the table and make sure no one el se i s standi ng in line with the table.

22. Use the ri ght t ool at the cor rect speed and feed r ate. Do not for ce a tool or attachment to do a job for

which it was not designed. T he ri ght tool will do the job better and m or e safely.

23. Mai ntain t ools with care. Keep kniv es sharp and clean f or the best and saf est perf ormanc e. Dull tool s

increase noise lev els and can cause ki ckbacks and glazed surf aces. Broken gi bs/kniv es that are not
securely loc ked in the cutterhead c an be thrown out of the planer causing severe or fatal injury as
well as severe damage to the machine. Follow instructions for lubricating machine and changing
accessories. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazar dous.

24. Do not attempt to pl ane boards shorter than 10” (254mm) in length wit hout butting a board of equal

thickness behind i t to help it thr ough the planer . Be sure the last board of a butted sequence i s 10” or
longer.

25. Do not feed stacked boards through a planer; a kickback may occur causing severe or fatal injury.

26. Do not pl ane a board with l oose knots or with nail s or any foreign m aterial on its surface. Twisted,

warped, or wind- in stock should f irst be joint ed on one surface bef ore attempting to pl ane a parallel
surface on the planer . Serious stock flaws cannot be rem ov ed by use of a planer alone.

27. If the board bei ng planed stops feedi ng, disengage or t urn the f eed off and turn the power off . Wait

until the cutt erhead comes to a complete stop before lowering the t able to remove the board. Never
lower the tabl e with t he power on and the stoc k st ill in the machine, as a kickback can occur.

28. Keep hands outside of the machine. Never reach under the guards to try to clear stock that has

stopped feedi ng. When star ti ng a cut , do not hav e any part of the hand s under that par t of t he board
that is over the table; the infeed roller will engage the board and force it down against the table
causing a pinching action.

29. Disconnect machine from power source before cl eaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remov e

chips or debris — do not use your hands.

30. Do not stand on the machine. Seri ous i njury could occur if the machine tips over.

31. Never leave the mac hine r unning unattended. Turn the power off and do not leav e the m ac hine until it

comes to a complete stop.

Installati on

Remove the screws holding the base of the
machine to the ski d. Use the lif ting eyes on fr ont
and back of the pl aner f or hoisti ng it off the ski d.
See Figure 1. Make sure the hex nuts are
tightened bef ore lifting. The lifting eyes can be
removed once the planer is situated.

Place the planer on a solid foundation,
preferably a concrete floor. The four leveling feet
should be placed beneat h the corners, and the
screws and hex nuts used for leveling
adjustments. See Figure 2. Alternatively, you
can secure the mac hine t o the fl oor by usi ng l ag
screws through the holes in the base.

The machine area should be clean, dry, well
ventilated, and well lighted. Since planers can
create noise probl ems, the site selecti on should
be one which mi nim izes rev erberant sound f rom
walls, ceilings and other equipment. Electricals
should be installed so that they are protected
from damage and exposure.

Exposed metal parts have been given a
protectiv e coating at the fact ory. This should be
removed wit h a soft rag and k erosene or a good
commercial solvent. Do not use an abrasive
pad, as it may scratch polished metal surfaces.

Figure 1

Figure 2

IMPORTANT: All knives or knife inserts on
the cutterhead should be checked for
tightness before operating the planer.

Installing Dust Hood

Mount the dust hood with t he eight M6 x 10mm
hex screws, eight spring washer s, and eight flat
washers. See Figure 3.

It is strongly recomm ended that a dust collection
system be connected to the 5” port on the
planer’s dust hood. The system should be of
sufficient volume for this size planer. If a dust
collection system is not used, the user is
cautioned against the health hazard and the
limitati ons in the OSHA regul ation for empl oyee
or student exposure t o dust par ticles.

a line of availabl e dust c ollec tors.

Grounding Instructions

Electrical connections must

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

This mac hine m ust be grounded. I n the event of
a malfuncti on or break down, groundi ng prov i des
a path of least r esistance f or electric current to
reduce the ri sk of el ectri c shock .

Improper connection of the equipment­grounding 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 equipment­grounding conduct or . If r epair or replac em ent of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-groundi ng c onduc tor to a
live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specif ications on the m otor plate of
the Planer. T he m achi ne shoul d be c onnec ted to
a dedicated cir c uit.

