the machine. If in doubt DONOTPLUGINTHETOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate is harmful to the motor.
1. KNOW YOUR MACHINE
Read and understand the owners manual and labels affixed to
the machine. Learn its application and limitations as well as its
specific potential hazards.
2. GROUND THE MACHINE.
This machine is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and
a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type
receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.
Keep in good working order, properly adjusted and aligned.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the machine before turning it on.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Make sure the floor
is clean and not slippery due to wax and dust build-up.
6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t use machinery in damp or wet locations or expose them to
rain. Keep work area well lit and provide adequate surrounding
work space.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF.
Use padlocks, master switches or remove starter keys.
9. USE PROPER SPEED.
A machine will do a better and safer job when operated at the
proper speed.
10. USE RIGHT TOOL.
Don’t force the machine or the attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings,
watch) because they could get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair. Roll up long sleeves above the elbows.
12. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
Always wear safety glasses (ANSI Z87.1). Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANER/MOULDERS
1. Always wear eye protection when operating any machine.
2. Before starting up, recheck to make certain all holding screws are
tight.
3. Always stop motor and disconnect the power source before making
any kind of adjustment.
4. Be sure all guards are in place before operating equipment. Ensure
the chip deflectors are in place, with proper gaps between blades.
Ensure all covers are secured.

the machine before attempting to operate.
6. Keep children away,all visitors should maintain a safe distance from
the machine.
7. After a long period of operation, stop the machine, disconnect the
power, and check the cutter head screws for tightness.
8. Don’t force-feed your work through the machine. Allow the feed
rollers to feed the workpiece through the machine automatically.
9. Check the feed roller bearings occasionally to be sure there are no
wood chips between the bearings and side plates. If bearings are
not seated firmly, the feed rollers will not hold stock firmly against
the table, and kickback could occur.
10. Use proper materials free from loose or tight knots, and avoid
materials that are warped or misshapen.
11. Never stand directly in line with either the infeed or outfeed sides
of the machine. Always stand to one side. With any power tool,
kickback is always a possibility.
12. Never remove more than 1/8” of material in a single pass through
the machine.
13. Never plane a board less than 8” in length.
14. Do not push or force stock into the cutterhead. The moulder will
perform better and safer when working at the rate for which it was
designed.
15. Always use clean, properly sharpened knives. Dirty or dull knives
are unsafe and can lead to accidents.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

POWER SUPPLY
WARNING: YOUR PLANER/MOULDER MUST BE CONNECTED TO
A 220V, 15-AMP. MINIMUM BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO
CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR
FIRE.
GROUNDING
This Planer/Moulder must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This Planer/Moulder is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR
PLANER/MOULDER, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE PLUG
GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet
is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS
PLANER/MOULDER CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID
SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED
IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
220V OPERATION
Your Planer/Moulder comes wired for 220V operation. The plug and the
required wall outlet are illustrated in Fig.1.
Starting and Stopping the automatic feed rollers
This machine is supplied with an independent motor which operates
the feed rollers. This motor is controlled by the On/Off switch (D) Fig.3,
it comes with a removable safety key (E). When the safety key is
removed from the switch and placed in a safe location, unauthorized
persons or children can’t turn the switch to the On position.
Reset Button (overload protector)

EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING! IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE AN EXTENSION
CORD, BUT IF IT IS NECESSARY, READ THE FOLLOWING.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
Depending on the length of extension cord needed, use the table (Fig.2)
to determine the minimum wire gauge (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge).
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
thickness must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample
voltage to the Planer/Moulder motor. The smaller the gauge of the
extension cord, the thicker it will be in diameter. Refer to Fig.2 for wire
length and size.
Starting and Stopping the Planer/Moulder Cutterhead
The magnetic switch (A) Fig.3 is located on the front right side of the
machine. To turn the machine “On” press the green button (B). To stop
the machine, push the red emergency stop button (C). Once you push
down on the emergency stop button (C), twist the button clockwise until
it pops up, only then will you be able to restart the machine.
