•
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is
tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
•
Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, applica-
tion and specific limitations.
•
Use recommended accessories
(refer to page 19).
Use of improper accessories
may cause risk of
injury to persons.
•
Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from pos-
sible injury.
•
Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs
too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it
stuck in the work.)
•
Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in
place and in proper operating condition.
•
Feed work into blade or cutter against direction of
rotation.
CAUTION:
Think safety! Safety is a combination of
operator common sense and alertness at all times
when tool is being used.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is
completely assembled according to the instructions.
Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, a
claim must be filed with carrier. Check for complete-
ness. Immediately report missing parts to dealer.
Additional parts which need to be fastened to the planer
should be located and accounted for before assembling.
Planer is shipped assembled except for the following:
two table extensions, handwheel handle, chip chute, two
roller gauge blocks, blade height gauge and hardware
bag.
Hardware bag (Part No. 23402.00) includes:
•
10-1.5 x 25mm Socket Head Bolt (8)
•
6-1.0 x 12mm Socket Head Bolt (8)
•
6mm Flat Washer (8)
•
10mm Flat Washer (8)
•
10mm Lock Washer (8)
IMPORTANT: Table, table rollers and cutterhead are
coated with a protectant. To ensure proper fit and oper-
ation, remove coating. Coating is easily removed with
mild solvents, such as mineral spirits, and a soft cloth.
Use caution when cleaning the cutterhead, as the
blades are very sharp. Avoid getting solution on paint or
any of the rubber or plastic parts. Solvents may deterio-
rate these finishes. Use soap and water on paint, plas-
tic or rubber components. After cleaning, cover all
exposed surfaces with a light coating of oil. Paste wax
is recommended for table top.
WARNING:
Never use highly volatile solvents. Non-
flammable solvents are recommended
to avoid possible
fire hazard.
WARNING:
Do not attempt assembly if parts are
missing. Use this manual to order replacement parts.
PLANER
INSTALLATION
Before planer is assembled, a suitable location should
be chosen. The planer weighs approximately 800 Ibs
when completely assembled. Planer should be assem-
bled on location.
•
Planer needs to be set on a flat, level surface. This
improves stability, accuracy and prevents warpage
and failure of cast components and welds.
•
Make sure there is ample room on both infeed and
outfeed sides of planer 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.
•
Good lighting and correct power supply (230 volts)
are also required for a proper work area.
•
Place planer in its designated spot. Covers for
access to motor are on both front and rear sides of
stand. The planer is supplied with four lifting handles
that slide into the base on the infeed and outfeed
sides. The planer must be lifted by these handles
only and moved to the required location.
•
With planer in position, check table surface length-
wise and crosswise with machinist level. Place metal
shims under low corners. Check that all four corners
are supported. Check table level in both directions
and secure machine to floor with lag bolts (not sup-
plied) through plates at front and rear of stand.
