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 19 OPERATIONS DEPTH-OF-CUT INDICATOR The Depth-Of-Cut Indicator, located on the front of the machine, is a convenient way to quickly determine how much material is being planed off in one pass. With the machine OFF, insert your workpiece just under the cut scale (A). SEE FIG 11 Crank the raising / lowering handle until the button (B) comes in contact with the workpiece.
- Page 20 OPERATIONS THICKNESS PLANING Thickness planing sizes the workpiece to a desired thickness, while at the same time creating a smooth and level surface. The thickness of each cut will depend on the type of wood, width of the workpiece, and condition of the lumber (i.e. dryness, grain composition, straightness, etc). Always make thin test cuts on a scrap piece of wood prior to performing final cuts.
- Page 21 MAINTENANCE CAUTION! With the machine unplugged, blow off motor with low pressure air to remove dust or dirt. Air pressure above 50 P.S.I. should not be used as high-pressured air may damage insulation. The operator should always wear a respirator and eye protection when using compressed air.
