• Maintain an adequate w or ki ng area arou nd th e machi n e for s a fety .
• Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
• Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
• Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
• It is important to maintain free area around the machine, which is required for the working
place. If any long material is machined, it is necessary to have a sufficient room in front of
the machine as well behind it in the places of material input and output.
•FLOOR: This machine distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain
that the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the
operator. The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place,
be sure to eliminate by using shims.
•WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
•POWER SUPPLY PLACEMEN T: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
WARNING: Before ope rating; make sure it is positioned firml y on a solid
level floor. If it tips over on you, it could cause severe injury or death.
•LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. The accuracy of any
machine depends on the precise placement of it to the mounting surface. Locate the planer
in an area that is level and provides a solid foundation. Make sure that any potential kickback
is not in line with aisles, doorways, wash stations or other work areas.
o Place shims under the four feet mounted in
the base as required for leveling.
There are four lifting handles (A) hidden in the bed of
the planer table. Pull the handles out for use and push
them in when not in use.

ELECTRICAL
CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITI ES CONNECTED TO M ACHINE BY
A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.
WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected
to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if
any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
Power Specifications
Your machine is wired for 220 volts, 60hz alternating current. Before connecting the machine to
the power source, make sure the power source is OFF.
Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if
they meet with the requirement, the allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency
is ±1%.
Considerations
• Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
• The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
• A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machine. Before connecting the motor to
the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric
current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine.
• All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor.
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.

CONTROL THE DEPTH OF CUTTING
CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, face
shield, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from, chips, dust, burrs, and
slivers.
The cutting depth scale is a combination of inch / metric
scale, the cutting range is from 0 to 8" (204 mm). The
distance between upward or downward of driving
handle is 0.059" (1.5mm) one complete turn.
Before adjusting the table upward, or downward; loosen
nut (A), after positioning to required position, tighten nut
(A) again to hold in position. (Fig. 5)

this procedure will release the tension of the chain.
Remove chain from sprocket on the end that must be
adjusted. When chain has to be released, do not turn
the sprocket more than one or two teeth. Turn sprocket
clockwise to decrease the di st anc e, and cou nter
clockwise to increase the distance between the head
casting and table.
All parallel adjustments have been made to table
before shipment, no further adjustments are
required. The only verification you should make is
to check indirectly the parallel of the cutter head
and table. Proceed with the following:
1. UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT PLANER FROM
POWER SOURCE AND LOCK OUT POWER.
2. Place gauge block between upper head
casting and table, make them contact slightly.
(Fig. 19).

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
Maintenance on your planer should be done at periodic intervals to ensure that the machine is
in good working order. Inspection and maintenance should be performed at least twice a year
but more often if the lathe receives constant use.
• Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
• Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
• Do a general cleaning by removing dust and chips from the machi n e.
• On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
• Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
• Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
• Check all fasteners to make sure they are tight and check all adjustments that they are in
order.
• Clean and oil the tables so that the material will slide easily. Clean any rust spots that may
develop on the bed with a commercial rust remover.
• Use compressed air to blow out the interior of the machine in order to keep chips and
sawdust from accumulating on the belts and pulleys.
• Check the drive belt for tightness. It should be snug but not overly tight.
• Use a mill file to remove any nicks or dings from the infeed or outfeed tables.
Note: When cleaning chips and debris from the machine, use a brush and a shop
vacuum. DO NOT blow off the machine with compressed air. The force of the compressed air
may force chips into critical mechanisms or may inflict injury to yourself or others.
