POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a time delay fuse. NOTE: Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the US. If
an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching
receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the
switch (s) 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 machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120 V., 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
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.
Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that
accept the machine’ s plug, as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less
than 150 volts:
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks
like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as
shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the
like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw .
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

ADJUSTABLE INDEXING RING
The cutterhead adjusting handle has an adjustment ring (A)
Fig. 16. To use the adjustment ring to make fine
adjustments:
1. Measure the thickness of a planed board.
2. Set the zero position of the ring to align with the arrow .
3. Rotate the handle to the desired depth of cut, as
indicated on the ring. Each indicator on the ring is
equivalent to 1/128" (.2 mm) for making minute cuts.
4. Plane the workpiece.

BLADE ZERO INDICATOR
The blade zero indicator marks exactly where the
cutterhead and the workpiece make contact, and allows you to measure your cuts precisely. To set the indicator:
1. Push down on the zero indicator (A) Fig. 17 to engage.
2. Place the end of the board (B) Fig. 18 underneath the blade zero indicator (A).
3. Lower the cutterhead until the workpiece contacts the bottom of the zero indicator (A) Fig. 18
4. When the zero indicator has been contacted, it will disengage.
NOTE: Lower the cutterhead slowly when using the zero indicator so that the cutterhead does not go beyond the
disengagement spot.
Do not plane with the blade zero indicator engaged.

MACHINE USE
RECOMMENDED DEPTH OF CUT
NOTE: One revolution of the cutterhead adjusting
handle will move the cutterhead up or down 1/16"
(1.6 mm).
You can make an 1/8" (3.2 mm) depth of cut in soft
woods up to 6" wide and in hard woods up to 4"
(102 mm) wide. (See Fig. 23).
For 10" (254 mm), 12" (305 mm), and 13" (330 mm)
wide soft wood, use a maximum depth-of-cut of 1/16"
(1.6 mm). For 10" (254 mm), 12" (305 mm), and 13"
(330 mm) wide hard wood, use a maximum depth-of-cut
of 3/64" (1.2 mm) (Fig. 23).
IMPORTANT: A shallow depth-of-cut will produce a
better finish.
Continuous operation at more than 3/64"
(1.2 mm) can cause motor damage.

OPERATING HINTS
When using your machine, follow these few simple steps to achieve the best results.
1. True Up One Face – Feed one face of the board through a jointer. Make thin cuts with each pass until the entire
surface is flat.
2. Plane to Thickness – Place the surfaced side (STEP 1) face down and feed the board through a planer until
the opposite side is flat. Plane both sides of the board until you achieve your desired thickness. Make thin cuts,
alternating sides with each pass. If, during the planing operation, you notice the board twisting, warping or
bowing, start again with STEP 1.
3. Support both ends of the long workpieces.
4. For best results, engage the cutterhead lock before planing. Plane with the grain only. Keep the planer table clean.
Occasionally, wax the table surface to reduce friction during the planing operation.
5. Cross-cut your lumber to the final length.
The knives on the planer will not wear evenly if the wood is fed through the same spot on the table every
time. Feed the wood through the planer at different spots on the table when possible to help eliminate uneven wear of
the knives.

BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Disconnect machine from power source!
Brush life varies. It depends on the load on the motor. Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new
machine or after a new set of brushes has been installed. After the first check, examine them after about every 10
hours of use until replacement is necessary.
The brush holders, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 34, are located on the motor housing opposite each other. One of
the removed brushes is illustrated in Fig. 35. When the carbon (B) on either brush is wor n to 3/16" (4.8 mm) in length
or if either spring (C) or shunt wire is burned or damaged, replace both brushes. If the brushes are found serviceable
after removing, reinstall them.
