- Make sure all safety guards and hardware are securely tightened before operating the machine.
- Regularly check that the blades are locked tight in the cutterhead.
- Always keep hands and fingers away from the cutterhead, chip exhaust opening, feed rollers, belts and pulleys to prevent injury.
- Never make planing cuts deeper than 1/8". Multiple cuts, 1/16" or less, produce better finish results.
- Make sure there are no loose knots, nails, staples, dirt or foreign objects in the workpiece to be planed.
- Use extra caution with large, warped, very small or awkward workpieces. Joint warped boards flat before planing.
- Use extra supports (roller stands, saw horses, tables etc,) for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
- Plane wood in the same direction of the grain, not across the grain. Never plane end cuts or end grain.
- Plane only one workpiece at a time. Vary the feeding of the workpieces along the cutterhead, center/left/right, so that all of the knives get used and thus remain sharp, longer.
- Never reach inside of a running machine, and avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or a hand to move into the cutterhead.
- Do not clear a jammed workpiece while the machine is running. Stop the planer, unplug it from the power source, and then remove the jammed workpiece. Lowering the table may be necessary to dislodge the workpiece.
- Keep your face and body to one side of the planer during use, out of line with a possible 'kick back' (lumber caught in by the rotating cutterhead and thrown back towards the operator).
- The use of any accessories or attachments not recommended may cause injury to you and damage your machine.
- Sharpen or replace dull or chipped knives immediately, as injury to the user, or the machine, may result.
- Replacement knives/inserts should be from, or through a source recommended by the manufacturer.
- Remove material or debris from the work area. Keep work area neat and clean.

INSTALLING THE PLANER

CAUTION
When moving the planer, DO NOT carry it with the infeed and outfeed rollers. Use a forklift, or pallet jack under the machine to lift and move the planer.
- Position the planer on a solid, level foundation that is located in an area that ample space in front and in back of the planer for the moving of lumber to be milled. Align the machine so that during use, any kickback will not face aisles, doorways, or other work areas that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or use the machine in damp or wet conditions.
- The planer is firmly bolted to a pallet with 4 bolts and nuts. Once the planer is in the area where it will reside, unbolt the planer from the pallet. The bolts are located through the two openings at the bottom sides of the planer. Carefully inch-it off the pallet by pushing the lower body/frame of the planer. DO NOT push the upper lid as this may damage the machine. FIG. 1.
- Secure the machine to the floor with lag screws (not supplied). Use the same 4 holes that secured the planer to the pallet for transport.
INSTALLING THE HAND WHEEL
The hand wheel, which raises and lowers the planer's table, must be installed. FIG. 2.
- Slip the Hand Wheel (#87) onto the crank bar shaft (#91). Position the wheel so that the flat section on the shaft is aligned with the set screw that is pre-installed in the hub of the handwheel.
- Secure the wheel in place with the Set Screw (#86).

FIG. 3
INSTALLING THE EXTENSION TABLES
Two Extension Tables with three rollers are supplied with the planer to help support lumber as it enters and exits the planer during use. FIG. 4.
- Mount the two extension tables onto each edge of the planer's table (#80) with the three bolts, washers and nuts supplied (#223, 224, 225). Do not fully tighten.
- The rollers on the extension tables should be level with the planer's table. Use a straight edge to align the tables' height with the planer's table.
- Once the extension tables are positioned level with the table, secure them in place by tightening the fasteners (Step 1).
INSTALLING DUST HOSE
It is extremely important that a dust collection system is used with this planer to eliminate harmful airborne dust, prevent the build-up of chips that may jam the roller system in the cutterhead, and to keep the working area clean of debris.
The planer is supplied with a 4-3/8" dust port which is part of the Upper Cover (#13) assembly. FIG. 5.
A 4-3/8" to 4" Adapter is also supplied to connect flexible 4" dust hose to the planer. Make sure all connections are secure and your dust collector is turned on before any milling of lumber is done.