You may eit her install a pl ug or “hard-wire” the
Planer dir ectly t o a contr ol panel. If the Pl aner is
to be hard-wired to a panel, make sure a
disconnect is available for the operator. During
hard-wiring of the Planer, make sure the fuses
have been rem oved or the breakers have been
tripped i n the circuit t o whic h the machine will be
connected. Pl ace a warning placard on t he fuse
holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being
turned on while t he Pl aner is bei ng wir ed.

Figure 3

8

Inspection

Before putt ing power to t he m achi ne, c heck that
all screws are tight, that all mec hanic al functions
work freel y and that the cutter head turns freel y
without knife contact with the chipbreaker or
pressure bar. On the helical cutterhead model,
check that all k nife inserts are properly torqued.

Adjustments

Tools required:

Philips screwdriver
Hex wrenches (provided)
Open-end wrench (provi ded)

Depth of Cut

Depth of cut is controll ed by raising or l owering
the table. This is done by using the handwheel
(A), shown in Figure 4.

1. Loosen the lock knob (B , Fi gur e 4).

2. Raise or lower the table to the desired

position (c lockwise to raise). One revol ution
of the handwheel equals 1/16" . The distance
can be read on the scale (C, Fi gur e 4).

3. Retighten loc k knob (B, Fi gur e 4) .

Figure 4

4. The pointer (D, Figure 4) can be adjusted

slightly if the scale should ever need
recalibrating.

Feed Rate Adjustment

The Model 201 i s equi pped wit h select abl e f eed
speed roller s that feed stoc k at 20 and 30 feet
per minute. To adjust speed, turn l ever shown in
Figure 5, while the planer is r unning.

Alw ays change sp eeds whi le

the planer is running to avoid damage to the
gearbox.

Belt Tension

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Remove lower rear cover of machine, and

use the hex nuts to adjust tension. See
Figure 6. A djust motor plate up or down until
correct belt tension is achieved. To lower
motor plate, loosen lower nuts and tighten
upper nuts. To raise motor plate, do the
opposite.

Figure 5

3. Correct tension is obtained when there is

approximately 1/4" deflection in the center
span of the belts using light finger pressure.

4. Re-tighten the nuts and re-install cov er.

Figure 6

9

Opening Hood

To open the hood f or access to t he cutterhead,
remove the two hex screws with the 22mm
wrench provided. See Figure 7.

Knife Installation and Adjustment (Straight Cutterhead only)

Use care when p lacing hands

near knives as they are extremel y sharp and
can cause severe cuts.

Installing knives on a planer is an exacting
process. If the knives are not to be joi nted and
ground, end-to-end and knife-to-knife
relationship m ust be held within .001" (.03mm)
for accur ate and smooth plani ng. To help avoid
cutterhead distortion when changing out a set of
knives, rem ove and r eplac e the knife in one slot
before changing the next knife. Snug down each
knife until all four are ready to fully tighten, as
described below. It may be helpful to number
the knives with a f elt- tip marker to keep t rack of
progress.
Any knife adjustm ent or replacement should be
done to all four knives at t he same time. Failure
to do this may result in an out-of-balance
cutterhead which c an lead to bearing failure.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

Figure 7

2. To remove a knife, loosen the ei ght screws

along its gib. See Fi gur e 8.

3. The springs will cause the knife to rise in the

slot. Carefull y remove knife from cutt erhead
by lifting straight out. Remove gib and
springs, and clean any dust, pitch or
accumulated foreign matter from the slot
and the gib.

4. Replace the springs and gib into the slot,

then insert new knife and lightly snug the
eight gib screws.

5. Place the knife-setting gauge on the

cutterhead as shown in Figure 9, with the
flanges resting upon t he cutterhead and the
center protr usion pu shing down upon t he ti p
of the knife. This will hold the high point of
the knife to the proper height above the
cutterhead (appr ox imately 1/8” or 3.18mm).

6. Use the gauge at both ends of the knife,

then check the center secti on to be sure it is
even. If the knife is low in the center, try
backing off slightl y on the center gib screw
to allow the blade to come up. Gently tap
blade down with a piece of wood until it
conform s to the gauge height. Re- check the
full length of the k nife.

