Safety Instructions For Power Tools
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.
Keep tools sharp and clean for
best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
for the tool. Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition.
Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The
amperage rating should be listed on
the motor or tool nameplate. An
undersized 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.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-
vicing and changing accessories,
such as blades, bits, cutters, and
the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNIN-
TENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure switch is in off position before
plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCES-
SORIES. Consult the owner’s
manual for recommended acces-
sories. The use of improper acces-
sories may cause risk of injury.

to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.

ELECTRICAL & ADJUSTMENTS
Width Of Cut
Electrical
The width of cut is adjustable. The width of
cut can be set using the included fence
shown in Figure 5. Use the threaded knob
to secure the fence bracket to the side of
the planer. Loosen the wing nut and slide
the fence back and forth. Use the scale on
the fence bracket to set the desired width
of cut.
The Model H3141 draws approximately 6
amps when operating at 110 volts. Be sure
your power source is 110 volts and capa-
ble of handling a 6 amp current. The plug
on the Model H3141 is a 2 prong double
insulated style and should only be plugged
into a grounded power outlet. If you are
unsure about your electrical system, con-
tact a qualified electrician.
Unplug the planer from the power
source before performing any adjust-
ments or maintenance. Failure to fol-
low this warning could result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Dust Bag
A dust collection bag is included with the
H3141 Planer. A significant amount of
shavings can be expelled from the planer
during operation. Attaching the dust bag
will reduce the amount of clean-up
required and will provide a safer environ-
ment for the operator.
Figure 5. Fence assembly.
Depth Stop
The final cut depth on rabbeting operations
can be set using the adjustable depth stop
shown in Figure 6. Loosen the lock lever
and slide the depth stop to the desired final
depth on the scale. Re-lock the lever to
secure the depth stop.
Depth Of Cut
The depth of cut is adjustable. To increase
the depth of cut turn the depth control knob
(Figure 4) clockwise. To decrease the
depth of cut turn the depth control knob
counterclockwise.

OPERATION
Planing
1. Unplug the planer from the power
source!
Failure to wear safety glasses while
operating the grinder could cause
serious personal eye injury.
2. Set the planer on a flat surface such
as a workbench.
5. Plug the planer into a suitable power
source. Review the Electrical sec-
tion.
3. Turn the depth control knob until both
the infeed and outfeed soles are flat
against the workbench.
6. If the fence will be used, attach the
fence to the planer and adjust it to the
desired width of cut.
4. While keeping the outfeed sole flat
against the workbench, turn the depth
control knob to raise the infeed sole off
of the workbench. Note–The differ-
ence in height between the infeed and
outfeed soles will be the depth of cut
(See Figure 7).
7. Make sure all knobs are secure.
8. The planer is ready to be operated!

MAINTENANCE
Blades Changes
4. Using an allen wrench, loosen the 2
set screws in the blade holder.
Periodically the blades will become dull.
Dull blades increase the load on the planer
and can reduce its usable lifespan. When
you notice the blade performance begin to
decrease, change the blades.
5. Retract the side blade guard and slide
the blade and blade holder out of the
cutterhead.
6. Using a small flat head screwdriver,
push the blade out from the end of the
blade holder.
Unplug the planer from the power
source before performing any main-
tenance. Failure to follow this warn-
ing could result in serious personal
injury.
7. Once removed, you will notice 2 cut-
ting edges on each blade. Turning the
blades reveals the new cutting edge.
8. Re-insert the blade into the blade hold-
er so the new edge will be revealed.
New blades can be purchased in the
current Grizzly Catalog as Part
#H4999.
1. Unplug the planer from the power
source!
2. Use extreme caution when working
around the sharp blade edge.
9. Re-install the blade holder into the cut-
3. Using the open end wrench, loosen the
3 gib bolts (Figure 8) on the blade
holder.
terhead.
10. Set a straightedge across the outfeed
sole and over the cutterhead.
11. Rotate the cutterhead so the blade
edge is at the top-dead-center of its
rotation shown in Figure 9.
Figure 8. 3 gib bolts.
Figure 9. Top dead center position.
-7-
H3141 Heavy-Duty Planer
12. Using an allen wrench, adjust the set
screws in the cutterhead (Figure 10)
until the blade edge just touches the
straightedge (Figure 11) . Note–If the
blade edge is set lower than the out-
feed sole, the end of the workpiece will
not pass smoothly onto the outfeed
sole. If the blade edge is set higher
than the outfeed sole, accurate planing
results will not be achieved.
Cog Belt
To replace the cog belt (Figure 12), loosen
the phillips screws on the belt cover and
set the belt cover aside. To remove the
belt, turn the belt and pull it off the pulley at
the same time. To install the belt, place the
belt over the large pulley first, then pull and
turn the belt onto the smaller pulley.
Figure 12. Cog belt.
Figure 10. Setting cutter height.
Motor Brushes
To replace the motor brushes, loosen the
phillips screws on the vented motor cover
and set the motor cover aside. Remove the
brush holders and brushes, and replace
with new ones as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 11. Correctly adjusted cutter.
13. The edge of the outfeed and infeed
soles should be aligned with the edge
of the blade. Adjust if necessary.
14. Using the open-end wrench, tighten
the 3 gib bolts to secure the blade
holder into position.
Figure 13. Changing motor brushes.
15. Recheck the blade holder alignment
and blade height using a straightedge,
16. Repeat the blade changing process for
the second blade.
