WARNING: For yourown safety, read all of the rules

and precautions before operating tool.

CAUTION: Always follow properoperating procedures

as defined in this manual even ifyou are familiar with

use of this or similar tools. Remember that being care-

less for even a fraction of a second can result in severe

personal injury.

BE PREPARED FOR JOB

• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,

gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or otherjewelry

which may get caught in moving parts of machine.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.

• Wear safety glasses complying with United States

ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact

resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.

• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.

• Be alert and think clearly Never operate power tools

when tired, intoxicatedor when taking medications

that cause drowsiness.

PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB

• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite

accidents.

• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments.

• Do not use power toots in damp or wet locations.Do

not expose power tools to rain.

• Work area should be properly lighted.

• Proper electrical receptacle shouldbe available for

tool. Three prong plug should be plugged directly

into properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.

• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and

the three wires of the extension cord shouldbe of

the correct gauge.

• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.

• Keep childrenout of workplace. Make workshop child-

proof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch

keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.

TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED

• Always unplugtool priorto inspection.

• Consult manual for specificmaintainingand adjust-

ing procedures.

• Keep toollubricatedand clean for safest operation.

• Remove adjustingtools. Form habitof checkingto

see that adjustingtools are removedbefore switch-

ingmachine on.

• Keep all parts in workingorder.Check to determine

that the guard or other parts will operate properly

and perform their intended function.

• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignmentof

moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any

other condition that may affect a tool's operetlon.

• A guard or other part that is damaged should be

properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform

makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order

replacement parts.)

KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL

• Use right toolfor job. Do not force tool or attachment

to do a job for which it was not designed.

• Disconnect tool when changing blades.

• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch

is in the OFF position before plugging in.

• Do not forcetool. It willwork most efficientlyat the

rate for which it was designed.

• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting

surfaces.

• Never leave tool runningunattended. Turn the power

offand do not leave tool untilit comes toa complete

stop.

• Do notoverreach. Keep proper footingand balance.

• Never standon tool.Seriousinjurycould occurif toolis

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 15).

Use of improper accessories may cause risk of

injuryto persons.

• Handle workpiece correctly.Protect handsfrom

possible 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.

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 15", narrower

than 3A",wider than 13" or thinner than '/8".

• Never make planing cut deeper than 3/,,.

• Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and out-

feed table surfaces and cutterhead blade path.

• Do not back the work toward the infeed table.

• Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit any-

one 1ostand 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 knives as they become damaged or dull.

DEPTH OF CUT

Refer to Figure 14.

Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a

desired thicknesswhile creating a level surface parallel

to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness

whichthe planer will produce is indicated by the scale

(D), and depth-of-cut-gauge (El. Preset the planer to

the desired thickness of finished workpiece using knob

(F). See "Workpiece Thickness Pre-set Gauge", page 7.

Figure 14 - Depth-Of-Cut

Depth-of-cutis adjusted by raisingor lowering the

rollercase (A) using handle (C).

• Quality ofthicknessplaning depends on the opera-

tor's judgement about the depth of cut.

• Depth of cut depends on the width, hardness, damp-

ness, grain direction and grain structure of the wood.

• Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed

in one pass is 3/=,,for planing operations on work-

piece up to 6"wide. Workpiece must be positioned

away from the center line of the table to cut _/=".

• Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed

in one pass is _," for planingoperations on work-

piece from 6" up to 13" wide.

• For optimum planing performance, the depth of cut

should be less than '/1,".

• Board should be planed with shallow cuts until the

work has a level side. Once a level surface has been

created, flip the lumber and create parallel sides.

• Plane alternatesides until the desired thickness is

obtained.When halfof totaldepthofcut istakenfrom

each side,the boardwillhavea uniformmoisturecon-

tentand additionaldryingwillnotcause ittowarp.

• Depthof cut shouldbeshallowerwhen work iswider.

• When planing hardwood,take lightcuts or plane the

wood in thin widths.

• Make a test cut with a test piece and verifythe thick-

ness produced.

