Receiving
Carefully unpack the planer and any loose items
from the wood crate and inspect for damage. Any
damage should be reported immediately to your
distributor and shipping agent. Before proceeding
further, read your manual thoroughly to familiarize
yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and
safety procedures.
Remove the screws that hold the planer to the
shipping skid. Remove the protective coating from
the table, bed rolls, feed rolls, cutterhead and
loose items packed with the machine, including
lifting handles and motor pulley. This coating may
be removed with a soft cloth moistened with
Kerosene. Do not use acetone, gasoline or
lacquer thinner for this purpose. Do not use
solvents on plastic parts.
Use care when cleaning the
cutterhead, the knives are very sharp.
Installation & Assembly
1. There are four lifting handles (Fig. 3) on the
machine. Pull the handles out for use, push in
when not in use.
2. If a sling or forklift is used to lift the machine,
be sure to lift by the handles only. See Fig. 3.
Make sure machine is kept in level position
while lifting.
3. For best planing performance, locate planer
on a solid, level foundation and anchor to the
floor with good quality lag screws. Do not
tighten screws completely yet.
4. With machine in position, test table surface
lengthwise and crosswise with machinist’s
level. Place metal shims under low corners.
5. Check that all four corners are supported,
then tighten lag screws.
6. Re-test level of table surface in both directions
and adjust if necessary.
Starter Box
Mount the starter box at the left side of the
machine with two socket head cap screws (Fig. 4).
