SAFETY RULES Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PLANERS 1. DO NOT operate the tool until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. 16. MAKE SURE the workpiece is free from nails and other foreign objects which could cause injury or damage to the blades. 2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of planers, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person. 17.
CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool's plug.
EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole receptacle which will accept the tool's plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. DD, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the tool and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Peel protective film from the table surface. Remove and clean the protective coating from the cutterhead. Remove the protective coating from all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted sufaces with a good quality paste wax.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLING RAISING AND LOWERING HANDLE 1. Assemble raising and lowering handle (A) Fig. 4, to shaft (B) and fasten in place with screw (C). NOTE: Make certain the flats of the handle and flat on shaft are aligned with each other. Fig. 4 2. Flip handle (A) upward as shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 5 LOWERING EXTENSION TABLES The infeed and outfeed extension tables (A) Fig. 6, are shipped attached to the machine in the raised position.
ASSEMBLING CHIP DEFLECTOR 1. Assemble chip deflector (A) Fig. 7, to the planer by inserting end of chip deflector over the top of the cutterhead. Make certain the two screws, one of which is shown at (B) are inserted upward through the two slots (C) in the chip deflector. Fig. 7 2. Fasten chip deflector (A) Fig. 8, to planer using two flat washers and wing nuts (D). Fig.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING PLANER The "ON/OFF" switch (A) Fig. 13, is located on the front of the planer motor. To turn the machine "ON", move the switch toggle (B) to the up position. To turn the switch "OFF", move the switch toggle (B) to the down position. LOCKING SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent unauthorized use. Grasp the switch toggle (B) and pull it out as shown in Fig.
LEVELING EXTENSION TABLES For optimum performance, the extension tables, one of which is shown at (A)Fig. 17, must be level with the planer table. To check the extension tables and adjust if necessary, proceed as follows: 1. Place a straight edge (B) Fig. 17, on the infeed extension table (A) with one end extending out over the extension table as shown. Check to see if the infeed table is level with the planer table on both ends of the extension table. !" 2.

MAINTENANCE BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT CAUTION: BEFORE INSPECTING THE BRUSHES, DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Brush life varies. It depends on the load on the motor. Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new machine or after a new set of brushes has been installed. After the first check, examine them after about 10 hours of use until such time that replacement is necessary. Fig. 26 The brush holders, one of which is shown at (A) Fig.