Figure 8 – Model 201 only

Figure 9 – Model 201 only

7. Rotate the cutterhead using the belt or

pulley, and repeat steps 2 through 6 for
each of the remaining three knives.

8. When all four knives have been installed

and made snug, begin the tightening
process.

NOTE: All knives and gibs should be in
place before tightening. Tightening one knife
in without the others in position can cause
cutterhead distortion.

9. The tightening process should proceed

working from the center outward on each
knife. Go onc e ar ound the cutterhead f ur ther
tightening all gib screws in sequence. Then
repeat the same sequence a second time,
this time full y tightening all screws.

After installing knives, re-

check all gib screws for tightness. Loose
gib screws can resu lt in knives b eing th rown
from the cu tterhead, cau sing severe damage
to the mach ine and possibl e serious or fat al
injury to t he ope r a t or or by s ta nders.

Replacing or Rotating Knife Inserts (Helical Cutterhead only)

The knife insert s on the model 201HH are f our­sided. When dull, simply remove each insert,
rotate it 90° for a fresh edge, and re- install it.

No set-up gauge is necessary for the inserts.
Use the provided star point screwdriver to
remove the knif e insert screw. See Figure 10. It
is advisable to rotate all insert s at the same time
to maintain consistent cutting. However, if one
or more knife inserts develops a nic k , rotate only
those inserts that are affected.

Each knife insert has an etched referenc e mark
so that you can keep track of rotations.

IMPORTANT: When removing or rotating
inserts, clean saw dust from the screw, the
insert, and the cutterhead platform. Dust
accumulation between these elements can
prevent the insert from seating properly, and
may affect the quali ty of the cut.

Before installing each screw, lightly coat the
screw threads wit h m achine oi l and wi pe off any
excess.

Figure 10 – Model 201HH only

Securely tighten each screw which holds the
knife inserts before operating the planer!

Make sure all knife insert

screws are tigh ten ed secu rely. Loo se inserts
can be propelled at high speed from a
rotating cutterhead, causing injury.

The Planer’s Feed System

(Refer to Figure 11)

1. Anti-kickback fingers

2. Infeed roller

3. Chipbreaker

4. Cutterhead

5. Pressure bar

6. Outfeed roller

Anti-Kickback Fingers

Anti-kickback fingers help prevent stock from
being thrown from the machine. These fingers
operate by grav ity and should be inspected f or
pitch or gum buildup befor e eac h day ' s us e. The
fingers must operate freely and move
independently for correct operation.

Infeed Roller

The function of the infeed roller is to feed the
material into the machine. It is a corrugated,
sectional roller with approximately 1/4"
independent movement of each section to
accommodate multiple board surfacing.

To provide pr oper drive, the infeed roll er should
be set so that the bottom of its arc is 1/16"
(1.6mm) bel ow the arc of t he cutt erhead k niv es.
The infeed r oller is under spring t ensi on and this
tension must be sufficient to feed the stock
uniformly through t he pl aner without slippi ng but
should not be so ti ght that i t causes damage to
the stock. T he tension should be equal at both
ends of the roller.

To adjust the infeed roller:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Place a dial gauge (not provided) under a

knife i n the c utt erhead. If a di al gauge i s not
available, use a finished block of wood with
notches cut out for the table rolls, in
conjunction wit h a feeler gauge. S ee Figure
13 for an exam ple of a wood block you can
make and use as a gauge.

3. Raise the tabl e with t he handwheel unt il the

gauge contacts a knife at the apex of its
curve. Zero the gauge at t hat position.

4. Move the gauge to the extreme left end of

the infeed roller and check the
measurement. It should be 1/16” bel ow the
knife measurement.

5. If it is not 1/16” below the k nife, correct by

6. Move the gauge to t he extreme right end of

the infeed roller and check. Make similar
adjustments if needed.

7. Tighten hex nuts (A, Figure 14) when

finished.

IMPORTANT: The setting on both ends of the
infeed roll er must be the same to avoi d skewing
of the material as it is fed through the machine.

Chipbreaker

The chipbreak er is a sectionaliz ed type made of
spring-loaded secti ons mounted on a bar , which
complements the sectional infeed roller. The
functions of the chipbreaker are to break chips
into small pieces, help avoid splintering of the
wood, help avoid board bounce on thinner
boards, to direct the flow of chips out of the
machine, and to permi t multiple board surfacing.