• Check accuracy of test cutpriorto workingon fin-

ished product.

AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES

• Thickness planer is a precisionwoodworking

machine and shouldbe used on quality lumber only,

• Do not plane dirtyboards;dirt and small stones are

abrasive and willwear out blade,

• Removenailsand staples.Useplanerto cutwoodonly.

• Avoid knots.Heavilycress-grethedwood makes

knots hard. Knotscan come loose and jam blade.

CAUTION: Anyarticlethatencountersplaner blades

may be forciblyejected from planercreating riskofinjury,

PREPARE WORK

• Thickness planer works best when lumber has at

least one flat surface.

• Use surface planer or jointerto create a flat surface.

• Twistedor severely warped boards can jam planer.

Rip lumber in half to reduce magnitudeof warp.

• Work shouldbe fed intoplaner in same directionas

the grain of the wood. Sometimes grain will change

directions in middle of board. In such cases, if possi-

ble, cut board in middle before planing so grain

direction is correct.

CAUTION: Do not plane board which is less than 15"

long;force of cut couldsplitboard and cause kickback.

FEEDINGWORK

The planerissuppliedwithplaningbladesmountedinthe

cutterheadand infeedandoutfeedrollersadjustedtothe

correctheight.Planerfeed isautomatic;itwillvary slightly

depending on typeofwood.

• Feed rate refers to rate at which lumber travels

through planer.

• Operator is responsiblefor aligningwork so itwill

feed properly.

• Raise/lower rottercaseto produce the depth ol cut

desired.

• Stand on side towhich the handle is attached.

Figure15 - FeedingWork

• Boards longerthan 24" shouldhave additionalsup-

port from free standing materiat stands.

• Positionthe workpiece with the face to be planed on

top,

• Turnthe planer on.

• Rest board end on in-feed roller plate and direct

board into planer.

• Gently slideworkpiece intothe infeed side of the

planer until the infeed roller begins to advance the

workpiece.

• Let go of the workpieca and allow automatic feed to

advance the workpieca.

• Do not push/pull on workpiece. Move to the rear and

receive planed lumber by grasping itin same man-

ner as it was fed.

CAUTION: To avoid risk of injury due to kickbacks, do

not stand directly in line with front or rear of planer,

• Do not grasp any portion of board which has not

gone past out-feed roller.

• Repeat this operation on all boards which need to be

same thickness.

• Planer has return rollers (A) on top so assistant can

pass work back to operator.

Figure 16 - Return Rollers

NOTE: Assistantmustfollow same precautions as

operator.

• Surface thatthe planer willproducewill be smoother

ifshallowerdepth of cut isused.

Avoiding Snipe

• Snipe refers to a depression at either end of board

caused by an uneven force on cutterhead when work

is entering or leaving planer.

• Snipe will occur when boards are not supported

properly or when only one feed roller is in contact

with work at beginning or end of cut.

• To avoid snipe, gently push the board up while feed-

ing the work until the outfeed rotterstarts advancing

it.

Move to the rear and receive planed board by gently

pushing it up when the infeed roller looses contact

with the board.

• When planing more than one board of the same

thickness, butt boards together to avoid snipe.

• Snipe is more apparent when deeper cuts are taken.

• Feed work in direction of grain. Work fed against

grain will have chipped, splintered edges.

Planer willoperate best ifkept in good conditionand

properly adjusted.

CHECK FOR WORN BLADES

• Conditionof blades willaffect precisionof cut.

Observe quality of cutwhich planer producesto

check conditionof blades.

• Dull bladeswilltear, rather than sever woodfibers

and producefuzzy appearance.

• Raised grain willoccurwhen dull blades poundon

wood that has varying density.Raised edge willalso

be prm:luced where blades have been nicked.

REPLACE BLADES

Refer to Figures 17, 18 and 19.

WARNING: Always turn planer OFF and disconnect

from power source beforestarting any maintenance

work.

• Loosen and remove socket head bolts (A) from

blade cover (B) on the rear side of planer.Remove

blade cover.

