NOTE:
• Insert the hex bolts through the holes from the
reverse side of the stand and secure them with the
flat washers and hex nuts. If you insert the hex bolts
from above the planer base, the hex bolts cannot
be firmly secured.
The planer stand should be bolted with the four bolts to
the floor using the bolt holes provided in the legs.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Two or more pieces of narrow but similar thickness
stock can be passed through the planer side by
side. However, allow some spacing between the
stock to permit the feed rollers to grip the thinnest
piece of stock. Otherwise, a slightly thinner piece
could be kicked back by the cutterhead.
Place the workpiece flat on the table top.
Determine the depth of cut as described before.
Switch on the tool and wait until the blades attain full
speed. The workpiece should not be in contact with the
feed roller when you turn the tool on.
Then insert the workpiece flush with the table top.
When cutting a long or heavy workpiece, lift up its end
slightly at the start and the end of the cut to avoid goug-
ing or snipping at the extreme ends of the workpiece.
The use of the tool top enables quick, effortless return of
the workpiece to the infeed table side. This is especially
convenient with two operators.
