CAUTION
death or serious injury.
injury.
This mean if the precaution is not taken, it MAY cause minor or moderate injury.
IMPORTANTThis is a tip about proper operation of the machine to avoid machine damage.
General Safety Guidelines
1. FAMILIARIZE yourself with all safety instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and
hazards associated with this machine. Do not operate / service this machine until you are properly
trained.
2. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING, when done properly, reduce the risk of electrocution, shocks and fire.
Make certain that the machine frame is electrically grounded and that a ground lead is included in
the incoming electrical service. In cases where a cord and a plug are used, make certain that the
grounding plug connects to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure indicated in the
electrical code of your area.
3. DISCONNECT the machine from power before performing any service, maintenance, or adjustments.
A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used until the repair is
complete.
4. EYE PROTECTION: Always wear an approved safety face shield, goggles, or glasses that complies
with ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards. Common eyeglasses are not safety glasses, and may not
provide adequate protection.
5. EAR PROTECTION: Use hearing protective devices where the noise exceeds the level of exposure
allowed in Section 1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations. When in doubt, use it.
6. OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTION: Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watch and other
jewelry. Roll up sleeves above the elbows. Remove all loose outer clothing and confine long hair.
Protective type footwear should be used. Do not wear gloves unless it is instructed to perform
particular step(s) in the manual.
7. GUARDS: Keep the machine guards in place for all applicable operations. If any guards are removed
for maintenance, DO NOT OPERATE the machine until the guards are reinstalled. Check clearance
between the guards and the cutter before starting the machine.
8. WORKPLACE SAFETY: Keep the floor around the machine clean. Scrap material, saw dust, oil and
other liquids increase the risk of tripping or slipping. Be sure to clean up the table before starting the
machine. Make certain the work area is well lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to
10014 Planer OLIVERMACHINERY.NET 13| Page
Page 14
minimize dust. Use anti-skid floor strips on the floor area where the operator normally stands and
mark off machine work area. Provide adequate work space around the machine.
9. ACCESS CONTROL should be enforced so only trained personnel can access the work area and
operate the machine. Use childproof power switch when applicable.
10. STAY ALERT at all times. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs/alcohol, or
when not feeling well.
11. REPLACEMENT PARTS: Use only genuine Oliver Machinery replacement parts and accessories
recommended for this machine. Generic parts made by other manufacturers may create a safety
hazard, and WILL void the factory warranty and other guarantees.
12. PROPER USE: Do not use this machine for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes,
Oliver disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage
which may result from that use.
Safety Guidelines Specific to Planer
Before Work Begin:
1. USE ONLY NATURAL, SOLID WOOD. Do not plane any material such as plywood, MDF, OSB,
laminate or anything that can disintegrate during operation. Do not plane treated lumber or
anything that contains harmful chemicals, as this will spread wood dusts that contain such harmful
chemicals. Do not attempt to plane workpiece with loose knots or with any other foreign materials.
2. CHECK CUTTER INSERTS: Make sure cutter inserts are sharp, clean, and free from damages. Forcing
dull/damaged cutter inserts to work invites accidents, and lowers the quality of the finish. Use
recommended amount of torque to securely fasten all inserts onto the cutterhead.
3. SERVICING CUTTER INSERTS: Wear heavy duty leather clothes to protect your hands when installing
new cutter inserts or rotating the existing ones. Ensure the cutterhead is thoroughly clean before
installing the insert. Debris between the cutter insert and the platform can create uneven pressure,
causing the insert to break, and body injuries may occur.
4. SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECE with auxiliary stock feeding rollers/tables. This will help avoiding
injuries and improve the quality of finish.
14 | PageOliver Machinery 10014 Planer
Page 15
When Planning:
1. DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM is required for this planer. Please make sure the system is on and
provide enough suction before operation begins.
2. KICKBACK happens when a workpiece is ejected, usually towards the infeed side of the planer,
during the operation. This can cause serious injuries or even death. This planner is equipped with
metal anti-kickback fingers to reduce the risk of kickback. Make sure they are clean and moving
freely before operation. Even with this safety device installed, kickback can still happen due to
workpiece quality, grain orientation and many factors. Operator should be cautious about possible
kickback.
•ALWAYS wear proper protection device and stay away from the line-of-fire to avoid kickback
related accidents.
• NEVER look inside the planer during operation.
• NEVER plane boards that are shorter than 6”as mentioned in the specifications.
3. PROPER WORKPIECE FEEDING avoids kickback. Never start the machine with the workpiece
engaging the cutterhead. Never start feeding until the planer has reached its full speed. Ensure
there is proper gripping force from the feeding rollers when passing through a workpiece.
• NEVER force a workpiece through the planer. Make adjustments as needed.
• ONLY plane one board at a time.
• For twisted workpieces, use a jointer to face joint the bottom side of the workpiece before
planning.
4. STUCK WORKPIECE should be removed only after the planer is powered off, and the cutterhead
comes to a complete stop. Do not use hands or push sticks to force feed a workpiece through the
planer, as it can result in severe injuries and/or machine damage.
5. DEPTH OF CUT SETTINGS: Never exceed the designed maximum depth of cut capacity found in the
specification. Failing to comply can cause machine damage and injuries. Consider the hardness of
the workpiece when setting the depth of cut, as harder wood types increase the workload of the
planer.
After Operation
1. STOP THE MACHINE if the operator leaves the machine for any reason.
2. WAIT until the machine comes to a complete stop.
3. CLEAN UP the work area before departure.

