MOLDING
1.
Turn off and unplug the machine from the power
source.
2.
- If only the face is to be profiled: Cut your workpiece
to it’s final width.
- If the edges are to be trimmed by the knives: Cut
your workpiece to 1/32" wider than it’s final width.
It is also recommended that all workpieces are planed to
the final mold width and height before setting up the
molder for any given profile.
3.
Position the fences against each edge of the work-
piece
A
, without pinching the workpiece between the
fences – make sure the workpiece can be fed
between the fences without binding.
4.
Loosen the cutter head lock lever
B
and lower the
cutter head until the knife barely makes contact with
the workpiece.
5.
Check that the workpiece is properly aligned with the
knife and if needed adjust the fence positioning left
or right to align the workpiece, then raise the cutter
head just enough to remove the workpiece.
6.
Adjust the cutter head downward by one full turn on
the handwheel to take a 3/32” depth of cut.
7.
Proceed to steps
5
to
10
of previous section “Planing”.
A
MAKE SURE THE PLANER / MOLDER HAS BEEN
TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE.

NEVER PUSH, PULL OR OTHERWISE TRY TO MOVE OR RE-POSITION THE WORKPIECE ONCE IT IS IN THE CONTROL
OF THE AUTOMATIC FEED ROLLERS.
10.
Step to the rear of the machine and recover the
planed board on the table once it has cleared the
out-feed roller and has stopped advancing.
9.
Slowly slide the workpiece forward until the in-feed
roller “grips” the board. Release the board allowing
the feed roller to automatically feed the board
through the planer.

REPEAT/MULTIPLE PASSES (FOR PLANING AND MOLDING)
In most cases several passes through the machine will be required to bring the workpiece(s) down to final thickness
dimension or specific profile. In fact, it is generally preferable to remove less material per pass and achieve final
thickness dimension/specific profile by taking multiple passes. This can extend blade life, place less strain on the
motor and provide better workpiece finish quality that will require less time spent sanding later.
Once all the boards have been passed through the machine once, set them aside and turn off the machine.
Measure the workpiece(s) thickness / Inspect the profile, and if more material needs to be removed, repeat the
steps of section “Planing” or “Molding” accordingly.
Take as many passes as needed to achieve final workpiece thickness/profile, stopping the machine after each
pass to reset the cutter head height, as well as the feed rollers height if needed.
