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 12. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don’t force a machine or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Damage to the machine and/or injury may result. 13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PLANERS FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL 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.
THREE PHASE OPERATION Three phase MACHINES are not supplied with a power cord. They must be permanently connected to the building electrical system and grounded according to the National Electrical Code. Since they must be permanently connected to the building electrical system, extension cords cannot be used with three phase MACHINES.
CARTON CONTENTS Your new 15" Planer is shipped complete in one box (Fig. 2). IMPORTANT: Care must be taken when removing the machine from the container. The machine is very heavy and a minimum of four people will be required to lift the machine (see the section “LIFTING THE MACHINE”). Figure 3 Illustrates the loose items supplied with your machine. UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container(s).
ASSEMBLY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED 1) - Open end wrench (10 and 12mm) - provided 2) - Open end wrench (14 and 17mm) - provided 3) - Hex wrench (6mm) - provided 4) - Hex wrench (5mm) - provided 5) - Hex wrench (3mm) - provided 6) - Hex wrench (2.
ASSEMBLING SWITCH TO PLANER (THREE PHASE MACHINE ONLY) The switch for the three phase 15² Planer is supplied wired to the motor and is to be fastened to the planer as follows: C A B B A Fig. 10A 1. Line up the two holes (A) Fig. 10A, in the switch bracket (C) with the two threaded holes (B) in the left front of the machine. C D Fig. 10B 2. Fasten the switch bracket (C) Fig. 10B, to the planer using the two screws and flat washers (D) as shown.
ASSEMBLING ACCESSORY 50-314 STAND E G If you purchased the accessory 50-314 Stand for use with your planer, assemble the stand as follows: C A 1. Assemble the stand, as shown in Fig. 11, using the 24 carriage bolts, 8 flat washers, 8 lockwashers and 24 nuts supplied. NOTE: Eight carriage bolts (A), flat washers, lockwashers and nuts are used to mount the legs to the top shelf of the stand and sixteen carriage bolts (B) and nuts are used to mount the front, rear and side tie bars to the legs.
OPERATION OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING MACHINE SINGLE PHASE MACHINE The on-off push button switch is located on the motor junction box. To turn the machine “ON” push the start button (A) Fig. 18, and to turn the machine “OFF” push the stop button (B). A B Fig. 18 LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION C IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position using a padlock (C) Fig.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT D B B The depth of cut on your planer is controlled by raising or lowering the head assembly (A) Fig. 22, which contains the cutterhead and feed rollers. The head assembly (A) moves on four precision ground steel columns, three of which are shown at (B). To adjust for depth of cut, simply loosen the two head assembly lock knobs, one of which is shown at (C), and turn the head raising and lowering handwheel (D).
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS WHEN INSPECTING AND CLEANING THE ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS, MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. A series of anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 27, are provided on the infeed end of the planer, to prevent kickback of the workpiece during the planing operation. These antikickback fingers operate by gravity and no adjustment is required.
CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND REPLACING KNIVES A To check, adjust or replace the knives, proceed as follows: B A DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Remove four screws (A) Fig. 30 and Fig. 31, and remove top cover (B). 2. Loosen two screws (C) Fig. 32, and pivot motor assembly (D) to the front. NOTE: Belt tension is not disturbed when pivoting the motor forward. Fig. 30 THE CUTTER-HEAD AND KNIVES ARE NOW EXPOSED AND CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN AS THE KNIVES ARE VERY SHARP. 3. Remove the three screws (E) Fig.
E F G Fig. 34 Fig. 35 5. If the knives are removed for sharpening, care must be exercised in replacing and resetting them, as follows: A. Remove the knife (M) Fig. 37, locking bar (N), and locking screws (K) from the cutterhead. Repeat this process for the two remaining knives, locking bars, and locking screws. B. Thoroughly clean the knives, knife slots, locking bars and locking screws. Check the screws. If the threads appear worn or stripped or if the heads are becoming rounded, replace them.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF CHIPBREAKER The chipbreaker extends down around the front of the cutterhead and raises as stock is fed through the planer. The chipbreaker “breaks or curls” the chips as they leave the cutterhead and the bottom edge of the chipbreaker helps hold the stock flat down on the table during the planing operation. The bottom of the chipbreaker must be parallel to the knives and set 0.020" below the cutting circle.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF INFEED ROLLER The infeed roller is adjusted at the factory at 0.040" below the cutting circle. To check and adjust the height of the infeed roller, proceed as follows: B DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Make sure the knives are adjusted properly as explained under “CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND REPLACING KNIVES.” A 2. Place the gage block (A) Fig. 42, on the table directly underneath the cutterhead, as shown. Using a 0.
ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION OF INFEED AND OUTFEED ROLLERS A B The infeed and outfeed rollers are those parts of your planer that feed the stock while it is being planed. The feed rollers are under spring tension and this tension must be sufficient to feed the stock uniformly through the planer without slipping but should not be too tight that it causes damage to the board. The tension should also be equal at both ends of each roller.
ADJUSTING CUTTINGHEAD PARALLEL TO TABLE The cuttinghead is set parallel to the table at the factory and no further adjustment should be necessary. If your machine is planing a taper, first check to see if the knives are set properly in the cutterhead. Then check to see if the cuttinghead is set parallel to the table as follows: B A DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. Fig. 49 1. Place gage block (A) Fig. 49, on table directly under front edge of head casting (B) as shown.
MACHINE USE When using your machine, you may want to follow these few simple steps for achieving the best results possible. 1. True Up One Face – Feed one face of the board over a jointer, making thin cuts with each pass, until the entire surface is flat. 2. Plane to Thickness – Place the side you just surfaced in STEP 1 face down and feed the board through the planer, plane until this side is flat.
MAINTENANCE KEEP MACHINE CLEAN 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. Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air. A FAILURE TO START Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet.
