OPERATION (CONTINUED)
If the breaker is tripped, turn the planer/molder off and reset the
circuit by pressing the button.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn the planer/molder off prior to reset-
ting the circuit breaker to avoid unintentional start-up of the
planer/molder.
SWITCH LOCK
Refer to Figure 13.
The planer/molder can be locked from unauthorized use by lock-
ing the switch. To lock the switch:
•
Turn the switch to OFF position and disconnect planer/molder
from power source.
•
Pull the key out. The switch cannot be turned on with the key
removed.
NOTE:
Should the key be removed from the switch at the ON posi-
tion, the switch can be turned off but cannot be turned on.
•
To replace key, slide key into the slot on switch until it snaps.
RAISING AND LOWERING ROLLERCASE
Refer to Figures 14 and 15.
The rollercase contains the motor, cutterhead and dust collector.
The depth-of-cut is controlled by raising or lowering the rollercase.
For rapid movement of the rollercase, push up or down on power
elevation lever while motor is running (see Figure 14).
WARNING:
Do not attempt to engage power elevation while
planing. Keep hands clear of knob on top of planer/molder.
For precise movement, rotate handle with knob. One complete rota-
tion of handle will raise or lower rollercase by
1
/
16
″
(see Figure 15).
A rotational direction label with depth indicator is located under
the handle.
FEED RATE ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 14.
•
The planer/molder has a 2-speed gearbox that feeds the work-
piece at 22 feet per minute (standard planing) and at 11 feet
per minute (for molding or finish planing).
Finish planing a workpiece results in a better surface finish than
that obtained by planing at the higher speed.
•
The knob for adjusting the feed rate is located on the left side
of the top of the rollercase.
NOTE:
Only change feed rate while the machine is running.
