General Operation
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HAZARDS
SUCH AS KICKBACK:
Do not plane workpieces shorter than 15″, narrower
than 3/4″, wider than 12-1/2″, or less than 1/8″ thick.
Use only natural dry woodstock which is free from
nails, staples, knots, etc.
Feed into Planer in line with the grain.
Do not plane wood that is twisted, warped, knotted or
bowed.
Note: If one side of workpiece is uneven, plane with
flat side down first. If both sides are uneven, run one
side through a jointer to flatten it before planing.
Note: Use Depth Adjustment Scale as a reference
to indicate thickness of finished workpiece.
Note: Practice on scrap material until
familiar with Planer′s capabilities.
1. Make sure dust collection system is in place.
2. Make sure Power Switch is in the off-position.
3. Plug in Planer.
Note: Use calipers to measure workpiece.
Note: The Turret Depth Stop dial can be used to
select one of three pre-set depths. Head is lowered to
contact the stop. The depths are marked on the dial.
4. Place workpiece on Planer Table, then turn
Depth Adjustment Handle counterclockwise to
lower Cutterhead until it just touches workpiece.
5. Under the Depth Adjustment Handle; turn
the indicator ring to line up the “ZERO” mark
with the indicator mark on the machine.

6. Push the Head Lock Handle down.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury, do not turn
Planer on with workpiece under Cutterhead.
7. Remove workpiece, then turn Depth
Adjustment Handle counterclockwise.
One full turn will remove 1/16″ of material.
NOTICE: Do not remove more than 1/8″ of material at
one time (1-1/2 turns of Depth Adjustment Handle).
NOTICE: Keep long workpieces level by
supporting them on both ends of Planer
with stands or by other means.
8. The Turret Depth Stop can be set to stop the
Planer at exact thicknesses. i.e. 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″.
9. The Depth Gauge offers an alternative method
of setting depth of cut. Slide workpiece
beneath spring-loaded touch pin and lower
the Cutterhead until pin contacts workpiece.
Continue lowering until depth gauge reads
desired depth of cut. Remove workpiece.
10. Turn on Planer by Pressing the green Power Button.
11. After Cutterhead has reached full speed, slowly
guide workpiece into Planer until Infeed Roller takes
control. Workpiece will auto feed through Planer, do
not push on workpiece once it starts autofeeding.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury from kickback,
stand on side nearest the switch and to the side.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Keep hands out from underneath Cutterhead.
12. Retrieve workpiece from Outfeed side.
Note: If using assistant, Rollers may be used to
transport workpiece from Outfeed to Infeed.
Note: If one or both ends of workpiece have a deeper
cut, the problem may be snipe.
See Troubleshooting on page 12for a solution.

13. Continue to remove material until
desired thickness is achieved.
NOTICE: To prevent damage from clogging,
empty dust collection system frequently.
14. To prevent accidents, turn off tool by pressing
the Paddle Switch, and unplug tool from
its electrical outlet after use. Clean and lubricate
according to Maintenance and Servicing on page
10, then store tool indoors out of children’s reach.
