GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to protect the operator from electric
shock. 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 local
and state. ALL connections must also adhere to NEC and OSHA mandates.
WARNING! 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! Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded properly or if the
electrical configuration does not comply with local and state electrical codes.
MAKE CERTAIN the machine is disconnected from power source before starting any electrical work.
MAKE SURE the circuit breaker does not exceed the rating of the plug and receptacle.
The motor supplied with your machine is a 115 volt, 60 hertz, single phase motor. Never connect the
green or ground wire to a live terminal. A machine with a 115 volt plug should only be connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
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.
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.
CAUTION! 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. 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.

TABLE MAGNETS
The table magnets keep the tables from falling during transport of the planer. The 2 long table magnets
should be attached into the holes on the front of the cutterhead assembly and tightened with the
provided nut.
The 2 short table magnets are optional. They can be attached into the inner holes on the rear of the
cutterhead assembly only when the dust port is removed.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING! MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE ANY ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE.
WARNING! BE VERY CAREFUL WORKING NEAR THE CUTTERHEAD INSERT TIPS. THEY ARE
EXTREMELY SHARP AND CAN CAUSE INJURY.
LEVELING INFEED AND OUTFEED TABLES
The infeed and outfeed tables must be parallel and level with the planer center wear plate located
under the cutterhead assembly. These have been preset at the factory but may need readjustment.
Using the crank handle, raise the cutterhead assembly to its highest position. Being extremely careful
of the cutterhead insert tips, lay a metal straight edge on the infeed table and center wear plate at both
left and right sides of the table. If the table is not parallel with the wear plate, you can loosen the table
side mounting screws (3 on each side) to get the table parallel and then retighten the screws. Repeat
this procedure for the outfeed table.
13
ADJUSTMENTS
（
cont.
）
Next, using the metal straight edge in the same 2 locations as above, check to see if the table is
coplanar with the wear plate. It should be one continuous flat surface from the outside edge of the table
going across the wear plate. If an adjustment is necessary, raise the table, then loosen the lock nuts
and adjust the hex head screws under each side of the table until the infeed table is coplanar with the
wear plate. A 10mm wrench or small adjustable wrench is required but not included. Clockwise will
raise the table and counterclockwise will lower the table. This adjustment will raise or lower (slightly tilt)
the outer leading edge of the table, whichever is needed. Once coplanar, tighten the lock nuts. See
picture below
Recheck to make sure the infeed table is coplanar and parallel to the wear plate and make any
necessary re-adjustments. Repeat this process for leveling the outfeed table.
14
ADJUSTMENTS
（
cont.
）
With the infeed table in the down position, loosen the 2 silver knurled extension lock knobs on both
sides of the table and pull the extensions to their outward position.
Lay your metal straight edge on one side of the infeed table and out over the extension rod.
If the end of the extension rod is not level with the table, loosen the lock nut and using the supplied
2mm hex wrench, turn the extension adjustment set screw located under the table clockwise to
raise the extension, or counterclockwise to lower it, and tighten the lock nut
Move the straight edge to the other side of the table and extension and repeat this procedure.
Once you have the extension parallel and level with the table, repeat this procedure on the outfeed
extension.
LEVELING INFEED AND OUTFEED PULLOUT EXTENSIONS
The table pullout extensions offer the user additional support for longer stock. They must be parallel to,
and at the same height as, the table they are attached to.

CLEANING SPIRAL CUTTERHEAD & TIPS
WARNING! MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WARNING! To prevent serious personal injury NEVER rotate the cutterhead by hand. Cutter tips
are razor sharp! Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling the cutterhead. Avoid
touching the cutter insert by hand without protection.
NOTE: Do not get solvent on any painted portion of the machine.
WAHUDA spiral cutterheads are machined with a film of oil that may be left over from the process.
Removal of this oil residue, if apparent, should be done before you use your new machine.
Lower the cutterhead assembly, using the crank handle, to about 1” on the front depth scale.
Insert the supplied 4mm Hex Wrench into the side panel hole and into end of the cutterhead to
hold it in position. See picture following page page
Then, using the supplied T-25 T-Torx wrench, carefully remove the cutter tips. Continue rotating
the cutterhead with the Hex Wrench and remove the remaining tips. See picture following page.

