The specifications in this manual are given as general information and are not binding. WMH Tool Group reserves the right to effect, at any time and without prior notice, alterations to parts, fittings, and accessory equipment deemed necessary for any reason whatsoever.

Receiving

Carefully unpack the planer and any loose items from the wood crate and inspect for damage. Any damage should be reported immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Before proceeding further, read your manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and safety procedures.

Remove the screws that hold the planer to the shipping skid. Remove the protective coating from the table, bed rolls, feed rolls, cutterhead and loose items packed with the machine, including lifting handles and motor pulley. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with Kerosene. Do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose. Do not use solvents on plastic parts.

Use care when cleaning the

cutterhead, the knives are very sharp.

Installation & Assembly

1. There are four lifting handles (Fig. 3) on the machine. Pull the handles out for use, push in when not in use.

2. If a sling or forklift is used to lift the machine, be sure to lift by the handles only. See Fig. 3. Make sure machine is kept in level position while lifting.

3. For best planing performance, locate planer on a solid, level foundation and anchor to the floor with good quality lag screws. Do not tighten screws completely yet.

4. With machine in position, test table surface lengthwise and crosswise with machinist’s level. Place metal shims under low corners.

5. Check that all four corners are supported, then tighten lag screws.

6. Re-test level of table surface in both directions and adjust if necessary.

Figure 3

Starter Box

Mount the starter box at the left side of the machine with two socket head cap screws (Fig. 4).

Figure 4

Handwheel

1. Remove the nut and washer from the gearbox

shaft, and place the handwheel onto the shaft (Fig. 5), making sure it is oriented so the handwheel slips over the key.

2. Place flat washer and hex nut on shaft and

tighten with wrench.

3. Mount the handle in the threaded hole in the

handwheel, and tighten with a wrench placed over the flat on the handle.

Figure 5

Table Extension Rollers

Mount the table extension rollers to the table using the provided hex cap screws and washers (A, Fig. 6). The rollers should be adjusted before operating the planer; see Adjusting Table Extension Rollers on page 11.

Dust Collection Hood

The dust collection hood (Fig. 6a) comes standard with the model JWP-208 planer, and helps maintain a clean and safe work area. It is assembled to the planer with the screws and washers as shown.

Figure 6

Figure 6a

Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. The machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

A power plug is not provided with the 208 planer. You may either connect one or "hard-wire" the machine directly to your electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near the machine. Consult the wiring diagrams on pages 32-33 for further clarification of wiring setup.

This machine must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistance to help divert current away from the operator in case of electrical malfunction.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the machine.

Extension Cords

The use of an extension cord is not recommended for this machine, but if one is necessary make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Figure 7

The chart in Figure 7 shows the correct size cord to use based on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.

Adjustments

Belt and Pulleys

1. Using a straight edge, align the motor pulley

(A, Fig. 8 ) and cutterhead pulley (B, Fig. 8). The motor plate can be moved for alignment by loosening the set screws (C, Fig. 9) in the motor plate.

Figure 8

Figure 9

2. Check belt tension. Proper tension is obtained

when there is approximately 1/4” deflection of the center span of the pulleys using light finger pressure (Fig. 10).

3. If adjustment of belt tension is necessary,

loosen one pair of hex nuts (E & F, Fig. 11) and turn the other pair to raise or lower the motor plate. Re-tighten nuts.

Figure 10

Table Rollers

Overview

Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A, Fig. 12) which turn as the stock is fed into the planer, thus reducing friction. It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height setting of the table rollers because each type of wood behaves differently.

As a general rule, however, when planing rough stock, the table rollers should be set at high position. When planing smooth stock the rollers should be set at low position.

Note: When raising the roller higher above the table, the available range is from .003” to .006” See Fig. 13.

Figure 11

Figure 12

The table rollers are factory set for average planing and are parallel to the table surface. If you desire to adjust the table rollers higher or lower, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Lay a straight edge (B, Fig. 14) across both

rollers.

3. On one side of the table, loosen the screws

(C, Fig. 14) with a hex wrench, and turn the eccentric shafts (D, Fig. 14) to raise or lower the rollers.

4. When the proper height is achieved, tighten

screws (C, Fig. 14).

5. Adjust the rollers from the opposite side of the

table in the same manner.

Important: Be sure that the height of front and rear rollers are the same. The table rollers must always be set parallel to the table.

Figure 13

Figure 14

Adjusting Table Extension Rollers

1. Place a straight edge over the extension roller

and the table, as shown in Fig. 15, to make sure the extension roller and table are at the same height. If necessary, adjust the table extension rollers as follows:

2. Loosen the screws and washers (A, Fig. 15)

to move the extension roller to the proper position, then retighten the screws.

3. Adjust both front and rear extension rollers in

the same manner.
