[] NEVER plane more than one piece at a time. DO NOT
PLANE more than one workpiece on the planer table at
a time.
[] BEFORE STARTING UP, recheck to make certain all
holding screws are tight.
[] STOP THE MACHINE and recheck the hex head bolts
and blades for tightness after about 50 hours of operation.
[] DO NOT FORCE FEED THE WORKPIECE through the
machine. Let the planer apply the proper feed rate.
[] CHECK THE FEED ROLLERS occasionally to be sure
there are no chips or sawdust between any components.
[] PLANE ONLY SOUND LUMBER; there should be no
loose knots and as few tight knots as possible. Make
sure the workpiece is free from nails, screws, stones, or
other foreign objects that could break or chip the blades.
[] NEVER STAND DIRECTLY IN LINE with either the infeed
or outfeed sides. Stand off to one side.
[] MAKE SURE THE BLADES ARE ATTACHED as
described in the operation section. The blades are sharp
and can easily cut your hand. Use caution in handling
the blades and cutter head guard.
[] NEVER PUT YOUR FINGERS into the dust chute or

,A WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
•lead from lead-based paints,
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the
power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart
provided below to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
Length of Extension Cord Wire Size (A.W.G.)
Up to 25 feet 14
26-50 feet 12
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters WA on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. Repair or replace
a damaged or worn cord immediately.
_, CAUTION:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool.
,_, WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If dam-
aged replace immediately. Never use tool with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your Planer is powered by a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts,
60 Hz. If the machine does not operate when plugged into an
outlet, double check the power supply.
GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an
electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like
the one shown in Figure 1. Italso has a grounding pin like the
one shown.

OPERATION
GETTING STARTED
Before turning on the planer, check for loose fasteners,
fittings, or hardware. Be sure the dust cover is securely
mounted and that the blade cutter rotates freely.
Lower the cutter head assembly to approximately 1 in.
(25 mm) above the planer table surface. Without putting any
load on the planer, test the motor by turning the planer on and
allowing itto reach full speed. Ifthe planer sounds excessively
loud or has excessive vibration, turn off the machine
immediately and check again for any loose hardware,
retightening any you may find.
THICKNESS PLANING
Thickness planing sizes workpiece to desired thickness
while creating a smooth, level surface. Thickness of each cut
will depend on type of wood (hardwood versus softwood),
width of workpiece, straightness, dryness, and grain
composition. Whenever working with a new type of wood,
make thin test cuts on a scrap piece of wood first to determine
potential problems with the workpiece.
PLANING
Thickness planers work best if at least one side of the
workpiece has a flat surface. When both sides of a workpiece
is rough, use a surface planer or jointer first to define the
initial flat surface. Plane one side of the workpiece then flip
the workpiece and plane the surface of the reverse side.
Always plane both sides of a workpiece to reach the desired
thickness. This will leave the workpiece with uniform moisture
to prevent warp during the drying process.
When one end of the workpiece is thicker than the opposite
end by more than 1/8 in. (3 mm), make several cuts with the
planer starting with light planing cuts first. Remember, light
cuts create a finer finish than heavier cuts.
[] Do not plane a workpiece less than 3/16 in. (5 mm) thick.
[] Do not plane a workpiece less than 3/4 in. (19 mm) wide.
[] Do not plane workpiece shorter than 14 in. (356 mm)
long as this will cause kickback.
[] Do not plane more than one workpiece at a time.
[] Do not lower the cutter head assembly lower than 3/16
in. (5 mm)
Do not continuously use the planer set at the maximum depth
of cut (1/8 in., 3 mm) and at full width of cut (13 in., 330 mm).
Continuous use at maximum cutting capacity will damage
the motor.
,_ WARNING:
Never plane workpiece with loose knots or
foreign objects. Do not plane workpieces that are
severely bowed, twisted, or knotted. Cutter blades
can dull, chip, or break causing possible serious
personal injury.
,_ WARNING:
Do not force feed the workpiece through the ma-
chine. Let the planer apply the proper feed rate.
,_ WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
Worn cutter blades will affect cutting accuracy. Planing with
dull or nicked cutter blades may produce ridges or rough
workpiece surfaces.
Gum and pitch on the cutter blades will cause them to wear
prematurely. Using a gum and pitch remover to keep your
cutter blades clean will prolong their wear.
Refer to the Maintenance Section of this operator's manual
for instructions on how to remove and replace or turn the
cutter blades.
NOTE: Cutter blades are double-edged and can be turned
once to the opposite, unused edge before replacement is
required. Cutter blades must ALWAYS be replaced as a set.
LOCKING THE SWITCH
See Figure 15.
[] Wait until the planer has come to a full and complete
stop.
[] Place the switch in the OFF position, remove the switch
key from the switch assembly. Store key in safe place.

