are unsure about the wiring codes in your
area or you plan to connect your machine to a
shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.
220V Circuit ...........................................50 Amps
440V Circuit ...........................................30 Amps
Connection to Power
Have a qualified electrician hardwire this machine
to a dedicated locking shut-off switch that is con-
nected to the main power source.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding
wire in the power cord must be properly connected
to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the
outlet must be properly installed and grounded.
All electrical connections must be made in accor-
dance with local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor increases the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of
our service personnel if you do not understand
the grounding instructions, or if you doubt the
machine is properly grounded.
Grounding
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not installed correctly or
the electrical installation
does not comply with local
and state codes. Ensure
compliance by using a
qualified electrician for the
electrical installation!
When using a phase converter, the power from
the manufactured power leg (sometimes called
the wild wire) can fluctuate. Connect the manu-
factured power leg to the S terminal to prevent
damage to the transformer. The wire from the S
terminal can handle some fluctuation because it
goes directly to the motor. The power going to the
R and T terminals goes to the transformer and
must be consistent to prevent damage.
Phase Converter
Figure 5. Example of locking shut-off switch.
-12- G0603X 25" Extreme Series Planer
This procedure must be done by a qualified elec-
trician before the planer is connected to the power
source. Refer to the Wiring Diagrams included
with this manual, starting on Page 48.
The necessary overload relays for changing the
Model G0603X from 220V to 440V are included
with the planer.
To rewire the Model G0603X for 440V opera-
tion:
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE
POWER SOURCE!
2. Open the main electrical box on the right side
of the planer and locate the voltage trans-
former shown in Figure 6.
Rewiring to 440V 3. At the voltage transformer, remove the "R"
wire connected to the “220” terminal and
connect that wire to the “440” terminal (see
Figure 7).
4. Replace the cutterhead overload relay (see
Figure 6) with the included 440V overload
relay that has an amperage dial range of
17–24.
5. Set the 440V cutterhead overload relay dial
to 20.
6. Replace the table overload relay (see Figure
6) with included 440V overload relay that has
an amperage dial range of 0.5–2.
7. Set the 440V table overload relay dial to 1.
8. Open the rear motor access panel and
remove the motor wiring covers from the
cutterhead/feed motor and the table motor.
9. Rewire the motors for 440V as shown on the
diagrams inside of the motor wiring covers.
Note: See the wiring diagrams on Page 48
as an additional reference.

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding con-
tact 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. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when using any type
of cleaning product.
These Items are coated and must be cleaned:
1. Cutterhead
2. Feed Rollers
3. Table
4. Table Ways
5. Infeed and Outfeed Extension Wings and
Wing Mounting Surfaces
Site ConsiderationsClean Up
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could cause
an explosion or fire if
used to clean machinery.
DO NOT use gasoline or
petroleum products to
clean the machinery.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol-
vents could cause seri-
ous personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.
-16- G0603X 25" Extreme Series Planer
Lifting and Moving
The Model G0603X weighs 2217 lbs. (ship-
ping weight). You will need power lifting
equipment and assistance to remove this
machine from the pallet and position it.
Inspect all lifting equipment and make sure
that all is in perfect working order and is
rated for the load before attempting to lift
and move this planer. Ignoring this warn-
ing may lead to serious personal injury or
death.
Read this entire SETUP section before attempting
to lift and move the planer. Pay special attention to
Site Considerations on Page 15 and Mounting
to Shop Floor on Page 17.
To lift and move the planer:
1. Remove sides and top of the shipping crate.
2. Position the lifting straps on the lifting hooks
as illustrated in Figure 10. Make sure the
straps are not in contact with any controls,
wires, or handles.
4. Position lifting straps, your lifting device, and
your assistant to support the planer in a verti-
cal and stable position.
5. Unbolt the planer from the pallet.

The Model G0603X should be mounted to the
floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (see Figure 11)
and anchor studs (see Figure 12) are two popular
methods for anchoring an object to a concrete
floor. We suggest you research the many options
and methods for mounting your machine and
choose the best that fits your specific application.
Mounting to Shop
Floor
Figure 11. Typical lag shield anchor and lag bolt.
Figure 12. Typical anchor stud.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
To mount the planer to the floor:
1. With the planer securely resting on the floor,
shim between the floor and planer base as
required to level the planer table.
2. Secure the planer to the floor, but DO NOT
overtighten the fasteners.
3. Recheck the table to make sure that it is still
level, and re-shim as required.
4. When the planer is level and all gaps are
shimmed, securely tighten the mounting
bolts.
NOTICE
Shims may be required when mounting the
planer to the floor. If the floor is uneven
and you tighten the mounting bolts without
shims, you can crack the cast iron base.
