Operation; Extension Cords; Motor; Electrical Connections - Craftsman 351.217220 Operator's Manual

EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• The minimum extension cord wire size is A.W.G. 14.
Do not use extension cords over 25 feet long.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Make sure unit is turned off and discon-
nected from power source before inspecting any wiring.
The motor is installed and wiring connected as illustrat-
ed in the wiring schematic (see Figure 7).

Figure 7 - Wiring Schematic
The motor is assembled with an approved three con-
ductor cord to be used on 120 volts as indicated. The
power supply to the motor is controlled by a double
pole locking switch.
The power lines are connected directly to the switch.
The green ground line must remain securely fastened
to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
A manual reset overload protector is installed in line
with the power supply to the motor. If the planer is over-
loaded, the protector will break the circuit.
DESCRIPTION
Craftsman 12" planer finishes rough-cut lumber to size
and planes soft and hardwoods up to 41/2 ' ' thick and 12"
wide. Wood feeds into two-blade cutterhead by rubber
infeed/outfeed rollers. Sturdy base construction and
four-post design permits smooth feeding and virtually
snipeless planing. Planer comes with enclosed, univer-
sal ball bearing, 21/2HP (max. developed) motor with
overload protection. Motor has ON/OFF switch with
removable key to prevent accidental start-up. Unit fea-
tures built-in dust collection, easy hands-free replace-
ment of blades for safety and minimized downtime, top
mounted rollers for workpiece return, built-in carrying
handles and cord wraps for portability. Planer takes cuts
up to %2" per pass at 20 feet per minute. Inch height
scale has graduations in 1_6"increments, and metric
height scale has graduations in 1mm increments.

OPERATION SAFETY RULES
WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the
instructions and precautions before operating tool.
WARNING: Operation of any power tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
package) before commencing power tool operation.
CAUTION: Always observe the following safety pre-
cautions:
• Know general power tool safety. Make sure all pre-
cautions are understood (see pages 2, 3, 5 and 6).
• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on planer,
turn switch OFF and remove plug from power source.
• Make sure all guards are properly attached and
securely fastened.
• Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
• Always wear eye protection or face shield.
• Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached
to cutterhead.
• Do not plug in planer unless switch is in off position.
After turning switch on, allow planer to come to full
speed before operating.
• Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
• Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat
motor. Allow automatic feed to function properly.
• Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are
smoother with good quality wood.
• Do not plane material shorter than 14", narrower
than 3A", wider than 12" or thinner than 1/2".
• Never make planing cut deeper than %2".