OPERATION
DEPTH GAGE
See Figure 16.
The depth gage indicates the amount of wood being removed
in a planing pass. The workpiece must be positioned under
the depth gage on the front of the planer.
Never make a planing cut deeper than:
[] 1/8 in. (3 mm) for material up to 6 in. (152 mm) wide
[] 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) for material 6 in. (152 mm) -13 in.
(330 mm) wide
Do not continuously use the planer at the maximum depth of
cut,l/8 in. (3 mm), as it will damage the motor.
REPLANING/USING REPEAT-A-CUT TM
See Figure 17.
Your planer has a replane feature using preset markers for
repetitive planing. The Repeat-A-Cut TM allows you to plane
material at a set measurement of 1/4 in. (6 mm). The
maximum depth of the replane indicator is 1-3/4 in. (44 mm).
[] Push Sure Cut TM to the left to unlock cutter head
assembly.
[] Raise cutter head assembly to a height greater than
1-3/4 in. (44 mm).
[] Move the replane indicator to the desired height.
[] Lower the cutter head assembly until it stops.
[] Lock cutter head assembly in place by pushing the Sure
Cut TM to the right.
AVOIDING SNIPE
Snipes, or depressions made at either end of a workpiece by
cutter blades, can occur when the board is not properly
supported. Engaging the cutter lock before planing will
minimize snipe. Although snipe may be barely noticeable, it
is important to keep the workpiece parallel and flat with the
planer table to minimize snipe. Butting workpieces end-to-
end as they are fed through the planer will minimize the
problem, especially for shorter pieces, because it provides a
more stable feed.
For workpieces longer than 48 in. (122 cm), greater care
must be taken to reduce the problem because the additional
length means more of the total weight is unsupported by the
planer table and rollers causing the shifting weight to work
against keeping the stock flat.
To remove snipe from a finished workpiece, cut off the end
of the workpiece where snipe is noticeable.
WARPED WOOD
Little or no warpage is the ideal condition for planing a
workpiece. Simply turn the workpiece over and plane it to the
desired thickness. Otherwise, plane the top flat first, turn the
workpiece and plane the bottom half.
For a board that is cupped or bowed across its width, the best
method is to rip the board lengthwise down the middle and
planethe pieces separately. This method eliminates much of
the waste in planing cupped or bowed workpieces.
The only way to remove the bow from a workpiece that is
cupped or bowed down its length is to use a jointer.
DEPTH GAGE
Fig. 16
Avoid using severely warped wood as it can jam the planer.
If it must be used, rip it in half before planing to help minimize
the possibility of jamming. If jamming does occur, turn the
switch off and unplug the planer immediately. Raise the
cutter head assembly high enough to remove the workpiece
easily. Carefully check to make sure no damage to the tool
has occurred before making the next planing pass.
Always feed the workpiece in the direction of the grain. This
allows the cutter blades to sever the wood fibers instead of
tearing them. Feeding against the grain can also cause the
cutter blades to chip the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always begin by disconnecting the power supply.
[] Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws for
tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate is in
good condition and in position.
[] Stop the machine and recheck the cutter head gib screws
and blades for tightness after about 50 hours of operation.
[] Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. DO
NOT use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.
LUBRICATION
Periodically, check all moving parts (spindle, roller surfaces,
handles, etc.) to ensure they are clean and well lubricated.
A light film of oil wiped on the face of the cutter blades will
keep them rust-free. All of the bearings in this tool are
lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for
the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. No
further lubrication is required.
MOTOR/ELECTRICAL
The universal motor is easy to maintain but must be kept
clean. Do not allow water, oil or sawdust to accumulate on or
in it. The sealed bearings are permanently lubricated and
need no further attention.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
See Figure 21.
Your planer has externally accessible brush assemblies that
should be checked every 10 to 15 operating hours for wear.
To inspect or replace these brushes, unscrew the brush cap
located at the right front and left rear of the planer. Be sure
to replace the brush cap securely after inspection or repairs.
BRUSH
BRUSHCAP
Fig. 21
CLEANING
Sawdust buildup and other debris can cause the tool to plane
inaccurately. Periodic cleaning and waxing is needed for
accurate, precision planing.
Do not allow sawdust to accumulate on the planer. Clean the
dust chute after each use. Moving parts should be cleaned
regularly with penetrating oil and lubricated with a light
coating of medium-weight machine oil.
Paste wax should be applied to the planing table surface to
ease the movement of workpieces across it. Paste wax can
also be used on infeed and outfeed support surfaces but be
careful not to use so much that it will be absorbed into the
wood and interfere with staining.
Check feed rollers after each use for resin buildup because
they must be clean to be effective. If buildup occurs, use a
mild, nonflammable tar and pitch remover.
