Page 12: Grounding Instructions
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUNDING provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. - Page 13 USE ONLY a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the machine’s plug. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use. Make certain the extension cord is properly sized, and in good electrical condition.

Page 15: Assembly
ASSEMBLY MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. ATTACHING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT HANDLE 1. Attach the depth adjustment handle (A) to the shaft (B) and fasten in place with 1 Hex Soc Head screw. Tighten screw using supplied hex wrench. SEE FIG 1. FIG 1 ATTACHING DUST PORT The Dust Port is to be used when the planer to be connected to a dust collector. - Page 16 SECURING PLANER TO A TABLE OR WORKBENCH During operation, if there is any tendency for the planer to tip over, slide or walk, the planer MUST be secured to a supporting surface such as a workbench or table. Four holes are provided (2 are shown at (A)) to securely mount the planer. The surface you are mounting the planer to should be perfectly flat.

Page 17: Adjustment
ADJUSTMENTS MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. LEVELING EXTENSION TABLES The extension tables must be level with the planer table. To check the extension tables and adjust if necessary: Lay a straight edge (A) on the planer table (C) with one end of the straight edge over the infeed table (B). - Page 18 FIG 5 NOTE: when lowering the head assembly, ensure the quick set thickness indicator is in the lowest position. Failure to do so may result in excess downward pressure and cause damage to the adjustment rod and upper frame. Refer to FIG 5 crank handle, FIG 11 indicator.
- Page 19 Clean all dust and dirt off the cutter insert and the cutterhead pocket from which the cutter insert was removed, and replace the cutter insert so a fresh, sharp edge is facing outward. If available, try using pitch and gum remover to be sure all of the wood residue is off the cutterhead and cutter insert before attempting to rotate them.

Page 20: Operations
operations of this planer. However, it is in no way comprehensive of every planer operation. 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. NOTICE: This planer is designed to process wood ONLY. - Page 21 FIG 10 QUICK SET THICKNESS INDICATOR The Quick Set Thickness Indicator (A) provide a simple way to set the finished thickness of a workpiece. The scale come in settings of 1/8”, 1/4”, 1/2”, 3/4”. Rotate the wheel of the indicator to the desired finished thickness. Use this feature when thickness planning multiple workpieces to ensure a uniform thickness of all workpieces.
- Page 22 GETTING PREPARED It is always a good idea to use a piece of scrap wood for your first planing attempt. Also, before each use of the planer, make it a habit of checking for loose fasteners, fittings or hardware. Turn the planer ON and allow it to reach full speed. Pay close attention to any excessively loud noises that may be coming from the planer or any excessive vibration.
- Page 23 If a smooth cut is not obtained, try reversing the board for proper grain orientation. AVOIDING SNIPE Snipe, gouging or depression of the board at the ends, can occur when the board is not properly supported. For workpieces longer than 4 ft, greater care must be taken to reduce the problem because the additional length of the workpiece translates into more unsup- ported weight pulling down on the end of the board.

Page 24: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Your planer should provide you with a long time of service provided you take the time to perform the following maintenance operations. Clean Sawdust buildup and other debris can cause the tool to place inaccurately. Periodic cleaning and waxing is needed for accurate, precision planning. - Page 25 FIG 12 Remove the side panel to expose the gear box cover (B). SEE FIG 13. FIG 13 Remove the two screws order remove the gear box cover and access the gear box Place a light coat of multi purpose grease on the teeth of the gears (D) and a light coat of spray lubricant on the chain (E).
- Page 26 FIG 14 Replace all covers and guards that you removed once lubrication is complete. BRUSH REPLACEMENT Brush life will vary depending on the load placed on the motor. The brushes should be inspected every 10-15 hours of use. To inspect Remove the Brush Holders, one of which is shown at (A).
- Page 27 Once the brush has been removed, inspect the carbon (B), the spring (C), and the wire (D). SEE FIG 16. FIG 16 If the carbon of either brush is worn down to 3/16” or less, both brushes should be replaced. Also if the spring or wire are burned or damaged in any way, both brushes should be replaced.
