What to do if my Grizzly Planer motor stalls and blows fuses?
- B
  Brittany CampbellAug 19, 2025
  If your Grizzly Planer motor stalls, resulting in blown fuses or a tripped circuit, the possible causes are: a short circuit in the motor or loose connections, low voltage, incorrect fuses or circuit breakers in the power line, or the motor is overloaded. To resolve this: Inspect the connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Correct any low voltage conditions. Install the correct fuses or circuit breakers. Reduce the load on the motor.

- R
  Richard MurphyAug 23, 2025
  If your Grizzly Planer is loud when cutting and overheats or bogs down, it could be due to an excessive depth of cut or dull knives. Decrease the depth of cut and sharpen the knives.

Why is my Grizzly G1021Z machine slowing down?
- B
  Brandon WardAug 26, 2025
  If your Grizzly Planer slows down during operation, it could be because the feed rate is too high, or the depth of cut is too great. Try feeding the workpiece slower or reducing the depth of cut.

What to do if my Grizzly G1021Z motor won't start and the fuses blow?
- S
  sbakerAug 30, 2025
  If the Grizzly Planer motor will not start and the fuses or circuit breakers blow, the possible causes are: a short circuit in the line cord or plug, a short circuit in the motor or loose connections, or incorrect fuses or circuit breakers in the power line. Inspect the cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Inspect all connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.

Why is my Grizzly Planer making a loud, repetitious noise?
- K
  kevinmooreSep 2, 2025
  If there's a loud, repetitious noise coming from your Grizzly Planer, it could be due to missing or loose pulley setscrews or keys, the motor fan hitting the cover, or a defective V-belt. Inspect the keys and setscrews, and replace or tighten if necessary. Tighten the fan or shim the cover. Replace the V-belt. See Maintenance.

What to do if there is chip buildup on the outfeed roller of my Grizzly G1021Z Planer?
- S
  Shaun RiosSep 3, 2025
  If you notice chip buildup on the outfeed roller of your Grizzly Planer, it's likely that chips are working their way back under the chip deflector. To fix this, lay duct tape over the mounting bolts along the outside edge to seal any possible gaps.

Why does my Grizzly Planer howl on startup?
- T
  Timothy PriceSep 6, 2025
  If your Grizzly Planer howls on startup, it's likely that the chip deflector is too close to the cutterhead. Move the chip deflector back 1/8" to 1/4" from the cutterhead.

Why are infeed roller marks left on the workpiece by my Grizzly G1021Z Planer?
- J
  Justin NguyenSep 8, 2025
  If infeed roller marks are left on the workpiece when using your Grizzly Planer, the depth of cut may be too shallow. Increase the depth of cut.
