Lifting & Moving
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.
The planer is equipped with four lifting bars that
extend in order to lift and place the planer, as shown
in Figure 10.
The rear wheels and front feet mount to the bottom
of the machine. Therefore, the best time to assemble
these components is while the machine is elevated
safely by the forklift.
1. Use forklift to lift machine off pallet (see Figure
10).
Tip: When positioning lift forks, place shop rags
or cardboard between forks and cabinet stand to
avoid scratching paint.

To lift and place machine:

2. Remove the pin and hex bolt that are already
mounted in the foot pedal bracket.
3. Align the caster assembly with the mounting
holes in the foot pedal bracket.
4. Insert the hex bolt into the hole in the back side
of the caster assembly, and tighten the bolt just
enough for it to be snug without hampering the
pivot action of the caster.
5. Attach the foot pedal to the caster and secure
together by inserting the pin between the two
parts.
6. Lock the caster and pedal (see Figure 11) in
place with the E-clip and washers.
