NOTICE
SAFETY
OWNER’S MANUAL.
Read and understand this
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY.
Untrained operators
have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only
allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used,
disconnect power, remove switch keys, or
lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized
use—especially around children. Make
workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use

Standard Machinery Safety Instructions
For Your Own Safety,
Read Manual Before Operating Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the
safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention mea-
sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!
SAFETY
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions

-9-
Model W1877 (For Machines Mfd. Since 7/20)
SAFETY
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel,or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to
avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss
of workpiece control.
HAZARDOUS
DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION.
Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS.
Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,
wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always verify removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE.
Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leadsto serious
personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS.
Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS.
Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris—make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may
occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during
operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine
is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk
of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A
machine that is improperly maintained could
malfunction, leading to serious personal injury
or death.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting
cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the
cord may damage the wires inside, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away

SAFETY
Additional Safety for Planers
Amputation, serious cuts, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead
or other moving parts! Flying chips can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces or knives
thrown by cutterhead can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce risk
of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
KICKBACK.
Know how to reduce the risk of
kickback and kickback-related injuries.
“Kickback” occurs during operation when
the workpiece is ejected from the machine
at high speed. Kickback is commonly caused
by poor workpiece selection, unsafe feeding
techniques, or improper machine setup/
maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur
as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck
by the workpiece, resulting in impact injuries
(i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises, death);
(2) operator’s hands are pulled into blade,
resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.
AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS.
Never
remove guards/covers or reach inside the
planer during operation or while connected to
power. You could be seriously injured if you
accidentally touch the spinning cutterhead
or get entangled in moving parts. If a
workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust removal
is necessary, turn planer OFF and disconnect
power before clearing.
DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS.
Only use
sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. Dull or
damaged knives/inserts increase the risk of
kickback.
INSPECTING STOCK.
To reduce the risk of
kickback injuries or machine damage,
thoroughly inspect and prepare the workpiece
before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of
nails, staples, loose knots or foreign material.
Workpieces with minor warping should be
jointed first or planed with the cupped side
facing the table.
BODY PLACEMENT.
Stand to one side of planer
during the entire operation to avoid getting
hit if kickback occurs.
GRAIN DIRECTION.
Planing across the grain is
hard on the planer and may cause kickback.
Plane in the same direction or at a slight
angle with the wood grain.
PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane
natural wood stock with this planer. DO NOT
plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other
synthetic materials that can break up inside
the planer and be ejected towards operator.
LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips fly around
inside the planer at a high rate of speed
during operation. To avoid injury from flying
material, DO NOT look inside planer during
operation.
CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce the risk of
kickback hazards or damage to the machine,
do not exceed the maximum depth of cut or
minimum board length and thickness found
in the Data Sheet. Only feed one board at a
time.
INFEED ROLLER CLEARANCE. The infeed
roller is designed to pull material into the
spinning cutterhead. To reduce the risk of
entanglement, keep hands, clothing, jewelry,
and long hair away from the infeed roller
during operation.
FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY.
To reduce the risk
of kickback, never start planer with workpiece
touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to
reach full speed before feeding, and do not
change feed speed during cutting operation.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce the risk of
kickback, always make sure workpiece can
move completely across table without rocking
or tipping. Use auxiliary support stands for
long stock.
SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or
improperly set inserts can become dangerous
projectiles or cause machine damage. Always
verify knives/inserts are secure and properly
adjusted before operation.

ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL
Circuit Requirements
This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating ........................... 15 Amps
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instructed to do so later
in this manual.
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this
machine can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,
only an electrician or qualified service
personnel should do any required
electrical work on this machine.
NOTICE
The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to a dedicated circuit—
where only one machine will be running
at a time. If this machine will be
connected to a shared circuit where
multiple machines will be running at the
same time, consult with an electrician
to ensure that the circuit is properly
sized for safe operation.
Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply
circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following
requirements:
Nominal Voltage .......................... 110V,115V, 120V
Cycle ........................................................60 Hz
Phase .............................................. Single-Phase
Power Supply Circuit ................................ 20 Amps
Plug/Receptacle ................................... NEMA 5-15
Cord .................“S”-Type, 3-Wire, 14 AWG, 300 VAC

Model W1877 (For Machines Mfd. Since 7/20)
ELECTRICAL
Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of
malfunctionsor breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current
to travel—in
order
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire
will
increase
the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation
(with/without yellow stripes)is the equipment-
grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if
you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if
you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded.
If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.
This machine is equipped with a power cord with an
equipment-grounding
wire and NE M A 5-15 grounding
plug
(see figure). The plug must only be inserted into
a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
For 120V Connection
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instructed to do so later
in this manual.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord with
this machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which
may damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords
and smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers indicate
smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required
plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size at 120V ...................... 12 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.
No adapter should be used with the
required plug. If the plug does not fit
the available receptacle or the machine
must be reconnected to a different
type of circuit, the reconnection must
be made by an electrician or qualified
service personnel and it must comply
with all local codes and ordinances.

Refer to the Machine Specifications for the
weight and footprint specifications of your
machine. Some workbenches may require
additional reinforcement to support the weight
of the machine and workpiece materials.
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and
additional space needed for auxiliary stands,
work tables, or other machinery when
establishing a location for this machine in the
shop. Below is the minimum amount of space
needed for the machine.

Figure 8. Typical "Direct Mount" setup.
The base of this machine has mounting holes that allow it
to be fastened to a workbench or other mounting surface
to prevent it from moving during operation and causing
accidental injury or damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount" (see
example) where holes are drilled all the way through the
workbench—and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are
used to secure the machine in place.
Another option is a "Direct Mount" (see example) where
the machine is secured directly to the workbench with lag
screws and washers.

Tools Needed Qty
Dust Collection System ........................................1
Dust Hose 4" or 2
1⁄2"...........................................1
Hose Clamps 4" or 2
1⁄2"........................................1
To connect a dust collection hose, do these steps:
1. Fit 4" or 2
1⁄2"dust hose over dust port, as shown in
Figure 11, and secure it in place withhose clamp.
2. Tug hose to make sure it does not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: ................ 400 CFM
Dust Collection
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust
port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of
the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout
the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables
is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or
purchase a good dust collection “how-to” book.
This machine creates substantial amounts of dust
during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regu-
lar basis can result in permanent respiratory illness.
Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and captur-
ing the dust with a dust collection system.

port.
