ASSEMBLY
MOUNTING THE PLANER
See Figure 4.
If the planer is to be used in a permanent location, it is rec-
ommended you secure it to a workbench or to a mounting
board that can be easily clamped to a workbench or other
stable surface.
When mounting the planer to a workbench, holes should be
drilled through the supporting surface of the workbench.
When mounting the planer to a mounting board, the board
should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping while planer is
in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in.
minimum thickness is recommended.
n
Mark holes on surface where planer is to be mounted
using holes in planer base as a template for hole
pattern.
n Drill four holes through the mounting surface.
n Place planer on mounting surface, aligning holes in the
planer base with holes drilled in the mounting surface.
n Insert four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with
lock washers and hex nuts (not included).
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the
mounting surface. If lag bolts are used, make sure they
are long enough to go through holes in planer base and
material the planer is being mounted to. If machine bolts
are used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through
holes in planer base, the material being mounted to, and
the lock washers and hex nuts.
Supporting surface where planer is mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no move-
ment during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted,
secure workbench or support surface before beginning plan-
ing operation.
INSTALLING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT HANDLE
See Figure 5.
n
Locate the hex key, depth adjustment handle, and hex
head screw among the loose parts.
n Place the depth adjustment handle onto the depth gauge
shaft.
n Insert the screw through the hole in the handle and into
the threaded opening in the shaft.
n Using the hex key, rotate the screw clockwise to tighten
handle securely.
