OPERATIONS 

NOTE: 

This operations section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this 

planer. However, it is in no way comprehensive of every planer operation. It is strongly recommended 
that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your planer 
while minimizing the risks. 
   

NOTE:

 This planer is designed to process wood ONLY. 

 

POWER SWITCH 

The planer is turned on by flipping the switch into the up position and it is turned off by flipping the 
switch in the down position. This planer is also equipped with a special lockout toggle switch that 
prevents unauthorized use. To prevent unauthorized use of the planer, simply pull out the yellow key 
(A) located on the face of the switch. SEE FIG 9.

 

 

 

FIG 9 
 

DEPTH-OF-CUT INDICATOR 

The Depth-Of-Cut Indicator, located on the front of the machine, is a convenient way to quickly 
determine how much material is being planed off in one pass. 
1. 

With the machine OFF, insert your work piece just under the cut scale (A). SEE FIG 10. 

2. 

Crank the raising / lowering handle until the button (B) comes in contact with the work piece.     

 

As you rotate the raise / lower handle, the needle on the depth of cut scale will move showing 

 

how much material will be removed in that pass.
