Installation

Remove the screws holding the base of the
machine to the skid. Use the lifting eyes on front
and back of the planer for hoisting it off the skid.
See Figure 1. Make sure the hex nuts are
tightened before lifting. The lifting eyes can be
removed once the planer is situated.

Place the planer on a solid foundation,
preferably a concrete floor. The four leveling feet
should be placed beneath the corners, and the
screws and hex nuts used for leveling
adjustments. See Figure 2. Alternatively, yo u
can secure the machine to the floor by using lag
screws through the holes in the base.

The machine area should be clean, dry, well
ventilated, and well lighted. Since planers can
create noise problems, the site selection should
be one which minimizes reverberant sound from
walls, ceilings and other equipment. Electricals
should be installed so that they are protected
from damage and exposure.

Exposed metal parts have been given a
protective coating at the factory. This should be
removed with a soft rag and kerosene or a good
commercial solvent. Do not use an abrasive
pad, as it may scratch polished metal surfaces.
