Page 7: Introduction
Introduction This manual is provided by WMH Tool Group covering the safe operation and maintenance procedures for a Powermatic Model WP2510 Planer. This manual contains instructions on installation, safety precautions, general operating procedures, maintenance instructions and parts breakdown. This machine has been designed and constructed to provide years of trouble free operation if used in accordance with instructions set forth in this manual. -
Page 8: Unpacking
Read the instruction manual thoroughly for assembly, maintenance and safety instructions. NOTE: To remove the box from atop the planer table, loosen the table lock handle, push in the elevating handwheel (see Figure 3) and rotate the handwheel to lower the table. -
Page 9: Installation And Assembly
Remove any straps or boards holding the planer to the pallet. Place straps under the four lifting hooks at front and back to raise the planer off the pallet and move it to location. Make sure the straps will not damage buttons or levers on the front of the planer. -

Planer. The machine should be connected to a dedicated circuit. extension cord recommended for the WP2510 Planer. 230 Volt Operation The Planer is factory wired for 230 volt, but can be converted to 460 volt if so desired (see “Converting From 230 Volt to 460 Volt”). -
Page 11: Converting From 230 Volt To 460 Volt
Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt Consult the diagrams on pages 54 and 55 for specific information on the following changes. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Change the lead connections to the main motor and to the table hoist motor. 3. -
Page 12: Feed Rate
Feed Rate The planer is equipped with selectable feed rate rollers that feed stock at 20, 25 or 30 feet per minute. To adjust speed, rotate the lever shown in Figure 4. IMPORTANT: Change feed rate only while the machine is running. -
Page 13: The Planer's Feed System
Make sure all knife inserts are secure in the cutterhead. Failure to comply may allow knife inserts to loosen and be flung from the machine during operation. The Planer’s Feed System (Figure 8) 1. Anti-Kickback Fingers 2. Infeed Roller 3. Chipbreaker 4. - Page 14 The tension should be equal at both ends of the roller.
- Page 15 11). When finished adjusting, tighten the hex nuts on the screws (F, Figure 11). Table Rollers The Planer has two table rollers which help reduce friction of the stock on the table as it feeds through the machine. It is not possible to give exact height setting of the table rollers because each type of wood behaves differently.

Page 16: Table Adjustments
8. Repeat the procedure for the second table roller. Table Adjustments The planer table is raised and lowered by twin screws supported on bearings, and is guided by machined surfaces on the side panels. The fit- up to prevent the table from rocking is controlled by gibs. -
Page 17: Test Cutting And Troubleshooting
Learning to read a board for imperfections will save hours in adjusting a planer to operate properly. Following are some problems that may arise and their probable remedies. The illustrations are exaggerated for clarity. - Page 18 Solve the problem by either using a slave board or making an auxiliary table out of Formica countertop material with cleating at each end of the table to keep it stationary over the planer table. Tapers If the machine planes a taper across the full width of the board, as shown in Figure 19, the table is not parallel with the cutterhead.

Page 20: Controller (M15S) Operating Instructions
The recommended lubrication for roller chains used in medium to slow speed operation is to simply wipe the chain clean. When there is an appreciable buildup of dust, dirt or wood shavings, use an oil cloth but never pour the oil directly on the chain. -
Page 21: Operation Modes
When the backward key is pressed, the planer table moves up. (This is also achieved using the “Table Up” push button on the planer). In Manual Mode, the planer table moves as long as a key is pressed and held. When the key is released, the table stops. - Page 22 In single mode, the device performs automatic positioning of the table to the programmed target position. The “Table Up” or “Table Down” button on the planer should be pushed and held; when the table has fully adjusted to the target position, the table will automatically stop in position.

Page 29: Set Linear Correction
NOTE: Setting Linear Correction should be done in MM (metric) mode, not inches. This will ensure accurate readings for table movement. Step 1: Press Display Step 2: Enter the value between 0.0001 and 9.9999 Step 3: Press to confirm or press 10. -
Page 30: Check Software Version
Thus, the cutterhead defines the zero point of the machine. It is, however, difficult or impossible to move the planer table to this point. Therefore, the zero point should be identified by either placing a gauge between table and cutterhead knife insert, or by planing a test board then measuring the board thickness with calipers. - Page 31 Step 1: Press Display Step 2: Press to confirm or press Example: The current value is 10.00mm but the actual thickness is 10.50mm. Step 1: Press Display Step 2: Press Step 3: Press Step 4: Press to cancel.
