However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust
masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t
make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and
exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE
MACHINE. Learn the machine’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards.
2. Only trained and qualified personnel should operate this machine.
3. Kickback. Become familiar with the term “Kickback” and how it occurs before operating
this planer. Kickback happens when the piece part is thrown towards the operator at a high
rate of speed with the potential for serious injury.
4. Kickback Zone. The path directly behind the end of the in-feed table is referred to as the
“Kickback zone”. NEVER stand or allow others to stand in this area while the machine is

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Remove planer from the shipping cartons. Check for damage and ensure all parts are intact.
Any damage should be reported immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Before
assembling, read the manual thoroughly, familiarizing yourself with correct assembly and
maintenance procedures and proper safety precautions.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy oil coating and grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. To remove this protective coating, use a degreaser or solvent
cleaner. 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.
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.
Although some users prefer a wax coating for the table surfaces, white talcum powder rubbed in
vigorously once a week with a blackboard eraser will fill any casting pores and form a moisture
barrier. Talcum powder will not stain wood or mar finishes.
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.

ELECTRICAL
Motor Specifications
Your tool is wired for 220 volt, 60Hz alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power
source, make sure the machine is cut off from power source.
Connections
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. If an extension cord is used, use
only 3-wire extension cords, which have grounding type plugs and receptacles, which accept
the tool’s plug. 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.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
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.
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.
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.