Dust Collection
Wood planer can generate a lot of wood shavings and dusts. Connect the dust collection system to this
machine. Minimum CFM requirement for this planer is 600 CFM at the dust port, which means your
dust collection system should have a rating greater than 600 CFM, as air friction from the ducts reduces
the effective CFM at the dust ports.
Running this planer without dust collection system, or using a dust collection
system with inadequate suction, will cause dust and shavings to accumulate
IMPORTANT
inside the planer. This can damage the machine and cause other hazardous
situations. Check your dust collection system regularly to make sure it is not
jammed or filled up.

Components for Planing Wood
This diagram shows components involved for planning a piece of wood:
How it works:
1. When a workpiece enters the planer, with planer’s depth of cut properly set, it will clear the
depth limiter[A]. For workpiece less than 6”, it is possible to bypass the limiter and receive a
deeper cut.
2. The anti-kickback fingers [B] then engage the workpiece to prevent accidental kick-back.
3. As the workpiece moves further into the planer, it will engage the infeed roller [C]. The infeed
roller will bring the workpiece towards the chip breaker [D] and the cutterhead [E].
4. As the cutterhead cuts on the workpiece, the woodchips will be broken down by the chip
breaker.
5. The chip breaker and the chip deflector [F] then divert the woodchips towards the dust port for
removal.
6. As the workpiece leaves the cutter head, it will engage the outfeed roller [G], which helps
pulling the workpiece away from the planer.
7. The workpiece will also engage the bed roller[H] which helps reducing resistance as the
workpiece moves along the planer table. The height of the bed roller can be adjusted to
accommodate workpiece with various roughness.

Test Run
Each planer has been inspected and calibrated before leaving the factory to meet our quality and
precision standards. Due to various reasons, the machine may need to be re-adjusted when it arrives at
your workshop. It is recommended to complete the test run before using the planer for production
work, and repeat the test run if the planer is relocated.
Step 1: Verify all electrical components are functional.
1. Remove all tools and debris from the machine.
2. Push STOP button.
3. Connect machine to the power source.
4. Turn the rim of the STOP button clockwise to reset the safety shutoff mechanism.
5. Press the green START button. The machine should be running with no excessive noise and
vibration.
6. Press STOP button to turn machine off.
7. Without resetting the STOP button, attempt to restart the machine by pressing the START
button. The machine should NOT start.
8. Reset the STOP button to restart the machine. Disconnect the machine from power source while
the machine is running, then reconnect machine to power. The machine should NOT restart.
Step 2: Verify the planer headstock is functional and calibrated.
1. Connect planer to a dust collection system.
2. Lower the headstock all the way down. The headstock should stop at approximately 1/4" above
the planer table.
3. Raise the headstock all the way up. Ensure all the anti-kickback fingers can move freely.
4. Turn on the DRO to check the readings of digital readout. The readings should reflect the
movement of the headstock.
5. Prepare a piece of good quality, straight grain wood board with flat bottom for a test run. It is
advised to choose a board that is close to 15” wide and at least 2 feet long.
6. Lower the headstock to remove 1/16” of the workpiece for the test run.
7. Start the dust collection system and the planer. Gently feed the workpiece towards the infeed
roller. Ones the infeed roller engages the workpiece, it should pull the workpiece through the
planer. Verify the entire top surface has been cut.
8. Inspect the workpiece for defective finish.
9. Use a caliper to measure the thickness of each side to ensure the cutterhead is parallel with the
planer table. If the thicknesses are the same, check if the reading is the same as shown on the
headstock height scale.
10. Check for excessive snipes. Minimum amount of snipe may occur at the ends of the board and it
is expected.
11. While the machine is running idle, move the feed rate control knob to change feed rate. This
ensures the gearbox and feed rate control knob is functional.
12. Hit STOP to turn off the planer when all tests complete.
Congratulations for completing the test run! Now your planer is ready for production work. If you
discover any issue from the tests, please refer to the troubleshooting section and maintenance section
for how to diagnose the issue and make adjustments.

