WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the rules

and precautions before operating tool.

CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures

as defined in this manual even if you are familiar with

use of this or similar tools. Remember that being care-

less for even a fraction of a second can result in severe

personal injury.

BE PREPARED FOR JOB

• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,

gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry

which may get caught in moving parts of machine.

•Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

•Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.

•Wear safety glasses complying with United States

ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact

resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.

• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.

• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools

when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications

that cause drowsiness.

PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB

•Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite

accidents.

•Do not use power tools in dangerous environments.

• Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do

not expose power tools 1o rain.

• Work area should be properly lighted.

• Proper electrical receptacle should be available for

tool. Three prong plug should be plugged directly

into properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.

• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and

the three wires of the extension cord should be of

the correct gauge.

• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.

• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop child-

proof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch

keys to prevent any unintentiona_ use of power tools.

TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED

• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.

• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjust-

ing procedures.

• Keep toot lubricated and clean for safest operation.

• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to

see that adjusting tools are removed before switch-

ing machine on.

• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine

that the guard or other parts will operate properly

and perform their intended function.

• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of

moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any

other condition that may affect a tool's operation.

• A guard or other part that is damaged should be

properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform

makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order

replacement parts.)

KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL

•Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment

to do a job for which it was not designed.

• Disconnect tool when changing blades.

• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch

is in the "off" position before plugging in.

• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the

rate for which it was designed.

• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting

surfaces.

• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power

off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete

stop.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.

• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is

tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.

• Use recommended accessories (refer to page ??).

Use Of improper accessories may cause risk of

injury to persons.

•Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from pos-

sible injury.

•Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs

too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it

stuck in the work.)

•Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in

place and in proper operating condition.

•Feed work into blade or cutter against direction of

rotation.

DESCRIPTION

Craftsman 13" planer finishes rough-cut lumber to size

and planes soft and hardwoods up to 6" thick and 13"

wide. Wood feeds into two-blade cutterhead by rubber

infeed/outfeed rollers. Sturdy base construction and

four-post design permits smooth feeding and virtually

snipeless planing. Planer comes with enclosed, univer-

sal ball bearing, 2_/2HP (max. developed) motor with

overload protection. Motor has ON/OFF switch with

removable key to prevent accidental start-up. Unit fea-

tures cutterhead lock for uniform thickness, depth-of-cut

gauge for convenient set-up, workpiece thickness

gauge with 5 settings for consistent set-up, easy

hands-free replacement of blades for safety and mini-

mized downtime, top mounted rollers for workpiecs

return, built-in carrying handles, cord wraps for portabil-

ity and folding infeed/outfeed rollers for smooth opera-

tion. Planer takes cuts up to s/=,,per pass at 26 feet per

minute. Inch height scale has graduations in ¼," incre-

ments, and metric height scale has graduations in 1ram

increments.

OPERATION SAFETY RULES

WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the

instructions and precautions before operating tool.

WARNING: Operation of any power tool can result in

foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result

in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles

complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on

package) before commencing power tool operation.

CAUTION: Always observe the following safety pre-

cautions:

• Know general power tool safety. Make sure all pre-

cautions are understood (see pages 2, 3 and 7).

•Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on planer,

turn switch off and remove plug from power source.

•Make sure all guards are properly attached and

securely fastened.

•Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.

•Always wear eye protection or face shield.

•Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached

to cutterhead.

Do not plug in planer unless switch is in "off" posi-

tion. After turning switch on, allow planer to come to

full speed before operating.

Keep hands clear of all moving parts.

Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat

motor. Allow automatic feed to function properly.

Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are

smoother with good quality wood.

Do not plane material shorter than 15", narrower

than 3/_,,wider than 13" or thinner than ½".

Never make planing cut deeper than 3/_,,

Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and out-

feed table surfaces and cutterhead blade path.

Do not back the work toward the infeed table.

Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit any-

one to stand or cross in line of cutterhead's rotation.

Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction.

Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever plan-

er is not in use,

Replace knives as they become damaged or dull.

Keep planer maintained. Follow maintenance instruc-

tions (see pages 9 -11).

DEPTH OF CUT

Thickness, planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a

desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel

to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness

which the planer will produce is indicated by the scale

(A), and depth-of-cut-gauge (B). Preset the planer to

the desired thickness of finished workplace using gauge

(E). See =Workpiece Thickness Gauge", page 6.

Figure 15- Depth-Of-Cut

Depth-of-cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the

rollemase (C) using handle (D).

• Quality of thickness planing depends on the opera-

tor's judgement about the depth of cut.

Depth of cut depends on the width, hardness, damp-

ness, grain dire_ion and grain structure of the wood.

•Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed

in one pass is 3/_,,for planing operations on work-

piece up to 6" wide. Workplace must be positioned

away from the center tab on the rollercase to cut _=".

• Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed

in one pass is 1/16"for planing operations on work-

piece from 6" up to 13" wide.

• For optimum planing performance, the depth of cut

should be less than ¼6".

• Board should be planed with shallow cuts until the

work has a level side. Once a level surface has been

created, flip the lumber and create parallel sides.

• Plane alternate sides until the desired thickness is

obtained. When half of total depth of cut is taken from

each side, the board will have a uniform moisture con-

tent and additional drying will not cause it to warp.

• Depth of cut should be shallower when work is wider.

•When planing hardwood, take light cuts or plane the

wood in thin widths.

• Make a test cut with a test piece and verify the thick-

ness produced.

• Check accuracy of test cut prior to working on fin-

ished product.

AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES

• Thickness planer is a precision woodworking

machine and should be used on quality lumber only.

•Do not plane dirty boards; dirt and small stones are

abrasive and will wear out blade.

•Remove nails and staples. Use planer to cut wood only.

•Avoid knots. Heavily cross-grained wood makes

knots hard. Knots can come loose and jam blade.

CAUTION: Any article that encounters planer blades

may be forcibly ejected from planer creating risk of injury.

PREPARE WORK

•Thickness planer works best when lumber has at

least one flat surface.

Use surface planer or jointer to create a flat surface.

Twisted or severely warped boards can jam planer.

Rip lumber in half to reduce magnitude of warp.

Work should be fed into planer in same direction as

the grain of the wood. Sometimes grain will change

directions in middle of board. In such cases, if possi-

ble, cut board in middle before planing so grain

direction is correct.

CAUTION: Do not plane board which is less than 15"

long; force of cut could split board and cause kickback.

FEEDING WORK

The planer is suppliedwith planing blades mounted in the

cutterhead and infeed and outfeed rollersadjustedto the

correct height. Planer feed is automatic; it will vary slightly

depending on type of wood.

•Feed rate refers to rate at which lumber travels

through planer.

•Operator is responsible for aligning work so it will

feed properly.

•Raise/lower rollercase to produce the depth of cut

desired.

•Stand on side to which the handle is attached.

\I

Figure 16- Feeding Work

•Boards longer than 24" should have additional sup-

port from free standing material stands.

8

•Position the workpiece with the face to be planed on

top.

•Turn the planer ON.

•Rest board end on in-feed roller plate and direct

board into planer.

•Gently slide workpiece into the infeed side of the

planer until the infeed roller begins to advance the

workpiece.

•Let go of the workpiece and allow automatic feed to

advance the workpiece.

•Do not push/pull on workpiece. Move to the rear and

receive planed lumber by grasping it in same man-

ner as it was fed.

CAUTION: To avoid risk of injury due to kickbacks, do

not stand directly in line with front or rear of planer.

•Do not grasp any portion of board which has not

gone past out-feed roller.

•Repeat this operation on all boards which need to be

same thickness.

Planer will operate best if kept in good condition and

properly adjusted.

CHECK FOR WORN BLADES

•Condition of blades will affect precision of cut.

Observe quality of cut which planer produces to

check condition of blades.

•Dull blades will tear, rather than sever wood fibers

and produce fuzzy appearance.

•Raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on

wood that has varying density. Raised edge will also

be produced where blades have been nicked.

REPLACE BLADES

WARNING: Always turn planer OFF and disconnect

from power source before starting any maintenance

work.

•Loosen and remove socket head bolts (A) from chip

deflector (B) on the rear side of planer. Remove chip

deflector.

•Surface that the planer will produce will be smoother

if shallower depth of cut is used. Figure 18 -Remove Chip Deflector

Avoiding Snipe

•Snipe refers to a depression at either end of board

caused by an uneven force on cutterhead when work

is entering or leaving planer.

•Snil_e will occur when boards are not supported

properly or when only one feed roller is in contact

with work at beginning or end of cut.

• To avoid snipe, gently push the board up while feed-

ing the work until the ouffeed roller starts advancing

it.

•Move to the rear and receive planed board by gently

pushing it up when the infeed roller looses contact

with the board.

•When planing more than one board of the same

thickness, butt boards together to avoid snipe.

• Snipe is more apparent when deeper cuts are taken.

• Feed work in direction of grain. Work fed against

grain will have chipped, splintered edges.

• Carefully turn cutterhead by hand towards you until it

is stopped by the self-engaging latch.

•Loosen and remove six bolts from gib (C).

Figure 19 -Remove Gib Bolts

9

•Remove gibusing two magnets (D) provided.

\

,Figure 20 -Remove GIb

NOTE: Magnets can be easily disengaged from gib by

tilting them to left or right.

CAUTION: Blade edges are extremely sharp. Keep fin-

gers away from blades at all times.

•Blade is held on position by two pins. Gently lift old

blades from the pin using the two magnets. "Do not

make contact with the blade using fingers. Use mag-

nets only".

