ATTACH DUST CHUTE (FIGURE 7)
Planer is best used along with a dust collec-
tor. Dust chute is included. The dust chute is
mounted to the rollercase using two thumb
screws. The dust chute can be mounted to
direct chips to either side of planer.
After mounting, connect wet/dry vacuum
hose to dust chute. Be sure to turn the
vacuum on before operating the planer. An adapter is provided for better matching dust extraction systems.
MOUNT PLANER TO WORK SURFACE (FIGURE 8 - 9)
The planer is designed to be portable so it can be moved to a job site. However, it should always be mounted to
a stable, level bench or table in a place with ample lighting and correct power supply. Make sure there is plenty
of room for moving the workpiece through the entire cut. Neither the operators or the bystanders should have to
stand in line with the wood while using the tool.
The base of the planer has four mounting holes. Mount the planer to the workbench or to the tool stand using
bolts, flat washers and hex nuts (not supplied). Figure 8 shows the base dimensions, mounting holes and required
space to allow for table assembly. Securely mount the planer to the work table by bolting it through the holes.
Make sure the planer does not rock and that the work table is level.