Operation
For safety and best results, please take the following steps for operating this machine.
Step 1: Preparation
Only Use Natural, Good Quality Wood
Only plane natural wood materials that is in good quality. Cracked stock, board with loose knots,
plywood and other engineered wood products can break apart and cause severe kickbacks, which can
lead to severe injuries and machine damages.
Do not plane treated lumber or anything that contains harmful chemicals, as this will spread wood dusts
that contain such harmful chemicals. NEVER plane boards that are shorter than 7”as mentioned in the
specifications.
Inspect the Workpiece
Carefully inspect the workpiece for foreign objects. Nails, staples, rock chips and other objects
embedded on the wood surface will damage the planer. To avoid chipping/dulling the cutter inserts, it is
advised to clean a workpiece with a stiff brush to remove all dirt and foreign objects before planing,
especially for rough sawn or reclaimed lumber. Use metal detector to scan for metal as needed.
Check Moisture Content
Check moisture content of the workpiece before operation. “Green wood” with moisture content over
20% will not cut properly and may jam the machine. Excessive moisture content will also cause planer’s
unpainted surface to rust. Besides, as the workpieces dries, the planed surface will become fuzzy, and
the workpiece may wrap. It is recommended to allow the workpiece to dry and stabilize before it is
processed.
Wrapped Stock
Workpiece should have a flat bottom to be processed by a planer. It is acceptable to process a slightly
cupped board with the cupped side facing down and begin with light cuts. Boards with moderate
cupping, bowing or twisting should have one side face-jointed before being processed by a planer.
Avoid using boards with severe wrapping, as they can be unstable and might cause severe kickbacks
during operation.
Glue-Ups
Glue left on the workpiece surface can dull the cutters and reduce cut quality. Scrape off all glue from
the workpiece before operation.
Wood Grain Direction
This planer is designed to plane WITH the grain direction of the wood. Do not plane cross-grain or end-
grain. Severe kickback and chipping may occur.
10014 Planer OLIVERMACHINERY.NET 31| Page
Page 32
Step 2: Setting Depth of Cut and Feed Rate
This planer is capable of removing at most 1/8” per pass. For stock that is less than 6” wide, the planer
can cut as much as 1/4" per pass. For best results, it is recommended to take light passes with low feed
rate when approaching the desired thickness.
Wood Hardness
Depends on the hardness and brittleness of the wood type, operator should adjust the maximum depth
of cut and feed rate accordingly. For workpiece that is hard/brittle, reduce the depth of cut and feed
rate.
For your reference, this Janka scale shows the hardness of wood types that are commonly used. It ranks
the hardness of various wood types by measuring the amount of force (in lbs.) required to embed a
0.444” steel ball halfway into the wood.

