OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
HOW TO START AND STOP THE MACHINE
1. The on/off switch is located on the front of the planer. To turn the machine "ON", push the START button (A) Fig. 30.
2. To turn the machine "OFF", push the STOP button (B) Fig. 30.
Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging cord into outlet. Do not touch
the plug's metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord.
HOW TO LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent unauthorized
use, using a padlock (B) Fig. 31 with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) diameter shackle.

A dust chute (N) Fig. 32 is attached to the
machine. Never use this machine without the dust chute
attached. You can install a standard 5" (127 mm) diameter
flexible dust collection hose directly to the dust chute for
optimal chip and dust collection. Or, you can attach the
5" (127 mm) to 4" (101 mm) adaptor (shown in the inset of
Fig. 32) to the dust chute and attach a 4" (101 mm) dust
collection hose.
HOW TO ADJUST FOR DEPTH OF CUT
The depth of cut on your planer is controlled by raising or lowering the head assembly (A) Fig. 33 that contains the cutterhead
and feed rollers. The head assembly (A) moves on four steel columns, three of which are shown at (B). To adjust, loosen
the two head assembly lock-knobs, one of which is shown at (C), and turn the head elevating handwheel (D). (Turning the
handwheel (D) clockwise raises the head assembly. Counterclockwise lowers it). Tighten the two head assembly lock knobs (C).
The maximum depth of cut when planing stock narrower than 6" (152 mm) wide is 3/16" (4.76 mm). A limiter (E) Fig. 34 limits
the depth of cut to 1/8" (3.18 mm) on stock wider than 6" (152 mm).
