OPERATIONS
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suitable
for planing.
2. Puts on safety glasses or face shield, a respirator,
and ear protection.
3. Places workpiece on table with flat side down
and correctly adjusts table height for workpiece
thickness and depth of cut.
—If workpiece is bowed, operator surface planes
workpiece on a jointer until one side is flat.
Doing so ensures that it sits solidly on planer
table during operation.
Loose hair/clothing could
get caught in machinery
and cause serious person-
al injury. Keep clothing and
long hair away from moving
machinery.
Eye injuries or respiratory problems can occur
while operating this tool. Wear personal pro-
tective equipment to reduce your risk from
these hazards.
Overview
DO NOT investigate prob-
lems or adjust the lathe
while it is running. Wait
until the machine is turned
OFF, unplugged and all
working parts have come
to a complete stop before
proceeding!
The overview below provides the novice machine
operator with a basic understanding of how the
machine is used during operation, so the machine
controls/components discussed later in this manual
are easier to understand. Due to its generic nature,
this overview is NOT intended to be an instructional
guide.
This machine will perform many types of operations
beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these can
be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at
any time you are experiencing difficulties performing
any operation, stop using the machine!
4. When all safety precautions have been taken,
turns planer ON.
5. Stands to one side of planer path to reduce risk
of kickback injuries, then feeds workpiece into
planer until infeed roller grabs it.
Note:
Infeed and outfeed rollers control feed rate
of workpiece as it passes through planer. Operator
does not push or pull on workpiece.
—If cut is too deep and bogs down planer, oper-
ator immediately reduces depth of cut.
6. Once workpiece is clear of outfeed roller and
stops moving, operator removes workpiece
from outfeed table and measures workpiece
thickness. If further planing is required, operator
raises table slightly (approximately
1
⁄
4
to
1
⁄
2
turn
of the handwheel), then feeds workpiece into
front of planer again.
7. Operator repeats this process until desired thick-
ness is achieved, then turns machine OFF.
