MOTOR
The planer is assembled with motor and wiring
installed. The 230 Volt AC capacitor start motor has the
following specifications:
Horsepower ................................. 3
Voltage ................................... 230
Amperes ................................. 16.5
Hertz ..................................... 60
Phase .................................. Single
RPM .................................... 3450
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 3.
WARNING: All electrical connections must be per-
formed by a qualified electrician. Make sure unit is off
and disconnected from power source while motor is
mounted, connected, reconnected or anytime wiring is
inspected.
Planer has an approved 230 volt three-conductor line
cord and a 230 volt magnetic contactor that is prewired
in the factory (See Figure 3).

To Motor
Figure 3 - Magnetic Contactor Wiring Schematic
Install an approved plug onto the line cord. Connect to
a matching outlet that has been properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
• The tool has a key lock switch to prevent unautho-
rized use. Turn key lock switch to OFF and remove
key when tool is not in use.
NOTE: The motor will not start if the key is in the OFF
position
• Connect planer to a supply circuit protected by a 30
AMP circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The magnetic contactor has overload protection that
helps to prevent damage to the motor. The overload
protection will automatically turn off the magnetic con-
tactor when an overload occurs. Set thermal overload to
22 Amps. Be sure to disconnect planer from power
source when resetting overload protector. The protec-
tion is reset by opening the contactor box and pressing
the reset button.
CHECK CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 4.
• Plug in the line cord to a 230 volt power source.
• Turn the key to ON.
• Depress the start button. The motor must rotate
counterclockwise facing shaft end.
• Depress the stop button. The motor must stop.
• Depressing the start button with either the stop
button pressed down or the key in OFF position
must not start the motor.
• If any of the above steps do not work properly, dis-
connect planer from power source and recheck the
connections.
