CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be
protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-
prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same
characteristics as indicated on the tool. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will
damage the motor.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your tool is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power source, make sure
the switch is in the “OFF” position. The no-load speed of the motor is 8000 RPM.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which
has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. DD, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Carefully unpack the tool and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Peel protective film from the table surface.
Remove and clean the protective coating from the cutterhead. Remove the protective coating from all unpainted
surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer
thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted sufaces with a good quality paste wax.
CAUTION: CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN CLEANING THE CUTTERHEAD AS THE KNIVES ARE SHIPPED IN
THE CUTTERHEAD AND THEY ARE VERY SHARP. Figs. 2 and 3, ILLUSTRATE THE PLANER AND ALL LOOSE
ITEMS SUPPLIED WITH THE MACHINE.

EXTENSION TABLES
The infeed and outfeed extension tables (A) Fig. 6, are
shipped attached to the machine in the raised position.
Lower the tables (A) on both sides of the planer A
as shown in Fig. 6. The top surface of extension tables
should be level with the planer table. To check and
adjust if necessary, refer to section “LEVELING

FASTENING PLANER TO
SUPPORTING SURFACE
During operation, if there is any tendency for the planer
to tip over, slide or “walk” across the supporting surface,
the planer must be secured to the supporting surface
through the four holes in the base, two of which are
shown at (A) Fig. 9.

OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
STARTING AND
STOPPING PLANER
The “ON/OFF” switch (A) Fig. 13, is located on the front A
of the planer motor. To turn the machine “ON”, move the
switch toggle (B) to the up position. To turn the switch
B
“OFF”, move the switch toggle (B) to the down position.
LOCKING SWITCH IN
THE “OFF” POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch Fig. 13
should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent
unauthorized use. Grasp the switch toggle (B) and pull
it out as shown in Fig. 14. With the switch toggle
removed, the switch will not operate. However, should
the switch toggle (B) Fig. 14, be removed while the A
machine is running, the switch (A) can be turned “OFF”
once, but cannot be restarted without reinserting the
switch toggle. B
HARD WOOD
For 10 and 12 wide soft wood, we recommend a maxi-
mum depth-of-cut of 1/16 . For 10 and 12 wide hard 1
/32
wood, a maximum depth-of-cut of 3/64 is
recommended. IMPORTANT: A 3/32² DEPTH-OF-CUT
CAN BE MADE IN 10² AND 12² WIDE SOFT AND HARD
WOODS. HOWEVER, CONTINUOUS OPERATION AT 2 4 6 8 10 12
THIS CUTTING DEPTH CAN CAUSE PREMATURE WIDTH OF STOCK

STORING THE POWER CORD
A
Wire hangers (A) Fig. 18, are provided on the underside
of the outfeed extension table as shown, to store the
power cord (B) when the planer is not in use and when
transporting the machine.
ADJUSTING KNIVES
To check and adjust the knives, proceed as follows: Fig. 19
Fig. 21 Fig. 22
5. If an adjustment to one or both knives is necessary, slightly loosen the seven locking screws, six of which are
shown at (C) Fig. 21, by turning the screws CLOCKWISE into the knife locking bar just enough to relieve stress in the
cutterhead and not disturb the knife setting.
6. With setting gage (B) Fig. 20, in place, apply pressure to the knife being reset. Turn the seven knife locking screws
(C) Fig. 21, CLOCKWISE until the knife locking bar becomes loose. Lift springs will automatically raise the knife until
it comes in contact with gage (B) Fig. 20. Snug the knife locking bar by lightly turning the seven locking screws (C) Fig.
21, COUNTERCLOCKWISE. IMPORTANT: AT THIS TIME, ONLY TIGHTEN THE KNIFE LOCKING BAR JUST
ENOUGH TO HOLD THE KNIFE IN POSITON INSIDE THE CUTTERHEAD SLOT.
7. If the other knife needs adjustment, repeat STEP 6.
8. After both knives are positioned in the cutterhead, turn each of the seven screws, six of which are shown at (C)
Fig. 21, COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the knife is secure in the cutterhead. NOTE: When tightening knife locking
screws, tighten the end screws first, then inward toward the center of the cutterhead.
9. Replace chip deflector (A) Fig. 19.

Your planer is provided with two lifting straps (A) Fig. 23,
located on the top of the planer, for ease in transporting
the planer.

OPERATIONS
When using your machine, you may want to follow these few simple steps for achieving the best results possible.
2. True Up One Face – Feed one face of the board over a Jointer, making thin cuts with each pass, until the entire
surface is flat.
3. Plane to Thickness – Place the side you just surfaced in STEP 2 face down and feed the board through the Planer,
as shown in Figs. 24 and 25. Plane both sides of the board until you are satisfied with the thickness, making thin cuts
with each pass. If during the planing operation you notice the board twisting, warping or bowing, repeat STEP 2 and
true up one face.
4. When planing long stock, provide auxiliary tables or rollers to support the infeed and outfeed end of the workpiece.
5. For best results, plane with the wood grain only, and keep planer table clean. Occasionally, wax table surface to
reduce friction during the planing operation.

MAINTENANCE
BRUSH INSPECTION
AND REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: BEFORE INSPECTING THE BRUSHES, DIS-
CONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE. A
The brush holders, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 26, Fig. 26
are located on the motor housing opposite each other.
Fig. 27, illustrates one of the brushes removed for in-
spection. When the carbon (B) on either brush is worn to
3/16 in length or if either spring (C) or shunt wire is
burned or damaged in any way, replace both brushes.
If the brushes are found serviceable after removing, re-
install them in the same position as removed.
B C
LUBRICATION
The gears in the gear box and the feed roller bushings
should be lubricated periodically, as follows: Fig. 27
4. Lay the planer on its back and squirt oil on the feed
roller bushings (D) Fig. 30, at each end of the feed rolls (E).