Figure17 - RemoveBladeCover

• Carefully turn cutterhead by hand towards you until it

is stopped by the self-engaging latch.

• Loosen and remove six bolts from gib (C).

Figure 18 - Remove Gib Bolts

• Remove gib using two magnets (Figure 19)

provided.

NOTE: Magnets can be easily disengaged from gib by

tiltingthem to leftor right.

CAUTION: Blade edges are extremely sharp. Keep

fingers away from blades at all times.

• Blade is held on position by two pins. Gently lift old

blades from the pins using the two magnets. Do not

make contact with the blade using fingers. Use

magnets only.

BRUSHINSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

WARNING: Turn planer offand disconnect from power

source. Brushlife depends on amount of load on motor,

Regularly inspectbrushes after 100 hours of use.

Brushes are locatedon either side of planer motor.

Figure 20 - Replace Brushes

• Loosen brush cap (not shown) and gently remove

brush from motor.

NOTE: Brushes are located on both front and rear

sides of planer.

• Replace brushes if spring (A) is damaged.

• Replace brushes if carbon (B) is worn.

• Replace brushes and tighten brush cap.

ADJUSTING ROLLERCASE LEVEL

Refer to Figures 21 and 22, pages 14 and 16.

The planer will produceuneven depthof cut (tapered

cut) if rollemase (Fig. 22, Key No. 59) is not parallel

with base (Fig. 21, Key No.48). To restoreparallelism of

rollercasewith base:

• Using a test piece, measure height of the taper.

• Turn planer offand disconnectfrom power source.

• Fold front and rear extensiontables.

• Lay planer carefully on itsback so that bottomside

of base is facing you.

• Loosentwo socket head bolts (Fig.21, Key No.62).

Loosen chain (Fig. 21, Key No.67) bysliding idler

bracket (Fig. 21, KeyNo. 60).

• Rotate elevationscrews as needed. Each turn of

screw will movethat side of rollercaseby _Aa".

• Retightenchain using idler bracket.Tighten socket

head boltssecurely.

• Set planer back on itsbase.

• Make a test cut toverify adjustment.

REPLACING V-BELT

Refer to Figures 21, 22 and 23, pages 14, 16 and 18.

Inadequate tension in V-belts (Fig 22, Key No. 28 and

Fig. 23, Key No. 78) will cause belts to slip from the pul-

leys. Loose belts must be replaced. To replace V-belts:

• Remove socket pan head screw and flat washer

(Fig. 21, Key Nos. 1 and 2). Pull handle off. Pull knob

(Fig. 21, Key No. 40) off.

• Remove four pan head screws (Fig. 21, Key No. 15)

from cover (Fig. 21, Key No. 10). Remove cover.

Remove right side cover (Fig. 21, Key No. 39).

• Remove V-belt (Fig. 22, Key No.28) by walkingthe

belt from both pulleys alternately. Gently pull the belt

while turning the pulleys at the same time. Repeat

with V-belt (Fig. 23, Key No. 78).

• Replace with new belts. Walk each belt onto the pul-

leys in the reverse manner as when removingthe

belts.

Make sure each of the belts are evenly seated all

the way on both pulleys.

Replace right side panel and knob. Replace cover

and secure with pan head screws. Replace handle

and secure with flat washer and pan head screw.

LUBRICATION

• Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need

no lubrication.

Gears and elevation screws shouldbe cleaned of

debris and greased.

The table and extension tables can be coated with a

lubricant such as paste wax, to make the workpiece

feed smoother. Be sure the lubricant used does not

affect the ability to finish the workpiece with varnish,

sealer, etc. Do not use any siliconebase lubricants.

CLEAN PLANER

• Keepplaner cleanof anywood chips,dust,dirt ordebris.

• After 10 hours of operation, the chains and gears

should have wood chips, dust and old grease

removed.

• Use common automotive bearing grease to lubricate

all chains and gears. Be sure all chains and gears

have plenty of grease.
