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.

B. Table Height Handwheel: Raises and lowers table to
accommodate different workpiece thicknesses. One
complete revolution of handwheel moves the table
approximately 2mm (0.08").
C. Table Locks: Secure table height position so they
don't shift during cutting operation.
D. Depth Limiter: Limits depth of cut to a maximum of
1⁄8" at full width.
E. Feed Rate Control Knob: Selects 28 FPM feed rate
when pushed in and 16 FPM feed rate when pulled
out.
F. Magnetic ON/OFF Switch (W1862):
— Green start button turns motor ON.
— Red Stop button turns motor OFF; for safety
purposes, this button remains depressed and
prevents restarting until reset. Reset by rotating
clockwise until it pops out.
G. Return Rollers: Assist sliding workpiece back to
operator following planing operation.
H. Dust Port: 4" dust port connects to a dust-collection
system to extract shavings and dust during
operation.