The chipbreaker has been factory set at 1/32”
(0.8mm) below the cut ti ng arc of t he knives, and
has been spring-tensioned pr oper ly.

Figure 13

User-made Gauge Bloc k

A chipb reaker set too low or

with excessive tension may prevent stock
from feeding into th e machi ne.

Pressure Bar

Most planing problems can be traced to
improper sett ing of the pressure bar. It s f uncti on
is to hold down the mat eri al after it passes under
the cutter head and throughout the remainder of
the cut. I ts basic setting i s to be in li ne with the
arc of the cutterhead knives.

If the pressure bar is too high, a shallow "clip"
will occur at each end of the board. If it is too
low, stock will not f eed through.

Use a gauge to set the full length of the
pressure bar to be .000-.001" (.02mm) below
the arc of the cutter head.

Figure 15 shows the height adjustment screw
(C) and the spri ng ten sion adj ustm ent scre w (D)
for the pressure bar. Loosen the hex nut and
rotate the screw as needed. Make sure the
setting on both end s of the pressure bar is the
same. Tight en the hex nuts when adj ustment i s
complete.

Figure 14

This initial setup is a starting point and final
adjustment may have to be made during a test
cut.

Figure 15

Outfeed Roller

The outfeed roller is of smooth, one-piece
construction to help avoid marring the finished
surface of the material being cut. It is spring
tensioned, and i ts f unct ion is to c onti nue to feed
the materi al through the machi ne after it leav es
the infeed roller. The correct free position
setting is 1/32" (0.8mm) below the arc of the
cutterhead knives.

Use a gauge, such as a bed and feed r oll gauge
or wood gauge block (see Figure 13) to check
the outf eed roll er i n the sam e manner as f or t he
infeed roller. Adjust as necessary using the
screws (E, Figur e 15). When fini shed adjusting,
tighten the hex nuts on the screws.

Table Rollers

The Planer has two table rollers which help
reduce friction of the stock on the table as it
feeds through t he machine. It is not possibl e to
give exact height setting of the table rollers
because each ty pe of wood beh aves di fferent ly.
As a general rule, however, the table rollers
should be set high when planing rough stock,
and set low for fi nish cut s.

The planer is equipped with a quick set table
roller adjustment. With a single lever, you can
raise the roll s from their fi nishing board hei ght to
a roughing board height. The range is 0.00 to

0.05”.

Figure 15 (repeated)

To adjust the hei ght of the table rollers, loosen
the handle (A, Figure 16) and move the quick­set lever (B, Figure 16) until the indicator is at
the desired setti ng on the scale. Re-tighten the
handle (A, Figure 16) to lock the setting.

NOTE: The handle (A) is adjustable. To re­position it , simply lift out on the handle, rotat e it
on the pin and release, making sure it seats
itself properly on the pin.

The table rollers are adjusted at the factory. If
they should need further or “fine” adjustment:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Loosen lock handle and positi on the quick-

set lever (Fi gur e 16) to zero.

3. Use a dial gauge (not provi ded) to find the

distance from table top to the apex of the
table roller. Zero the gauge at this position.

4. Place t he gauge over the ex treme right side

of the t able roller and fi nd the high point of
the table roller arc. The gauge should still
read zero.

Figure 16

14

5. If the gauge reading i s greater or le ss than

zero, reach beneat h the table with a wrench
and loosen the hex nut (C, F i gure 17) which
is above the cam (D, Figure 17) near the
end of the roller that needs adjusti ng. Rotate
the hex cap screw (E, Figure 17) until the
gauge reads zero.

6. Repeat the process for the left side of the

table roll er, and then r e-check the right side.
It is important that both ends of the table
roller be the same height to help prevent
skewing of t he board a s it f eeds through t he
machine.

7. Re-tighten the hex nuts (C, Figure 17) on

both ends of the table roller.

8. Repeat the procedure for the second table

roller.

Table Adjustments

The planer table is raised and lowered by twin
screws supported on beari ngs, and is guided by
machined surfaces on the side panels. The fit­up to prevent the table from rocking is cont roll ed
by two gibs in front . See Figure 18. These gibs
are pre-set at the factory and require no
attention. If, after extensive use of the planer,
some looseness in the table develops, these
gibs can be adjusted individually using the gib
screws provided so that the ways are lightly
contacti ng on all four surfaces. The gibs sho uld
be tight enough t o prevent rocki ng or m ovem ent
of the table when the pl aner is i n operation.