OPERATION
This machine is intended for surface thickness planing of natural, solid woods. The permissible workpiece dimensions must be observed. Any other use not as specified, including modification of the machine or use of parts not tested and approved by the equipment manufacturer can cause unforeseen damage.
THICKNESSING
NOTE: Thickness planing is used to reduce lumber with one already flattened surface, to a desired thickness.
- The surface that is already milled flat should rest down on the planer bed.
- The lumber is then run through the planer.
- The planer cuts the upper surface of the lumber, so the top surface is flat and parallel with the bottom surface and at a consistent thickness.
WORKPIECE DIMENSIONS
- Length: minimum 8-13/16"; for lumber over 72" use a second person for support, or auxiliary rollers.
- Width: maximum of 16".
- Thickness: minimum of 1/4", maximum 8-13/16".
NOTE: The maximum depth of cut for a single pass is 1/8". For best cutting action and final surface results, it is best to take multiple small cuts of 1/16" or less, rather than deeper cuts, especially on wide boards.
PLANER TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The Hand Wheel controls the height setting for the planer's bed and the final planed thickness of your lumber (thickness of the workpiece after planing).
CAUTION
A maximum of 1/8" material can be removed in one pass through the planer. Do not exceed this depth of cut or damage to your machine may result. The maximum thickness of stock to be planed is 16", and the maximum width of boards is 8-13/16".
-
Height adjustment is made with the hand wheel (FIG. 6, A). One full turn of the hand wheel changes the height of the planer bed (B) by 1/8".
-
Clockwise turning = raises the planer bed.
-
Counter-clockwise turning = lowers the planer bed.
-
The planing thickness is indicated on the Scale (C).
-
After preliminary cuts are made on all of your lumber, and the final thickness is settled, the table can be locked with the Lever (D). This is useful to ensure the setting will not change throughout the planing process, especially if a lot of lumber is to be planed at the same thickness.
PLANER FEED RATE SPEED CHANGE
The feed speeds of this machine can be adjusted by the handle (#155). FIG. 7.
- Start the motor.
- Turn the handle clockwise, the feed speed will be increased.
- Turn the handle counter-clockwise, the feed speed will decrease.
NOTE: The feed speed changing handle only can be operated when the motor is running. DO NOT change the feed speed while a board is being planed. Damage to the machine may result.

FIG. 7
OPERATION
PLANER OPERATION
Before turning on the planer, review the safety precautions listed on pages 3 to 6, and the operating instructions on pages 6 and 10. Make sure that you fully understand the features, adjustments and capabilities of the machine that are outlined throughout this manual.
-
To feed the workpiece into the machine, assume proper operating position, FIG. 8. Stand offset to one side of the feed opening to avoid any kick-back, should it occur. Do not push the lumber once the infeed roller has been engaged. Let the infeed roller move the workpiece into the planer at its own pace.
-
To remove the workpiece from the machine, position yourself offset to one side of the outfeed opening. FIG. 9. Do not pull the lumber as it exits the machine. Let the out-feed roller move the workpiece out of the planer at its own rate, but support the lumber as it extends past the extension rollers, if needed.
-
Do not plane boards that are less than 6" long. Short boards should be planed end to end with other boards to prevent kick-back and snipe.
- Boards longer than 24" should have additional support as they enter and exit the planer, so that they do not tip up or down, causing snipe on the ends.
- Run boards through the planer at different positions along the width of the bed to utilize the full length of the cutting knives. Planing only in the center, or through one side of the planer, will quickly dull the knives in that area.
SNIPE
The term 'snipe' refers to the depression that may occur at the front or rear of a board during planing. It is caused by uneven pressure on the cutterhead when a board is fed into the planer, or when exiting. FIG. 10.
Avoid snipe by keeping your lumber firmly down onto the planer bed at the beginning of the cut, and also at the end of the cutting action, as the lumber exits the planer.
ON/OFF SWITCHES
The planer is equipped with a standard, push button ON/OFF safety switch (#204) located on the right side of the machine. FIG. 11. Push the top green button to start the planer. Push the lower red button to stop the planer.
An additional automatic OFF safety micro-switch (#206) is located under the cover (FIG. 12, A). Should the cover ever be opened, this switch will prevent the machine from operating. NOTE: When working on the planer, the machine should always have the red, OFF button engaged and the cord unplugged from the power source.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE.
ROTATING OR REPLACING KNIFE INSERTS
This machine has a helical cutterhead with four rows of carbide knife inserts. Each of the 72 inserts on the cutterhead are indexed and have four sharpened sides. If the knives become dull, or one becomes nicked, simply loosen the retaining screws with the supplied star head screwdriver, lift up and rotate the inserts to a new sharpened edge. No setting is required, as the cutterhead has been machined to automatically index and set the inserts in proper position for use. When all four sides of an insert are dull, the insert can be easily removed and a new carbide insert placed in the location. To rotate or remove a carbide insert knife:
- Unplug power cable.
- Remove the Screw (#217), that holds the Insert in the cutterhead, and the Insert knife (#216). FIG. 13.
- While the insert is removed, clean any resin buildup or trapped dust from the surfaces of the cutterhead with a suitable solvent. A tooth brush works well for safe cleaning around the sharp inserts. Any accumulated dust can affect the seating of the insert in the cutterhead.
- Rotate the insert so that a new sharpened edge is in position. The inserts have a indication mark on their top surface corner, so that you can reference the positioning of the insert's dulled or sharpened edges. FIG. 13 -16.
- Tighten the insert's set screw to lock the insert back in position. DO NOT overtighten the screw or damage to the insert may result. Torque to 50-55 in/lbs.
- Plug in the power cable when you are ready to resume jointing and planing.
PLANER TABLE ALIGNMENT
The machine has been factory set before shipping - the planer's table being set parallel to the cutterhead knives. But once the machine has been set in its final location in the shop, the table alignment should be checked to make sure that there has been no movement during its handling.

