UNPACKING &
MOVING YOUR PLANER
UNPACKING AND CLEANUP
To ensure maximum performance from your planer, clean it properly and
install it accurately before use.
As soon as you receive the planer, we recommend you follow these
procedures :
1. Inspect packing crate for damage in transit. Record damage and report
it immediately to shipping company or retailer.
2. Open crate and check that machine arrived in good condition. If not, let
your industrial retailer know immediately.
3. Before lifting machine, remove all bolts locking it to its shipping base.
4. Transport machine to location with a hand truck, sling or dolly.
5. Remove the protective coating from the table, bed rolls, feed rolls,
cutterhead and loose items packed with the machine, including lifting
handles and motor pulley.
6. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with Kerosene.
NOTE : Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose.
7. Do not use solvents on plastic parts; solvents dissolve and dammage
plastic.
8. Care must be taken when cleaning the cutterhead as the knives are
installed in the cutterhead and they are very sharp.
MOVING PLANER
Lifting Handles
There are four lifting handles to facilitate the transportation of your planer. All
lifting handles are the pull out type. Pull the handles out for use, push them
back in when not in use. Two of the lifting handles (A) are as shown in Fig.3
& Fig.4.
Lifting Planer
If any type of sling is used to lift machine, be sure to only attach the sling to
the lifting handles. Be sure that machine is kept in level position while lifting,
as shown in Fig.4.
This step must be done before the installation of solid extension tables.
