is ultimately the responsibility of the individual machine operator. As with any piece of machinery,
the operator must exercise caution, patience, and common sense to safely run the machine.
Before operating this product, become familiar with the safety rules in the following sections.
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
2. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations,
or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
4. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
5. USE RIGHT TOOL Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
6. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
7. 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.
8. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
9. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
10. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
11. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.
12. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
13. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. 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 moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
14. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
15. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
16. Wear eye protection.

17. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
18. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
19. DON'T FORCE TOOL It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
20. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
21. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:
CAUTION: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor or moderate
injury and/or possible machine damage)

HELICAL CUTTERHEAD
Knife inserts are dangerously sharp. Use extreme
caution when inspecting, removing, or replacing
knife inserts.
The knife inserts on the Jointer are four-sided.
When dull, simply remove each insert, rotate it 90°
for a fresh edge, and re-install it. No further
adjustment is necessary. Use the two provided torx
wrench to remove the knife insert screw. Use one
of the torx wrenches to help hold the cutterhead in
Position, and the other to remove the screw. See
Fig. 7. It is advisable to rotate all inserts at the
same time to maintain consistent cutting. However,
if one or more knife inserts develops a nick, rotate
only those inserts that are affected.
Each knife insert has an etched reference mark so
you can keep track of the rotations.
IMPORTANT: When removing or rotating inserts,
clean saw dust from the screw, the insert, and the
cutterhead platform. Dust accumulation between
these elements can prevent the insert from seating
properly, and may affect the quality of the cut.
Before installing each screw, lightly coat the screw
threads with machine oil and wipe off any excess.
Securely tighten each screw which holds the knife
inserts before operating the jointer!
Make sure all knife insert screws are tightened
securely. Loose inserts can be propelled at high
speed from a rotating cutterhead, causing injury.
from a rotating cutterhead, causing injury.

DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Turn the handwheel (B) on a clockwise or counter-
clockwise direction to the proper height, Fig. 10.
The depth of cυt on your planer is controlled by
raising or lowering the head assembly shown in
Fig. 10，which contains the cutterhead and feed
roller. The head assembly raises and lowers on
four precision steel ground columns. To adjust for
depth of cut, simply loosen the two head assembly
lock knobs (A), and turn the handwheel (B).
After the desired depth of cut is obtained, tighten
the lock knobs (A) combination inch/metric scale (C)
is conveniently located on the right front column for
easy reading. The maximum depth of cυt on full
width planning is 1/8" (3.175mm) .
A limiter (D) is provided on single phase machines
to limit the depth of cut. If the workpiece to be cut is
less than 6", the allowable maximυm depth of cut
is no more than 6mm in one pass, Fig. 10
Warning: Never over the cutting limited,
15“~6”width........... 3mm
Under 6”width........ 6mm
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
Anti-kickback fingers (E) are provided on your
planer to prevent kickback. These fingers operate
by gravity and it is necessary to inspect them
occasionally to make sure they are free of gum and
pitch so that they move independently and operate
correctly, Fig.11
FEED ROLL SPEED CONTROL
Your machine is equipped with a spiral, serrated
infeed roller and a solid steel outfeed roller.
When the feed rollers are engaged, they turn and
feed the stock. The feed rollers slow automatically
when the machine is under heavy load for best
planning under all conditions. The feed rollers are
driven by a chain and sprocket drive, which takes
power directly from the cutterhead through the oil
bath gearbox. To engage the feed rollers, pull out
the lever (F), Fig. 12. To disengage the feed rollers
push in the lever. To change the feed speed, push
in the lever for 20 FPM or pull the lever out for 16
FPM. Set the lever in the neutral position for zero
speed.
Warning: The feed speed should only be changed
when the machine is running.(Fig.12)

ADJUSTMENT
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 hardwood. This gauge block
can be made by the dimensions showing in Fig. 13
Warning: WHEN CHECKING ADJUSTMENTS，
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE PLANER IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
To adjust the belt tension on your machine，
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Remove pulley cover from the machine.
3. Place a board (A) underneath the motor base
(B, Fig. 14)
4. Loosen the two bolts (C, Fig. 15) and
micrometric adjustment screw (D) by shifting it
to the highest position of the slot (E), and pry up
on the motor base to an approximate belt
tension. Then make micrometric adjustment of
belt tension. At this time, loosen the micrometric
adjustment screw to the highest position of the
slot (E). Adjust belt tension until correct belt
tension is obtained.
5. Correct tension is obtained when there is
approximately 1/4" deflection in the center span
of the belts using light finger pressure.
6. Then tighten two bolts and remount pulley cover.

ADJUSTING FEED ROLL SPRING TENSION
The infeed roller (A) and outfeed roller (B) are
those parts of your planer that feed the stock while
it is being planned. The feed rolls (A) and (B) are
under spring tension and this tension must be
sufficient to feed the stock uniformly through the
planer without slipping, but should not be so tight
that it causes damage to the board. The tension
should be equal at both ends of each roller. (Fig.
16)
To adjust the spring tension of the infeed roller,
turn screw (C) and also the screw shown on the
opposite end of planer.
To adjust the spring tension of the outfeed roller,
turn screw (D) and also the screw on the opposite
end of the planer.(Fig. 17)
ADJUSTING TABLE ROLLS
This planer is supplied with two table rollers (E, Fig.
18) which aid in feeding 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, however，when planning rough
stock the table rollers should be set HIGH and
when planning smooth stock the table rollers
should be set at LOW. In general，the suggested
table roll height is at least 0.5mm over the table
surface.
The table rollers on your planer are set for average
planning and are parallel to the table surface. If you
desire to adjust the rolls higher or lower，proceed
as follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Lay a straight edge (G, Fig. 19) across both
rollers. Loosen the screw (F, Fig. 18), then turn
the two eccentric shafts (H, Fig. 18) to raise or
lower table rollers. Table rolls must also be
adjusted on the opposite end of the table in the
same manner. The table rollers must always be
set parallel to the table.
Warning: Disconnect the machine before
performing any adjustments. Failure to comply
can cause serious injuries to the machine and
the work operator.
