ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

MOUNTING THE PLANER TO A WORK SURFACE

The planer should always be mounted to a stable, level bench 

or table in a well-lit area. Make sure there is plenty of room for 

maneuvering the workpiece through the entire cut. Neither the 

operator nor bystanders should stand in line with the workpiece 

while the tool is operating.
1. Mount the planer to a workbench or tool stand using four 

bolts, four flat washers, and four hex nuts (not included) through 

the mounting holes on the base (Fig. 5). There are eight mount-

ing holes – one set of two holes at each corner.

NOTE:

 We recommend the WEN 

6588T 

or 

MSA658

 Planer Stand 

for both stability and easy transportation around the workshop.

OPERATION

ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON / OFF switch (Fig. 6 - 1) is located on the front of the 

planer motor. To turn the planer ON, make sure the safety key 

is inserted, and flip the switch to the up position. To turn the 

planer OFF, flip the switch to the down position.

SWITCH LOCKOUT

Remove the yellow safety key (Fig. 6 - 2) to engage child-safety 

lock and prevent unwanted start-ups. To lock the switch, flip the 

switch to the OFF position and disconnect the planer from its 

power source. Pull the safety key out (Fig. 6 - 2). The machine 

cannot be turned ON with the key removed. To turn the machine 

back ON, slide the key into the slot on the switch until it snaps 

into place, then flip the switch up.

WARNING!

 Do not connect planer to the power source 

until all assembly steps have been completed.

CAUTION!

 Be sure to turn the planer off prior to resetting the circuit breaker to avoid unintentional start-up 

of the planer.

NOTE: 

The key can be removed from the switch while in the ON position. This allows for the machine to be turned 

OFF, but prevents it from being turned back ON while the key is removed.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

This planer is equipped with a circuit breaker to protect the motor (Fig. 6 - 3). The breaker will automatically shut 

the planer off when excessive current is drawn. If the breaker is tripped, turn the planer off, wait a moment to allow 

the breaker to cool down, and reset the circuit by pressing the button. If the button pops back out, wait a few more 

minutes to allow it to cool down more. Reduce the depth of cut, reset the breaker, and try again.
