UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Remove planer from the shipping cartons. Check for damage and ensure all parts are intact.
Any damage should be reported immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Before
assembling, read the manual thoroughly, familiarizing yourself with correct assembly and
maintenance procedures and proper safety precautions.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy oil coating and grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. To remove this protective coating, use a degreaser or solvent
cleaner. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally have to be removed.
DO
NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
Although some users prefer a wax coating for the table surfaces, white talcum powder rubbed in
vigorously once a week with a blackboard eraser will fill any casting pores and form a moisture
barrier. Talcum powder will not stain wood or mar finishes.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
CAUTION:
When using cleaning solvents work in a well ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.
