General Safety Warnings

KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications, work

capabilities, and its specic potential hazards.

ALWAYS GROUND ALL TOOLS.

If your tool is equipped with a three-pronged plug, you must plug it into a three-hole electric receptacle.
If you use an adapter to accommodate a two-pronged receptacle, you must attach the adapter plug to a
known ground. Never remove the third prong of the plug.

ALWAYS AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Never use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep your work area well lighted and clear of clutter.

ALWAYS REMOVE THE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES FROM TOOLS AFTER USE.

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning it on.

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

ALWAYS KEEP VISITORS AWAY FROM RUNNING MACHINES.

All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.

ALWAYS MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF.
Childproof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

NEVER OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
MEDICATION, OR ALCOHOL.

ALWAYS WEAR PROPER APPAREL.

Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that might get caught in moving parts. Rubber-soled footwear is
recommended for the best footing.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES AND WEAR HEARING PROTECTION.
Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

NEVER OVERREACH.
Keep your proper footing and balance at all times.

NEVER STAND ON TOOLS.
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT TOOLS.
Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, and cutters.

ALWAYS AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in cord.

NEVER LEAVE TOOLS RUNNING UNATTENDED.

ALWAYS CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.

Before initial or continual use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be checked to
assure 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 damaged parts should immediately be properly repaired or replaced.

Special Safety Rules For Planers and Jointers

1. Regularly check that the blades and lock bars are locked tight in cutter block.

2. Always keep hands and ngers away from the blades..

3. Never make jointing or planing cuts deeper than 1/8”.

4. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be planed.

5. Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.

6. Use extra supports (roller stands, saw horses, tables etc, for any workpieces large enough to tip
when not held down to the table top.

7. Check for proper blade size and type for thickness and material being cut.

8. Plane only one workpiece at a time.

9. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause ngers or hand to

move into the cutter block.

10. Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with a possible kick back.

CAUTION! To install the legs the
machine must be placed onto its side.
The machine is heavy. Additional help
or a suitable lifting device or support
will be required for lifting the machine
onto the stand.

Note: With the machine laying on
its side, it is easier to gain access to
the underside to secure the nuts and
washers.

Note: When assembling this Planer/
Jointer, DO NOT fully tighten the

nuts and bolts until the assembly is
complete.

3.2 Stand Assembly

1. Before laying the machine down
on its side, remove the spindle cover
from the back of the machine Fig.3.2.
Preferably though; if the switch has
not yet been installed then lay the
machine down on this side, as this is
steel panelling with no obstructions.

2. Gently lay the machine onto it's
side. Ensuring that the weight of the
machine is distributed equally across
the main frame.

Note: The waste packaging may be
utilised to support the machine on its
side, preventing damage especially if
the machine is laid on the side which
has a plastic cover.

3. With the machine on its side, locate
the first leg and secure it to the main
frame of the machine, using the nuts,
bolts and washers provided Fig.3.3A,
Fig.3.3B and Fig.3.3C.

4. In the same way, attach the second
leg to the main frame Fig.3.4.

5. Continue the same process until
legs three and four have been se­cured to the main frame Fig.3.5. How­ever, it may not be possible to fix the
lower fixing bolts until the machine is
in the upright position.

6. With assistance or a suitable lift­ing device, return the machine to an
upright position, ensuring that all four
legs are stable, secure and on a level
footing Fig.3.6. Fit the final four bolts.

CAUTION! Do not attempt to lift the
machine single handed. Seek assist­ance or use a suitable lifting device.

3. Thread bar through underside of ta­ble then re-fit and secure collar Fig.4.3.

4. Hold table up to machine while
threading depth of cut control bar into
spacer shaft Fig.4.4.

5. Fit the infeed table into position
under the table cover rails and wind
the depth of cut bar until the uppermost
line on the depth scale is registered.
Re-fit and secure the table cover rails,
Fig.4.5. These rails should not be fully
tightened as the table needs to slide up
and down in order to adjust the depth of
cut. As a guide fully tighten the socket
head cap screws and back them off a

1/4 turn.

4.2 Installing the thicknessing dust
extraction outlet:
Stand to the opposite side of the ma­chine, locate the slotted extrusion and
hold the extraction outlet into position
Fig.4.6. Secure this outlet into the slot
using 4 self tap screws and washers
Fig.4.7.

4.3 Installing the outfeed table:

1. Hold the outfeed table over the lugs
on planer body and lock the table in
place with the levers Fig.4.8.

4.4 Table adjustment:

1. Ensuring that the infeed table is set
to the upper line on the scale run a
straight edge across both tables. They
should be set at the same height and
perfectly level, if not adjust the outfeed
table using the adjustment plates on
either side of the table.

2. To adjust the angle of the table use
the jacking screws Fig.4.9.

3. To adjust the height of the table undo
the Allen bolts and slide the mounting
plate accordingly Fig.4.10. To make this
adjustment it is advisable to remove the
table and set the gap into the elongated
hole with dividers or callipers.

4.5 Installing the fence:

1. Attach the fence carrier casting to the side of the
infeed table using 2 x 10mm bolts Fig.4.11.

2. Slide the fence assembly on to the fence carrier
and tighten the lower ratchet handle to secure. Now
fit the guard plate Fig.4.12.

4.6 Setting the fence:
Once the fence is in position it must now be accu­rately set at 90º. To do this you will need an accurate
square. Loosen the upper ratchet handle and adjust
the fence into position against the square. Once at
90º tighten the upper ratchet handle to secure the
position. Now adjust the 90º stop screw against the
registration point this will ensure that the fence al­ways returns to 90º. Fig.4.13.
This same operation should also be carried out for
the 45º stop screw.
