Work Area
TO AVOID RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, FIRE AND SHOCK, MAKE SURE YOUR
WORK AREA IS:
Free of damp, wet or rainy conditions.
Free of children (never let them handle tools or machinery).
Well-lit, clean and uncluttered.
Before Operating
Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Before operating your Planer check for damaged parts. You should also check the feed rollers to be sure
chips and sawdust are not caught in them. If the Rollers are not seated firmly, the Feed Rolls will not hold the
stock firmly against the bed. This may result in kickback during operation.
Give the Planer a test run. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates irregularly, turn it off, unplug it and have
the problem corrected by a qualified technician.
Make certain to turn off and unplug the Planer when doing any maintenance. The tool should always be
turned off, unplugged when not in use and Guards kept in place and in working order.
Feed the work into the blade or cutter against the direction and rotation of the blade or cutter.

1.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above. The
tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated above in 250 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.
Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

3.
The 250 V~ plug does not come pre-installed and will need to be installed by a certified electrician.
The plug above is for use on a 15 A circuit. A different 250 V~ plug and outlet combination may be
used, provided it is rated to handle the electrical requirements of the tool and is installed by a certified
electrician.

Assembly
Your Planer requires only limited assembly as indicated below; otherwise it is fully assembled. To assist you
with assembly and operation please refer to the Assembly Diagram and Parts List located on pages 8,9,10
and 11. Lay out all parts onto a clear section of your workbench prior to assembly.
1.
2.
The Planer has four (4) legs so that it can be mounted to a table or a work bench. Each of these legs/
angles (4) should be attached at one side (bottom corners) to the Planer and then 2 of the 5/16” bolts
should be bolted onto the workbench with a washer between the Bolt and the workbench or table.
To put the Handle (part #150) onto the Planer, insert it into the hole on the right front side of the Planer
and press it into place. WARNINg! check blade setting and tightness before initial use.
Operation
When operating your Planer, refer to the Parts List and Assembly Diagram on the last pages of this manual.
Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. It is designed to do the job better
and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Plane only wood boards.
After planing approximately 50 feet of material, stop machine and check Cutterhead Jib screws and blades for
tightness.
Do not force feed your work through the machine. Allow the Planer to feed at the designated rate of feed.
Step 1)
Use the Height Adjusting Handle (part #150) to set the blade height. Set the height according
to the indicating scale on the Planer beneath the Handle.
Note:
This Planer is specifically designed for the planing of lumber. Before planing any lumber,
check for any foreign materials such as nails, screws, or hard impurities in the wood. Also
check for loose knots in the wood. If not cleaned off these may cause damage to the blade or
machine. Never make a Planer cut deeper than 1/8”.
When feeding your lumber, use a Push Block to feed the lumber, rather than using your
hands. The Push Block must be thinner than 3 inches.
Step 2)
Step 3)
Step 4)
The ON and OFF switch is located on the front of the Planer. Press the GREEN button to
START the Planer, and RED button to turn the Planer OFF.
The planing depth of the planer is controlled by turning the Handle and setting the depth of
the Planer by the Ruler. The settings on the Ruler run from 0” to 6”.
Feed lumber through Planer. After each planing, you can use the Roller Bars on top of the
planer to roll the workpiece back to the Feed position, rather than carrying it back and forth.
Checking the Knife Gauge for Proper Height
Step 1)
Loosen all screws. Place the knife gauge as shown
in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Use the wrench key and the
turn screw (D) until the blade (C) touches the knife
gauge.

Step 2)
Step 3)
Repeat the same steps for the other
end of the blade.
Once the knife gauge is at the proper
height, tighten all screws that were
loosened in step 1.
Figure 2
Adjusting Warp
Warp is a variation from a plane or true surface. Warping of wood is caused by uneven shrinkage during the
drying process.
The ideal is to have a straight board with no warp. Merely run the board through on both sides and plane to
the desired thickness.
Cup Warpage: With a board that is cupped (as in the figure below) you would first plane the top flat and then
turn the board over and plane the bottom flat. If possible, rip the board down the middle of the cup. This will
eliminate a large amount of waste in the planing.
cup Warp
Figure 3
Grain Direction
Feeding with the grain is feeding so that the knives travel in the same direction as the slant of the grain.
Grain patterns often have a “V” shape. The point of the “V” should point away from the cutterhead while
feeding.
Grain direction can also be determined by running your fingertips over the stock. The stock will be smoother
when your fingertips are moving with the grain.
Occasionally the grain direction reverses in the same piece of wood. For best planing results, it would be
better to cut the board in half so that each section can be planed with the grain. For an example, please refer
to the illustration above in Figure 3.

Lubrication of the Planer is important for accuracy and durability of the machine.
Step 1)
Apply grease to the Guide Rod (A) to ensure that the table block moves up and down the
planer smoothly.
Step 2)
Step 3)
There are eight (8) sets of bevel sprockets (B) located inside the Planer.
Use a brush to apply oil to the chain (C). Oil should also be applied to the Bracket (D) of the
Feed Roll Rod.

Figure 4
Adjusting Belt Tension
Located under the motor are two (2) brackets (see E in Figure 4). Each bracket has one (1) set screw and
two (2) Lock Nuts. Loosen all Lock Nuts. At the middle of the pulleys, apply light pressure to the Belt. At the
same time adjust the Set Screw until the Belt is just firm but not overly tight. Do not over tighten Belt tension.
Once the correct tension is reached, tighten the lock nuts.
Blade Maintenance
Step 1)
Step 2)
Use the Allen Wrench to loosen the screws. Loosen the Hex screw and then take out the
Knife Lock Bar (B) and blade (C).
Use the same method to remove the blade at either end.
