GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term "power tool" in
the warnings refers to your electric (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

PT1000 02
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b) If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
7. Additional Safety and working
Instructions
7.1. Dust from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metals
can be harmful to one’s health and cause allergic
reactions, leading to respiratory infections and/or
cancer. Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked by specialists. Observe the relevant
regulations in your country for the materials to be
worked.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

PT1000 03
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
7.2. Prevent dust accumulation at the
workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
8. Additional Safety Warnings for
Planers.
8.1 Wait for the cutter to stop before setting
the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may
engage the surface leading to possible loss of
control and serious injury.
8.2 Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the cutter
may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
8.3 Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by your hand
or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
8.4 Use suitable detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for
assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.
8.5 Do not reach into the saw dust ejector
with your hands. They could be injured by
rotating parts.
8.6 Apply the machine to the work piece
only when switched on. Otherwise there is
danger of kick back when the cutting tool jams in
the workpiece.
8.7 When working, always hold the planer
in such a manner that the planer base plate
faces flat on the work piece. Otherwise the
planer can become wedged and lead to injuries.
8.8 Never plane over metal objects nails or
screws. The planer blade and the blade shaft can
become damaged and lead to increased vibrations.
9. Using an Extension Cable.
9.1. If an extension cable is required, use an
approved triple core extension cable suitable
for the power input of the tool.
9.2. Grounded tools always require a three wire
extension cable.
9.3. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases you must use a heavier gauge
extension cable. Using extension cables with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible
tool damage.
9.4. The smaller the gauge number of the wire
the greater the capacity of the cord.
9.5. When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.

The planer table height is set as follows:
–Unlock the table lock (A).
–Install the removable adjustment handle (C)
onto the shaft (B).
–Rotate the adjustment handle (C) clockwise to
raise the planer table (D), anti‐clockwise to lower.
Each revolution of the adjustment handle (C)
results in a 3/32” up or down movement of the
table (D). A scale indicates the amount of table
travel. The pointer (E) indicates the table position
on the scale relative to the cutter head.
Jointer Controls and Adjustments
Infeed Table Height Adjustment

1/16” or less is recommended.
Fence Bevel Adjustment
The fence (A) can be tilted backward (D) up to 45°
(That is, for a total included angle of 135° from
Table surface) as follows:
–Loosen lock handle (J).
–Tilt the fence (B2) back to the desired angle up to
135 degrees (G). Or you can place your bevelled
reference piece on the table and against the fence,
adjusting the fence until the angle of the fence
matches the bevel of your gauge piece.
–Tighten the lock handle (J).
Jointer Operations
Correct operating position
The operator must be positioned offset to the infeed
table.
WARNING! Never pass hands directly over the cutter
head.
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the
workpiece firmly against the infeed table and fence
while the right hand pushes the workpiece in a
smooth, even motion toward the cutter head.
After the cut is under way, the new surface rests
firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand is
transferred to the out feed side and presses down on
this part of the workpiece, at the same time
maintaining flat contact with the fence.

