Unpacking
Open shipping container and check for shipping
damage. Report any damage immediately to
your distributor and shipping agent. Do not
discard any shipping material until the
Planer/Molder is assembled and running
properly.
Compare the contents of your container with the
following parts list to make sure all parts are
intact. Missing parts, if any, should be reported
to your distributor. Read the instruction manual
thoroughly for assembly, maintenance and
safety instructions.
Contents of the Shipping Container
1 Planer/Molder
1 Handwheel
1 Knife setting gauge
1 Dust chute with fasteners
1 Owner's Manual
1 Warranty Card
Installation and Assembly
Tools required:
10, 11 and 13mm wrenches
Remove the screws holding the base of the
machine to the skid, and lift the planer/molder
off the skid.
The machine area should be clean, dry, well
ventilated, and well lighted. Since planers can
create noise problems, the site selection should
be one which minimizes reverberant sound from
walls, ceilings and other equipment. The
machine’s wheels should be in the locked
position prior to use.
Electricals should be installed so that they are
protected from damage and exposure. Be sure
to properly ground the machine frame.
Exposed metal parts, such as the bed surface,
have been given a protective coating at the
factory. This should be removed with a soft rag
and kerosene or a good commercial solvent.
Do not use an abrasive pad.
Installing Dust Chute
Mount the dust chute with the washer head
screws, using a 10mm wrench. See Figure 1.
Installing Handwheel
Mount the handwheel by fitting the notches in
the handwheel over the pins on the shaft. See
Figure 2.
