assembled and installed according to the instructions.
A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious
injury.
OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or
2.
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge
is safety.
3.
FOLLOW ALL WIRINg CODES and recommended
electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
4.
kEEP kNIVES SHARP and free from rust and pitch. Dull
or rusted knives work harder and can cause kickback.
NEVER TURN THE MACHINE "ON" before clearing the
5.
table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.). Flying
debris can cause serious injury.
6.
NEVER TURN THE MACHINE "ON" with the work- piece
contacting the cutterhead. Kickback can occur.
SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTINg SURFACE
7.
to prevent the machine from sliding, walking or tipping
over.
PROPERLY SECURE THE kNIVES IN THE CUTTER- HEAD
8.
before turning the power "ON". Loose blades may be
thrown out at high speeds causing serious injury.
DO NOT PLACE THE POWER CORD under the
9.
cutterhead when moving or storing.
10.
AVOID AWkWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI-
TIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into
the knives.
kEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINgERS away from the
11.
cutterhead, the chip exhaust opening, and the feed
rollers to prevent severe cuts.
NEVER REACH INTO THE CUTTERHEAD AREA while the
12.
machine is running. Your hands can be drawn into the
knives.
13.
DO NOT STAND IN LINE OF THE WORkPIECE.
Kickback can cause injury.
ALLOW THE CUTTERHEAD TO REACH FULL SPEED
14.
before feeding a workpiece.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a time delay fuse. NOTE: Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US. If
an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching
receptacle which will accept the machine's plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the
switch (s) is in the "OFF" position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the
machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make
sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.
gROUNDINg INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
15.
WHEN PLANINg BOWED STOCk, place the concave (cup
down) side of the stock on the table and cut with the
grain to prevent kickback.
16.
DO NOT FEED A WORkPIECE that is warped, contains
knots, or is embedded with foreign objects (nails,
staples, etc.). Kickback can occur.
17.
DO NOT FEED A SHORT, THIN, OR NARROW WORkPIECE
INTO THE MACHINE. Your hands can be drawn into the
knives and/or the workpiece can be thrown at high
speeds. See the "OPERATION" section of this instruction
manual for details.
DO NOT FEED A WORkPIECE into the outfeed end of
18.
the machine. The workpiece will be thrown out of the
opposite side at high speeds.
19.
REMOVE SHAVINgS ONLY with the power "OFF" to prevent
serious injury.
20.
USE FOR WOOD ONLY. Do not plane man-made
materials.
PROPERLY SUPPORT LONg OR WIDE WORk-PIECES.
21.
Loss of control of the workpiece can cause serious
injury.
22.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY or set-up work
on the table/work area when the machine is running.
Serious injury will result.
23.
TURN THE MACHINE "OFF", DISCONNECT IT FROM
THE POWER SOURCE, and clean the table/work area
before leaving the machine. LOCk THE SWITCH IN
THE "OFF" POSITION to prevent un-authorized use.
Someone else might accidentally start the machine and
cause injury to themselves or others.
