UNPACKING AND CLEANING Remove planer from the shipping cartons. Check for damage and ensure all parts are intact. Any damage should be reported immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Before assembling, read the manual thoroughly, familiarizing yourself with correct assembly and maintenance procedures and proper safety precautions.
CONTROLS IDENTIFICATION A. Feed Motor On/Off Switch: After the main motor has been turned on for at least 5 seconds, this switch turns the feed motor ON and OFF. B. Cutterhead Service Switch: Turn to lock the cutterhead for blade inspection and change.
INTERNAL COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION Fig. 3 A. Anti-Kickback Fingers: Provide additional safety for the operator. B. Serrated Infeed Roller: Pushes workpiece toward the cutterhead. C. Chipbreaker: Breaks off chips created by the cutterhead to prevent tear out and diverts the chips to the dust port. D.
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING 1756 lbs (796kg) CAUTION: Lifting carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting straps carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
INSTALLATION and ASSEMBLY WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. IMPORTANT: Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine: ...
ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have grounding type plugs and receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
TESTING MACHINE OPERATION Once assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly. If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting. Test Run the Machine: 1.
Test Headstock Cover Limit Switch: 1. Release the EMERGENCY STOP button by twisting the knurled backside of the button clockwise until the whole assembly pops out. 2. Start the planer by pushing the CUTTERHEAD MOTOR switch. 3. Slowly and with great care, lift the top cover up (Fig. 5) only about 1/2"...
POWER CONTROLS There is a LED readouts on the digital control. The LED shows the actual position of the table. Table Movement - Manual 1. Press the button on digital control. 2. Table movement will stop when the button is released. Table Movement - Programmed 1.
BASIC OPERATION CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, face shield, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from, chips, dust, burrs, and slivers. 1. Put on safety glasses and a respirator, and secure loose clothing and long hair. 2.
Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. DO NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or other synthetic products. Plane WITH the grain. Never feed end-cut or end-grained lumber into your planer. Do not plane boards with loose or large knots, splits, cross grain or other obvious blemishes or defects.
Page 25
TABLE ROLLERS 0 – 0.023” (0 – 0.6mm) Adjustment Height Range The height of the table rollers will vary, depending 0 – 0.023” Feed Direction on the condition of the wood you intend to plane. (0 – 0.6mm) When planing rough cut stock, set the rollers high to keep the lumber from dragging along the bed.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. Maintenance on your planer should be done at periodic intervals to ensure that the machine is in good working order.
V-BELT MAINTENANCE V-belt removal and replacement is simply a matter of loosening the V-belts, rolling them off the pulleys, replacing them with new belts, and then tensioning them. This planer uses three V-belts to drive the cutterhead. Always replace the three cutterhead V- belts with a matched set of three belts.
LUBRICATION This planer features factory-sealed bearings. Sealed bearing requires no lubrication during its lifetime. Should a bearing fail, your planer will probably develop a noticeable rumble/vibration which will increase when the machine is put under load. Proper lubrication of other machine components is essential for long life and trouble-free operation.

TABLE CHAIN TENSION The table chain transfers movement from the table gearbox to the table elevation screws. This chain can be adjusted to remove slack if the chain stretches over time. 5. UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER SOURCE AND LOCK OUT POWER. 6.

TABLE PARALLELISM Maximum Allowable Tolerance Cutterhead/Table Side-to-Side 0.01mm Table parallelism is critical to the operation of the planer. It is essential the table is parallel with the cutterhead within 0.01mm from side-to-side. Table Parallelism Inspection The easiest way to determine if your table has a parallelism problem is to plane a workpiece and measure the thickness in multiple locations.
Page 31
5. Determine which side of the table you will adjust to bring the table parallel with the cutterhead (within 0.01mm). 6. Use the 12mm hex wrench to loosen the table elevation housing bracket cap screws for that side of the table (Fig. 15).
ADJUST INFEED / OUTFEED ROLLERS Distances Below Cutterhead at BDC: 0.0023” (0.06mm) Infeed Roller 0.0027” (0.07mm) Outfeed Rollers Pressure Bar To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment process quicker and easier, we recommend using a Dial indicator for these adjustments. If a Dial indicator is not available, wood blocks and feeler gauges can be used.
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS CAUTION: Proper operation of the anti-kickback fingers is essential for the safe operation of this machine. Failure to ensure that they are working properly could result in serious operator injury. This planer provides an anti-kickback system as a safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod suspended across the cutterhead casting.
OUTFEED ROLLER TENSION The amount of tension or downward pressure of the outfeed roller needs to be enough to pull the workpiece along the planing path without binding, and prevent snipe to the end of the workpiece by keeping it firmly on the planing table.
ADJUST PRESSURE BAR Distances Below Cutterhead at BDC to Pressure Bar = 0mm To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment process quicker and easier, we recommend using a Dial indicator for these adjustments. Pressure Adjustment Using Dial Indicator 1. Make sure the cutterhead and table are parallel, and the cutterhead is at BDC. See “Table Parallelism”...

TABLE ELEVATION LIMIT SCREW The table movement is limited by upper and lower limit switch. When the table position reaches the limit screws on table contact with limit switch, table movement stops. Table position upper and lower height limit: Upper height limit = 6mm Lower height limit = 300mm The digital control works properly when the LED readout shows the height limit, but table can still...
INSPECTING KNIVES The height of the knives can be easily and quickly inspected with the knife setting gauge. This inspection will ensure that the knives are protruding equally and are parallel with the cutterhead body. WARNING: Knife inserts are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when working with or around the knife inserts.
SETTING/REPLACING KNIVES Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of the planer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife protrudes higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others. The included knife gauge is designed to set cutterhead.
