When using your machine, follow these few simple steps for achieving the best results.

1. T

rue Up One Face – Feed one face of the board over a jointer, making thin cuts with each pass, until the entire

surface is flat.

2. Plane

to Thickness – Place the side you planed in STEP 1 face down and feed the board through the planer. Plane

until this side is flat, then plane both sides of the board until you are satisfied with the thickness. Make thin cuts,

and alternate sides with each pass. If, during the planing operation, you notice the board twisting, warping, or bow-

ing, repeat STEP 1 and true up one face.

3. When planing long stock, provide table extensions to support the infeed and outfeed end of the workpiece.

4. Plane with the grain only, and keep planer table clean. Occasionally, wax the table surface to reduce friction during

the planing operation.

5. Cr

oss-cut to Final Length – Cross-cut lumber to 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 DIF-

FERENT SPOTS ON THE TABLE TO HELP ELIMINATE UNEVEN WEAR OF THE KNIVES.

MAINTENANCE

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER

use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.

FAILURE TO START

Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet. Also,

check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

LUBRICATING WORK SURFACES

Apply household floor paste wax to the

machine table and

extension table or other work surface weekly.

LUBRICATING THE FEED ROLLERS

The machine’s feed rollers must be lubricated about every 50 to 100

hours of use or as needed. To lubricate the machine’s feed rollers,

add a few drops of 10W Machine oil in the oil cups, two of which

are shown at (A) and (B) in Fig. 55. The other two are in the same

location on the opposite side of the rollers.

PROTECTING CAST IRON FROM RUST

To clean and protect cast iron tables from rust, you will

need the following materials: 1 pushblock from a jointer,

1 sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad, 1

can of WD-40

, 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote

Aerosol. Apply the WD-40 and polish the table surface

with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a hold-

down. Degrease the table, then apply the TopCote

accordingly.
