If your planer is to be used in a permanent location, it is   
recommended you secure it to a workbench or other stable 
surface. When mounting the planer to a workbench, holes 
should  be  drilled  through  the  supporting  surface  of  the 
workbench.

  Mark holes on workbench where planer is to be mounted 

using holes in planer base as a template for hole pattern.

  Drill four holes through workbench.

  Place planer on workbench aligning holes in the planer 

base with holes drilled in the workbench. 

  Insert four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with 

lock washers and hex nuts (not included).

 

NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install 
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the 
workbench.

Supporting  surface  where  planer  is  mounted  should  be 
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no move-
ment during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted,

ily be clamped to a workbench or other stable surface. The 
mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping 
while planer is in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard 
with a 3/4 in. thickness is recommended.
