RAISING AND LOWERING HEAD ASSEMBLY
The cutterhead assembly consists of the cutterhead, insert tips, feed rollers, roller chains,
gearbox, and cutterhead dust chute. Raising and lowering of the head assembly controls the
depth of cut on the planer.
To raise the cutterhead assembly, turn the adjusting crank handle clockwise. To lower the head
assembly, turn the adjusting crank handle counterclockwise.
NOTE:
One revolution of the handle will move the cutterhead up or down approximately 1/16”.
You can confirm this by referencing the thickness scale on the front right side of the planer.
POWER SWITCH
The planer is turned ON by flipping the switch into the left position and it is turned OFF by flipping
the switch to the right. This planer is also equipped with a special lockout toggle switch that
prevents unauthorized use. To prevent unauthorized use of the planer, simply pull out the yellow
safety key located on the face of the switch. When installing the yellow safety key, make sure it is
inserted completely and a faint “click” is felt.
