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.
