ASSEMBLY FASTENING THE PLANER TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE Before operation, secure the planer to the supporting surface. Operate the planer on a flat, level surface. Four mounting holes are provided for mounting the planer to a stand or work surface. These holes are located under the in-feed and out-feed tables (two of which are shown in Figure 9).
