SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Machine The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts. HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material.
Additional Safety for Planers Amputation, serious cuts, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving parts! Flying chips can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces or knives thrown by cutterhead can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below. KICKBACK. Know how to reduce the risk of kickback and kickback-related injuries.
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Circuit Information Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Grounding Requirements This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
SECTION 3: SETUP Needed for Setup This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before starting the machine! Wear safety glasses during the entire setup process! The following items are needed, but not included, for the setup/assembly of this machine. Description Qty • Additional People........................................ 1 • Safety Glasses.........................
Inventory The following is a list of items shipped with your machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory them. If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store. NOTICE If you cannot find an item on this list, carefully check around/inside the machine and packaging materials.
Cleanup The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean. Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
Site Considerations Weight Load Physical Environment Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.
Lifting & Placing Lifting Bar x1 HEAVY LIFT! Straining or crushing injury may occur from improperly lifting machine or some of its parts. To reduce this risk, get help from other people and use a forklift (or other lifting equipment) rated for weight of this machine. Figure 9. Installing lifting bar (viewed from under machine). 3. Repeat Steps 1–2 with remaining three lifting bars. The planer comes with four lifting bars that must be installed in order to lift and place the planer.
Bench Mounting Stand Mounting Number of Mounting Holes............................. 4 Diameter of Mounting Hardware Needed... 3 ⁄ 8" This machine can be mounted to an optional stand: Model T27650 (see Page 27 for details). The base of this machine has mounting holes that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or other mounting surface to prevent it from moving during operation and causing accidental injury or damage.
Assembly The machine must be fully assembled before it can be operated. Before beginning the assembly process, refer to Needed for Setup and gather all listed items. To ensure the assembly process goes smoothly, first clean any parts that are covered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if applicable). To assemble planer, thread feed rate control knob onto feed rate shaft, and Install dust hood using four pre-installed flange screws (see Figures 14–15).
Test Run Once assembly is complete, test run the machine to ensure it is properly connected to power and safety components are functioning correctly. If you find an unusual problem during the test run, immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the machine again. The Troubleshooting table in the SERVICE section of this manual can help. To test run machine: 1. Clear all setup tools away from machine. 2.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Overview The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so the machine controls/components discussed later in this manual are easier to understand. Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide.
Workpiece Inspection Some workpieces are not safe to use or may require modification before they are. Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following: • • • • • • -22- Material Type: This machine is only intended for workpieces of natural wood fiber Attempting to use workpieces of any other material that may break apart during operation could lead to serious personal injury and property damage.
Planing Tips • Inspect your lumber for twisting or cupping, and surface one face on a jointer if necessary before planing workpiece. • Scrape off all glue when planing glued-up panels. Dried glue can quickly dull knives. • DO NOT plane more than one piece at a time. • Never remove more than the recommended amount of material on each pass. Only remove a small amount of material on each pass when planing wide or dense stock. • Support the workpiece on both ends.
Pitch & Glue Build-up Problem: Glue and resin buildup on the rollers and cutterhead will cause overheating by decreasing cutting sharpness while increasing drag in the feed mechanism. The result can include scorched lumber, uneven knife marks, and chatter. Solution: Clean the rollers and cutterhead. Chip Marks or Indentations Problem: Chip indentation or chip bruising is the result of wood chips not being thrown away from the cutterhead and out of the machine.
Setting Feed Rate The infeed and outfeed rollers move the workpiece through the planer while keeping it flat and providing a consistent rate of movement. The speed that these rollers move the workpiece through the planer is the feed rate. Generally, low feed rates are used for dimensioning passes, while higher feed rates are used for finishing passes. Adjusting/Replacing Knives To reduce risk of shock or accidental startup, always disconnect machine from power before adjustments, maintenance, or service.

SECTION 7: SERVICE Review the troubleshooting procedures in this section if a problem develops with your machine. If you need replacement parts or additional help with a procedure, call our Technical Support. Note: Please gather the serial number and manufacture date of your machine before calling. Troubleshooting Motor & Electrical Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution Machine does not start or a breaker trips. 1. Incorrect power supply voltage or circuit size. 2.
Machine Operation Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution Excessive snipe (gouge in end of board that is uneven with rest of cut). 1. Chipbreaker set too low. 2. Workpiece is not supported as it leaves planer. 3. Some snipe is inevitable. 1. Raise height of chipbreaker (Page 39). 2. Hold workpiece up slightly as it leaves outfeed end of planer. 3. Plane lumber longer than your intended workpiece length, then cut off excess after planing complete. Workpiece stops/ slows in middle of cut. 1.
Tensioning/ Replacing V-Belts To tension/replace V-belts: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER! 2. Remove upper and lower V-belt cover from left side of machine to expose belts, as shown in Figure 47. After approximately 16 hours of operation, V-belts will stretch and seat into pulley grooves and need to be properly tensioned to avoid severely reducing life of V-belts.
5. Tensioning Height Chain To adjust V-belt tension, rotate belt tension adjustment bolt (see Figure 48) to raise or lower motor until belts are correctly tensioned. Note: V-belts are correctly tensioned when there is approximately 3⁄8" deflection when moderate pressure is applied to them midway between pulleys, as illustrated in Figure 49. Motor Pulley Approximately 3 ⁄8" Deflection The height chain transfers movement from the headstock height handwheel to the columns that control headstock height.
Feed Rollers & Chip Breaker Heights It is essential that the feed rollers and chip breaker are set at the correct distance below the cutterhead knives at BDC (bottom dead center) to ensure that the workpiece moves through the planer evenly and the correct distance from the cutterhead knives. To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment process quicker and easier, we recommend using a Rotacator for these adjustments (see Accessories, on Page 27).
6. Move feed speed knob to neutral position to allow infeed roller to freely rotate. 7. Keeping Rotacator dial at "0", position it under right-hand side of infeed roller and find BDC of a serrated edge by rocking infeed roller back and forth. 8. Loosen jam nuts and use cap screws on each side of feed roller (see Figure 53) to adjust height of infeed roller bushing block until Rotacator dial shows 0.040", which is the recommended distance for infeed roller below cutterhead.
Using Wood Blocks Tools Needed Qty Phillips Screwdriver #2....................................... 1 Hex Wrench 4, 5mm.....................................1 Ea. Open-End Wrench or Socket 8, 10mm........1 Ea. 2x4 6' Long......................................................... 1 Feeler Gauge Set............................................... 1 6. Remove dust hood, top cover, belt cover, and drive chain cover. 7. Lower headstock until cutterhead gets close to wood blocks. 8.
Adjusting Roller Spring Tension 12. Repeat Steps 10–11 with outfeed roller, only adjust the gaps to 0.020". 13. Loosen jam nuts and cap screws on each side of chip breaker (see Figure 57). 14. Using a feeler gauge, adjust cap screw so it is 0.040" from cross bar (see Figure 57), then tighten jam nut. Repeat on other side of chip breaker. Cap Screw & Jam Nut Insert Feeler Gauge Here The infeed and outfeed rollers keep the workpiece moving through the planer.
Positioning Chip Deflector Anti-Kickback Fingers Chip Deflector Gap Setting...................... 1⁄ 16"–1⁄ 8" The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety feature of your planer. The fingers hang from a rod suspended across the head casting and in front of the infeed roller, as shown in Figure 60. This design allows the workpiece to easily enter the planer but reduces the risk of kickback by digging into the workpiece if it moves backward.
