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.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container(s). 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 surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax.
CUTTERHEAD GUARD B 1. Attach the cutterhead guard (A) Fig. 7 to the planer by inserting the end of the guard over the top of the cutterhead. Place the slots in the cutterhead guard (C) over the tapped holes (B). C 2. Fasten cutterhead guard (A) Fig. 8 to planer using two knobs, one of which is shown at (D). A MAKE SURE THAT THE CUTTERHEAD GUARD IS PROPERLY SECURED WITH THE KNOBS BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE. Fig. 7 A D Fig.
A A D C Fig. 10 Fig. 11 RAISING AND LOWERING HEAD ASSEMBLY D The head assembly (A) Fig. 12A contains the cutterhead feed rollers, cutterhead guard and motor. Raising and lowering the head assembly controls the depth-of-cut on your planer. To raise or lower the head assembly, rotate the handle (D). B NOTE: One revolution of the handle will move the cutterhead up or down approximately 5/64" (2 mm).
LEVELING EXTENSION TABLES The extension tables (A) and (G) Fig. 14 must be level with the planer table. To check the extension tables and adjust if necessary: G 1. Place a straight edge (B) Fig. 14 on the planer table (E) with one end extending out over the infeed table (A). Check to see if the infeed table is level with the planer table on both ends of the planer table. 2. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the locknut (C) Fig.
CARRYING HANDLE/STOCK TRANSFER BAR A 1. Your planer is provided with a foam covered carrying handle (A) Fig. 17, located on top of the machine, for ease in transporting the planer. 2. The carrying handle (A) Fig. 18, also doubles as a stock transfer bar for transferring stock from the outfeed to infeed end of the machine. This is helpful when planing long material, as the workpiece can easily be transferred back to the infeed end of the machine for additional cuts. Fig.
4. Insert knife transfer tool (G) Fig. 21, underneath center of knife. Lift the knife transfer tool up until knife (H) separates from pins (J) and pull out and remove knife as shown.
