3.0 Safety warnings

For your own safety, read this in st ruction manual before operati ng the tool.

Wear Eye Protection

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.

3. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4. DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in dam p or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

5. KEEP CHILDRE N A WAY . All visitors should be kept at safe distance from the work area.

6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF wi th padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

7. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

8. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

9. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and name plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet

120V 25 50 100 150 240V 50 100 200 300

AWG 14 12 Not recommended

Table 1

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SE CUR E WOR K . Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when its practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINT AIN TOO LS W ITH C ARE. Keep tool s sharp and clean for best a nd safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits cutters, and the like.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in the machine.

17. USE RECOMMEN DED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause a risk of injury.

18. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, bindi ng of m oving part s, breakage of parts, m ounting, a nd any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

21. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

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

• Lead from lead based paint.

•

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

•

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:

This means that if preca utions are not heeded, it m ay result in minor injury a nd/or possible

machine damage.

This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in serious injury or possibly even

death.

5.0 Electrical connections

5.1 Grounding instructions

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a pat h of lea st resistance for electr ic c urrent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is eq uipped with an electric cord hav ing an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a m atc hing outlet that is proper ly 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 a 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 rep lacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipm entgrounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if t he grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or i f in doubt as to whether the tool is proper ly grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious or fatal injury.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong gro unding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

5.2 115 Volt operation

As received from the factory, your planer/molder is ready to run at 115 volt operation. This planer/molder, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 1a. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as i llustrated i n Figure 1b, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, a s shown i n Figure 1b if a properl y gro unded outlet is not avai lable. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet bo x, as shown in Figure 1b.

Figure 1a Figure 1b

5.3 230 Volt operation

If 230V, single phase operation is desired, the following instructions must be followed:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2. Thi s planer/molder is supplied with four motor leads that are connected for 115V operation, as shown i n Figure 2a. Reconnect these four motor leads for 230V operation, as shown in Figure 2b.

3. The 115V attachment plug, supplied with the planer/molder, m ust be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation, similar to the one shown in Figure 3. Contact your local Authorized JET Service Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The planer/molder must comply with all local and national codes after the 230 volt plug is installed.

4. The planer/molder with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration as illustrated by the grounded outlet box in Figure 3. No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 volt plug.

Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.

2. Inspect contents for shippi ng damage. Report damage, if any, to your distributor.

3. Compare c ontents of shipping carton with the contents list in this manual. Report shortages, if any, to your distributor.

4. Clean all rust protected surfaces with a mild solvent or kerosene. Do not use lacquer thinner, paint thinner, or gasoline; these will damage painted surfaces.

5. To pre vent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax to the table surface.

9.3 Assembly

1. Remove dust hood. Check gib screws on cutterhead for tightness. Reinstall dust hood. Note: Recheck after five minutes of operation. Recheck again after every 2 hours of use.

2. A ttach the handle to the post with a hex socket cap screw.

4. Attach lower section of dust chute with three M6x8 machine screws, and three M6 washers.

5. Mount extension roller assembly to the midd le table with four M8x12 hex cap bolts, and four M8 flat washers. The frame is adj ustable using these bolts.

6. Use a straight edge to make sure rollers are level with middle table.

7. The first roller is adjustable by loosening the hex cap bolts that hold t he roller on the f rame supports.

8. Repeat steps 5-7 for opposite side roller assembly.

Never run machine with dust

hood loose or rem oved. Failure to comply m ay cause serious injury.

10.0 Adjustments: Planing

10.1 Depth of cut

Maxim um depth of cut is 1/8”

up to 5-1/2” wide, and 1/16” on stock over 51/2” wide. Trying to cut more in one pass will cause stress on machine and could damage cutterhead.

Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel to the opposite side of the board.

The quality of thickness planing depends on the operator’s judgment about the depth of cut. Depth of cut depends upon the width, hardness, dampness, grain direction, and grain structure of the wood.

The maximum thickness of wood that can be removed in one pass is 1/8” on wood up to 51/2” wide and 1/16” on wood wider than 5-1/2”.

When planing hard wood, take light cuts or plane wood in thin widths.

Make a test cut when working with a new type of board or different kind of operation. Check the accuracy of the test cut before working on the finished product.

10.2 Adjusting depth of cut scale

Use caution when placing

hands near cutterhead. Knives are extremely sharp. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

1. Take a test cut.
