Checking Gearbox
Oil Level
Before starting your machine for the first time,
make sure the gearbox has oil. The proper oil
level is just even with the bottom of the fill plug
hole. The gearbox uses ISO 320, SAE 140 gear
oil, or SAE 85W–140 multi-weight gear oil. DO
NOT mix oil types.
Note: Although it is not necessary to remove
the drive chain cover to access the fill plug (see
Figure 23), it is more convenient to do so. To
remove the cover, remove the seven cap screws
that secure it to the planer.
To check gearbox oil level:
1. Use a 14mm wrench or socket to remove
gearbox fill plug (see
Figure 23).
2. Dip the short end of a clean 6mm hex wrench
inside fill hole, and then remove it.
— If the end of the hex wrench is coated
with oil, then the gearbox oil level is okay.
Replace the fill plug and continue setup.
— If the end of the hex wrench is not coated
with oil, then you need to add more oil.
Refer to
Gearbox Oil on Page 36 for
instructions on how to do this.
Note: We recommend that you replace the gear-
box oil after the first 20 hours of operation. This is
a normal break-in procedure and will help maxi-
mize the service life of the machine by flushing
away any particles from the break-in and manu-
facturing process.

Fill Plug
Dust Collection
This machine creates substantial amounts
of dust during operation. Breathing air-
borne dust on a regular basis can result in
permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your
risk by wearing a respirator and capturing
the dust with a dust collection system.
To connect the machine to a dust collection sys-
tem, fit a 4" dust hose (G0453W & G0453ZW), or
a 5" dust hose (G0454W & G0454ZW) over the
dust port, and secure in place with a hose clamp
(see
Figure 22). Tug the hose to make sure it
does not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port
•
G0453W & G0453ZW .................400 CFM
•
G0454W & G0454ZW .................625 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