• Replace with new blade and carefully position it on

the two pins using the two magnets.

• Replace gib and align the holes on the gib with

holes on the blade using the two magnets.

• Secure gib to cutterhead using six bolts removed

earlier.

• Depress latch to release cutterhead. Release latch

when cutterhead can be turned by hand.

•Turn cutterhead by hand until it is stopped by self-

engaging latch.

• Remove gib and blade as mentioned earlier.

• Replace with new blade and replace gib and secure

it as mentioned earlier.

• Replace chip deflector and secure it using two bolts.

BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

WARNING: Turn planer off and disconnect from power

source. Brush life depends on amount of load on motor.

Regularly inspect brushes after 100 hours of use.

Brushes are located on either side of planer motor.

Figure 22 Replace Brushes -_ ' .....

• Loosen brush holder (A) and gently remove brush

from motor.

NOTE: Brushes are located on both front and rear

sides of planer.

•Replace spring (B) if damaged,

•Replace carbon (C) if worn.

•Replace brushes and tighten brush holder.

ADJUSTING TABLE LEVEL

Refer to Figures 24 and 25.

The planer will produce uneven depth of cut (tapered

cut) if the rollercase (Fig. 25, Key No. 26) is not parallel

with the base (Fig. 24, Key No. 43). To restore paral-

lelism of the rollercase with the base:

• Using a test piece, measure the height of the taper.

• Turn planer OFF and disconnect form power source.

• Fold the front and rear extension tables.

• Lay the planer carefully on it's back so that the bot-

tom side of the base is facing you.

• Clamp a vise plier (not supplied) on the left side of

shaft (Fig. 24, Key. No. 31) next to the gear (Fig. 24,

Key. No. 20).

• Remove retaining ring (Fig. 24, Key. No. 30) and dis-

engage right gear from the top gear (Fig. 24, Key.

No. 20).

• Slowly rotate handle (Fig. 24, Key. No. 11) to raise or

lower rollercase. Rollercase will move by 0.004" with

every turn of the gear by one tooth. Move rollercase

to the required distance to offset the taper.

• Re-engage the right and top gear and replace retain-

ing ring to secure.

• Release and remove vise plier.

10

•Set the planer back on it's base.

• Make a test cut to verify adjustment.

REPLACING V-BELT

Refer to Figures 23, 24 and 25.

Inadequate tension in the V-belt (Fig. 25, Key No. 84)

will cause the belt to slip from the motor pulley (Fig. 24,

Key. No. 24) or drive pulley (Fig. 25, Key No. 85). Loose

belt must be replaced. To replace V-belt:

•Turn planer off and unplug from power source.

•Loosen and remove screws (Fig. 24, Key. Nos. 3 and

4) on right panel (Fig. 24, Key. No. 14). Remove

panel.

•Remove old belt by walking the belt from motor and

drive pulleys alternatively. Gently pull the belt while

turning the pulleys at the same time.

•Replace with new belt. Walk the belt on to the pul-

leys in the reverse manner as when removing the

belt.

•Make sure the belt is evenly seated all the way on

the motor and drive pulleys grooves.

•Replace and secure right panel.

DUST COLLECTOR CHIP CHUTE

Planer is best used along with adust collector. Adust

collector chip chute (not shown) is available as an

optional accessory. The dust chute has a fitting for

attaching a 4" hose. A 4" to 2'/2"adapter is also avail-

able (see Recommended Accessories, page 17).

The dust collector chip chute is mounte/d_tothe planer

in place of the chip deflector (Key. No._). To mount dust

collector chip chute:

•Turn planer OFF and unplug from power source.

•Loosen end remove two socket head bolts (Key No. 7).

•Remove chip deflector.

•Slide dust collector chip chute along the inside walls

of rollercase (Key No. 26), so that the slots on the

dust chute are aligned above the holes on the roller-

case.

•Reuse two socket head bolts to secure dust chute

with rollercase.

After mounting, attach a 4" (outside diameter) dust col-

lector hose to the dust chute fitting. If dust collector chip

chute is used with the 4" to 2'/2"adapter, attach a 2'/2"

hose to the adapter. Be sure to turn the vacuum ON

before operating the planer.

LUBRICATION

•Motor and cutterheed bearings are sealed and need

no lubrication.

•Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned of

debris and greased.

•The base cover can be coated with alubricant such

as furniture wax, to make the workpiece feed

smoother. Be sure the lubricant used does not affect

the ability to finish the workpiece with varnish, seal-

er, etc. Do not use any silicone base lubricants.

CLEAN PLANER

• Keep planer clean of any wood chips, dust, dirt or debris.

• After 10 hours of operation, the chains and gears

should have wood chips, dust and old grease

removed.

• Use common automotive bearing grease to lubricate

all chains and gears. Be sure all chains and gears

have plenty of grease.
