manual abstract
1. True Up One Face – Feed one face of the board through a jointer. Make thin cuts with each pass until the entire surface is flat. 2. Plane to Thickness – Place the surfaced side (STEP 1) face down and feed the board through a planer until the opposite side is flat. Plane both sides of the board until you achieve your desired thickness. Make thin cuts, alternating sides with each pass. If, during the planing operation, you notice the board twisting, warping or bowing, start again with STEP 1. 3. Support both ends of the long workpieces. 4. For best results, engage the cutterhead lock before planing. Plane with the grain only. Keep the planer table clean. Occasionally, wax the table surface to reduce friction during the planing operation. 5. Cross-cut your lumber to the final length. The knives on the planer will not wear evenly if the wood is fed through the same spot on the table every time. Feed the wood through the planer at different spots on the table when possible to help eliminate uneven wear of the knives. KNIFE TRANSFER TOOL STORAGE You can store your supplied knife transfer tool (A) Fig. 24 underneath the outfeed table extension (B) on the Velcro strip. Fig. 24 B A 14 -English WRENCH STORAGE You can store your supplied wrench (A) Fig. 25 in the wrench storage hole (B), located on the left rear side of the machine. CARRYING HANDLES Carrying handles (B) Fig. 26 are provided on both sides of the planer at the base and the top. Fig. 25 A B Fig. 26 B B STOCK TRANSFER BAR You can use the stock transfer bar (A) Fig. 27 for transferring stock (especially long workpieces) from the outfeed end to the infeed end of the machine for additional cuts.

To change the knives: Disconnect machine from power source! 1. Remove the two top covers (C) Fig. 28. 2. Raise the head assembly (B) to 4" (102 mm) on the “Scale and Pointer”. 3. Remove the two screws (A) Fig. 28. Pull the cutterhead guard (B) straight out. The knives are sharp. Be careful when removing, handling, or installing knives. 4. Pull the guard down (G) Fig. 29 to gain access to the hex hole in the end of the cutterhead. 5. Insert the supplied wrench into the hex hole (A) Fig. 29. Rotate the cutterhead until the cutterhead lock engages. 6. Use the wrench (E) Fig. 30 to loosen the seven screws (F) enough to allow the locking bar (D) to separate from the knife. 7. Place the magnetized knife transfer tool (G) Fig. 31 under the center of the knife. Lift the knife transfer tool until the knife (H) separates from the pins. Remove the knife.

Place the knife in the cutterhead underneath the locking bar (D) with the bevel edge up. Ensure that the pins in the cutterhead and locking bar engage with the holes in the knife. 9. Remove the magnetized knife transfer tool and tighten the seven screws loosened in STEP 6. 10. To replace the other knife, repeat STEPS 4 THROUGH 9. 11. After both knives are installed, depress the cutterhead lock (D) Fig. 33. Place the cutterhead guard in position and over the cutterhead lock. Slide the guard in as far as possible. Replace the two screws (A) Fig. 33 that were removed in STEP 3. Fig. 32 DHG Fig. 33 B D A BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT Disconnect machine from power source! Brush life varies. It depends on the load on the motor. Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new machine or after a new set of brushes has been installed. After the first check, examine them after about every 10 hours of use until replacement is necessary. The brush holders, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 34, are located on the motor housing opposite each other. One of the removed brushes is illustrated in Fig. 35. When the carbon (B) on either brush is worn to 3/16" (4.8 mm) in length or if either spring (C) or shunt wire is burned or damaged, replace both brushes. If the brushes are found serviceable after removing, reinstall them.
