BASIC OPERATION
1. Put on safety glasses and a respirator, and secure loose clothing and long hair.
2. Unless your workpiece is very flat, surface plane the workpiece on a jointer until it is flat.
Having the face flat will ensure that it sits flat on the planer table during operation.
3. Adjust the table elevation
to slightly lower than your workpiece height (approximately 1/32” –
1/16” [0.8-1.6mm]). Cuts at this depth will usually take off the high spots.
4. Start the machine by pressing the CUTTERHEAD MOTOR switch on the power/table
control.
5. Place the flat side of the workpiece down on the table, and feed the workpiece through the
planer, making sure not to stand directly in front or behind the workpiece to avoid kick-back
injury.
If the cut is too heavy and bogs down the planer:
a.
Turn the planer OFF immediately by pressing the red EMERGENCY STOP button
on the power/table control.
b.
Allow the planer to come to a complete stop.
c.
Lower the table and remove the workpiece and repeat Steps 3
–5.
6. Measure your workpiece thickness and adjust the table elevation as necessary to take a
lighter or heavier pass, depending on your needs. For most wood types, 1/8” (3.1mm) per
pass is a good cutting depth.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, face
shield, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from, chips, dust, burrs, and
slivers.
WARNING:
DO NOT stand or allow anyone else to stand directly behind
infeed table while feeding material. DO NOT bend down to see how stock is feeding.
Should a kickback occur, serious or fatal injury could result.
