Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip­ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved

Model G0841 (Mfd. Since 06/18)

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Double-Sided Planers

To reduce risk of kick-

Amputation, serious cuts, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating
cutterheads, feed track, or other moving parts! Flying chips can cause blindness or eye injuries.
Inserts or workpieces thrown by cutterheads can strike nearby operator or bystanders with
deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely
heed hazards and warnings below.

AVOID CONTACT WITH FEED TRACK. The feed

track grabs, holds, and pulls material with great
force into spinning cutterheads. To reduce risk
of being pulled into machine and spinning cutter­heads, keep hands, loose clothing, jewelry, and
long hair away from feed track during operation.

FEED WORKPIECES PROPERLY. To reduce
risk of contacting feed track and being pulled into
machine, stand at arms-length away from infeed
table when feeding workpieces into machine. To
reduce risk of kickback and jams, only feed work­pieces into machine when feed system is ON, and
DO NOT change feed rate speed during cutting
operation.

CLEARING JAMMED WORKPIECES. Feeding
too much material into machine at one time
or improper feed techniques will likely cause
workpieces to become jammed. If workpieces
get jammed in machine, turn machine OFF and
disconnect power before clearing jam. NEVER
reach inside machine or use a piece of wood to
clear a jam during operation or while machine is
connected to power. Otherwise, you could be seri­ously injured if you accidentally touch the spinning
cutterheads or get entangled in moving parts.

KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when workpieces
are ejected from the machine at a high rate of
speed. To reduce risk of kickback and serious
impact injuries, only use proper workpieces and
feed techniques, and NEVER start cutterhead
motors with workpieces touching cutterheads.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce risk of kick­back and jams, DO NOT exceed maximum depth
of cut or minimum board size dimensions found
in Machine Data Sheet. DO NOT cut multiple
boards of thicknesses varying more than
by-side at same time.

3

⁄16" side-

INSPECTING STOCK.

back, jams, and machine damage, thoroughly
inspect and prepare stock before cutting. Verify
workpieces are free of nails, staples, loose knots,
debris, and foreign objects.

PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane
natural wood stock with this machine. DO NOT
plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other
synthetic materials that can break up inside
machine and be ejected towards operator or
bystanders.

AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS.
NEVER reach inside planer or open chain drive
access door or belt covers during operation or
while machine is connected to power. Serious
injury or death can occur if you contact cutterhead
or get entangled in moving chain drive or belts.

LOOKING INSIDE MACHINE. Wood chips fly
around inside machine at a high rate of speed
during operation. To avoid injury from flying
wood chips, DO NOT look inside planer during
operation.

SECURE INSERTS. Improperly secured inserts
can break apart or come loose and become
dangerous projectiles. Always verify inserts are
secure and properly adjusted before operation.

DULL/DAMAGED INSERTS. Dull or damaged
inserts increase risk of kickback and jams and
cause poor workpiece finish. Only use sharp,
undamaged inserts.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce risk of kick­back and jams, always make sure workpieces can
move completely across tables without rocking
or tipping. For long stock, use auxiliary support
stands on infeed and outfeed ends of machine.

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

For your own safety and protection of

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

A permanently connected (hardwired) power sup­ply is typically installed with wires running through
mounted and secured conduit. A disconnecting
means, such as a locking switch (see following
figure), must be provided to allow the machine
to be disconnected (isolated) from the power
supply when required. This installation must be
performed by an electrician in accordance with all
applicable electrical codes and ordinances.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. A permanently connected machine must
be connected to a grounded metal permanent wir­ing system; or to a system having an equipment­grounding conductor. All grounds must be verified
and rated for the electrical requirements of the
machine. Improper grounding can increase the
risk of electric shock!

Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoi d
using these products
to clean machinery.

Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled. Only
work in a well-ventilated
area.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
brake parts cleaner, that may damage
painted surfaces.

T23692—Orange Power Degreaser

A great product for removing the waxy shipping
grease from your machine during clean up.

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative
will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint
scraper, scrape off as much as you can first,
then wipe off the rest with the rag.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust. Aluminum

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work­piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main­tenance and service described in this manual.

Leveling

Leveling

For accurate planing results and to prevent
warping or twisting of cast iron base,
machine MUST be leveled from side to side
and from front to back on both ends.

Re-check the machine 24 hours after
installation, two weeks after that, and then
annually to make sure it remains level.

Leveling machinery helps precision components
remain straight and flat during the lifespan of the
machine. Components on an improperly leveled
machine may slowly twist due to the dynamic
loads placed on the machine during operation.

To level machine:

1. Slide (4) leveling pads under (4) footings at

corners of machine, as shown in Figure 17.
Make sure center of threaded hole in footing
aligns with center of leveling pad.

2. Insert (4) M16-1.5 x 75 hex bolts with (4) M16-

1.5 jam nuts into (4) threaded holes in foot­ings, as shown in Figure 17.