ADJUSTMENTS
Planer Table Alignment continued from page 12
- Make sure that the planer/jointer's switch is turned off, and the plug is disconnected from the power source.
NOTE: The cutterhead is fixed in position and any adjustments of the must be made through the planer table's setting. FIG. 17
-
To confirm that the planer table is set parallel to the cutterhead, measurements from the table surface to the underside of the cutterhead are made. The distance from the far right side of the planer's table should be the same as the distance taken at the far left of the table.
-
Place a Gauge Block (FIG. 18), or other measuring tool, onto the planer table and directly under the cutterhead at one end (Position R).
-
Raise the table until with the hand wheel until the gauge block makes contact with the cutterhead knife inserts, or the solid body of the cutterhead cylinder.
-
Move the gauge block to the other side of the table (Position L) to check to see if the gauge block is at the same measurement. If the distance is not the same, then the planer table has to be adjusted to make up this difference.
NOTE: Since the cutterhead is of a helical design, care must be taken to make the measurements at the same spot on the either end of the head. This may require that the cutterhead be rotated so that the gauge block comes in contact with either the knife inserts or body, same as was used on the first measurement taken.
ADJUSTING THE PLANER TABLE
-
The planer table assembly is attached to the cabinet by four Hex Bolts (#104A, FIG. 19, A). Next to these bolts are four Hex Socket Screws (#104, B) that can be adjusted to raise an end of the planer table so that it will be parallel with the cutterhead.
-
Slightly loosen the four hex bolts at the corners of the base plate.
-
Depending on which side of the planer's table needs to be raised, turn the hex screws at that side of the base to raise the base/table.
-
Repeat measuring with the gauge block and making adjustments until the table is parallel with the cutterhead.
-
Once the table and cutterhead are parallel, tighten the four hex bolts to secure the fasteners in place.
-
Remove the gauge block from the mouth of the planer and check all parts to confirm the machine is ready for use.

ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE CUTTERHEAD
The Cutterhead that holds the knife inserts is fastened to the machine's cabinet, and is not adjustable. Based on the position of this main component of the machine, all of the other parts - rollers and tables - are then preset by the factory to align with the cutterhead. Should any of the tables or rollers get out of parallel with the cutterhead, they can be adjusted separately following the instructions in this manual.
NOTE: The Cutterhead's Guard / Chip Breaker (#53, FIG. 20) is also preset by the factory to align correctly with the cutterhead. This guard must never be removed except for adjustments or maintenance purposes to the cutterhead assembly.
The Infeed (#65) and Outfeed (#66) Rollers are preset by the factory to align parallel with the cutterhead and knife inserts. These spring loaded rollers are set just below the cutterhead, so that they engage the lumber and move it through the planer. Should an adjustment be required to increase or decrease the amount of downward pressure they exert on the lumber, the following steps are needed.
- Make sure that the planer's switch is turned off, and the plug is disconnected from the power source.
- Lift the planer's upper Cover (#13) to access the cutterhead assembly. FIG. 21 & 22.
- Adjusting Downward Pressure for the Feed Rollers is done by the Springs (#47, A) positioned above the Roller Shaft ends (C). Adjusting the pressure is done with the Set Screws (#48, B) that are above the springs.
- By raising the hex nuts UP, the spring compression is reduced and the downward pressure on the rollers is decreased upon the lumber being fed through the planer.
- By screwing the hex nuts DOWN more, the spring compression is increased, and the rollers exert more pressure down onto the lumber.
NOTE: For changing of Roller Pressure, adjust the four springs first, as changing the rollers' height (below) may affect the rollers parallel alignment with the cutterhead.
-
Adjusting Feed Roller Height. Under the roller shafts, the Hex Bolts and Nuts (#46, 45, D) can be turned with an offset wrench to raise or lower the feed rollers as needed to remain parallel to the cutterhead or to adjust the roller pressure down on the lumber.
-
By raising the hex bolts UP, the roller height is raised. This will decrease the pressure upon the lumber being fed through the planer.
- By lowering the hex nuts DOWN, the roller height is lowered, and will exert more pressure down onto the lumber.
WARNING THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE.

FIG. 22
- Once the rollers are set, unlatch and lower the cover and the machine is ready to be plugged back in for use.
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING DRIVE BELTS
The cutterhead drive belt and the feed gear drive belt need to be checked periodically and re-tightened if necessary. Belts will stretch with use, especially when they are new and are breaking in. Both drive belts are located behind the machine's side panel. FIG. 23, A & B.
WARNING THE PLANER MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE.
CHECKING THE DRIVE BELT
- Make sure that the planer's switch is turned off, and the plug is disconnected from the power source.
- Remove the Speed Control Knob (#155, FIG. 23, B)
- Take off the left side panel (#4, FIG. 23, A) by loosening the six hex head screws (#3) that secure the panel to the cabinet, and also lift up the cutterhead cover (#13) to reveal the motor, pulleys and belts.
- Check the drive belt tension with finger/thumb pressure. The drive belt should not deflect more than 3/8" to 1/2" in the center. FIG. 24.
TENSIONING THE DRIVE BELTS
- Check the Cutterhead Drive Belt (#145, FIG. 25, A) tension with thumb pressure. The drive belt should not give more than 3/8" to 1/2" in the center.
- From outside, rear of the machine, loosen the four Nuts (#144, B) that secure the motor in place. Lift the motor to slacken the tension on the drive belt, or move it down to increase the belt tension.
- When the belt tension is correct, tighten the motor mounting nuts that were done in step 4.
- The Feed Roller Belt (#152, C) is automatically tensioned with the wheel bracket Spring (#184, D) and requires no adjustments.
- The Feed Roller Chain (#140, E) is factory set and should not require any setting changes. However, to increase or decrease the chain overlap, the Bearing with Sleeve (#228, F) can be adjusted in or out with the Carriage Bolt & Nut (#131, 135).
NOTE: While the side panel and cutterhead cover are open, remove any chips and dust that may have accumulated with a dust collector or brush.
CAUTION: Keep your hands clear of the sharp knives.

