• Use recommended accessories (refer to page ??). Use Of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons. Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible injury. • Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work.) • • Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in place and in proper operating condition. • WARNING: Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing. Use this manual to order replacement parts.
UNWRAP LINE CORD • Refer to Figure 4. • The line cord (A) is securely wrapped around cord wraps (B), on the rear of the planer. Base of planer has four mounting holes (A). Holes form a rectangle 12" x 20". Use a square to mark )osition on work surface, r : t Aia ...........................-\, Figure 6 - Mount Planer • If pra-drilled holes do not exist on work surface, drill four holes to form a 12 x 20" rectangle.
• accept the tool plug. Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding providesa path of least resistance for electrical shock. • WARNING: Do nat permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing from outlet. • MOTOR Planer is supplied with a 2'/," HP motor installed. Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
SWITCH LOCK +--, -,( .... B Refer to Figure 11. The planer can be locked from unauthorized use by locking the switch. To lock the switch: • Turn the switch to OFF position and disconnect planer from power source. • Pull the key (A) out. The switch can not De turned ON with the key (A) removed. +c NOTE: Should the key (A) be removed from the switch at the ON position+the switch can be turned OFF but cannot be turned ON.

Example: Plane a 2" thick workpiece up to 1V,". • Raise or lower rollercase until it is just above the workpiece. • Position the workpiece on the planer table below the rollercase. • Depress gauge (A) and rotate until the 1'/," is positioned on the front and facing you. • Release gauge.
DEPTH OF CUT AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES Thickness, planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness which the planer will produce is indicated by the scale (A), and depth-of-cut-gauge (B). Preset the planer to the desired thickness of finished workplace using gauge (E). See =Workpiece Thickness Gauge", page 6. • Thickness planer is a precision woodworking machine and should be used on quality lumber only.
• Position the workpiece with the face to be planed on top. • Turn the planer ON. • Rest board end on in-feed roller plate and direct board into planer. • Gently slide workpiece into the infeed side of the planer until the infeed roller begins to advance the workpiece. • Planer will operate best if kept in good condition and properly adjusted. CHECK FOR WORN BLADES Let go of the workpiece and allow automatic feed to advance the workpiece. • Do not push/pull on workpiece.
• Remove gibusing two magnets (D) provided. BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT WARNING: Turn planer off and disconnect from power source. Brush life depends on amount of load on motor. Regularly inspect brushes after 100 hours of use. Brushes are located on either side of planer motor. \ _ ,Figure 20 - Remove GIb t! -- . i I NOTE: Magnets can be easily disengaged from gib by tilting them to left or right. CAUTION: Blade edges are extremely sharp. Keep fingers away from blades at all times.
• Set the planer back on it's base. LUBRICATION • • Motor and cutterheed bearings are sealed and need no lubrication. • Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned of debris and greased. The base cover can be coated with a lubricant such as furniture wax, to make the workpiece feed smoother. Be sure the lubricant used does not affect Make a test cut to verify adjustment. REPLACING V-BELT Refer to Figures 23, 24 and 25. Inadequate tension in the V-belt (Fig. 25, Key No.
