Switch Lock; Raising And Lowering Rollercase; Feed Rate Adjustment; Depth-Of-Cut Gauge And Scale - Craftsman 351.217450 Operator's Manual

SWITCH LOCK
Refer to Figure 13.
The planer/molder can be locked from unauthorized
use by lockingthe switch.To lock the switch:
• Turn the switch to OFF positionand disconnect plan-
er/molder from power source.
• Pull the key out. The switch cannot be turned on with
the key removed.
NOTE: Should the key be removed from the switch at
the ON position,the switch can be turned off but cannot
be turned on.
• To replace key, slide key into the slot on switch until
it snaps.
For precise movement, rotate handle with knob. One
complete rotationof handle will raise or lower renercase
by 1/16" ( see Figure 15).
A rotational direction label with depth indicator is locat-
ed under the handle.

RAISING AND LOWERING ROLLERCASE
Refer to Figures 14 end 15.
The rollercase contains the motor, cutterhead and dust
collector.The depth-of-cut is controlled by raisingor
lowering the rollercase. For rapid movement of the
rollercase, push up or down on power elevation lever
while motor is running (see Figure 14).
WARNING: Do not attempt to engage power elevation
while planing. Keep hands clear of knob on top of
planer/molder.

FEED RATE ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 14.
• The planer/molder has a 2-speed gearbox that feeds
the workpiece at 22 feet per minute (standard plan-
ing) and at 11 feet per minute (for molding or finish
planing).
Finish planing a workpiece results in a better surface
finish than that obtained by planing at the higher
speed.
• The knob for adjusting the feed rate is located on the
left side of the top of the mllercese.
NOTE: Only change feed rate while the machine is
running.
DEPTH-OF-CUT GAUGE AND SCALE
Refer to Figure 16, page 9.
A depth-of-cutgauge is attached to the front of the
rellercase.The pointeron the depth-of-cut gauge accu-
rately displays the depth-of-cut per pass when work-
piece is positioned below the gauge. Cranking the han-
dle moves the mllercase down and the pointer shows
depth-of-cut up to 3h=".
Recommended Maximum Depth-Of-Cut:
Hard/Softwood up to 8" wide: .................. 3/_,,
Hard/Softwood 8" to 15" wide: ................... 1/_,,,
The English/Metricscale with pointer allows easy
adjustment of roller case height.This scale indicates
the finished size of the workpiece.