Separate the tips from the screws and place in separate containers with a bit of mineral spirits or
non-chlorinated brake cleaner.
Once all are removed, wipe down the bare cutterhead using rags with whichever solvent you chose
mentioned above.
Once the oil is wiped off, use an air compressor or a can of pressurized air to clear each seat and
screw hole on the cutter head. This will aid in knife and cutter tips reinstallation.
Lubricate the Torx screw threads with light machine oil, wipe the excess oil off the threads.
Place each insert tip in the seat and slightly snug each screw using the Hex Wrench to hold the
cutterhead in position. Once you get a row of tips seated and slightly tightened down, repeat by
going back over each cutter tip and tighten down the screws securely to 48 to 50 inch / lbs. NOTE:
NOT FT / LBS !!!!
Install the remaining insert tips in the same fashion.
Reinstall the dust chute and dust port
NOTE: Periodically inspect the insert tips for wear and pitch build up. Remove and replace or clean as
necessary.
NOTE: After all assembly and adjustment instructions are completed, use a sacrificial board after cleaning
to test for remaining oil. If oil is still apparent, repeat the cleaning method you used above.
17
OPERATIONS
NOTE: This operations section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this planer.
However, it is in no way comprehensive of every planer operation. It is strongly recommended that you
read books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your planer while
minimizing the risks.
NOTE: This planer is designed to process wood ONLY. The use of any other material will void your
warranty.
SECURING PLANER TO A TABLE OR WORKBENCH
During operation, the planer MUST be secured to a supporting surface such as a solid and
sturdyworkbench or table. Four holes are provided (2 are shown below) to securely mount the planer. 2
holes are located in the front and 2 at the rear of the planer The surface you are mounting the planer to
should be flat. The mounting hole diameter is 3/8” and the length of the mounting bolts (not supplied)
will be determined by the thickness of your workbench/table. For reference, the thickness of the base
at the mounting holes is 1 / 2”. Make sure to use washers, split lock washers, and nuts of the
appropriate size, to secure the planer to your work top.
18
OPERATIONS
（
cont.
）
2 - SPEED SELECTOR SWITCH
The 26 FPM speed of the 50250PL-WHD planer allows normal speed for production type feed rates.
The slower 18 FPM speed allows for a very smooth finish even on figured stock.
NOTE: The position of the selector switch may not exactly match the image on the label
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE SPEED SELECTOR SWITCH SHOULD ONLY BE SHIFTED FROM ONE
SPEED TO ANOTHER WHILE THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED ON (RUNNING) AND NOT PLANING
ANY STOCK (NO LOAD) DOING OTHERWISE WILL DAMAGE THE SPEED MECHANISM!
RAISING AND LOWERING HEAD ASSEMBLY
The cutterhead assembly consists of the cutterhead, insert tips, feed rollers, roller chains, gearbox, and
cutterhead dust chute. Raising and lowering of the head assembly controls the depth of cut on the
planer.
To raise the cutterhead assembly, turn the adjusting crank handle clockwise. To lower the head
assembly, turn the adjusting crank handle counterclockwise.
NOTE: One revolution of the handle will move the cutterhead up or down approximately 1/16”. You can
confirm this by referencing the thickness scale on the front right side of the planer.
19
OPERATIONS
（
cont.
）
With the machine powered OFF, and the cutterhead raised, insert your workpiece just under the
indicator arrow.
Crank the cutterhead down until the button comes in contact with the workpiece. As you rotate the
raise / lower handle, the needle on the depth of cut scale will move showing how much material will
be removed in that pass. Note, the needle may jump during the planing of your stock. This is
normal.
DEPTH-OF-CUT INDICATOR
The Depth-Of-Cut Indicator, located on the front of the machine, is a convenient way to quickly
determine how much material is being planed off in one pass.
1.
2.
POWER SWITCH
The planer is turned ON by flipping the switch into the left position and it is turned OFF by flipping the
switch to the right. This planer is also equipped with a special lockout toggle switch that prevents
unauthorized use. To prevent unauthorized use of the planer, simply pull out the yellow safety key
located on the face of the switch. When installing the yellow safety key, make sure it is inserted
completely and a faint “click” is felt.
