GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(For All Tools)

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards peculiar to it.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.

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

2

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.

5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON­MENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep work area well lighted. Don’t use
tool in presence of flammable liquids or
gases.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors
should be kept safe distance from work
area.

USA007-1

7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with pad­locks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.

8. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

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

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 mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands
to operate tool.

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

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and 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 switch is in off
position before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recom­mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.

18. NEVER STAND ON 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, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mount­ing, and 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 TOOL RUNNING UNAT­TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.

22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing
use only identical replacement parts.

23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this equipment has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified elec­trician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet,

etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.

3

USE 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 line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num­ber, the heavier the cord.

Adjusting depth of cut

The maximum depth of cut differs depending upon the width
of workpiece being cut. Refer to the table. When you need to
remove more than the amount specified in the table, set the
depth of cut shallower than the amount and make two or
more passes.

Width of workpiece being cut

Less than 150 mm (5-7/8”)

150 mm (5-7/8”) - 240 mm (9-1/2”)

240 mm (9-1/2”) - 304 mm (12”)

003712

To adjust the depth of cut, proceed as follows.

Insert the workpiece flat on the table top. Lower the main
frame by turning the crank handle counterclockwise. The

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Replacing planer blades

CAUTION:

• Handle the blades very carefully when removing or
installing the blades to prevent cuts or injury from the
blades and to prevent damage to the blades. They are
razor-sharp.

• Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter adhering
to the drum or blades before installing the blades.

• Use blades of the same dimensions and weight , or
drum oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor cutting
action and eventually, tool breakdown.

• Replace both blades at the same time.

• The disposable-type blade has a cutting edge on both

sides. When one cutting edge becomes dull, you can
use the other cutting edge. Always remove resin and dirt
sticking to the reverse side of the blade before using the
other cutting edge. This blade must not be re­sharpened. When both cutting edges become dull, the
blade should be carefully thrown away.

OPERATION

003721

The planer stand should be bolted with the four bolts to the
floor using the bolt holes provided in the legs.

003724

CAUTION:

• Two or more pieces of narrow but similar thickness stock
can be passed through the planer side by side.
However, allow some spacing between the stock to
permit the feed rollers to grip the thinnest piece of stock.
Otherwise, a slightly thinner piece could be kicked back
by the cutterhead.

Place the workpiece flat on the table top.

Determine the depth of cut as described before.

Switch on the tool and wait until the blades attain full speed.
The workpiece should not be in contact with the feed roller
when you turn the tool on.

Then insert the workpiece flush with the table top.

When cutting a long or heavy workpiece, lift up its end
slightly at the start and the end of the cut to avoid gouging or
snipping at the extreme ends of the workpiece.

003725

The use of the tool top enables quick, effortless return of the
workpiece to the infeed table side. This is especially conve­nient with two operators.

CAUTION:

• The workpiece with the following dimensions cannot be
fed into the tool because the interval between two feed
rollers is 129 mm (5-1/16”). Do not try to cut them.

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.

003727

Adjusting height of sub-table

The height of sub-table is factory-adjusted. If further adjust­ment is necessary, proceed as follows.

Place a postcard on the table and also place a ruler on the
postcard. Turn the adjusting screw with the hex wrench until
the end of the sub-table contacts the ruler. Now the end of
the sub-table is from 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm (0.004” - 0.012”)

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 and cement and other masonry products, and

• 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.
