Work Area

TO AVOID RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, FIRE AND SHOCK, MAKE SURE YOUR

WORK AREA IS:

Free of damp, wet or rainy conditions.

Free of children (never let them handle tools or machinery).

Well-lit, clean and uncluttered.

Before Operating

Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.

Before operating your Planer check for damaged parts. You should also check the feed rollers to be sure chips and sawdust are not caught in them. If the Rollers are not seated ﬁrmly, the Feed Rolls will not hold the stock ﬁrmly against the bed. This may result in kickback during operation.

Give the Planer a test run. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates irregularly, turn it off, unplug it and have the problem corrected by a qualiﬁed technician.

Make certain to turn off and unplug the Planer when doing any maintenance. The tool should always be turned off, unplugged when not in use and Guards kept in place and in working order.

Feed the work into the blade or cutter against the direction and rotation of the blade or cutter.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above. The 1. tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated above in 250 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same conﬁguration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualiﬁed service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

The 250 V~ plug does not come pre-installed and will need to be installed by a certiﬁed electrician.2.

The plug above is for use on a 15 A circuit. A different 250 V~ plug and outlet combination may be 3. used, provided it is rated to handle the electrical requirements of the tool and is installed by a certiﬁed electrician.

Assembly

Your Planer requires only limited assembly as indicated below; otherwise it is fully assembled. To assist you with assembly and operation please refer to the Assembly Diagram and Parts List located on pages 8,9,10 and 11. Lay out all parts onto a clear section of your workbench prior to assembly.

The Planer has four (4) legs so that it can be mounted to a table or a work bench. Each of these legs/1. angles (4) should be attached at one side (bottom corners) to the Planer and then 2 of the 5/16” bolts should be bolted onto the workbench with a washer between the Bolt and the workbench or table.

To put the Handle (part #150) onto the Planer, insert it into the hole on the right front side of the Planer 2. and press it into place. WARNING! Check blade setting and tightness before initial use.

Operation

When operating your Planer, refer to the Parts List and Assembly Diagram on the last pages of this manual.

Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. It is designed to do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Plane only wood boards.

After planing approximately 50 feet of material, stop machine and check Cutterhead Jib screws and blades for tightness.

Do not force feed your work through the machine. Allow the Planer to feed at the designated rate of feed.

Step 1) Use the Height Adjusting Handle (part #150) to set the blade height. Set the height according

to the indicating scale on the Planer beneath the Handle.

Note: This Planer is speciﬁcally designed for the planing of lumber. Before planing any lumber,

check for any foreign materials such as nails, screws, or hard impurities in the wood. Also check for loose knots in the wood. If not cleaned off these may cause damage to the blade or machine. Never make a Planer cut deeper than 1/8”.

When feeding your lumber, use a Push Block to feed the lumber, rather than using your

hands. The Push Block must be thinner than 3 inches.

Step 2) The ON and OFF switch is located on the front of the Planer. Press the GREEN button to

START the Planer, and RED button to turn the Planer OFF.

Step 3) The planing depth of the planer is controlled by turning the Handle and setting the depth of

the Planer by the Ruler. The settings on the Ruler run from 0” to 6”.

Step 4) Feed lumber through Planer. After each planing, you can use the Roller Bars on top of the

planer to roll the workpiece back to the Feed position, rather than carrying it back and forth.

Checking the Knife Gauge for Proper Height

Step 1) Loosen all screws. Place the knife gauge as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Use the wrench key and the turn screw (D) until the blade (C) touches the knife gauge.
