BEFORE USING YOUR MACHINE
To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before operating the machine.
1. Some dust created by using power tools 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, cement, and other
masonry products.
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 lter out microscopic particles.
2. READ the entire Owner’s Manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended applications.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3 prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The 3rd prong is used to ground the tool and provide protection against accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove the 3rd prong. See Grounding Instructions on the following pages.
5. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of ammable liquids or gasses.
6. ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and organized. DO NOT work in an environment with oor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease, and wax.
7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT permit people to be in the immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation for which it was not designed. It will do a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations for which the tool was intended.

25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT
INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust
and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly tting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. The table on the following page shows the cor­rect size to use depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an exten­sion cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG.
20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep all blades and tool bits sharp, dress grinding wheels and change other abrasive accessories when worn.
21. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that they operate properly, are not dam­aged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.
22. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED, OR
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, MEDICATION OR ALCOHOL.
23. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer than attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and requires a grounding plug (not included). The plug MUST be plugged into a matching elec­trical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY ANY PLUG. If it will not t the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualied electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment ground­ing conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
EXTENSION CORDS
THE USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS MACHINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. For best power and safety, plug the machine directly into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet that is within the supplied cord length of the machine.
If and extension cord needs to be used, it should only be for a limited operation of the machine. The exten­sion cord should be as short as possible in length, and have a minimum gauge size of 14AWG.
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use a tool with a damaged cord, since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.
Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and overheating of tool. When operating a power tool out­doors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded when installing or replacing a plug.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS THE PROPER TYPE OF A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG THAT MATCHES THE MACHINE’S 3-PRONG PLUG AND ALSO THE 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG. *
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDIATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a 120 volt electrical receptacle. FIGURE A shows the type of the 220v, 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that has a grounding conductor that is required if the motor wiring is changed. See page 21.
Sample of 220 volt plug required for this machine.
Consult a qualied electrician if the distance of the machine from the electrical panel is greater than 30 feet.
FIG. A
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with your power tool.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to
be certied SJT type or better.

12. Regularly check that the blades are locked tight in the cutterhead.
13. Always keep hands and fingers away from the cutterhead, chip exhaust opening, feed rollers, belts and pulleys to prevent injury. Use push blocks when jointing wood shorter than 12" long, plus any narrow or thin stock.
14. Never joint wood less than 8" long, widths under 3/4", or material less than 1/4" thick.
15. Never make cuts deeper than 1/8”. Multiple cuts, 1/16" or less, produce better finish results.
16. Make sure there are no loose knots, nails, staples, dirt or foreign objects in the workpiece to be surfaced.
17. Use extra caution with large, warped, very small or awkward workpieces. Joint warped boards flat before planing.
18. Use extra supports (roller stands, saw horses, tables etc, for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held
down to the table top surfaces.
19. Surface wood in the same direction of the grain, not across the grain. Never plane end cuts or end grain.
20. Joint and plane only one workpiece at a time. Vary the feeding of the workpieces along the cutterhead, center/left/right, so that all of the knives get used and thus remain sharp, longer.
21. Never reach inside of a running machine, and avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause ngers or a hand to move into the cutterhead.
22. Do not clear a jammed workpiece while the machine is running. Stop the machine, unplug it from the power scource, and then remove the jammed workpiece. Lowering the table may be necessary to dislodge the workpiece.
23. Keep your face and body to one side of the machine during use, out of line with a possible 'kick back' (lumber caught in by the rotating cutterehead and thrown back towards the operator).
24. The use of any accessories or attachments not recommended may cause injury to you and damage your machine.
25. Sharpen or replace dull or chipped knives immediately, as injury to the user, or the machine, may result.
26. Replacement knives/inserts should be from, or through a source recommended by the manufacturer.
27. Remove material or debris from the work area. Keep work area neat and clean.
Use of this planer/jointer still presents risks that cannot be eliminated by the manufacturer. Therefore,
This owner’s manual is not a teaching aid and is intended to show
assembly, adjustments, and general use.
