OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This planer is a very powerful
woodworking machine designed and built for
professional use.
Because of this, the machine should be oper-
ated with significant care and caution. Failure
to do so could result in severe injury to the op-
erator or others in the work area. Be sure to
read this entire manual for all safety precau-
tions before operating this machine.
PLANER SUMMARY
1. Examine all lumber carefully for defects such
as twisting, warping, knots, splits, crossgrain,
and foreign objects such as nails, staples, etc
before running it through the planer. If you
are unsure about the quality of the wood, DO
NOT USE IT!
2. Use the full width of the planer. Alternate
between the left, right, and center when feed-
ing lumber through the planer. Doing so will
help extend the life of your blades.
3. Be sure to clean off all glue of joined boards
before planning.
4. This planer is designed for natural wood
only. DO NOT use any composites, laminates,
particle board, plywood, or plastics in the
planer.
5. ALWAYS plane with the grain of the wood.
NEVER feed end cut or end grained lumber
through the planer.
6. When making multiple passes through the
planer on long stock, use the stock return roll-
ers located on top of the machine to move the
workpiece over to the infeed side of the table.
7. Wood that has a high moisture content
(greater than 20%) or wood exposed to rain
or snow will plane poorly and cause excessive
wear to the knives, and accelerate rust and cor-
rosion.
8. This manual does not cover every aspect of
planning wood. You should research alterna-
tive publications for more specific require-
ments. This type of follow up will help provide
with a better understanding of the planning
process as well as alert you to several precau-
tions to take that may or may not be listed in
this manual.
POWER FEED
The power feed features two different feed
rates, 16FPM (feet per minute) and 30FPM.
E N G L I S H •
WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING, moving
the knob one direction produces the 16 FPM
setting while moving the other direction pro-
duces the 30FPM setting. There is also a central
position for the knob, which is neutral (Fig.28).
CAUTION: The feed rate should be set
ONLY while planer is running, and BEFORE the
workpiece is inserted into the planer.
DO NOT attempt to change speeds after the
cutting operation has started.

DEPTH LIMITER
This planer is equipped with a depth limiter
(Fig.29a), located at the bottom of the cut-
terhead casting, which controls the maximum
depth of cut to 1/8".
With the limiter installed, you will not be able
to cut more than 1/8" in a single pass. While it
is possible to plane as much as 1/8" at a time,
it is not recommended. Taking more shallow
passes will improve the quality of your work as
well as extend the life of your planer.
NOTICE: To avoid mechanical damage to the
planer, do not remove the depth limiter.
HANDLE WHEEL
Turning the handwheel clockwise will raise the
main table while turning it counterclockwise
will lower the table. Crank the handwheel to
raise or lower the table according to the de-
sired workpiece thickness.
TRIAL RUN
Once all the assembly is complete and the ad-
justments are complete, it's time for a test run.
1. Turn on the power supply.
2. Press the start button. Keep your hand near
the switch, ready to shut the machine down
quickly in case anything does not sound right
or if there appears to be a problem.
3. The planer should run smoothly with little to
no vibration or rubbing noises. If any strange
noise is noticed, shut down machine and re-
check all adjustments.
