GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(For All Tools)
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manualcarefully. Learnthe
tools applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards
peculiar to
it.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keysand adjusting wrenches are removed from tool beforeturning
it on.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. DON‘T USE INDANGEROUSENVIRONMENT. Don’t usepowertools in damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work
area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
8. DON’T FORCETOOL. It willdothejob better andsafer atthe ratefor which
it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed.
IO. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Wear no loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught
in moving parts. Nonslip
footwear isrecommended. Wear protective hair coveringtocontain longhair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Useclamps or a vise toholdwork when practical. It‘s safer
than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricatingandchanging acces-
sories.
15. DISCONNECTTOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such as
blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
2

16. EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier
the cord.

17. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is
in off position before plugging in.
18. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for
recommendedaccessories.The use of improperaccessories may cause risk
of injury to persons.
19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool istipped or
if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
20. CHECK DAMAGEDPARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will
operate properly and perform its intended function
- check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of movingparts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect itsoperation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced.
21. DIRECTIONOF FEED. Feedwork into a blade or cutter against the direction
of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
22. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't
leave tool until
it comes to a complete stop.
23. PROPER GROUNDING. This toolshould be groundedwhile in use to protect
the operator from electric shock.
24. POLARIZED PLUGS.To reducethe risk of electric shock, thisequipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarizedoutlet only one way.
If the plugdoes notfitfully inthe outlet, reverse
the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connectingthe tool toa power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source withvoltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result
in SERIOUS INJURYtothe user - as well as damage to
the tool.
If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Dimensionaladjustment
Raise the table by turning the crank handle
clockwise until the indicator plate points
to the scale graduation indicating the de-
sired finished dimension. One full turn of
the crank handle moves the table
2 mm
(3/32")
up or down. The scale has inch
graduations on
its right side and metric
graduationson
its left side.
Adjusting the depth
of cut
The maximum depth
of cut differs depend-
ing upon the width of workpiece being cut.
Refer to the table
at right. When you wish
to cut deeper than the amount specified in
the table, make two or more passes to
avoid overloading the motor, jamming the
workpiece and subsequent damage.
To adjust the depth of cut, proceed
as
follows.
Insert the workpiece flat on the infeed
table top.
Raise the table by turning the
crank handle clockwise. The depth gauge
will rise and the amount of gauge rise indi-
cates the depth of cut.

sion, additional play in the screw may result. This may cause an undesired finished
dimension, gouging
or sniping of the workpiece.
*Always place the workpiece flat on the infeed table top when predetermining the depth
of cut. Otherwise,the predetermineddepth of cut will differ from actual depth of cut.

Operation
Determine the depth of cut as described
before. Insert the workpiece flat on the
table top. When cutting
a long or heavy
workpiece, lift up
its end slightly at the
start and the end of the cut to avoid goug-
ing or sniping
at the extreme ends of the

The extension support table is convenient
for cutting long workpieces. Install
it on
the outfeed table and semi-tightenthe four
hex bolts. Extend the
legs and hook the
arms over the screw using the hook
(A).
Then tighten the screws securely. Adjust
the table height using the knobs
so that the
extension support table
is level with the
outfeed table. Then tighten the wing nuts
securely. After adjusting the table height,
tighten the four hex bolts securely.
When moving the tool, fold the extension
support table
as follows.
First fold the extension support table
as

Operation
Placement of hands during feeding
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly down on the infeed table
and firmly against the fence. The right hand pushes the workpiece toward the blades.
After the cut has started, the new surface restsfirmly on the outfeed table. The left hand
should press down on this part well away from directly over the cutterhead,
at the same
time maintaining flush contact with the fence. The right hand presses the workpiece
forward and before the right hand passes over the cutterhead
it should be cautiously
moved to the workpiece on the outfeed table.
Jointing an edge
Set the fence square with the table. Hold
the best fece of the workpiece firmly
against the fence throughout the feed. Side
pressure
is required to keep the workpiece
in flush contact with the fence. This
is very
importantwhen jointing wide workpiece.
Surfacing
For surfacing, press the workpiece down
against the outfeed table. Surfacing or
planing
a wide work surface on a warped or
twisted board
is very difficult to accom-
plish. Hold-down/push blocks be useful in
all cases. They should always be used when
surfacingworkpiecesthinner than
76.2 mm
(3”). If the workpiece is warped m , joint
the dished (hollow, concave)surface first,
whenever possible. Small depths of cut
only should be taken whenever surfacing
warpedworkpieces.

Beveling
To cut a bevel, set the fence at the required angle and runthe workpiece across the blades
while keeping
it firmly against the fence and tables. Carefully maintain flush, steady con-
tact with the fence while makingthe cut.
REPLACING THE PLANER BLADES
Dull blades can cause a roughfinish, an overloadof the motor and dangerous kickback of
the workpiece. Sharpen or replace dull blades immediately. This tool
is equipped with
either throw-away blades or standard blades. The method of replacing the bladesdiffers
dependinguponthe type of the blade. Follow the correct method for your tool.
CAUTION
:
*Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unpluggedbefore removingor installing
the blades.
0 Handle the blades very carefully when removing or installingthe bladesto preventcuts
or injury from the bladesand to prevent damage to the blades. They are razor-sharp.
0 Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter adheringtothe drum or blades before
installing the blades.
0 Use blades of the same dimensionsand weight, or drum oscillation/vibration will result,
causingpoor cuttingaction and, eventually, tool breakdown.
Replace both blades at the same time.
.The throw-away blade has
a cutting edge on both sides. When one cuttingedge becomes
dull, you can use the other cutting edge. Always remove resin and dirt sticking to the
reverse
side of the blade before using the other cuttingedge. This blademust not be re-
sharpened. When both cutting edges become dull, the blade should be carefully thrown
away.
