WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE THICKNESS PLANER
1.
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED PLANER MOVEMENT:
•
Attach the rubber feet, and bolt or clamp the planer to a firm level surface where there
is plenty of room to move the workpiece through the entire cut.
•
Support the planer in a way such that the tables are level and the planer does not rock.
•
Place the thickness planer in a location where operators or bystanders will not stand in
line with the wood while planing.
2.
DO NOT STAND ON THE THICKNESS PLANER. Do not store materials above or near it.
Standing on the thickness planer to reach materials could result in serious injury if it tips or
is accidentally contacted.
BEFORE OPERATING THE THICKNESS PLANER
1.
Read, understand, and follow all operating instructions, safety rules, and symbols in this
manual, as well as the warning labels on the tool, before operating, maintaining, and
cleaning the thickness planer.
2.

3. INSPECT THE THICKNESS PLANER:
•
If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or if any electrical part does not work
properly, turn the planer OFF and unplug it.
•
Replace damaged or missing parts before using the thickness planer.
•
Make sure the cutter head turns in the right direction. The top should move toward the
in-feed table.
