UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts
from the packing material and check each item carefully. Make
certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing
material.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a
degreaser or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to
allow for cleaning the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally
have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted
surfaces.
WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic
bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children
and animals.
If any parts are missing, DO NOT place the machine into service until the missing
parts are obtained and installed correctly.
WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.

12
12
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to
stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
IMPORTANT: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers,
such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the
lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:
The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 –2 times
the machines gross weight.
Make sure the machine is balanced. While
transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and maintain
a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks
that are long enough to reach the complete width of
the machine.
Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to
the pallet.
Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
GAS

13
13
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or
hoist:
Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting
holes provided at the top of the machine.
Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable of
lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the machine.
Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an
inch or two.
Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or
quick changes of direction.
Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and
lower slowly until it touches the floor.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
Overall weight of the machine.
Weight of material being processed.
Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
It is important to maintain free area around the machine, which is required for the working
place. If any long material is machined, it is necessary to have a sufficient room in front of
the machine as well behind it in the places of material input and output.
LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
A

14
14
FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
Base Levelling
The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. The accuracy of any machine depends
on the precise placement of it to the mounting surface. Locate the planer in an area that is level
and provides a solid foundation. Make sure that any potential kickback is not in line with aisles,
doorways, wash stations or other work areas.
Place the pads under the four leveling bolts
mounted in the base.
Place a level on the table of the planer and adjust
leveling bolts until the machine is resting level.
Tighten the hex nuts against the base of the planer
to keep the leveling bolts from turning.
Dust Chute Assembly
1. Mount the dust chute to the planer hood with six
M6 x 10 hex head screws (A). Three on top and
three under the hood.
2. Make sure the dust collection system has sufficient
capacity and suction for your planer.
3. Always turn on the dust collection system before
starting the planer.
WARNING: Before operating; make sure it is positioned firmly on a solid
level floor. If it tips over on you, it could cause severe injury or death.
A

Assembly Extension Table
Important: Use and assistant or a
lifting devise to lift and hold the table extension
in position during assembly.
1. Position the extension table up against the
main table and install the three hex head
bolts snug enough to hold the extension in
position.
2. Install the three leveling set screws finger
tight and then loosen 1/2 turn.
3. Place straight edge across the extension and the
main table.
4. Level the extension table to the main table. Use
the hex head bolts to align the table up and down
at the joint. Use the set screws to lift or lower the
outer end of the extension table.
5. When the extension is level, fully tighten the hex
head bolts.

ELECTRICAL
Power Specifications
Your tool is wired for 220 volts, 60Hz alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power
source, make sure the machine is cut off from power source.
Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if
they meet with the requirement, the allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency
is ±1%.
Considerations
Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current
is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool.
All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Baileigh Industrial is not responsible for any damage caused
by wiring up to an alternative 3-phase power source other than direct 3-phase. If you
are using an alternate power source, consult a certified electrician or contact
Baileigh Industrial prior to energizing the machine.
CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY
A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.
WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected
to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if
any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
Connecting Power Supply
You may either install a plug or “hard-wire” the Planer directly to a control panel.
If you are connecting a plug, use a proper UL/CSA listed 3-pole, 3-wire grounding plug
suitable for 220 Volt operation.
If the Planer is to be hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect switch is readily
available for the operator.
During hard-wiring of the Planer, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers
have been tripped in the circuit to which the Planer will be connected. Place a warning
placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on while the machine
is being wired. Always follow proper lockout /tagout procedures.
1. Lock power out to the circuit that will provide power
to the machine.
2. Remove the electrical box cover.
3. Route the electrical cable into the electrical box.
a. Route the power cord so that it will NOT become
entangled in the machine in any way.
b. Route the power cord so that it will NOT create a
trip hazard.
4. Using wire nuts, connect the three power wires to
the wire leads Black, Red, & White. Connect the
ground wire (typically green) to the Green lead.
WARNING:In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