ADJUSTMENTS
Drive Belt Adjustment continued from page 15
- When all belts have been checked and any maintenance has been done, replace and secure the side panel and speed control knob back to their positions with the screws that were previously removed (In steps 2 & 3).
REPLACING THE DRIVE BELTS
- To replace the Cutterhead Drive Belt (#145, FIG. 26, A), follow the same steps, #2-6 above (page 15) to remove the side panel and access the belts and pulleys. Loosen the tension until both the Cutterhead Drive Belt and the Feed Roller Belt (#152, B) can be easily removed from both their pulleys.
The small Panel (#150, C) that surrounds the speed control arbor must be removed to slide the two used belts off of the motor arbor. Once removed, reverse the steps to install and re-tension the new belts on their pulleys. - To replace the Feed Roller Belt (#152, B), the small Panel (C) must first be removed. With the motor loose and lifted, there should be enough slack to install a new Feed Roller Belt. If not, the tensioning Spring (#184, D) can also be unhooked to allow the Cam Wheel Bracket (#185) to swing loose. Re-fastened the spring once the belt has been installed. Then reverse the steps to install the drive belt and re-tension it on the pulleys.
- When all work on the belts has been done, replace the small panel, cabinet side panel, and the speed control knob and secure them in position with the same screws that were previously removed.
ALIGNING THE PULLEYS
The pulley positions for the belts are preset at the factory for proper alignment to each other. If they are not set correctly, excess wear to the belts and power transfer may be reduced. While the side panel is open, the pulleys should be checked to make sure that no movement has occurred during use.
- With a metal straight edge, or perfectly flat board, place the straight edge against the faces of the two pulleys that are connected by the same belt. FIG. 27.
- If the straight edge does not lie flat on both of the pulley faces, one or both of the pulleys must be moved to correct this miss-alignment.
- Loosen the pulleys' set screws and shift the pulleys along their shafts until they are properly aligned.
- Tighten the pulley set screws and them re-check the belt tension as described on page 15.
WARNING THE PLANER MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Turn the power switch "OFF" and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior to adjusting or maintaining the machine.
1. Before each use:
- Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.
- Check for any loose screws or hardware.
- Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc. that could hamper the safe operation of the planer.
- To avoid a build-up of wood dust, regularly clean all parts of the machine using a soft cloth, brush or compressed air. A general cleaning should be done after every use to avoid future problems and ensure the machine is in ready condition for the next time it is used.
WARNING: If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to prevent debris from blowing into eyes.
Avoid using high pressure near ball bearings seals as this may weaken the seals and allow lubricant to leak out, or force contaminants into the bearing.
- Check the knives to make sure that they are not loose from the cutterhead, dull or nicked. Making sure that they are in proper operating condition will ensure that the quality of your surfaced lumber will be the best possible.
-
Lubricate all bearing points and chains regularly with a few drops of light motor oil. Cutterhead ball bearings are lifetime lubricated, sealed, and do not need any further care. Keep the drive belts free of oil and grease.
-
Clean the planer bed columns on a regular basis to prevent the build-up of wood chips and dust. Treat the posts with a dry lubricant spray. Do not use ordinary oil which will collect dust and hamper the operation of the machine.
- Keep the jointer and planer tables free of resin and rust. Clean them regularly with a non-flammable solvent, then coat with a light film of dry lubricant spray, or wax, to enhance passage of workpiece on/over the tables.
WARNING: When cleaning or working on the tables, avoid the risk of personal injury by cuts that may result from touching the knife inserts' sharp edges! Lower the planer table to its maximum 'down' position, so that there is ample distance between the table and the cutterhead.
- Clean the feed rollers with a soft rag, and non-flammable solvent if there is resin build-up on the metal rollers. Do not apply solvents on a 'rubber' coated roller, as it may affect the material. Be careful to keep hands away from the sharp cutterhead knife inserts. Do not apply any lubricant to the rollers as they must 'grab' the lumber to move it through the planer and so must not slip.
- Check the anti-kickback fingers to make sure that they are clean of any dust or resin, so that they swing freely. Lubricate only with a dry lubricant, never oil or grease.
- Check the belt tension after the first 3-5 hrs. of operation to ensure that the belts have not become stretched and loose from their 'breaking in' use. See page 15 for instructions.
