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 12: Unpacking & Inventory

    NOTE: Some parts pictured may already be installed on your machine at the factory. Go through the entire manual before contacting WAHUDA. Compare the items to inventory figures and verify that all items are accounted for. If any parts are missing, do not attempt to power on the machine.
  • Page 13: Assembly

    ASSEMBLY WARNING! MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. ATTACHING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT CRANK HANDLE Attach the raise/lower adjustment handle to the shaft located on top of the planer and fasten in place with 1 Hex Socket Head screw M5*25, Tighten screw using supplied hex wrench ATTACHING DUST PORT Facing the rear of the machine, place the outfeed table in the down position.
  • Page 14: Adjustments

    ASSEMBLY (cont) TABLE MAGNETS The table magnets keep the tables from falling during transport of the planer. The 2 long table magnets, item H page 12, should be screwed into the threaded holes on the front of the cutterhead assembly and tightened with a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) See picture on page 4 for reference.
  • Page 15 ADJUSTMENTS (cont) Next, using the metal straight edge in the same 2 locations as above, check to see if the table is coplanar with the wear plate. It should be one continuous flat surface from the outside edge of the table going across the wear plate.
  • Page 16 ADJUSTMENTS (cont) LEVELING INFEED AND OUTFEED PULLOUT EXTENSIONS The table pullout extensions offer the user additional support for longer stock. They must be parallel to, and at the same height as, the table they are attached to. 1. With the infeed table in the down position, loosen the 2 silver knurled extension lock knobs on both sides of the table and pull the extensions to their outward position.
  • Page 17: Cleaning Cutterhead & Inserts

    NOTE: Do not get solvent on any painted portion of the machine. WAHUDA spiral cutterheads are machined with a film of oil that may be left over from the process. Removal of this oil residue, if apparent, should be done before you use your new machine.
  • Page 18 CLEANING SPIRAL CUTTERHEAD & TIPS (cont.) 7) Separate the tips from the screws and place in separate containers with a bit of mineral spirits or non-chlorinated brake cleaner. 8) Once all are removed, wipe down the bare cutterhead using rags with whichever solvent you chose mentioned above.
  • Page 19: Operations

    OPERATIONS NOTE: This operations section was designed to give instructions on the basic 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.
  • Page 20 OPERATIONS (cont) 2 - SPEED SELECTOR SWITCH The 26 FPM speed of the 50250PL-WHD planer allows normal speed for production type feed rates. The slower 18 FPM speed allows for a very smooth finish even on figured stock. IMPORTANT NOTE: THE SPEED SELECTOR SWITCH SHOULD ONLY BE SHIFTED FROM ONE SPEED TO ANOTHER WHILE THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED ON (RUNNING) AND NOT PLANING ANY STOCK (NO LOAD) DOING OTHERWISE WILL DAMAGE THE SPEED MECHANISM!
  • Page 21 OPERATIONS (cont) POWER SWITCH The planer is turned ON by flipping the switch into the left position and it is turned OFF by flipping the switch to the right. This planer is also equipped with a special lockout toggle switch that prevents unauthorized use.
  • Page 22 OPERATIONS (cont) REPEAT CUT PRESET The Repeat Cut turret style dial indicator, located on the bottom right hand side of the planer, provides a simple way to preset the finished thickness of a workpiece. With the machine powered off, turn the dial indicator to the desired finished thickness. Use this feature when thickness planing multiple workpieces to ensure a uniform thickness of all workpieces.
  • Page 23 OPERATIONS (cont.) 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 24 OPERATIONS (cont.) GENERAL TIPS AND GUIDELINES Thickness planing always works best when at least one side of the workpiece has a flat surface. If both sides of the workpiece are rough, feed one face of the board through the planer until the entire surface is flat. ALWAYS plane both sides of the workpiece to reach the desired thickness.
  • Page 25: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE WARNING! MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Your planer should provide you with a long time of service provided you take the time to perform the following maintenance operations. CLEANING Sawdust buildup and other debris can cause the tool to plane incorrectly.
  • Page 26 Remove the 7 screws holding the top cover on the machine. 3 screws are located on top and 4 on the upper sides. Remove the top cover. On the left side panel, remove the 4 socket head screws located around the bottom edge and remove the side panel to expose the gearbox.
  • Page 27 MAINTENANCE (cont.) 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 or replace: Remove the brush holders (A). The other is located in the same position on the rear of the motor assembly.
