A 230V plug is not supplied with the planer and must be purchased at
your local hardware store. The 230V plug must be suitable for 230V
operation. Contact a qualified electrician to install the plug. The planer
must comply with all local and national codes after the 230V plug is
installed.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the
chart in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire size (mm squared)
extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have
3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the
tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage
to the motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.

ADJUSTI G TABLE ROLLERS
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A) Fig.9, which aid in feeding
the stock by reducing friction and turn as the stock is fed through the planer.
It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height setting of
the table rollers because each type of wood behaves differently.
As a general rule, when planing rough stock, the table rollers should be set
at a high position, and when planing soft and smooth stock the table rollers
should be set at a low position. The rollers should be set at the level which
most reflects the planing you do, frequent adjustment of the table rollers
may cause premature wear and tear.
NOTE: The raising range is between 0.07mm - 0.15mm (0.003”-0.006”)
when raising the roller higher above the table as shown in Fig.10.
The table rollers on your planer are set for average planing and are parallel
to the table surface. If you desire to adjust the table rollers higher or lower,
preceed as follows;
1. Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2. ay a straight edge (A) Fig.11 across both rollers, loosen both set screws
(B) Fig.11, and turn the eccentric shafts (C) to raise or lower the table
rollers, when the proper height is obtained tighten screws (B). The table
rollers must be adjusted on the opposite end of the table in the same
manner.
NOTE: Be sure that the height of the front and rear rollers are the same.
The table rollers must always be set parallel to the table.
ASSEMBLI G SOLID TABLE EXTE SIO S
Solid table extensions are supplied and can be assembled to the front and
back of your planer table. To install the front extension table, hold the
extension table against the front of the table and using hex. bolts and
washers (A) Fig.12 supplied, fix the extension table to the table.
To adjust the extension table parallel with the table surface, place a straight
edge on the top of the table and extension table. Adjust the position of the
extension table by using the set screws (B) Fig.12 found underneath until
the table extension and the main table are perfectly parallel.
Repeat the above steps for the rear extension table.

CO TROLLI G THE DEPTH OF CUT
The cutting depth scale (A) Fig.13 includes a combination of inch/metric
measurements with a cutting range from 0 - 203mm (0” to 8”). The upward
or downward movement is controlled by the handwheel (B). One turn of the
handwheel will increase or decrease the height by 1.5mm (0.059”). Before
attempting to move the position of the head up or down, loosen the lock
knobs (C). Once the head is at the proper height, retighten lock knobs (C).
ADJUSTEME TS & TOOLS EEDED
Although your planer was carefully adjusted at the factory, it should be
checked before being put into operation. Any inaccuracies due to rough
handling in transit can easily be corrected by following these directions. In
order to check the adjustments you will need a straight edge, feeler gauge
and a homemade gauge block made of hard wood. This gauge block can
be made by following the dimensions shown in Fig.14.
ROTATING/CHANGING CARBIDE CUTTER INSERTS
WARNING! When checking cutter inserts, always make sure the
planer is disconnected from the power source.
To check, adjust or replace the cutterhead cutter inserts, first you must
remove the upper cover as described below;
1. Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2. Remove the six screws (A) Fig.15, and remove the upper cover (B). Only
4 of the 6 screws are shown in Fig.15.
A Torx bit is supplied with this planer to remove or adjust the position of the
carbide cutter inserts secured in the cutterhead. The spiral cutterhead is
equipped with 64 indexable carbide cutter inserts which can be rotated to
reveal one of its four cutting edges. Once a cutter insert becomes dull or
damaged, simply rotate it 90º to reveal a fresh cutting edge. In addition,
each cutter insert has a reference mark on one corner. This reference mark
can be used as an indicator of which edges are used and which are new.
Once the reference mark revolves back around to its starting position, the
cutter insert should be replaced.
To rotate or change a cutter insert;
1) Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2) Remove the upper cover as shown in Fig.16.
3) Note the position of the reference mark. Using the Torx bit, remove
cutter insert by turning counterclockwise. The cutter insert and the seat
should be as clean as possible. This will prevent breakage of inserts
and ensure proper insert alignment.
4) If cutter insert is damaged, replace it a new one. If it is not damaged,
rotate it as shown in illustration below, using a torque wrench, tighten to
approximately 45-55 in/lbs torque.
5) Reposition and secure upper cover.

