manual abstract
Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets or circuits. Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to children by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in the shop at any time. -10-G0505 121.2" Lean & Mean Portable Planer Mounting to Bench Handle AssemblHandle Assembly The planer can be directly mounted to a bench or table top, or to a Shop Fox® Deluxe Tool Table for increased stability during planing. To mount the planer: 1. Determine the correct length of hex bolts needed to mount the planer to your workbench. This will be the height of the planer mounting holes, plus the thickness of your workbench, plus an extra 1.2" for washers and the hex nut. 2. From the hardware store, get (4) 1.8" hex bolts that meet the length requirements for your setup. Also get (8) 1.2" flat washers, (4) 1.2" lock washers, and (4) 1.2" hex nuts. 3. Mount the planer to your workbench with your hardware in the order shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. Mounting planer to bench. Planer Mounting Hole Workbench To attach the handle assembly: 1. Align the flat portion inside the handle bore with the flat portion on the shaft. 2. Insert the handle assembly on the shaft that protrudes out of the top of the planer (see Figure 4). 3. Thread the M5-.8 x 20mm cap screw through the handle and into the shaft to secure the handle in place. DO NOT over-tighten. Figure 4. Attaching handle. G0505 121.2" Lean & Mean Portable Planer -11 Chip Deflector For your safety and for the proper operation of the machine, ensure that the chip deflector is secured before operation. The chip deflector directs wood chips away from the cutterhead during operation, and it covers the cutterhead and feed rollers for operator safety. To secure the chip deflector: 1. Align the chip deflector with the two studs mounted at the exit side of the planer. 2. Set chip deflector in place and use the two wing nuts and washers to secure. See Figure 5. Mounting Studs Figure 5. Chip deflector mounting studs. Test Run Once assembly is complete, you are ready to test run the machine. DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before you do anything! To test run the planer: 1. Plug the planer into the power source. 2. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there is a problem. 3. Run the Model G0505 for a short time to ensure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration. The planer should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further. If any problem develops, correct it before attempting to use the machine. If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises, contact our service department for help. -12- G0505 121.2" Lean & Mean Portable Planer SECTION 6: OPERATIONS Using this machine pro- duces sawdust that may cause short and long- term respiratory illness.
