OPERATION
Before Operation
Check to see that engine is serviced properly. Read Honda operation and safety instructions. Handle gasoline with extreme
caution. Make certain belt guards and blade guards are in place and secure and that there are no signs of damage or wear of
these parts. Never operate machine with damaged or missing guards. Serious injury may otherwise result.
Engine Start-Up Operation
After checking the planer disc and blocks (refer to the planer block installation section), put the depth control in the idle
position and make certain the control is set so that the blocks do not come in contact with the roof deck (see Fig. 3). Pushing
Down on the handles will allow the depth control to slide to the idle position.
At this point, after you have read through all of the instructions, the Planer should be ready for operation.
Position planer where work is to be done, start the engine and allow to warm up. (Please refer to the engine manufacturer’s
owner’s manual). Depth adjustment must be set so that blocks do not come in contact with deck when set in idle position
(Fig. 3).
The throttle is located on the right hand side (Fig. 6). To actuate choke, lever must be in fully contracted position (all the way
down). Push the throttle control slightly to find full throttle position, and pull farther up for lower speed settings. To stop the
engine, pull all the way up on control lever.
