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. Minimum gauge for Cord sets
shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Electrical Connection

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Volts, 50/60 Hz or "AC only" means your planer
must be operated only with alternating current and never
with direct current. Voltage decrease of more than 10%
will cause loss of power and overheating. All D
are factory tested, if this tool does not operate, check the
power supply.

Intended Use

This planer is designed for wood working.
DO nOT use under wet conditions or in presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
DO nOT let children come into contact with the tool.
Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use
this tool.
Carriage Head Lock (Fig. D)
Your planer is equipped with a carriage head lock lever
located on top of the motor. This device secures the carriage
that holds the cutterhead to the four posts of your planer.
By locking the carriage to the four posts, the movement that
causes snipe is drastically minimized.
