GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ALL GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TOOLS:
In the event of a malfunctionor
breakdown, grounding provides a pathof least resistance for electric current to
reducethe risk of electric shock. This toolisequipped
with an electric cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged intoa matchingoutlet that isproperly installed and grounded
in accord-
ance with all local codes and ordinances.
Donot modifythe
plug provided -if it will not fit theoutlet, havethe proper out-
let installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a 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 witha qualified electrician or serviceman
if the grounding instructionsare
not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated
in FigureA. The toolhas a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated
in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illus-
trated
in Figure B and C, may be usedtoconnectthis plugtoa 2-pole receptacle
as shown
in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet isnotavailable. The temporary
adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc. extending from the
adapter must be connectedtoa permanent groundsuchas a properly grounded
outlet box.

HOW TO USE
AUTO-PLANER
1. Adjusting depth of cut
The maximum depth of cut changes in
terms of the cutting speed and the
width of the workpiece to
be cut. See
Fig. 1.
Insert the workpiece flush with the in-
feed table top
so that the front end of
the workpiece reaches
at least 20 to
30 mm (3/4 to 1-1/8") beyond the
depth gauge. Turn the crank handle and
align the depth gauge with
a graduation
on the scale plate. This graduation
indicatesthe depth of cut.

OPE RATION
1. Auto-Planer
Determinethe depth of cut and the cutting speed in terms of the width of the work-
piece you intendtocut. Insertthe workpiece flush with the table top. When cutting
the long and heavy workpiece, liftupthe end of the workpiece slightly
at the start and
the end of cutting to avoidgouging or sniping
at the extreme ends of the workpiece.
Two rollers are provided on top of the
chip cover to enable quick, efficient
return of the workpiece to the infeed
table side. This
is especially convenient
with two operators.
CAUTION
:
Stop the tool when the workpiece is
stalled. Keeping the tool running with a
stalled workpiece causes the abnormal
wearing of the feed rollers.
Return (for another pass)

Placementof hands duringfeeding
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 toward the blade. After the
cut
is under way, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand
should press down on this part,
at the same time maintaining flat contact with the
fence. The right hand presses the workpiece forward and beforethe right hand passes
over the cutterhead
it shouldbe moved to the workpiece on the outfeedtable.

VARIOUS ADJUSTMENTS
1. Adjusting infeed/outfeedrollers(Auto-planer)
NOTE
:
The planer infeed and outfeed rollers are factory adjusted. If you notice the adjust-
ment
is off, kindly do as follows.
Use the wrench to loosen the installation nuts slightly. Turn the adjusting screw to
obtain
a level of from 0.1 to 0.3 mm above the table surface.
It is relatively simple to make the setting so that a postcard can slip in and out be-
tween the roller and the leveler. After adjusting rollers, be sure to tighten installation
nutssecurely.
A roller that protrudes too much will cause gouging or shiping in the workpiece and
rough surfaces.
2. Extension roller adjustment
Gently loosen the hex bolts,
set a rule
or yardstick on the table surface and ad-
just
so that roller arm is slightly higher
than the table. Tighten the hex bolts
securely
so that the roller arm surface is
at 90" to the column.
