Adjusting/Replacing
Knives (Planer)
Cutterhead knives are extremely sharp.
Accidental contact with knives can result in
severe cuts. Take great caution whenever
working with or around cutterhead knives.
Wear heavy leather gloves to reduce risk of
severe cuts.
To maintain accurate and consistent plan-
ing results, we do not recommend sharpen-
ing knives yourself. Instead, just replace
dull knives or have them professionally
sharpened.
Setting the height of the knives correctly is cru-
cial to the proper operation of your planer and
is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If
one knife protrudes higher than the others, it will
do the majority of the work, dull much faster, and
produce poor cutting results.
Note: If you need to replace or sharpen a knife,
you can remove the knife from the cutterhead dur-
ing
Step 4 of the following procedure. Thoroughly
clean out any debris from the knife slots before
replacing the knives.
Replacement knives are available through Grizzly
(refer to
Page 37 for options).
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.

properly re-tension.
