ON/OFF CONTROLS

The machine is started by pressing the green (shrouded)
"ON" button (A) Fig. 10. To stop the machine, push red
(mushroom type) "OFF" button (8).
RAISING AND
LOWERING THE TABLE
For fast and easy changes in thickness settings to accom­
modate thick or thin stock, the table can be rapidly raised
or lowered by pulling up or pushing down on table raising
and lowering control lever (C) Fig. 10. NOTE: The machine
must be turned "ON" and feed roll lever (H) Fig. 11,
engaged when doing this.
Fine adjustment to the table height can be accomplished
by loosening lock knob (D) Fig. 10, and turning table
raising and lowering handwheel (E). Tighten lock knob (D)
after table height adjustment is made. The English/ Metric
scale (F) Fig. 10, indicates the table height setting.
The English/Metric scale and shelf
the front of the table is used to quickly determine the
thickness of stock, before or after planing, by simply
placing the stock on the shelf as shown in Fig. 12. This
enables you to quickly position the table for the next cut.
NOTE: The setting of the table to its final position should
always be made by RAISING THE TABLE to the desired
setting and NOT LOWERING THE TABLE. This insures
that all backlash will be removed from the raising and
lowering screws.