PT1000 10
OPERATION
The right hand presses the workpiece forward and
before the right hand reaches the cutter head it
should be moved to the work on the outfeed table.
Surfacing
The purpose of surfacing on a jointer is to produce
one flat surface (Figure 19). The other side can
then be milled to precise, final dimensions on a
planer thickness resulting in aboard that is smooth
and flat on both sides and each side parallel to the
other.
–If the wood to be jointed is cupped or bowed,
place the concave side down, and take light cuts
until the surface is flat.
–Never surface pieces shorter than 12 inches or
thinner than 3/8 inch without the use of a special
work holding fixture.
–Never surface pieces thinner than 3 inches
without the use of a push block.
–Cuts of approximately 1/16” or less at a time are
Recommended, which provides for better control
over the material being surfaced. More passes can
then be made to reach the desired depth.
–Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the
grain. This may result in chipped and splintered
edges. Feed with the grain to obtain a smooth
surface.
Edge Jointing
Jointing (or edging) is the process of creating a
finished, flat edge surface that is suitable for
joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step prior
to ripping stock to width on a table saw.
–Never edge a board that is less than 3 inches
wide, less than 1/4 inch thick, or 12 inches long,
without using a push block.
–When edging wood wider than 3 inches lap the
fingers over the top of the wood, extending them
back over the fence such that they will act as a
stop for the hands in the event of a kickback.
CAUTION! When workpiece is twice the length of
the jointer infeed or outfeed table use an infeed or
outfeed support.
To edge:
–Make sure the fence is set to 90°. Double check it
with a square.
–Inspect stock for soundness and grain direction
(Refer to section Direction of Grain).
–If the board is bowed (curved), place the concave
edge down on the infeed table.
–Set the infeed table for a cut of approximately
1/16 inch.
–Hold the stock firmly against the fence and table,
feed the stock slowly and evenly over the cutter
head.
Bevelling
Bevelling an edge is the same operation as edge
jointing, except that the fence is tilted to a specified
angle.
–Make certain material being bevelled is over 12
inches long, more than 1/4 inch thick and 1 inch
wide.
To bevel:
–Use a bevel gauge to determine the desired angle.
Then set the fence to the same angle.
–Inspect stock for soundness and grain direction.
–Set the infeed table for a cut of approximately
1/16.
–If the board is bowed (curved), place the concave
edge down on the infeed table.
–Feed the stock through the cutter head, making
sure the face of the stock is completely flat against
the fence and the edge is making solid contact on
the infeed and out feed tables.
For wood wider than 3 inches –hold with fingers
close together near the top of the stock, lapping over
the board and extending over the fence.
For wood less than 3 inches wide use bevelled push
blocks and apply pressure toward the fence.
Keep fingers near top of push block.
Several passes may be required to achieve full bevel.

PT1000 11
OPERATION
Planer Operations
Depth of Cut
Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to
a desired thickness while creating a level surface
parallel to the opposite side of the board. Board
thickness that the planer will produce is indicated
by the scale. Pre‐set the planer to the desired
thickness of the finished workpiece using the
gauge. The depth‐of‐cut is adjusted by raising or
lowering the planer table using the adjustable
handle.
–The quality of thickness planing depends on the
operator’s judgment about the depth of cut.
–The depth of cut depends on the width,
hardness, dampness, grain direction and grain
structure of the wood.
–The maximum thickness of wood that can be
removed in one pass is 5/64” for planning
operations on workpieces up to 5‐1/2” wide. The
workpiece must be positioned away from the
centre tab on the roller case to cut 1/8”.
–The maximum thickness of wood that can be
removed in one pass is 1/16” for planning
operations on workpieces from 5‐1/2” up to 10”
wide.
–For optimum planing performance, the depth of
cut should be less than 1/16”.
–The board should be planed with shallow cuts
until the work has a level side. Once a level surface
has been created, flip the lumber and create
parallel sides.
–Plane alternate sides until the desired thickness
is obtained. When half of the total cut has been
taken from each side, the board will have a
uniform, moisture content and additional drying
will not cause it to warp.
–The depth of cut should be shallower when the
workpiece is wider.
–When planing hardwood, take light cuts or plane
the wood in thin widths.
–Make a test cut with a test piece and verify the
thickness produced.
–Check the accuracy of the test cut before
working on the finished product.
Precautions
–A thickness planer is a precision woodworking
machine and should be used on quality lumber only.
–Do not plane dirty boards; dirt and small stones are
abrasive and will wear out the blade.
–Remove nails and staples. Use the planer to cut
wood only.
–Avoid knots. Heavily cross‐grained wood makes
knots hard. Knots can come lose and jam the blade.
Any article that encounters planer blades may be
forcibly ejected from the planer creating a risk of
injury.
Preparing the Work
–A thickness planer works best when the lumber has
at least one flat surface. Use a jointer to create a flat
surface.
–Twisted or severely warped boards can jam the
planer. Rip the lumber in half to reduce the
magnitude of the warp.
–The work should be fed into the planer in the same
direction as the grain of the wood.
Sometimes the wood will change directions in the
middle of the board. In such cases, if possible, cut
the board in the middle so the grain direction is
correct.
CAUTION! Do not plane a board that is less than 6”
long. It is recommended that when planing short
boards you butt the mend to end to avoid kickback
and reduce snipe.
Feeding the Work
The planer is supplied with planer blades mounted in
the cutter head. Feed direction is left to right.
The planer feed is automatic; it will vary slightly
depending on the type of wood.