Figure 17

Figure 18

To perform accurate planing, t he table must be
parallel wit h the cutter head. Lack of parall elism
results in a taper ov er the width of the board. T o
check parallelism do the following:

1. Pl ace a gauge on t he table and c ontacti ng a

knife at t he apex of its arc. Do t his at each
end of the cutterhead and compare the
measurements.

2. If the table is not parall el to the cutterhead,

place the gauge at the end t hat needs to be
raised.

3. Loosen the three socket head cap screws

(A, Figure 19) beneath the table.

4. Place a rod-like object (such as a hex

wrench) into one of the open holes (B,
Figure 19) and t urn the shaft ( C, Figure 19)
to raise the t able until the gauge reads the
proper measurement. Or, the same effect
can be achiev ed by lowering the other side
of the table.

5. Re-tighten the screws (A, Figure 19).
NOTE: Thi s adjustment may generate the need

to recalibrate the table height pointer.

Operating Controls

The stop button is a mushroom style button
which is conv enient for “ emergency ” shutdowns.
After being pushed, the stop button remains
engaged. To re-start the planer, twist the stop
button clockwise until it pops back out.

Test Cutting and Troubleshooting

Using a piece of semi-finished stock, set up for a
1/16" (1.59mm) deep cut with t he quick-set table
roller adjustment (shown in Figure 16) set at
zero. Start the machine and, standing to one
side of the table, begin feeding the stock into the
machine.

Never stand directly in line

with stock or al lo w anyone else to do so, and
do not bend down to see how stock is
feeding. Shoul d a kickback occur, seriou s or
fatal injury could resul t .

The infeed roller should take the material and
force it under the chi pbreaker and cut terhead. I f
the materi al feeds through effortlessly, examine
the finished cut carefully for imperfections.
Learning to read a board for imperfections will
save hours in adjusting a planer to operate
properly.

Following are some problems that may arise
and their probable remedies. The Figure
illustrations are exaggerated for clarity. (Pages
19-21 also contai n Troubleshooting remedies).

Washboard Finish

A very pronounced washboard finish down the
full length of the board results from one knife
being too high and forced to do all the cutting.
See Figure 20. Re-set the high knife
accordingly.

Clip Marks

If "clip" marks occur 6" (152mm) in from each
end of the board, the pressure bar is too high.
See Figure 21. Turn both right and left hand
adjusting screws (see Figure 15) the same
amount, 1/4 turn clockwise or less, and take
another 1/16" (1.59mm) deep cut. Re-examine
the board.

Continue the operat e-adjust procedure until t he
clip marks disappear. Should the board fail to
feed through, back off sli ghtly on both adj usting
screws until feeding is smooth and the
imperfections do not re-appear. Lock the
pressure bar adj usting scre ws with t he jam nuts
provided.

Figure 20

(washboard)

Figure 21

(clip marks)

16

Snipe

Some amount of snipe may be inevitable with
many planer operations, but proper planer
adjustments can so minimize snipe as to make it
negligible.

If noticeabl e snipes appear on each end of the
material, as shown in Fi gure 22, a tabl e rol ler is
too high causing a sl ight lift of t he material as it
passes through the machine. Normally these
snipes are more notic eable on the traili ng end of
the board than on the l ead end, and most of ten
occur during planing of rough lumber.

Table roll ers must be el ev ated for runni ng r ough
or resaw lumber through the machine. When
material i s turned over t o surf ace the ot her side,
and you neglect to lower the table rollers for a
finish cut, then def init e snipes will appear on the
ends of the material.

Chatter

Chatter marks usually appear on thin material.
See Figure 23. Even at their lowest point, the
table roll ers are too high to handle t hin material.
Solve the problem by either using a slav e board
or making an auxiliary table out of Formica
countertop m aterial with cleati ng at each end to
keep it stati onar y ov er the planer table.

Figure 22

(snipe)

Figure 23

(chatter)

Tapers

If the machine planes a taper across the full
width of the board, as shown in Fi gure 24, the
table is not parallel with the cutterhead. First
check that al l knives are properly inst alled with
equal protrusi on from the c utterhead. If they are,
then the table itself must be adjusted. See
“Table Adjustm ents” on page 15.

