The Controls
The depth control (ser Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) is located on the centre of the machine, just over the engine. Fig. 4 shows the control
in the idle position and Fig. 5 shows the planning position. Turning the crank clockwise adjusts the planning depth lower;
counter-clockwise rotation of crank raises the planning disc. Operator must be familiar with operation of this control before
using planer on the job.
The throttle is located on the right hand side (see 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. Lowering control lever increases the engine speed. Raising the control
lever decreases the engine speed.
