OPERATION
PLANER TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The Hand Wheel controls the height setting for the
planer's bed and the final planed thickness of your
lumber (thickness of the workpiece after planing).
A maximum of 1/8" material can be
removed in one pass through the planer. Do not exceed
this depth of cut or damage to your machine may result.
The maximum thickness of stock to be planed is 16",
and the maximum width of boards is 8-13/16".
1. Height adjustment is made with the hand wheel
(FIG. 6, A). One full turn of the hand wheel changes the
height of the planer bed (B) by 1/8".
- Clockwise turning = raises the planer bed.
- Counter-clockwise turning = lowers the planer bed.
2. The planing thickness is indicated on the Scale (C).
3. After preliminary cuts are made on all of your lumber,
and the final thickness is settled, the table can be
locked with the Lever (D). This is useful to ensure the
setting will not change throughout the planing process,
especially if a lot of lumber is to be planed at the same
thickness.

THICKNESSING
NOTE: Thickness planing is used to reduce lumber with
one already flattened surface, to a desired thickness.
- The surface that is already milled flat should rest
down on the planer bed.
- The lumber is then run through the planer.
- The planer cuts the upper surface of the lumber,
so the top surface is flat and parallel with the
bottom surface and at a consistent thickness.
WORKPIECE DIMENSIONS
- Length: minimum 8-13/16"; for lumber over 72" use
a second person for support, or auxiliary rollers.
- Width: maximum of 16".
- Thickness: minimum of 1/4", maximum 8-13/16".
NOTE: The maximum depth of cut for a single pass is
1/8". For best cutting action and final surface results, it
is best to take multiple small cuts of 1/16" or less, rather
than deeper cuts, especially on wide boards.
This machine is intended for surface thickness planing of natural, solid woods. The permissible workpiece dimensions
must be observed. Any other use not as specified, including modification of the machine or use of parts not tested
and approved by the equipment manufacturer can cause unforeseen damage.

FEED RATE
SPEEDS
PLANER FEED RATE SPEED CHANGE
The feed speeds of this machine can be adjusted by the
handle (#155). FIG. 7.
- Start the motor.
- Turn the handle clockwise, the feed speed will be
increased.
- Turn the handle counter-clockwise, the feed speed
will decrease.
NOTE: The feed speed changing handle only can be
operated when the motor is running. DO NOT change the
feed speed while a board is being planed. Damage to the
machine may result.