PT1000 12
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
–The operator is responsible for aligning the work
so it will feed properly.
–Raise or lower the table to get the depth of cut
desired.
–The surface that the planer produces will be
smoother if a shallower depth of cut is used.
–Stand on the front side of the machine.
–Boards longer than 24” should have additional
support from free standing material stands.
Planing:
–Position the workpiece with the face to be
planed on top.
Note: Feed direction is left to right.
–Turn the planer on.
–Rest the board end on the infeed side of the
table and direct the board into the planer.
–Slide the workpiece into the infeed side of the
table and direct the board into the planer.
–Slide the workpiece into the infeed side of the
planer until the infeed roller begins to advance the
workpiece.
–Let go of the workpiece and allow the automatic
feed to advance the workpiece.
–Do not push or pull on the workpiece. Move to
the rear and receive the planed lumber by grasping
It in the same manner that it was fed.
CAUTION! To avoid the risk of injury due to
kickbacks, do not stand directly in line with the
front or rear of the planer.
–Do not grasp any portion of the board that has
not gone past the infeed roller.
Maintenance and Service
–Be aware that the machine should always have
the on/off switch (6) set to the off position and be
unplugged from any outlet before any inspection,
adjustments, maintenance or cleaning is performed.
–Before each use inspect the general condition
of the machine. Check for loose screws,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or
broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, loose router
bit, and any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
–Each day remove all sawdust and debris from the
machine with a soft brush, cloth or vacuum. Also
lubricate all moving parts with a premium
lightweight machine oil. Do not use solvents or
caustic agents to clean the machine.
Cutter head Knife Calibration
–Rest the tool on the machine as shown in the
image below. This will check one of two things:
1. If the two blades are both on the same
circumference of cut.
2. To check if each blade is level.
Cutter head Knife Adjustment
WARNING! Cutter head knives are dangerously
sharp! Use extreme caution when inspecting,
removing, sharpening or replacing knives into the
cutter head. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury! Determining if adjustment is necessary:
–Disconnect machine from the power source.
–Remove the cutter head guard.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
PT1000 13
Note: To rotate the cutter head, the cutter head
pulley must be turned. This requires removing the
panel on the front of the cabinet for access.
–Rotate the cutter head (E) until one knife is in
the 12 o’clock position. The 12 o’clock position is
the highest point a blade will reach in the cutting
arc.
–Place the knife setting gauge (J) on the outfeed
table (F). One end of the gauge should be
positioned over the cutting knife (C) towards the
near the end of the blade (G).
CAUTION! Use care when handling the knife
setting gauge near the blades to prevent damage.
Note the position of the knife blade with respect to
the gauge, then move the gauge to the other side
of the table towards the fence (H) and again note
the position of the knife blade with respect to the
gauge.
The blade must be at the same height at each end
and must also be at the same height as the outfeed
table (bottom of gauge). If this is not the case,
adjustment is required as follows:
Adjustment procedure
–Slightly loosen seven gib lock screws (A) by
turning into the lock bar (B), clockwise as viewed
from the infeed table (K).
–Adjust the blade height by turning jack screws (D)
upon which the blade rests. To lower the blade, turn
the screw clockwise. To raise the blade, turn the
screw anti‐ clockwise.
–When the blade is at the proper height, alternately
tighten the seven gib lock screws (A).
Repeat previous steps to adjust the remaining blade.
Note: The most common cause for unsatisfactory
cutting performance is improperly set knives.
Many aftermarket devices are available to further
assist in the accurate setting of knives.
Replacing Cutter Knives
WARNING! Disconnect machine from power source
before making any adjustments. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury.
–Disconnect machine from the power source.
–Remove the cutter head guard.
WARNING! Cutter head knives are dangerously
sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting,
removing, sharpening, or replacing knives into the
cutter head. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.