FEED SPEED CO TROL
Your planer is equipped with a spiral, serrated infeed roller and a solid steel
outfeed roller. When the feed rollers are engaged, they turn to feed stock.
The feed rollers slow down automatically when the planer is under heavy
load. The feed rollers are driven by chains (D) Fig. 27 and the sprockets
(E), which take power directly from the cutterhead through the oil gear box
(F).
WAR I G! O LY CHA GE FEED SPEED WHE THE MACHI E IS
RU I G.
There are two feed speeds in the gear box, they are controled by using the
speed shift lever (G) Fig.27. When the speed shift lever is completely
pushed in (A) Fig.28, the feed speed rate is 9.1m/min (30 ft/min), when it is
completely pulled out (C) the feed speed rate is 4.8m/min (16 ft/min) and
the center position (B) is a neutral setting.
RETUR ROLLERS
The two return rollers (A) Fig. 29 on the top of the planer serve as a
convenient stock rest. When planed lumber is returned to the infeed side,
it saves time and motion.
100MM (4”) DUST COLLECTOR HOOD
This standard accessory dust collector hood (B) Fig.29 is assembled to the
rear of the planer using hex. bolts and washers. Connecting a dust collector
to your planer provides an efficient means of maintaining a clean and safe
work area. Good dust collection and chip removal is essential for smooth
planing.

CHECKI G WORK TABLE PARALLEL TO CUTTERHEAD
The work table is set parallel to the cutterhead at the factory and no further
adjustment should be necessary. If your planer is planing a taper, first
check to see if the knives are set properly in the cutterhead, proceed as
follows;
1. Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2. Place the gauge block (A) Fig.17 on the work table directly under the
front edge of the head casting (B), make slight contact by gently raising
the table as shown in Fig.17.
3. Move the gauge block (A) to the opposite end of the work table as shown
in Fig.18.
IMPORTANT: The distance from the work table to the edge of the head
casting should be the same.
4. Adjust opposite end in the same manner.
ADJUSTI G WORK TABLE PARALLEL TO CUTTERHEAD
If the work table is not parallel to the cutterhead, peform the following
adjustments;
1. Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2. Tilt planer on its side to expose the underside of the base as shown in
Fig. 19.
3. Remove cap screw (A) and loosen cap screw (B) Fig.19, these two
cap screws will allow you to move the idler sprocket assembly (C) far
enough to release tension on the chain as shown in Fig.20.
4. Remove chain from the sprocket from the corner which needs
adjusting. Fig.20 shows the chain removed from the sprocket (D).
5. Turn sprocket (D) by hand to bring that corner into adjustement with
the other three corners.
IMPORTA T OTE: Turning sprocket (D) clockwise will increase the
distance between the work table and the head casting, counter-
clockwise will decrease the distance. This adjustment is very
sensitive and it should not be necessary to turn the sprocket more
than one or two teeth.

(0.004”), the pressure bar was set at 0.2mm (0.008”) and the outfeed roller
was set at 0.5mm (0.02”) and all of them below the cutting circle as shown
in Fig.24. If an adjustment to the infeed roller, chipbreaker, pressure bar or
outfeed roller is necessary, follow the next steps;
Example: To check and adjust the outfeed roller 0.5mm (0.02”) below the
cutting circle, proceed as follows;
1. Disconnect planer from power source.
2. Make sure the knives are adjusted properly before attempting the
following adjustment.
3. Place the gauge block (G) on the table directly underneath the
cutterhead, as shown in Fig.25. Using a 0.5mm (0.02”) Feeler gauge (D)
placed on top of the gauge block, raise the work table until the knife just
touches the feeler gauge when the knife is at its lower point. Do not move
the work table any further until the outfeed roller is adjusted.
4. Move the gauge block (G) under one end of the outfeed roller (B) as
shown in Fig.26. The bottom of the outfeed roller should just touch the
top of the gauge block. If an adjustment to the outfeed roller is necessary,
loosen the lock nut (K) Fig.26 and turn screw ( ) until the outfeed roller
just touches the gauge block. Retighten lock nut (K).
