Warnings Read the manual. Always read the owner’s manual carefully before attempting to use the machine. Know the limitations and hazards associated with the use of this planer. Installation. If mounting machine to the floor, use high quality anchor bolts through the mounting holes on the base. If using a mobile base, be sure to lock the wheels. Eye protection. Always wear approved safety goggles, glasses, or a face shield when operating this machine.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles. Safety Decals Familiarize yourself with the location and content of these decals on your planer. ! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Read instruction manual before operating machine.

Receiving Carefully unpack the planer and any loose items from the wood crate and inspect for damage. Any damage should be reported immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Before proceeding further, read your manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and safety procedures. Remove the screws that hold the planer to the shipping skid.
Handwheel 1. Remove the nut and washer from the gearbox shaft, and place the handwheel onto the shaft (Fig. 5), making sure it is oriented so the handwheel slips over the key. 2. Place flat washer and hex nut on shaft and tighten with wrench. 3. Mount the handle in the threaded hole in the handwheel, and tighten with a wrench placed over the flat on the handle.
Electrical Connections Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. The machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury. A power plug is not provided with the 208 planer. You may either connect one or "hard-wire" the machine directly to your electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near the machine. Consult the wiring diagrams on pages 32-35 for further clarification of wiring setup.
2. Check belt tension. Proper tension is obtained when there is approximately 1/4” deflection of the center span of the pulleys using light finger pressure (Fig. 10). Figure 10 3. If adjustment of belt tension is necessary, loosen one pair of hex nuts (E & F, Fig. 11) and turn the other pair to raise or lower the motor plate. Re-tighten nuts. Figure 11 Table Rollers Overview Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A, Fig.
Note: When raising the roller higher above the table, the available range is from .003” to .006” See Fig. 13. Figure 13 The table rollers are factory set for average planing and are parallel to the table surface. If you desire to adjust the table rollers higher or lower, proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Lay a straight edge (B, Fig. 14) across both rollers. 3. On one side of the table, loosen the screws (C, Fig. 14) with a hex wrench, and turn the eccentric shafts (D, Fig.
Adjusting Depth of Cut The cutting depth scale (A, Fig. 16) is a combination inch/metric scale with a cutting range from 0 to 8” (204mm). The distance of upward or downward movement is controlled by the handwheel (B, Fig. 16). One revolution of the handwheel is .059” (1.5mm). Before moving the table up or down, loosen the lock nuts (C, Fig. 16). After obtaining the proper table position, tighten the lock nuts (C, Fig. 16). Always tighten the lock nuts before operating the planer.
NOTE: At this time, only tighten the knife in the slot just enough to hold knife in position. 6. If additional knives must be reset, repeat step 5. 7. After all four knives are set with screws just snug, back out and tighten the six locking screws (F, Fig. 19 & 20), against the slot starting with the end screws first, then the center screws, until the knife is securely held in the cutterhead. Tighten remaining three knives in the same manner. Important: Double check all screws for tightness.
10. Replace and reset the other three knives in the same manner. 11. After all four knives are set with the screws just snug, back out and tighten the six screws (F) against the slot starting with the end screws first and then the center screws until the knife is securely held in the cutterhead. Tighten the remaining three knives in the same manner. After replacing and checking knives, CHECK AGAIN carefully.
1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Place the gauge block (Figure 21) on the work table directly under the edge of a knife or knife insert as shown. Make slight contact with the knife edge by gently raising the table. 3. Move the gauge block to the opposite end of the work table. The distance from the work table to the edge of the knife should be the same on both ends of the knife.
Anti-Kickback Fingers The anti-kickback fingers (A, Fig 23) help prevent kickback of stock. They operate by gravity and it is necessary to inspect them occasionally to make sure they are free of gum and pitch, so that they move independently and operate correctly. Adjusting Infeed & Outfeed Roller Spring Tension To adjust the spring tension of the infeed and outfeed rollers, turn screws (G & H, Fig. 24) with a hex wrench. Turn screws on opposite end of infeed/outfeed rollers in the same manner.
4. Move the gauge block (J, Fig. 27) under one end of the outfeed roller (F, Fig. 27). The bottom of the outfeed roller should just touch the top of the gauge block. If an adjustment to the outfeed roller is necessary, loosen the lock nut (L, Fig 27) and turn screw (M, Fig. 27) until the outfeed roller just touches the gauge block. Then tighten lock nut (L, Fig. 27). 5. Check and adjust opposite end of the outfeed roller in the same manner. 4. When the sprockets (B, Fig.
Lubrication Maintenance The bearings on the cutterhead are factory lubricated and sealed for life – no lubrication required. Periodic or regular inspections are required to ensure that the machine is in proper adjustment, that all screws are tight, that belts are in good condition, that dust has not accumulated in the electrical enclosures, and that there are no worn or loose electrical connections. The lubricant in the gearbox must be replaced every 2,500 hours.
[The item numbers on this chart are referenced with the accompanying illustrations.] No.
Troubleshooting Operating Problems Problem Snipe. (Snipe cannot be eliminated, but can be minimized so as to become negligible.) Fuzzy Grain Torn Grain Rough/Raised Grain Rounded, glossy surface Poor feeding of lumber Possible Cause Solution Table rollers not set properly. Adjust rollers to proper height. Inadequate support of long boards. Support long boards with extension rollers. Uneven feed roller pressure front to back. Adjust feed roller tension. Dull Knives. Sharpen knives.
Problem Chain jumping. Machine will not start/restart or repeatedly trips circuit breaker or blows fuses. Possible Cause Solution Inadequate tension. Adjust chain tension. Sprockets misaligned. Align sprockets. Sprockets worn. Replace sprockets. No incoming power. Verify unit is connected to power. Overload automatic reset has not reset. When planer overloads on the circuit breaker built into the motor starter, it takes time for the machine to cool down before restart.
Problem Possible Cause Miswiring of the unit. On/off switch failure. Solution Double check to confirm all electrical connections are correct and tight. Refer to wiring diagrams on pages 32-35 to make any needed corrections. If the on/off switch is suspect you have two options: Have a qualified electrician test the switch for function, or purchase a new on/off switch and establish if that was the problem on changeout.
