GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM

ELECTRIC SHOCK

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if t h e g r o u n d i n g i n s t r u c t i o n s a r e n o t c o m p l e t e l y understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in

Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE

RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PRO-

PERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT

SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.

MACHINE USE

RECOMMENDED DEPTH OF CUT

NOTE: One revolution of the cutterhead adjusting handle will move the cutterhead up or down 1/16".

You can make an 1/8" depth of cut in soft woods up to 6" wide and in hard woods up to 4" wide. (See Fig. 23).

For 10", 12", and 13" wide soft wood, use a maximum depthof-cut of 1/16". For 10", 12", and 13" wide hard wood, use a maximum depth-of-cut of 3/64" (Fig. 23).

IMPORTANT: A shallow depth-of-cut will produce a better finish.

Continuous operation at more than 3/64" can cause motor damage.

OPERATING HINTS

When using your machine, follow these few simple steps to achieve the best results.

1. True Up One Face – Feed one face of the board through a jointer. Make thin cuts with each pass until the entire surface is flat.

2. Plane to Thickness – Place the surfaced side (STEP 1) face down and feed the board through a planer until the opposite side is flat. Plane both sides of the board until you achieve your desired thickness. Make thin cuts, alternating sides with each pass. If, during the planing operation, you notice the board twisting, warping or bowing, start again with STEP 1.

3. Support both ends of the long workpieces.

4. For best results, engage the cutterhead lock before planing. Plane with the grain only. Keep the planer table clean.

Occasionally, wax the table surface to reduce friction during the planing operation.

5. Cross-cut your lumber to the final length.

The knives on the planer will not wear evenly if the wood is fed through the same spot on the table every time. Feed the wood through the planer at different spots on the table when possible to help eliminate uneven wear of the knives.

BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE!

Brush life varies. It depends on the load on the motor. Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new machine or after a new set of brushes has been installed. After the first check, examine them after about every 10 hours of use until replacement is necessary.

The brush holders, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 34, are located on the motor housing opposite each other. One of the removed brushes is illustrated in Fig. 35. When the carbon (B) on either brush is worn to 3/16" in length or if either spring (C) or shunt wire is burned or damaged, replace both brushes. If the brushes are found serviceable after removing, reinstall them.
