Craftsman 351.217680 Operator's Manual page 4

The jointer/planer weighs approximately 30 Ibs. when
completely assembled. The jointer/planer must be
installed in a place with ample lighting and correct
power supply. To install jointer/planter:
• Make sure there is plenty of room for moving the
workpiece through the entire cut. There must be
enough room that neither the operators nor the
bystanders will have to stand in line with the wood
while using the tool.
• Jointer/planer can be installed on work using bolts,
lock washers and hex nuts (not supplied) or using
wood screws (not supplied).
• The '/," holes {see Figure 3) are intended for installing
jointer/planer using bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.
• The %2"holes (see Figure 3) are intended for
installing jointer/planer using wood screws.
• Bolt or clamp the jointer/planer to a firm, level surface.
• Make sure the jointedplaner does not rock and the
tables are level.

POWER SOURCE
WARNING: Do not connect jointedplaner to the power
source until all assembly steps have been completed.
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified. Normal loads will be handled safe-
ly on voltages not more than 10% above or below spec-
ified voltage. Running the unit on voltages which are not
within range may cause overheating and motor burn-
out. Heavy loads require that voltage at motor terminals
be no less than the voltag e specified on nameplate.
• Power supply to the motor is controlled by a rocker
switch. Removing the key from rocker switch will lock
the unit and prevent unauthorized use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to
protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you do not
understand grounding instructions or if you are in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved cord rated at
150V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure
4) for your protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a
properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-
type receptacle, as shov,'q (see Figure 4).

• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the termi-
nals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug
provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and it damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the elec-
tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
• A 2-prong wall receptacle must be replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Any receptacle replacement should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 5) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and
ordinances. (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
is not permitted in Canada.)
Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is
permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side
of the adapter must be securely connected to a
permanent electrical ground such as a properly
grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box
or a properly grounded wire system.
