Planer Overview
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the
controls of your new planer. They will be
frequently mentioned throughout this
instruction manual. The better you know your
machine, the better you can make it perform.
Figure 10
points out your planer controls and
features.
As with all precision machinery, adjustments to
the planer require very close tolerances. The
adjustments described in this section have a
basic factory setting. However, due to storage
and shipping, it is necessary for you to fine-
tune these adjustments in the same order as
presented in this manual, or your planing
results will be compromised. To achieve exact
results, use a dial indicator or a Rotacator
®
(refer to Planer Accessories on pages 34 and
35). Once you set up the planer correctly, you
will enjoy stable machine settings and
excellent planing results for a long time.

WEAR thick gloves and use
extreme caution when
working near cutting
surfaces. Planer knives are
dangerously sharp! Failure
to exercise care while
working near knives could
result in severe injury.
