SETUP
• Floor Load: This machine distributes a
heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
operator.
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your planer/moulder.
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of your
planer/moulder are coated with a waxy grease
that protects them from corrosion during
shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use
chlorine-based solvents such as brake parts
cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash
some onto a painted surface, you may ruin the
finish.
Machine Placement
MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to children by closing and
locking all entrances when
you are away. NEVER allow
untrained visitors in your
shop when assembling,
adjusting or operating
equipment.
USE helpers or power
lifting equipment to
lift the planer/moulder.
Otherwise, serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
NEVER clean with gasoline
or other petroleum-
based solvents. Most have
low flash points, which
make them extremely
flammable. A risk of
explosion and burning
exists if these products
are used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored!
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.