Twisting

If material twists while feeding through the
planer, the pr essure bar, out feed roller or table
rollers may be out of level. Ref er to adj ustment
settings on pages 13 and 14.

Feed Restriction

This is caused either by the table rollers being
set too low for roughi ng operations or by a low
pressure bar. A bout 90 percent of t he time the
pressure bar is too l ow. As the sharp edge of the
planer knives wear, you must compensate for
this wear by raising the pressure bar an equal
amount on each side. Your first indication of
knife wear is hesitation in feed of the material
through the machine after it leaves the
corrugated infeed roller on its way out of the
machine. Disconnect machine from power
and adjust the pressure bar acordingly. The
material will free up and feed thr ough smoothly
when the planer is restart ed.

Figure 24

(taper)

17

Never attempt pressure bar

adjustment while planer is connected to
power.

Feed restriction can also occur due to pitch
buildup on the table. Be sure the table surface is
clean. Occasi onally dusti ng the surface with talc
will aid in smoother feeding and help prevent
pitch buildup.

Halted Feeding

If the infeed roller takes the stock, the
chipbreakers l ift, and just as you hear t he kniv es
contact the material, it stops feeding, then the
pressure bar i s too low. Re set the pressure bar
(see page 13).

Maintenance

Periodic inspecti ons are required to ensure that
the machine is in proper adjustment, that all
screws are tight, that belt s are in good condition,
that dust has not accumulated in the electrical
enclosures, and that t here are no loose or worn
electric al c onnec tions.

Buildup of sawdust and other debris can cause
your machine to plane inaccurately. Periodic
cleaning is not only recommended but
mandatory for accurate planing.

Close-fitting parts, such as the table locking
rods, the cutterhead slot and gibs, should be
cleaned with a cloth or brush and non­flammable solvent and freed from clinging
foreign matter.

Lubrication

The gear box oil should be changed at least
once a year. Rem ove the drain pl ug (A, Figure

25) to drain t he oi l i nt o an appropri ate c ontai ner.
Replace the drai n plug and f ill t he gear box wit h
60 to 90 weight gear oi l through the fill hole (B,
Figure 25). Capacit y is 0.494 gall on (1. 87L). The
sight glass (C, Figure 25) should be checked
periodical ly and oil topped off as necessary.

Figure 25

The recommended lubrication for roller chains
used in medium to slow speed operation is to
simply wipe the chain clean. When there is an
appreciable buildup of dust, dirt or wood
shavings, use an oi l clot h but never pour t he oil
directly on the chain. Over-oiling defeats the
purpose of t he l ubricati on, sinc e it t ends to i nvite
the collection of dust, shavings, etc. and works
into members of the chain. This hastens wear
and leads to prematur e r eplac em ent.

Use caution and proceed
slowly when working with or around the
cutterhead kni ves.

Remove resin and other accumulations from
feed rolls and table with a non-flammable
solvent.

Periodically check all the chains and belts for
proper tension and adjust accordingly if
required.

TIP: If a f oreign object nicks the kniv es on the
straight cutterhead (Model 201), instead of
throwing them away or trying to grind out the
deep nick, simply stagger the knives in the
head, moving one k nife no mor e than 1/4” to the
right and another knif e no m ore than 1/4” t o the
left. The nick will not be noti c eable.

The bearings on the cutterhead are factory
lubricated and sealed. They require no further
attention.

Periodically oil the bearings on the infeed and
outfeed roll ers, through the oil cups located on
the bearing block s (Fi gur e 26) .

When the planer overloads on the
circuit breaker built into the motor
starter, it takes time for the machine
to cool down before restar t. Allow
machine to adequately cool before
attempting r estar t. If problem persists,
check amp setting on t he m otor
starter insi de the electrical box.

One cause of overl oad trips which are
not electrical in nature is too deep a
cut. The solution is to take a lighter
cut. If too deep a cut is not the
problem, check the amp setting on
the overload r elay . Match the full load
amps on the motor as noted on the
motor plate.

If amp setting is corr ec t, then t here is
probably a loose electrical lead or a
failed component . S ee items below.

Verify that planer is on a circuit of
correct size. If circuit size is correct,
there is probabl y a loose el ectr ic al
lead. Check am p setting on motor
