MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM-
ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
SURGE PROTECTION/CIRCUIT BREAKER
TO AVOID UNINTENTIONAL START-UP BE CERTAIN
THAT THE POWER SWITCH HAS BEEN SET TO THE OFF
POSITION BEFORE RE-SETTING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
The unit is equipped with a circuit breaker located to
the left of the power switch, A , to protect the motor from
power surges or spikes in line voltage. In the event of a
power surge, the circuit breaker will be automatically
tripped thereby cutting off the power to the motor.
To reset the circuit breaker after it has been tripped;
set the power switch to the "off" position and depress
the reset button on the circuit breaker, then restart the
machine.
RAISING / LOWERING THE CUTTER HEAD
To adjust the depth of cut, the cutter head assembly
can be raised or lowered as needed by rotating the
depth of cut adjustment handle B located on the right
side of the machine.
Before to adjust the depth of cut, make sure the cutter
head is unlocked by pushing the lever C to the left. In
order to minimize workpiece snipe, lock the cutter head
by pushing the lever C all the way to the right before to
operate the machine.
Note: Each full rotation of the handle will raise or lower the
cutter head by 1/16".
USING AND ADJUSTING THE PRE-SET DEPTH STOP
The adjustable pre-set depth gauge located on the right
side of the planer, D, allows the user to select one of
eight commonly used workpiece final thickness settings.
With the cutter head set slightly above the height of the
workpiece press down and rotate the spring loaded
adjustment knob to select the desired final thickness
setting from either 1 3/4", 1 1/2", 1 1/4", 1", 3/4", 1/2",
1/4", 1/8". This will set the stop to prevent the cutter head
from going any lower than the selected thickness, E.
Note: Once you have planed the workpiece down to the
selected thickness, do not attempt to lower the cutter head
further. Forcing the depth of cut handle when the cutter
head has bottomed out on the pre-set stop pin will damage
the raising mechanism.
