SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. Learning the machine’s application, limitations, and specific hazards will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and injury. 2.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. 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 matching receptacle which will accept the machine’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 matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.

LOWERING THE EXTENSION TABLES The infeed and outfeed table extensions (A) Fig. 3 are shipped in the “UP” position on the machine. Lower both table extensions (A) to the "DOWN" position (Fig. 3). To check and adjust the top surface of the table extensions (A) level with the planer table, refer to the section of this manual entitled “LEVELING TABLE EXTENSIONS.” A A Fig. 3 CUTTERHEAD LOCK HANDLE Use the supplied wrench to attach the cutterhead lock handle (A) Figs.
FASTENING PLANER TO SUPPORTING SURFACE During operation, if there is any tendency for the planer to tip over, slide or “walk” across the supporting surface, the planer must be secured to the supporting surface. Four holes (two of which are at (A) Fig. 9) are provided for this purpose. A Operate the planer on a flat, level surface. If you attach the planer to the one of the accessory stands (models 50-326 or 50-322), align the four holes in the base of the machine, two of which are shown at (A) Fig.
ADJUSTING THE HEAD ASSEMBLY The head assembly (A) Fig. 12 contains the cutterhead, feed rollers, chip deflector and motor. Raising and lowering the head assembly (A) controls the depth of cut. To adjust the head assembly, rotate the cutterhead lock handle (B) counter-clockwise to unlock the cutterhead. Turn the cutterhead adjusting handle (C) clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the cutterhead (A). One revolution of handle (C) will move the cutterhead up or down 1/16".
FULL RANGE DEPTH STOP 1. You can use the depth stop (A) Fig. 15 to set the cutterhead to a pre-determined thickness. The stop can be set at any depth from 1/8" to 6-1/2" for repetitive planing. 2. To set the depth stop, lower the cutterhead to the desired depth. 3. Rotate the depth stop knob (A) Fig. 15 clockwise, while applying light downward pressure, until it stops. A NOTE: If you rotate the depth stop knob past the stopping point, the cutterhead adjusting handle will start to move. Fig. 15 4.
LEVELING TABLE EXTENSIONS For optimum performance, level the table extensions, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 19, with the planer table. To check and adjust: B DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE! E C 1. Place a straight edge (B) Fig. 19 on the planer table with one end of the straight edge extending out over the infeed table extension (A). Check to see if the table extension is level with the planer table on both sides of table extension. 2.
MACHINE USE RECOMMENDED DEPTH OF CUT RECOMMENDED DEPTH OF CUT NOTE: One revolution of the cutterhead adjusting handle will move the cutterhead up or down 1/16". You can make an 1/8" depth of cut in soft woods up to 6" wide and in hard woods up to 4" wide. (See Fig. 23). For 10", 12", and 13" wide soft wood, use a maximum depthof-cut of 1/16". For 10", 12", and 13" wide hard wood, use a maximum depth-of-cut of 3/64" (Fig. 23). IMPORTANT: A shallow depth-of-cut will produce a better finish.
WRENCH STORAGE You can store your supplied wrench (A) Fig. 25 in the wrench storage hole (B), located on the left rear side of the machine. CARRYING HANDLES Carrying handles (B) Fig. 26 are provided on both sides of the planer at the base and the top. B A B B Fig. 26 Fig. 25 STOCK TRANSFER BAR You can use the stock transfer bar (A) Fig. 27 for transferring stock (especially long workpieces) from the outfeed end to the infeed end of the machine for additional cuts. A Fig.
MAINTENANCE REPLACING KNIVES The knives supplied with your planer are double edged and reversible so that you can turn the knives end-for-end when one edge becomes dull or chipped. To change the knives: C DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE! 1. 2. 3. Remove the two top covers (C) Fig. 28. Raise the head assembly (B) to 4" on the “Scale and Pointer”. Remove the two screws (A) Fig. 28. Pull the cutterhead guard (B) straight out. B A Fig. 28 The knives are sharp.
8. Reverse the knife (H) Fig. 32 or install a new knife. Position the magnetized knife transfer tool (G) on top of knife. Place the knife in the cutterhead underneath the locking bar (D) with the bevel edge up. Ensure that the pins in the cutterhead and locking bar engage with the holes in the knife. A H D 9. Remove the magnetized knife transfer tool and tighten the seven screws loosened in STEP 7. 10. To replace the other knife, repeat STEPS 5 THROUGH 10. Fig. 32 D 11.
LUBRICATION To periodically lubricate the gears in the gear box, the feed roller bushings, and the spindles and columns: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Remove the two top covers (A) Fig. 36. Remove the screw (B) Fig. 38. Remove the depth stop assembly. Remove the two 6mm screws (C) Fig. 36. Lift the top left machine cover (D), and pull out the side cover (E) Fig. 36. Remove the two screws (F) Fig. 37 and remove the gear housing cover (D) Fig. 37.
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN LUBRICATION Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly.
