STARTING AND

STOPPING PLANER

The “ON/OFF” switch (A) Fig. 13, is located on the front

of the planer motor. To turn the machine “ON”, move the

switch toggle (B) to the up position. To turn the switch

“OFF”, move the switch toggle (B) to the down position.

LOCKING SWITCH IN

THE “OFF” POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch

should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent

unauthorized use. Grasp the switch toggle (B) and pull

it out as shown in Fig. 14. With the switch toggle

removed, the switch will not operate. However, should

the switch toggle (B) Fig. 14, be removed while the

machine is running, the switch (A) can be turned “OFF”

once, but cannot be restarted without reinserting the

switch toggle.

RECOMMENDED

DEPTH-OF-CUT

A dual English/Metric scale and pointer, located at the

right front of the machine, indicates the thickness of the

workpiece. NOTE: One revolution of the raising and

lowering handle (B) Fig. 15, will move the cutterhead up

or down 5/64 .

A 3/32 depth-of-cut can be made in soft woods on

stock 8 wide and in hard woods on stock up to 7 wide.

See chart Fig. 16.

For 10 and 12 wide soft wood, we recommend a maxi-

mum depth-of-cut of 1/16 . For 10 and 12 wide hard

wood, a maximum depth-of-cut of 3/64 is

recommended. IMPORTANT: A 3/32 DEPTH-OF-CUT

CAN BE MADE IN 10 AND 12 WIDE SOFT AND HARD

WOODS. HOWEVER, CONTINUOUS OPERATION AT

THIS CUTTING DEPTH CAN CAUSE PREMATURE

MOTOR FAILURE.

RAISING AND LOWERING

HEAD ASSEMBLY

The head assembly (A) Fig. 15, contains the cutterhead

feed rolls, chip deflector and motor. Raising and

lowering the head assembly controls the depth-of-cut

on your planer. To raise or lower the head assembly,

rotate the raising and lowering handle (B). NOTE: One

revolution of the handle will move the cutterhead up or

down approximately 5/64 . An English/metric scale (C)

and pointer (D) is located on the side of the planer for

ease in setting the height of the cutterhead.
