OPERATIONS (cont)
POWER SWITCH
The planer is turned ON by flipping the switch into the left position and it is turned OFF by flipping
the switch to the right. 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
safety key located on the face of the switch. When installing the yellow safety key, make sure it is
inserted completely and a faint “click” is felt.
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 powered OFF, and the cutterhead raised, insert your workpiece just under
the indicator arrow.
2.
Crank the cutterhead down until the button comes in contact with the workpiece.
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. Note, the needle may jump
during the planing of your stock. This is normal.
