GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility. For additional information please visit our website www

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 THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
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 equipment­grounding 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 equipment­grounding 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. Make sure the knives are inserted into the cutterhead properly, as explained under “REPLACING KNIVES.”
3. Place the gage block (A) Fig. 34, on the table, over a
0.020" feeler gage and position the gage block (A) directly underneath the cutterhead. Raise or lower the head assembly and rotate the cutterhead, by following STEP 5 under “REPLACING KNIVES,” until one of the knives (B) just touches the top of the gage block when the knife is at its lowest point. Then tighten cutterhead lock handle.
4. Move the gage block (A) Fig. 35, minus the feeler gage, under one end of the outfeed roller (C) as shown. The bottom of the outfeed roller should just touch the top of the gage block.
5. If the height of the outfeed roller must be adjusted, loosen locknut (D) Fig. 35, and turn adjusting screw (E) until outfeed roller just touches the gage block (A). Tighten locknut after adjustment is made.
6. Repeat this adjustment on opposite end of outfeed roller (C) Fig. 35.
When using your machine, you may want to follow these few simple steps for achieving the best results possible.
1. T
rue Up One Face – Feed one face of the board over a jointer, making thin cuts with each pass, until the entire
surface is flat.
2. Plane to Thickness – Place the side you just surfaced in STEP 1 face down and feed the board through the planer, plane until this side is flat. Then plane both sides of the board until you are satisfied with the thickness, making thin cuts, alternating sides with each pass. If during the planing operation you notice the board twisting, warping or bowing, repeat STEP 1 and true up one face.
3. When planing long stock, provide table extensions to support the infeed and outfeed end of the workpiece.
4. For best results, always engage cutterhead lock before planing, plane with the grain only, and keep planer table clean. Occasionally, wax table surface to reduce friction during the planing operation.
5. Cr
oss-cut to Final Length – Cross-cut lumber to final length, to remove any snipe which may have occurred during
the planing operation.
NOTE: 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.

MAINTENANCE
BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
DIS
CONNECT 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. 36, are located on the motor housing opposite each other. Fig. 37, illustrates one of the brushes removed for in­spection. When the carbon (B) on either brush is worn to 3/16" in length or if either spring (C) or shunt wire is burned or damaged in any way, replace both brushes. If the brushes are found serviceable after removing, re­install them in the same position as removed.
LUBRICATION
The gears in the gear box and the feed roller bushings should be lubricated periodically, as follows:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
1. Remove two screws (A) Fig. 38, located on bottom of left side cover (B) of planer, and remove left side cover.
2. Place extreme pressure lithium grease on the teeth of gears (C) Fig. 39, and replace the side cover.
3. Lay the planer on its back and squirt oil on the feed roller bushings (D) Fig. 40, at each end of the feed rollers.
