Switch
- _ ...............To Power
Figure 5 - 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 rocker switch.
o Removing the rocker switch will lock the unit and
prevent unauthorized use,
The power lines are inserted directly onto 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,
If the breaker is tripped, turn the planer off and reset
the circuit by pressing the button.
CAUTION: Be sure to turn the planer off prior to reset-
ting the circuit breaker to avoid unintentional start-up of
the planer,
Refer to Figures 6, 8 and 9, pages 7, 14 and 16
DESCRIPTION
Sears 12V2" planer finishes rough-cut lumber to size
and planes soft and hardwoods up to 6" thick and 12Vz"
wide. Wood feeds into two-blade cutterhead by rubber
infeed/outfeed rollers. Sturdy cast aluminum base and
four-post design permits smooth feeding and virtually
snipeless planing (see "Avoiding Snipe;' page 8). Planer
comes with enclosed, universal ball bearing, 2HP (max.
developed) motor with overload protection Motor has
on/oft switch with removable key to prevent accidental
start-up Unit features double-edged blades for mini-
mized downtime, top mounted rollers for workpiece
return, built-in carrying handles for portability, and fold-
ing infeed/outfeed rollers for smooth operation. Planer
takes cuts up to ¾2" per pass (for boards up to 5" wide)
or up to _A,"per pass (for boards from 5" up to 12V2"
wide) at 26 feet per minute, Inch height scale has grad-
uations in ¼¢' increments, and metric height scale has
graduations in lrnm 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 Z871 (shown on
package) before commencing power tool operation,
CAUTION: Always observe the following safety pre-
cautions:
o 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
o Make sure all guards are properly attached and
securely fastened.
o Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
= Always wear eye protection or face shield,
Q Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached
to cutterhead_
o Do not plug in planer unless switch is in OFF posi-
tion, After turning switch on, allow planer to come to
full speed before operating,
o Keep hands clear of all moving parts
o Do not force cut° Slowing or stalling will overheat
motor, Allow automatic feed to function properly,
o Use quality lumber Blades last longer and cuts are
smoother with good quality wood
• Do not plane material shorter than 141/2 ", narrower
than 3A", wider than 12V2" or thinner than V2",,
- Never make planing cut deeper than ¾2"_,
o Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and out-
feed table surfaces and cutterhead blade path,,
Do not back the work toward the infeed table,
o
0
Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit any-
one to stand or cross in line of cutterhead's rotation.
Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction
Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever plan-
er is not in use,,
° Replace or sharpen knives as they become dam-
aged or dull,
° Keep planer maintained, Follow maintenance instruc-
tions (see pages 8 and 9)_
