CHECK AND ADJUST THE FENCE ANGLE
Before adjusting the fence, makesure thepower isturn off.
Using a combination square, check the 0º angle. If necessary adjust the 0º stop and set angle pointer at
0º.
Using the combination square, check the 45ºangle between the fence and table. If necessary, adjust the
45ºstop .
ATTENTION: The lowest line of the fence should always sit onthe out-feed table.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Jointing is asurfacing operation in which asmall amount of wood is removed from the edges and faces
of boards to get smooth, straight andevensurfaces such that the two edges that run across the
planning blocks would fit together perfectly, forming a seamless joint.
Planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel to the
opposite size of the board. Depth of cutis the term used toindicate how deep the blades will cutinto the
workpiece.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OFCUT
The depth of cut isadjusted by the relative positioning of the in-feed table with respect to the
cutterhead. In-feed table can be raised or lowered using the hand wheel.
Turning the hand wheel anticlockwise will lower the in-feed table causing more wood to be removed
from workpiece.
Turning the hand wheel clockwise will raise the in-feed table causing less wood to be removed
from workpiece.
Do not make jointing or planing cuts deeper than 1/8″.
ADJUST THE FENCE POSITION
Before adjusting the fence, make sure the power is turned off.
Loosen the fence tilting handle. Adjust the fence to desired angle and re-tighten the handle.
Loosen the fence sliding handle. Slide the fence to desired position and re-tighten the
handle. ATTENTION: The lowest line of the fence should always sitonthe out-feed table.

ADJUSTING BLADE HEIGHT
CAUTION: Make sure the machine is unplugged before proceeding with checking blades.
The blades have been adjusted at the factory to assure proper operation and should require no adjustment.
However, shipping and handling may have caused misalignment. For accurate cutting, the blades must be
as high as the out feed table when positioned at the highest point.
To check blade height:
Loosen the bridge cover locking knob, pull out the bridge cover.
Turn the cutter head so that one of the blades is at the highest position.
CAUTION: The cutter head blades are extremely sharp. Do not let your fingers contact the cutting edge at
any time.
Place a straightedge over the out feed table and the blade
The straight edge must touch evenly on the out feed table at both ends of the blade.
Rotate the cutter head by hand. The blades should just touch the straightedge. Ifa blade is too low or too
high at either end, adjust blade height using the jack screws.
AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES
This Planer is a precision woodworking machine and should only be used on quality lumber. Using bad lumber
could result in a poor quality cut on subsequent pieces.
For proper operation, it is preferable to use the Planer with adust collecting system attached to the chip port in
the rear of the jointer. Attaching a dust collecting system isespecially required when taking deeper cuts to
prevent clogging of wood chips
Do not use dirty boards. Dirt and stones are abrasive and will wear the blade quickly.
Remove nails and staples from the wood before planing.
Avoid knots. Heavy cross-grain makes knots hardand they can come loose and jam the planer.
Assess value of badly warped boards. Operator can be tempted to use too deep of cut to square boards
quickly.Use several passes to maintain a level surface so you do not wear or jam the blades.
FEEDING WORKPIECE
Feed rate refers to the rate at which wood is passed over the blades, an even feed will produce a uniformed job.
To feed work piece:
Adjust the bridge cover to desired position, and tighten the knob.
Hold the work piece firmly down on the feed table and against the fence.
Feed the work piece at an even rate over the cutterhead, any hesitation or stopping will cause a “step” to be
cut in the work piece.
Asyour trailing hand passes over the cutter head remove your leading hand and place behind your trailing hand
and repeat until the entire length of work piece has been cut.

Feed with the grain whenever possible, if the nature of the work piece is such that it must be fed against the
grain take very light cuts and feed slowly. When using long work pieces use extra supports at both end of the
planer.
For your safety,use the push block and push stick to hold and feed the workpiece when jointing wood
that isnarrower than 75mm (3″), planing wood thinner than 75mm (3″).
BEVELING AND CHAMFERING
The fence on the jointer/planer isadjustable from 0° to
45°. Adjust the fence to the desired angle and tighten
the fence tilting handle.
Beveling refers to cutting the entire edge of a board at
an angle. Beveling may require several passes due to
the depth of cut needed.
Chamfering refers to removing only the corner of the
edge of a board. Normally a chamfer ismade on one
pass.
