holes. If mounting the planer with nails or screws, use the
smaller holes. It is not necessary to use both sets of holes.
Fig. E
Always mount your planer firmly to a secure surface to
prevent movement. To enhance the tool's portability, it can
be mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7 mm) or thicker plywood
which can then be clamped to your work support or moved
to other work areas and reclamped.
nOTE: If you elect to mount your planer to a piece of
plywood, make sure that the mounting screws don't
protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must
sit flush on the work support.

CAUTION: The mounting surface should not be
warped or otherwise uneven.
ASSEMBLY

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Table Extensions (Fig. F)
Before using your planer, fold down the table extensions
in the front and back of the tool. After extended use, the
table extensions may be slightly out of level. See Leveling
the Table Extensions in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
Fig. F
nOTE: The outside edges of the extension tables are
level with the base while the inside edges (closest to the
cutterhead) are below the edge of the base. This is set at the
factory to reduce unnecessary friction between the material
and the table while providing adequate support at the two
points (those farthest from the cutterhead) on the tables
that are integral to snipe prevention.

3. Align holes in dust hood with holes in tool tray and
motor housing, secure with screws removed earlier.
nOTE: Tighten the bottom screw first and then the two
side screws.
4. Attach dust hood to a dust collector. Refer to dust
collector owner's manual for correct procedure and
safety information.
nOTE: The dust hood is to be attached only when
connecting the planer to a dust collection system.
Remove the dust hood if the planer is to be used
alone to allow for the chips to fall freely out of the
planer exhaust.
nOTE: Do not connect a vacuum cleaner or shop vac to the
dust hood. The capacity of most vacs does not support the
over the shaft.
