PLANER SAFETY

English

BEFORE USING THE PLANER

WARNING

TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS, PERMANENT INJURY, DO NOT PLUG IN THE PLANER UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.

1. Your planer comes completely assembled. The only assembly required is the cutterhead depth adjustment handle. Mount your planer to a work bench or an adequate surface.

2. Learn to use the function of the ON/OFF switch, elevation handle, cutterhead guard, outfeed table, infeed table and push blocks.

3. Review and understand all safety instructions and operating procedures in this instruction manual.

4. Review the maintenance methods for this planer.

5. Find and read all the warning labels found on the planer:

● Read manual before using planer.

● Wear safety goggles.

● Never perform planning operation with cutterhead guard or belt guard removed.

● Never make planning cuts greater than 1/32” (0.8 mm).

● Never perform planning cuts on workpieces shorter than 14” (35.6 cm) in length.

● Turn power OFF, wait for blade to stop and remove power cord from power source before adjusting or servicing.

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE PLANER

1. AVOID A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT:

● Use the planer in a dry, indoor place protected from rain.

● Keep work area well-lit.

2. TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED PLANER MOVEMENT:

● Bolt or clamp the planer to a ﬁrm level surface where there is plenty of room to move the

workpiece through the entire cut.

● Support the planer so the tables are level and planer does not rock.

● Put the planer where operators nor bystanders will stand in line with the wood while planning.

● To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure your ﬁngers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs

when plugging in or unplugging the planer.

● Turn OFF and unplug the planer before moving it to a new area. To avoid back injury, get help when you need to lift the planer.

● Bolt the planer to the ﬂoor if it tends to move

when planning long, heavy boards.

● DO NOT STAND ON THE PLANER. Do not store

materials above or near it. Standing on the tool to reach materials could result in serious injury if it tips or is accidentally contacted.

BEFORE EACH USE

1. INSPECT YOUR PLANER:

● If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way,

or any electrical part does not work properly, turn the planer OFF and unplug the planer.

● Replace damaged or missing parts before using

the planer.

● Make sure the cutterhead turns in the right

direction. They should move toward the infeed table.

2. AVOID INJURY FROM JAMS, SLIPS OR THROWN

PLECES (KICKBACKS):

● Use this planer only for wood or similar materials.

● Plan your hand placement so your ﬁngers will not

be in a place where a sudden slip could cause them to slide or fall into the cutterhead. When using only one push block to feed the wood, do not put your other hand on the planer or workpiece.

● Avoid injury from thrown pieces. Make sure the

blades are properly installed and the cutter blade wedge screws are tight.

● Adjust the depth of cut to between 1/32” or less

(0.8 mm or less) for best results. A deep cut makes feeding the wood harder and can cause the wood to kickback.

● Use the right tool. Do not force the tool to do a job

it is not intended to do.

3. INSPECT YOUR WORK AREA:

● Keep the work area clean.

● Cluttered area and benches invite accidents. The

ﬂoor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

● Avoid burns or other ﬁre damage. Do not use the

planer near ﬂammable liquids, vapours or gases.

● Before using the planer, clear the table of all

objects not needed to feed the workpiece.

● Avoid injury. Do not perform layout, assembly, or

setup work on the planer.

4. PLAN YOUR WORK:

● Before trying a new or not often used operation,

carefully plan your hand placement. Make sure you have proper push blocks, jigs, ﬁxtures, stops, and other items ready to use.

● Avoid injury form unsafe accessories. Use only

recommended accessories.

English

5. DRESS FOR SAFETY:

● Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears.

● Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewellery (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

● Wear nonslip footwear.

● Tie back long hair.

● Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

● Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using the planer for hours at a time.

● Planer can throw foreign objects into your eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with CSA Standards. Regular eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

● For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles.

6. INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE:

● Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be planed.

7. PLAN YOUR CUT:

● Small or thin workpieces can kickback when they tip over on the tables or the cutterhead.

● To avoid cutterhead contact or workpiece kickback, do not plane workpieces shorter than 5” (127 mm).

● Do not plane wood thinner than 1/2” (13 mm).

● Do not cut freehand. Guide your workpiece solidly against the fence and table top. Make sure there in no debris between the workpiece and its supports.

● Use extra caution with large, small or awkward workpieces.

● Use extra support (tables, sawhorses, blocks) if your workpiece is hard to hold down to the table.

● Do not use another person as additional support or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.

● Do not cut more than one workpiece at a time.

● Do not turn your planer ON before clearing everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table.

8. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING:

● Make sure the switch is OFF before plugging the planer into a power source.

WHEN THE PLANER IS RUNNING

WARNING

DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR PLANER) TO CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SEVERE INJURY.

1. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY:

● Make sure bystanders are clear of the planer.

● Before actually cutting with the planer, let it run for a while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the planer OFF. Unplug the planer. Do not restart it until ﬁnding and correcting the problem.

2. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL:

● Feed the workpiece into the planer only fast enough to let the tool cut without bogging down or jamming.

3. BEFORE FREEING JAMMED MATERIAL:

● Turn the switch OFF.

● Wait for all moving parts to stop.

● Unplug the planer.

4. BEFORE LEAVING THE PLANER:

● Turn the planer OFF.

● Unplug the planer.

● Make the workshop childproof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Remove the ON/OFF switch key. Store it away from children and others not qualiﬁed to use the tool.

MAINTENANCE

English

WARNING

Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning. To avoid ﬁre or toxic reaction, never use gasoline, naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the planer. To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, unplug the power cord before working on the tool. For your safety, this tool is double-insulated. To avoid electrical shock, ﬁre or injury, use only parts identical to those identiﬁed in the parts list. Reassemble exactly as the original assembly to avoid electrical shock.

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. Q)

The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately 50 hours of running time, or 10,000 ON/OFF cycles. Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4” (6,35mm) length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned. To inspect or replace brushes, ﬁrst unplug the tool. Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side of the motor (2). Remove the cap cautiously, because it is spring-loaded. Then pull out the brush and replace. Replace for the other side. To reassemble reverse the procedure. The ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the same slots the carbon part ﬁts into. Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten.

REPLACING V-BELT

Inadequate tension in the V-belt will cause the belt to slip from the motor pulley or drive pulley. A loose belt must be replaced. To replace V-belt:

● Turn planer OFF and unplug from power source.

● Loosen and remove screws on right panel.

Remove panel.

● Remove old belt by walking the belt from motor and drive pulleys alternatively. Gently pull the belt while turning the pulleys at the same time.

● Replace with new belt. Walk the belt onto the pulleys in the reverse manner as when removing the belt.

● Make sure the belt is evenly seated all the way on the motor and drive pulley grooves.

● Replace and secure right panel.

LUBRICATION

● Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need no lubrication.

● Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned of debris and grease

● The tables can be coated with a lubricant such as furniture wax, to make the workpiece feed smoother. Make sure the lubricant used does not affect the ability to ﬁnish the workpiece with varnish, sealer, etc. Do not use any silicone-base lubricants.

Fig. Q

NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, ﬁrst make sure the brushes go back in the way they came out. This will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor performance and increases wear.

CLEAN PLANER