PT1000 14
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
–Turn all seven gib lock screws (A) into the lock
bar (B) by turning in a clockwise direction as
viewed from the infeed table (K).
–Carefully remove the cutter knife (C) and lock
bar
(B).
–Repeat for the remaining knife.
–Thoroughly clean all surfaces of the cutter head,
knife slots and lock bars of any dust or debris.
–Insert the first replacement knife (C) into the
knife slot, making sure it faces the proper
direction.
–Insert the lock bar (B) and tighten just enough to
hold in place.
–Repeat for other the remaining blade.
–Then adjust blades as described previously.
Blade Care
WARNING! Blades are extremely sharp! Use
caution when cleaning or changing. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
–The condition of the blades will affect the
precision of the cut. Observe the quality of the cut
that the machine produces to check the condition
of the blades.
–Dull blades will tear, rather than cut the wood
fibres and produce a fuzzy appearance.
–Raised grain will occur when dull blades pound
on wood that has varying density. A raised edge
will also be produced where the blades have been
nicked.
–When gum and pitch collect on the blades,
carefully remove with a strong solvent. Failure tore
move gum and pitch build up may result in
excessive friction, blade wear and overheating.
Sharpening the Knives
WARNING! Blades are extremely sharp! Use caution
when handling. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury!
–Disconnect the machine from the power source.
–Remove the blade guard and belt cover.
–To protect the infeed table from scratches,
partially cover the sharpening stone with paper
(Figure 24).
–Lay the stone on the infeed table.
–Lower the infeed table and turn the cutter head by
turning the cutter head pulley. The infeed table
height is set properly when the stone’s surface is
flush with the knife bevel.
–Keep the cutter head from rotating by grasping the
cutter head pulley while sliding the stone back and
forth across the table.
–Take the same amount of passes for all two blades.
When the blades have been sharpened and still are
not cutting efficiently, trying to touch up the blades
further will only cause the formation of a second
bevelled edge. When this starts to happen, it is time
to replace blades with another set. It is
recommended to keep a second set of blades on
hand so that they may be installed while the first set
is being professionally sharpened.
Lubrication
–Use a good grade of light grease on the steel
adjusting screws located in the raising and lowering
mechanisms of the worktables.
The cutter head ball bearings are lifetime lubricated
and need no further care

LUMBERJACK GUARANTEE
2. Claims Procedure
2.1 In the first instance please contact the
Authorised Dealer who supplied the product to
you. In our experience many initial problems
with machines that are thought to be fault due
to faulty parts are actually solved by correct
setting up or adjustment of the machine. A good
Authorised Dealer should be able to resolve the
majority of these issues much more quickly than
processing a claim under the guarantee. If a
return is requested by the Authorised Dealer or
Lumberjack, you will be provided with a Returns
Material Authorisation Number which must be
clearly stated on the returned package, and any
accompanying correspondence. Failure to
provide a Returns Material Authorisation
Number may result in item being refused
delivery.

potential claim under the guarantee must be
reported to the Authorised Dealer from which it

query, any claims made under this guarantee
should be made directly to Lumberjack. The

the date and place of purchase, giving a brief
explanation of the problem which has led to the
claim.

claim reaches Lumberjack on the last day of this
