INTRODUCTION

This manual illustrates the stand with roller extension tables assembled to a Delta DC-380 15″ Planer. The accessory heavy-duty steel planer stand not only gives a stable support surface for the 15″ planer, but is equipped with two roller extension tables that provide added work support and prevent sniping of the wood when planing longer workpieces. Each table features four (4) large 2-1/4″ diameter rollers which will allow smoother, easier infeed and outfeed operations.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING

Your 15″ planer stand with roller extension tables is shipped in one container. Carefully remove the protective coating from the machined surfaces of the extension tables. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene. DO NOT USE ACETONE, GASOLINE OR LACQUER THINNER FOR THIS PURPOSE. Figure 2, illustrates the components of the stand. Figure 3 illustrates the components of the roller extension tables.

ASSEMBLING PLANER TO STAND

1. Carefully lift the planer (E) Fig. 5, onto the stand (B) as shown. CAUTION: EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN

WHEN LIFTING THE PLANER ONTO THE STAND AS THE CUTTERHEAD KNIVES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP AND THE PLANER IS VERY HEAVY. IF IT IS NOT DONE MECHANICALLY, A MINIMUM OF FOUR PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO MANUALLY LIFT THE MACHINE.

2. Align the four holes in the bottom of the planer (E) Fig. 5, with the mounting holes in the top of stand (B), and mount the planer to the stand with four M8 x 30MM hex head screws (F) Fig. 5, lockwashers and flange nuts. NOTE: Screws (F) Fig. 6, one of which is shown, are started upward from the inside of stand (B). Later planer models may not need flange nuts.

3. Once the planer is assembled to the stand, push down on top of the planer so the legs of the stand adjust to the floor surface. Tighten all stand mounting

hardware.

ASSEMBLING STAND

1. Assemble the two longer support brackets (A) Fig. 4, one of which is shown, to the inside of end panels (B) with eight 5/16-18 x 3/4″ carriage head screws (C), flat washers, and 5/16-18 hex nuts. DO NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN HARDWARE AT THIS TIME.

2. Assemble the two shorter support brackets (D) Fig. 4, to the inside top of end panels (B) with the remaining eight 5/16-18 x 3/4″ carriage head screws (C), flat washers and 5/16-18 hex nuts. DO NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN HARDWARE AT THIS TIME. NOTE: Make certain the top lip of support brackets (D) are positioned under the top lips of end panels (B) as shown in Fig. 4.

ASSEMBLING SUPPORT BRACKETS TO ROLLER EXTENSION TABLES

1. Place extension table (A) Fig. 7, on a firm supporting surface. Align ends of support assembly (B) Fig. 7, with slotted holes (C) at both sides of extension table (A), and fasten support bracket assembly to extension table with two 1/4-20 x 3/4″ hex head screws and flat washers (D). IMPORTANT: In the position shown in Fig. 7, make certain the longer side of notches (E) will be closest to hinge (F) of support table.

2. Assemble the remaining support bracket to other extension table in the same manner.

ASSEMBLING ROLLER EXTENSION TABLES TO PLANER AND STAND

1. Assemble bracket clips (A) and leg support (F) Fig. 8, to the front and rear lower stand brackets (B), one of which is shown assembled, with two 1/4-20 x 3/4″ hex head screws (C), four flat washers (D) and two 1/4-20 hex nuts (E). Adjustment to height of clip can be made later.

2. Align the three holes in the hinge of extension table (G) Fig. 9, with three holes in the front of the planer base (H) and loosely fasten the extension table to the planer as shown with three M6 x 20MM hex flange screws (K) and flange nuts. NOTE: Only finger tighten the three screws at this time as height adjustment to the table will be necessary as explained later in STEP 4. Later planer models may not need flange nuts.

3. Place the notches at the bottom of extension table support (B) Fig. 10, so the longer edge of the support rests on the ledge of bottom support bracket (L) as shown. Adjust bracket clip (A) so it contacts the horizontal support bar (M). Tighten screw (N) after adjustment is made.

NOTE: Clip (A) acts as a safety device so the extension table will not fall accidentally during operation of the planer. Assemble the remaining roller extension table to the rear of the planer in the same manner.

4. IMPORTANT: Make certain the rollers on the extension tables are level with the table surface of the planer. This will provide maximum work support and prevent sniping of the wood being planed.

5. Place a straight edge (P) Fig. 11, on the table surface and extending out of the entire surface of the table extension rollers as shown. Align the two surfaces and carefully tighten three screws (K) Fig. 9, that are holding the extension table to the base of the planer. Readjust bracket clip (A) if necessary.

6. When not in use, the roller extension tables (G) Fig. 12, one of which is shown, can be lowered in front and back of the planer to prevent accidental movement, which could result in misalignment of the rollers. To lower the tables, raise the end of extension table (G) Fig. 13, slightly to relieve pressure on the table support (B) and move the table support inward away from clip (A), while lowering extension table (G).

7. Fig. 14, illustrates the stand with roller extension tables assembled to a Delta 15″ DC-380 Planer.
