Prior to starting the Bench Top Planer, make sure all adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool.

To avoid damage to the Blades (part #22), make sure to check the workpiece for
any foreign materials such as nails, screws, or hard impurities in the wood. Also
check for loose knots in the wood.

The Power Switch (part #21A*) is located on the front of the Bench Top Planer.
To start the Planer, lift the yellow Safety Switch Cover. Then, depress the Power
Switch to its “ON” position.

Before cutting, turn on the Bench Top Planer and check for excessive machine
vibration. If this is found, turn off the machine and correct the problem before
using.
9.
Allow the Blades (part #22) to turn up to full speed before feeding the workpiece
into the Blades. When turning off the Bench Top Planer, allow the Blades to slow
down and stop on their own. Do not press against the Blades to stop them.
10.
When feeding the workpiece, use a push block (not included) to feed the
workpiece rather than using your hands. The push block must be thinner than
three inches.
11.
When planing a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly sup-
ported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with a larger workpiece.
12.
Stand off to one side, and feed the workpiece into the Blades (part #22)
gradually
. Do not force the machine to remove material faster than it was de-
signed to cut.
13.
After each planing, you can use the Rollers (part #7) on top of the Bench Top
Planer to roll the workpiece back to the feeder position rather than carrying the
workpiece back and forth.
(See Figure F.)
14.
Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Bench Top
Planer while it is plugged in and running.
15.
Turn off the Bench Top Planer if the workpiece is to be backed out of an uncom-
pleted cut.
16.
After completing a job, always turn the Power Switch (part #21A*)) to its
“OFF”
position and unplug the Bench Top Planer from its electrical power outlet.
