should be made by qualified personnel only.
WARNING
!
This machine MUST BE GROUNDED
while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
WARNING
!
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUNDING
provides the path of least resistance for electric current and
reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug MUST be
plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
If a plug is provided with your machine DO NOT modify the
plug. If it will not fit your electrical receptacle, have a
qualified electrician install the proper connections to meet
all electrical codes. All connections must also adhere to all
of OSHA mandates.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding
conductor.
DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you
do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, use the proper gauge of extension
cord. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your machine will draw.
WARNING
!
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter of
the extension cord is. If in doubt of the proper size of an
extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in a loss of power and overheating.
WARNING
!
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is
marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate
that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
ake certain the extension cord is properly sized, and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a worn or
damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired by
a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from children, sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
USE ONLY a 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole
receptacle that accepts the machine’s
plug.The third prong is used to ground the
tool and provide protection against
accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove the third.

ADJUSTMENTS
DEPTH OF CUT
The distance of upward or downward movement is
controlled by handwheel.
One evolution: .059” (exactly 1,5 mm).
For more accuracy, always finaladjust with upward
movement.
NOTE: before moving table upward or down-
ward, loosen the lock nuts. After choosing the
proper position, tighten the lock nuts.
NOTE: Your planer was carefully adjusted at
the factory. However any inaccuracies due to
rough handling in transit can easily be cor-
rected by following these instructions. In order
to check the adjusments you will need a
straight edge, feeler gage and a homemade
gage block made of hardwood as shown.
TABLE ROLLERS
The machine is supplied with two rollers (A) which aid in
feeding the 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 planing rough stock, the
table rollers should be set at high position. When planing
smooth stock the table rollers should be set at low
position.
In the case you need to minimise the snipe at the
beginning or the end of the board, rollers table should be
set at the low position.
NOTE: the raising range between .003” - .006” when
raising the roller higher above table as shown.
The table rollers on your planer are set for average
planing and are parallel to the table surface.
NOTE:
Be sure heigh of front and rear rollers are
same.
The table rollers must alway be set parallel to
the table.

WARNING
!
Make certain that machine are disconnected
from the power source.
Be careful, knifes are very sharps. Wear
gloves!!
4. Check the locking screws, if the threads appear worn
or stripped or if the heads are becoming rounded,
replace them.
5. Clean the housing and the locking bar with a
degreaser.
To obtain the best adjustment results of the
knives, it is imperative to number the knives
and grooves on the cutterhead. With a perma-
nent felt pen, across the groove and over the
knife, draw 1 line for #1 knife, 2 lines for #2
knife, 3 for the #3 knife and 4 for the #4 knife.
This will enable you to go back and forth from
one knife to the other to make fine adjustments
and be certain that all knives were tightened
properly.
1. Remove the six screws and remove the upper cover.
2. Blow up chips and dust.
3. Loosen the knife locking bar by turning the locking
screws. Take care, the inner two springs will pop out
when removing the knife and knife locking bar.
6. Replace the locking bar and the knife in the housing
and place the knife gage on the cutter head. Center it
on the edge of the knife. The knife should comes in
contact with the center protrusion of the gage.
7. aintain gage knife down in place with one hand and
with the other begin to tighten the screws of the locking
bar. Start from the end screws, then the center screws
until the knife is securely held in the cutterhead.
Gradually increase the tightening.
8. Repeat previous steps for the other knifes.

TABLE PARALLEL TO CUTTERHEAD
The working table is set parallel to the cutterhead at the
factory and no further adjusment should be necessary. If
your machine is planing taper, first check to see if the
knives are set properly in the cutterhead.
Then check to see if the working table is set parallel to the
cutterhead
1. Place the gage block (not included) on the working
table directly under front edge of head casting. ake slight
contact by
gently raising table.
2. ove the gage block to the opposite end of the
working table and adjust it in the same manner.
CONCLUSION: The distance from the working table to
the edge of the head casting should be the same.
If not, contact a qualified technician.
WARNING
!
Make certain that machine are disconnected
from the power source.
FEEDING ROLLERS
The infeed roller and outfeed roller are those parts of the
planer that feed the stock while it is being planed. The in-
feed roller and outfeed roller are under spring tension and
this tension must be sufficient to feed the stock uniformly
through the planer without splitting but should not be so
tight that it causes damage to the board. The tension
should be equal at both ends of each roller.
To adjust the spring tension of the infeed/outfeed roller,
turn the screw and also the screw on the opposite end of
the infeed/outfeed roller with an Allen key.
If the Rollers tension is too heavey it will result in a
important snipe at the end or the beginning of the board.
Double check knife adjustement and especially
all 24 screws for tightness.

ANTI-KICK BACK FINGERS
They are provided on your planer to prevent kickback.
These fingers operate by gravity and its necessary to
inspect them occasionally to make sure they are free of
gum and pitch so that they move independently and
operate correctly.
RELATION BETWEEN FEEDING
ROLLERS, CHIPBREAKER, PRESSURE
BAR AND CUTTING CIRCLE
The infeed roller, chipbreaker, pressure bar and outfeed
roller are adjusted at the factory. The infeed roller and the
chipbreaker to be set .004” (0,1 mm) below the cutting
circle, the pressure bar to be set .008” (0,2 mm) below the
cutting circle, as shown on the draw. If an adjustment to
the infeed roller, chipbreaker, pressure bar or outfeed
roller is necessary, contact a qualified technician.
1. To control the relation between cutterhead and out-
feed roller, place the gage block on the table directly
underneath the cutterhead. Using a .02” (0,5 mm) feeler
gage placed on top of the gage block, raise the working
table until the knife just touches the feeler gage when the
knife is at its lowest point. Do not move the working table
any further until the ooufeed roller is adjusted.
2. ove the gage block under the end of the outfeed
roller. The bottom of the outfeed roller should just touch
the top of the gage block.
3. Check and adjust opposite end of the outfeed roller
in the same manner.
NOTE: Be sure the knives are adjusted prop-
erly as previously explained.
WARNING
!
Make certain that machine are disconnected
from the power source.
Be careful, knifes are very sharps. Wear
gloves!!
FEED 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 to feed the stock. The feed rollers
slow automatically when the machine is under heavy load
for best planing under all conditions. The feed rollers are
driven by chains and sprockets, which takes power
directly from the cutterhead through the oil bath gear box.
There are two feed speeds in the gear box by using the
shift lever to pull out or push in, and the feed speed range.
Speed rate of feed roll is transmitted by shaft geards in
gear box.
There are 3 kinds of operations of gearbox by using shaft
handle to pull or push.
