To assemble machine:
This machine must be fully assembled before it
can be operated. Before beginning the assembly
process, refer to Required for Setup and gather
all listed items. To ensure the assembly process
goes smoothly, first clean any parts that are
covered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative
(if applicable).
Assembly
1.
Attach each extension table to planer table
with (3) M12-1.75 x 50 hex bolts and 12mm
flat washers, as shown in Figure 18. Hand-
tighten for now.
2.
Thread (3) M10-1.5 x 20 set screws into each
extension table (see Figure 18).
Straining or crushing injury may occur from
improperly lifting extension tables. To reduce
this risk, get help from other people or use
lifting equipment rated for weight of these
tables.

a concrete floor.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a
concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with
the floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and
move the machine later, if needed. However,
anytime local codes apply, you MUST follow the
anchoring methodology specified by the code.
Mounting to Concrete Floors
Anchoring machine to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting that may occur during operation with
large/heavy workpieces.
If machine is installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently
connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local
codes may require that it be anchored to the floor.
Shims may be required when mounting the
planer to the floor. If the floor is uneven and
you tighten the mounting bolts without shims,
you can crack the cast-iron base. Shim any
gaps between the base and the floor before
fully tightening the mounting bolts.