Step 3: Select Feed Direction
Inspect the workpiece and identify the direction of the edge grain. Choose a feed direction such that
workpiece will receive a downhill cut.
Good – Planer Cuts Downhill
Not Ideal – Planer Cuts Uphill
Sometimes it is impossible to perform a downhill cut for the entire length of a workpiece. In this case,
try feeding the workpiece in opposite direction and see what works best. Reducing the depth of cut and
feed rate can also help improving cut quality.
Step 4: Planing Wood to Desired Thickness
ALWAYS wear goggles, and other protection device when operating this machine.
Stay on the side of the planer next to the power switch to avoid kickback related
WARNING
accidents. NEVER look inside the planer during operation. Failing to comply may
result in serious injuries or death.
Use ear protection device to prevent hearing loss. Ensure dust collection system is
CAUTION
functional and use dusk mask to avoid inhaling harmful airborne particles.
With the above preparation steps completed, the workpiece is ready for planing.
1. Please put on all protection devices before proceed. If you have a long workpiece, please make sure
it is properly supported throughout the process.
2. Measure the thickness/height of the workpiece, then move the cutterhead no more than 1/16”
below the highest/thickest point of the workpiece. This allows the feed rollers to properly engage
the workpiece, and at the same time not taking too much materials off for a test pass.
3. Turn on dust collection system and the planer.
4. While standing on the side of the planer, place the workpiece on the table with the flat side down.
Gently feed the workpiece towards the infeed roller. Once the infeed roller engages the workpiece,
allow the machine to feed the workpiece. DO NOT force feed the workpiece through the planer.
If the infeed roller does not engage the workpiece:
Headstock height is set too high. Stop the machine. Wait for the machine to come to a complete
stop. Raise the headstock and remove the workpiece. Reduce the initial headstock height, and
restart form step 3.
10014 Planer OLIVERMACHINERY.NET 33| Page
Page 34
If the machine stalls or the workpiece gets stuck:
Headstock height is set too low. Stop the machine and wait for the machine to come to a complete
stop. Raise the headstock and remove the workpiece. Decrease the depth of cut, and restart from
step 3.
5. If the workpiece is feeding properly, wait until the entire workpiece clears the outfeed roller, then
remove the work piece.
6. After the initial pass, measure the thickness at the midsection of the workpiece.
If more material needs to be removed, continue with the following steps.
7. If you need to remove a lot of material, run a few passes with deeper cuts, then finish with a light
pass with shallow cuts and slow feed rate.
8. Turn on the digital readout (DRO), and use the INC mode to measure the depth of cut for each pass.
If your DRO is already running in INC mode, you can reset the readings by switching to ABS mode
and then come back to INC mode.
9. Using the DRO as depth gauge, lower the cutterhead. Each pass should remove no more than 1/8”
for workpiece wider than 6”, and no more than 3/16" for workpieces 6” or less. Reduce maximum
depth of cut for harder wood types.
10. Upon completion of each pass, reset the reading of DRO. Use a caliper to measure workpiece’s mid-
section thickness, and decide the depth of cut for the next pass.
11. Repeat the process until the desired thickness is achieved.
Turn machine off when operation completes.

Common Cutting Problems
Snipe
When a workpiece is not properly supported as it enters or leaves the
machine, the ends of the workpiece will have more materials removed than
the rest of the section. To mitigate this problem, hold the workpiece up
slightly as it enters and leaves the machine. Sometimes, a small amount of
snipe is inevitable, and the best way to fully eliminate sniping is to prepare a
workpiece with extra length, and then trim the ends when planing is done.
Chipping
Happens when making a cut against the grain direction. See “Uphill” cut in
Step 3 of this section. For highly figured lumber and areas near the knot,
some amount of chipping is normal. In this case, moistening the
problematic area before planing can sometimes mitigate the issue.
Chipping can also cause by dirty or dull cutters. If chipping happens while
planing straight grain stocks. Inspect the cutter inserts and remove all resin
buildups. Rotate/replace dull cutter inserts when they are dull.
Indentation
This can happen when foreign object is pressed on the workpiece when it passes through the planer.
Remove all the resin buildups from the rollers, cutterhead and the table. Also check the dust collection
system and ensure all the wood chips generated are effectively removed. Adjust the chip breaker and
chip deflector as needed.
Fuzzy Grain
Can happen when planing wood with high moisture content or if the cutter is dull. Sometimes fuzzy
grain is unavoidable due to the nature of certain wood types. To mitigate this issue, avoid using wood
with high moisture content and use sharp cutters.

chain tensioner bracket in place.
IMPORTANT: Keep table chain tensioned
while loosening the locking bolt. If the chain
falls off from the sprockets, it can take a lot
of time to reinstall the chain and recalibrate
the planer.
Adjust Table Roller Height
Your planer is equipped with one table roller to
help feeding a workpiece through the planer.
There is no fixed rule for setting the exact
height of the table rollers, because each piece
of wood behaves differently. The acceptable
range of table roller height is: 0.002”- 0.005”
above the table.
As a general rule of thumb:
• Raise the roller when planing rough stock.
• Lower the roller when planing smooth
stock.
NOTICE: If the roller is set too high, the
workpiece will be more likely to have snipe on
the ends.
To adjust table roller height:
1. Disconnect planer from power source!!
2. Each end of the table
roller is equipped with a
set screw and an
eccentric adjuster.
Make sure height
adjustment is done on
both ends.
4. Push the chain tensioning sprocket against
the chain with moderate tension to remove
chain slack. Hold the sprocket in place, and
re-tighten the locking bolts.
5. Clean and lubricate the chain as needed.
6. Re-install motor access panel when
adjustments complete.
3. Loosen the set screws that hold the
eccentric adjusters.
4. Rotate the eccentric adjusters to change
roller’s height.
5. Use a dial indicator to verify the height is
the same side-to-side. Make fine
adjustments as needed.
6. Retighten the set screws to lock the
eccentric adjusters when adjustments
complete.

