WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil-
ter out microscopic particles.

Additional Safety for Jointers
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 machines there is danger associ-
ated with the Model G0586. 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. JOINTER KICKBACK. "Kickback" is when
the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table
by the force of the cutterhead. Always use
push blocks and safety glasses to reduce
the likelihood of injury from “kickback.” If
you do not understand what kickback is,
or how it occurs, DO NOT operate this
machine.
2. CUTTERHEAD ALIGNMENT. Keep the top
edge of the outfeed table aligned with the
edge of the knife at top dead center (TDC)
to avoid kickback and personal injuries.
3. PUSH BLOCKS. Always use push blocks
whenever surface planing. Never pass your
hands directly over the cutterhead without a
push block.
4. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Supporting the
workpiece adequately at all times while
cutting is crucial for making safe cuts and
avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut
with an unstable workpiece.
5. KICKBACK ZONE. The "kickback zone"
is the path directly through the end of the
infeed table. Never stand or allow others to
stand in this area during operation.
6. MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. The maxi-
mum cutting depth for one pass is 1⁄8".
Never attempt any single cut deeper than
this!
7. JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing
against the grain or jointing end grain is
dangerous and could produce chatter or
excessive chip out. Always joint with the
grain.
8. KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. With the
exception of rabbeting, all operations must
be performed with the guard in place. After
rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.
9. PROPER CUTTING. When cutting, always
keep the workpiece moving toward the
outfeed table until the workpiece has passed
completely over the cutterhead. Never back
the work toward the infeed table.
10. USING GOOD STOCK. Jointing safety
begins with your lumber. Inspect your
stock carefully before you feed it over the
cutterhead. Never joint a board that has
loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have
any doubts about the stability or structural
integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!

Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to the power source
before you have completed the set up pro-
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until instructed to do so.
220V Single-Phase Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with a power cord that has a grounding
wire, which must be properly connected to the
grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet
must be properly installed and grounded. All elec-
trical connections must be made in accordance
with local codes and ordinances.
Amperage Draw
The 2 HP motor on the Model G0586 will draw
the following amps:
Motor Load at 220V ............................... 15 Amps
Circuit Requirements
Only connect your machine to a circuit that meets
the requirements below. Always check to see if
the wires and circuit breaker in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
Minimum Circuit Requirement .................20 Amp
Plug/Receptacle Type
Recommended Plug/Receptacle ....NEMA L6-20
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly
or if your electrical con-
figuration does not com-
ply with local and state
codes. Ensure compliance
by checking with a quali-
fied electrician!
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to
eliminate the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an
extension cord at 220V with your machine:
• Make sure the cord is rated for Standard
Service (grade S) or better.
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug prong.
• Use at least a 12 gauge cord and make sure
the cord is less than 50 feet long.

Floor Load
The Model G0586 weighs 418 lbs. and has a
base footprint of 171⁄2" x 23". Most floors are suit-
able for your machine. Some residential floors
may require additional reinforcement to support
both the machine and operator.
Working Clearances
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 5 for the Model G0586 over-
head dimensions.
Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could cause serious per-
sonal injury to themselves.
Lock all entrances to the
shop when you are away and
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!
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
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake
parts cleaner, as they may damage painted sur-
faces should they come in contact.
To access the sliding surfaces, remove the fence
lock nut (Figure 4) and handle, and remove the
fence from the jointer unit.
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.
