The return rollers on the top of the planer can be
used to pass the workpiece back to the front of
the machine for repeat passes.
11.
Repeat these steps as needed for all boards that
need to be planed to the same thickness.
9.
Step to the rear of the machine and recover the
planed board on the outfeed table once it has
cleared the outfeed roller and has stopped
advancing.
NEVER PUSH, PULL OR OTHERWISE TRY TO MOVE OR RE-
POSITION THE WORKPIECE ONCE IT IS IN THE CONTROL
OF THE AUTOMATIC FEED ROLLERS.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
•
Inspect/test the ON/OFF switch before each use. Do not operate the planer with a damaged switch; replace a
damaged switch immediately.
•
Keep the machine as well as the in-feed out-feed tables clean and free of saw dust, woodchips, pitch or glue.
Vacuum or brush off any loose debris and wipe down the machine and the tables occasionally with a damp
rag.
•
An occasional light coating of paste wax can help protect the tables’ surface and reduce workpiece friction.
Ask your local distributor for suggestions on aftermarket surface cleaners, protectant and dry lubricants based
on what is readily available in your area.
•
Avoid using silicon based products that may affect wood finishing products such as oil, solvent or water-based
stains, varnishes and lacquers.
•
Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage. To minimize the risk of electric shock or fire, never
operate the planer with a damaged power cord or plug. Replace a damaged power cord or plug at the first
visible signs of damage.
•
The motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated – no further lubrication is required.
•
The drive gears, chain and elevation screws should be cleaned of woodchips, dust, debris and old grease after
every 10-15 hours of use. After cleaning, re-apply a generous coating of any common automotive bearing
grease.
•
Regularly inspect planed workpieces for signs of knife damage or wear and replace damaged or worn knives
immediately.
MAKE SURE THE PLANER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENT.
