UNPACkING AND CLEANUP
WARNING!
TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, BEFORE ASSEMBLING
MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF. DO NOT TURN ON THE MACHINE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO AFTER ALL
ASSEMBLY STEPS IN THIS MANUAL HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
To ensure maximum performance from your machine, clean it properly and install it accurately before use. As soon as you receive the
machine, we recommend you follow these procedures:
1. Inspect packing crate for damage in transit. Record damage and report it immediately to shipper.
2. Open crate and check that machine arrived in good condition. If not, let your dealer know immediately.
3. Before lifting machine, remove all bolts locking it to its shipping base.
4. Transport machine to location with a pallet truck, sling or dolly.
5. Remove the protective coating from the tables, rollers, and loose items packed with the machine.
6. The protective coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with Kerosene.
NOTE:
Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose.
INSTALLING MAGNETIC SWITCH
The magnetic switch comes unattached to avoid damage during shipping. To
install the magnetic switch to the cabinet stand:
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 2 mounting pan head screws installed
on the left side of the cabinet stand.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 2 white plastic screws (A) Fig.4 which
secure the switch cover (B) to the main switch housing (C).
3. Using the mounting screws removed in step 1, secure the main switch housing
(C) to the cabinet stand by installing the 2 mounting pan head screws through
the two holes (D) in the main switch housing, as shown in Fig.4.
4. Reinstall the switch cover (B) using the 2 white plastic screws (A).
SWITCHING FROM JOINTER MODE TO PLANER MODE
This machine is in Jointer mode by default. To change the machine from Jointer
mode to Planer mode:
1. Loosen both table lock levers (A) Fig.5 by lifting them toward the front of the
machine.
2. Lift up the table assembly using the table lifting handle (B) Fig.5. Use caution
when lifting, as the table is heavy.
3. When the table is in the fully vertical position, a safety latch (A) Fig.6 will
prevent the table from moving. Make sure the latch is engaged before
continuing or operating the machine.
4. Lift the dust chute (B) Fig.6 up and rotate to the right. Pull on the dust chute
release knob (C) and lower the dust chute into position. Release the dust chute
locking knob. Connect a hose (not supplied) to a dust collector for optimal
results.
NOTE:
The Planer table may need to be lowered so that the dust chute has
enough clearance to rotate freely into Planer mode position. There is a limit switch
to prevent the machine from starting unless the dust hood is secured in the proper
position.
SWITCHING FROM PLANER MODE TO JOINTER MODE
To change the machine from Planer mode to Jointer mode:
1. Pull the dust chute release knob (C) Fig.6 and rotate the dust chute (B) Fig.6 to
the left. The planer table may need to be lowered so that the dust chute has
enough clearance to rotate freely.
2. Lift the table safety latch (A) Fig.6 to unlock table, and lower the table using the
table lifting handle (B) Fig.5. Use caution when lowing the table assembly, as
the table is heavy.
3. Lock the table, push the table lock levers (A) Fig.5 towards the center of the
machine and then lower them to lock the table.
