Page 20: Operations
FIG. 8 OPERATIONS NOTE: This operations section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this planer. However, it is in no way comprehensive of every planer operation. It is strongly recommended that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your planer while minimizing the risks. - Page 21 OPERATIONS (cont.) QUICK SET THICKNESS INDICATOR The Quick Set Thickness Indicator (D), located on the bottom right side of the planer, provides a simple way to preset the finished thickness of a workpiece. The indicator can be set to 1/8”, 1/4”, 1/2”, or 3/4”.
- Page 22 OPERATIONS (cont.) GETTING PREPARED It is always a good idea to use a piece of scrap wood for your first planing attempt. Also, before each use of the planer, make it a habit of checking for loose fasteners, fittings or hardware. Turn the planer ON and allow it to reach full speed.

Page 23: Maintenance
OPERATIONS (cont.) AVOIDING SNIPE Snipe, gouging or depression of the board at the ends, can occur when the board is not properly supported. For workpieces longer than 4 ft, greater care must be taken to reduce the problem because the additional length of the workpiece translates into more unsupported weight pulling down on the end of the board. - Page 24 MAINTENANCE (cont.) GEAR LUBRICATION The gears in the gear box should be lubricated periodically. Facing the front of the machine, remove the raise/ lower handle. SEE FIG. 1 page 13. Remove the 9 screws holding the top cover on the machine. 5 screws are located on top and 4 on the upper sides.
- Page 25 MAINTENANCE (cont.) Place a light coat of multi-purpose grease on the teeth of the gears (D) and a light coat of spray lubricant on the chain (E). Do not over-lubricate. SEE FIG 17. Replace all covers, panels and guards, that you removed once lubrication is complete. BRUSH REPLACEMENT Brush life will vary depending on the load placed on the motor.
- Page 26 MAINTENANCE (cont.) Once the brush has been removed, inspect the carbon (B), the spring (C), and the wire (D). SEE FIG 16. FIG 16 If the carbon of either brush is worn down to 3/16” or less, both brushes should be replaced. Also if the spring or wire are burned or damaged in any way, both brushes should be replaced.
