Model W1862/W1863 (For Machines Mfd. Since 02/19)
Operation.Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice
machine operator with a basic understanding of how
the machine is used during operation, so the machine
controls/components discussed later in this manual are
easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not
intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more
about specific operations, read this entire manual and
seek additional training from experienced machine
operators, and do additional research outside of this
manual by reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or
websites.
To.complete.a.typical.operation,.the.operator.does.the.
following:
1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suitable for
planing.
2. Puts on safety glasses or face shield, a respirator,
and hearing protection.
3. Places workpiece on table with flat side down
and correctly adjusts table height for workpiece
thickness and depth of cut.
— If workpiece is bowed, operator surface planes
workpiece on a jointer until one side is flat. Doing
so ensures that it sits solidly on planer table
during operation.
4. When all safety precautions have been taken, turns
planer ON.
5. Stands to one side of planer path to reduce risk of
kickback injuries, then feeds workpiece into planer
until infeed roller grabs it.
Note:.Infeed and outfeed rollers control feed rate
of workpiece as it passes through planer. Operator
should not push or pull on workpiece.
— If cut is too deep and bogs down planer, operator
immediately reduces depth of cut.

If you are an inexperienced operator,
we strongly recommend that you read
books or trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced operator of this
type of machinery before performing
unfamiliar operations. Above.all,.safety.

6. Once workpiece is clear of outfeed
roller and stops moving, operator
removes workpiece from outfeed
table and measures thickness. If
further planing is required, operator
raises table slightly (
table height handwheel), then feeds
workpiece into front of planer again.
7. Operator continues process until
desired thickness is achieved, then
turns machine OFF.
