The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.
This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in
a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,
proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-
hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property
damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or
misuse.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
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 equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

INTRODUCTION
Controls & Components
To reduce your risk of serious injury
or damage to the machine, read this
entire manual BEFORE using machine.
Refer to Figures 1–2 and the following descriptions to
become familiar with the basic controls and components
of this machine.Understanding these items and how they
work will help you understand the rest of the manual and
stay safe when operating this machine.
A. ON/OFF Switch: Turns motor ON when flipped up;
turns motor OFF when pressed down.
B. Circuit Breaker Reset Button: Allows machine to
be restarted after thermal overload protection
has tripped. To reset, place ON/OFF switch in OFF
position, wait a few minutes for motor to cool,
then press reset button. If button does not stay
depressed, allow motor to cool longer, then try
again.
C. ON/OFF Switch Disabling Key: Disables switch when
yellow key is removed to prevent unauthorized
operation of planer.
D. Depth-of-Cut Gauge: Shows depth of cut (from
0"–1⁄8") when workpiece contacts indicator at bottom
of gauge.
E. Cutterhead Elevation Scale: Shows elevation of
cutterhead above table. The measurement indicated
along top edge of red indicator shows effective
thickness of board after planing.
F. Cutterhead Lock Lever: Locks cutterhead in place
to ensure it does not move during operations. Rotate
lever all the way right to engage lock; rotate all the
way left to release lock. Lock must be released to
adjust headstock height.
G. Cutterhead Elevation Handwheel: Raises and
lowers cutterhead. Rotate counterclockwise to raise
cutterhead; rotate clockwise to lower it. Each full
rotation changes elevation 1⁄16".
H. Cutterhead Depth Stop Lever: Quickly adjusts
headstock height from 1⁄8"–13⁄4".

INTRODUCTION
Internal Components
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre-
quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect
and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked
or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
A. Infeed Roller: Rotates with the direction
of feed to pull the workpiece toward the
cutterhead.
B. Cutterhead: Holds the inserts that remove
material from the workpiece. Rotates
opposite the direction of feed.
C. Outfeed Roller: Rotates with the direction
of feed to pull the workpiece through the
planer.
D. Planer Table: Provides a smooth, flat
surface for the workpiece to slide against
as it moves through the planer. Planer
extension tables fold up and down for
mobility.

SAFETY
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
proper operation of the equipment or a situation that may cause
damage to the machinery.
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
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered,
or have poor lighting. Operating machinery
in these areas greatly increases the risk of
accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED.
Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of
machinery. Never operate under the influence
of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when
distracted.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can
be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an
electrician or qualified service personnel to
do electrical installation or repair work, and
always disconnect power before accessing or
exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect
machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This eliminates the risk of injury
from unintended startup or contact with live
electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.
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!