Adjust Cutterhead/Feed Roller Height Offset
The infeed/outfeed rollers pull the workpiece
through the planer. To ensure optimal
feeding/cutting performance, it is important to
ensure the height offsets between the
cutterhead and the feed rollers are correct.
The following diagram shows the height offset
between the cutterhead and various
components inside the headstock of the planer.
The feed rollers and chip breaker are installed
BELOW the lowest point of cutterhead.
*Diagram not drawn to scale
The height of the rollers and the chip breaker
has been pre-calibrated in the factory and
should not need further adjustments.
In case if adjustments are needed, you will need
a dial indicator with a sturdy stand. If a dial
indicator is not available, it is possible to make
the adjustments with a home-made gauge
block and a set of feeler gauges.
Clean the table and the rollers to remove any
accumulations before making adjustments.
Method 1: Using a Dial Indicator
1. Remove all tools from the planer.
2. Turn on the planer, wait until it reaches full
speed, then shift the feed rate control knob
to 0 FPM (Neutral) position.
3. Turn off planer.Disconnect planer from power source!!
4. Remove the belt cover so you can rotate
the cutterhead with the drive belt.
5. Raise the headstock, fit the dial indicator
right below the cutterhead. Rotate the
cutterhead and use the dial indicator to
locate its lowest point. Using a flat bottom
tip for the dial indicator can make this task
easier.
6. Zero the dial indicator. Use this as the
reference point for measuring the offset

0.024” - 0.031” below
of the feed rollers. The reading from the
dial indicator now shows the offset
between the cutterhead and the roller.
Made adjustments if the offset goes
beyond the tolerance listed below.
Method 2: Using Feeler Gauge
1. Using hardwood, build a gauge block similar
to this one below. The exact dimension is
not critical. Just make sure the bottom
clears the table roller. The top should be
chamfered for better tool access and
visibility.
2. Remove all tools from the planer.
8. To adjust the height of the feed rollers,
loosen the jam nuts on both ends of the
feed roller. Rotate the set screws to change
the height of the roller. Continue to
calibrate until the cutterhead-roller offset is
uniform across the entire feed roller.
9. When the correct height is set, hold the set
screws in place and re-tighten the jam nuts.
10. Re-install belt cover when adjustments
complete.
3. Turn on the planer, wait until it reaches full
speed, then shift the feed rate control knob
to 0 FPM (Neutral) position.
4. Turn off planer.Disconnect planer from power source!!
5. Remove the belt cover so you can rotate
the cutterhead with the drivebelt.

reduce pressure.
Adjust Cutterhead Height Scale
The cutterhead height scale is pre-calibrated at
the factory. It can be adjusted to accommodate
a different viewing angle, or if the scale is
shifted.
1. Prepare a piece of 2x4 with flat bottom for
calibration.
2. Using the digital readout, plane the board
down to 1-1/4” or 1”. Use a caliper to
measure the mid-section of the board for
thickness.
3. Loosen the top and bottom screws that
holds the scale in place.
4. Shift the scale so that the pointer is
pointing at the exact value as the thickness
of the board.
5. Re-tighten the screws when adjustments
complete.
Anti-Kickback Fingers Inspection
This planner is equipped with anti-kickback
fingers. Once engaged, the workpiece can only
move towards the cutterhead. This prevents
accidental kickbacks which can cause serious
injuries.
Inspect the anti-kickback fingers regularly to
ensure they can move freely, and that their
teeth are clean and are sharp enough to stop a
board from moving backwards. Clean and
lubricate with very light coat of SAE-30 machine
oil as needed.
Replace anti-kickback fingers if they are
damaged or worn.
CAUTION: Do not operate this planer
without functioning anti-kickback fingers.
Failure to comply can result in serious
