SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT! Safety is the single most important consideration in the operation of this equipment. The following instructions must be followed at all times. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. We strongly recommend that this tool not be modified and/or used for any other application other than that for which it was designed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 12. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER. 25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL SAFETY EXTENSION CORDS THIS TOOL REQUIRES THE INSTALLATION OF A 220V PLUG (NOT INCLUDED), AND MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS MACHINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. FOR BEST POWER AND SAFETY, PLUG THE MACHINE DIRECTLY INTO A DEDICATED GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET THAT IS WITHIN THE SUPPLIED CORD LENGTH OF THE MACHINE.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANER / JOINTERS This machine is intended for the surfacing of natural, solid woods. The permissible workpiece dimensions must be observed (see Technical Specification). 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. ATTENTION: Use of this planer/jointer still presents risks that cannot be eliminated by the manufacturer.

Cabinet CONTENTS OF PACKAGE Carefully unpack your machine from its carton.
INSTALLATION MOVING & INSTALLING THE PLANER When moving the planer/jointer, 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, or with straps or battens placed under the planer bed. FIG. 1, A. 1. Position the machine on a solid, level foundation that is located in an area that ample space in front and in back of the planer/jointer for the moving of lumber to be milled.
ASSEMBLY JOINTER FENCE INSTALLATION For shipping purposes, the Sliding Fence Bracket (#293) is installed incorrectly, backwards, extending above the table surface. FIG. 3, A. This bracket must be reversed before installing the fence. A WARNING: When working on, or near the machine's bed, avoid the risk of personal injury by cuts that may result from touching the knife inserts' sharp edges! 1. Remove the Hex Bolts (#294) that attach the bracket to the table casting, and turn the bracket around 180 degrees.
ADJUSTMENTS JOINTER FENCE ADJUSTMENT The jointer fence provides lateral support for the workpiece when surface planing. C 1. After loosening the Locking Handle (#292, FIG.7, A), the jointer fence can be moved forward or backwards over the jointer bed and cutterhead, to match the workpiece width. B 2. The jointer fence can be tilted to any angle between 90°- 45°. To adjust the fence angle, loosen the ratchet Locking Handle (#291, B) and Pin Stop Knob (#288, C). 3.
ADJUSTMENTS PLANER TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Height adjustment of the planer's table is made with the Handwheel (#193, FIG. 11, A). One full turn of the crank changes the height of the Planer's Table (#386, B) by 5/32". - Clockwise Turning = raises the planer bed - Counter-Clockwise Turning = lowers the planer bed. B The planing thickness is indicated on the Scale (#172, C). C A maximum of 1/8" material can be removed in one pass through the planer.
ADJUSTMENTS THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ADUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE. ROTATING OR REPLACING KNIFE INSERTS INDEX MARK This machine has a helical cutterhead with four rows of carbide knife inserts. Each of the 56 inserts on the cutterhead are indexed and have four sharpened sides.
ADJUSTMENTS Table Alignment continued from page 12 NOTE: It may be easier to remove the fence assembly and guard for this exercise. STRAIGHT EDGE 3. Rotate the cutterhead so that the knife inserts do not interfere with the measurements that will be taken. 4. With a long metal straight edge, place it length-wise along the outfeed table so that it extends onto the infeed table. The straight edge should lie level across BOTH tables.
ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE INFEED TABLE THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE. The Infeed Table is pre-set by the factory to align with the cutterhead's knife inserts. Should an adjustment be required, the following steps are needed. 1. The outfeed table with the fence and cutterhead guard needs to be lifted up and back into a verticle position. See page 19, step 1 & 2 for full details on this process.
ADJUSTMENTS Planer Table Alignment continued from page 14 1. Make sure that the planer/jointer's switch is turned off, and the plug is disconnected from the power source. 2. The outfeed table with the fence and cutterhead guard needs to be lifted up and back into a verticle position. See page 19, step 1 & 2 for full details on this process. The Dust Chute (#30) should be pivoted up onto the infeed table in the planing use position, so adjustments can be made. FIG. 24.
ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE CUTTERHEAD THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE. The Cutterhead that holds the knife inserts is fastened to the machine's cabinet, and is not adjustable. Based on the postion of this main component of the machine, all of the other parts - rollers and tables - are then pre-set by the factory to align with the cutterhead.
Drive Belt Adjustment continued from page 16 ADJUSTMENTS To inspect, adjust or change the drive belts: 1. Make sure that the planer/jointer's switch is turned off, and the plug is disconnected from the power source. 2. Pull the fence forward, and remove the side panel and belt cover to expose the motor, pulleys and belts. FIG. 29. E D TENSIONING THE DRIVE BELTS 3. Check the Cutterhead Drive Belt (#222, FIG. 30, A) tension with thumb pressure. The drive belt should not give more than 3/8" in the center.
OPERATION Before turning on the machine, review the safety precautions listed on pages 3 to 6. Make sure that you fully understand the features, adjustments and capabilities of the machine that are outlined throughout this manual. JOINTER OPERATION The function of the jointer is to surface plane flat, one side or edge of a board/workpiece. To use the jointer: - Place the workpiece on top of the right, infeed table. - The workpiece will be cut on its underside by the rotating cutterhead knives. FIG. 34.
OPERATION PLANER OPERATION A Thickness planing is used to reduce a workpiece with one already surface planed surface to a desired thickness. To use the planer, the upper, outfeed jointer table & fence assembly must be tilted up and out of the way. FIG. 37. 1. Pull the jointer fence fully forward, and tighten the locking handle (FIG. 36, A) 2. Twist the clamping Handle (#143, FIG. 37, B) up and then pull it outward to release the outfeed table.
OPERATION Planer Operation continued from page 19 3. Set planing thickness. Measure your board's thickness and set the planer to this measurement, or 1/16" under this figure. For the initial pass, you do not want to take off an excessive amount of stock (over 1/8"), or damage to the planer may result. Repeated passes through the planer will get you to your final desired board thickness. - Make sure that there are no loose knots, nails, staples, dirt or foreign objects in the wood to be planed. 4.
MAINTENANCE Turn the power switch “OFF” and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior to adjusting or maintaining the machine. DO NOT attempt to repair or maintain the electrical components of the motor. Contact a qualified service technician for this type of maintenance. 6. 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. 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE MACHINE BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY TROUBLESHOOTING. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSES Machine will not start. 1. No power 2. Blown fuse 3. Main on/off switch or Micro switches are not functioning 4. Motor failure SOLUTIONS 1. Check power source, plug and wiring. 2. Check fuse, replace if it is blown. 3. Check position of the switches. Contact local dealer for repair or replacement. 4. Inspect motor for failed components.
