reduce. the. risk. of. these. hazards,. operator. and. bystanders. MUST. completely. heed. hazards. and.
warnings.below.
KICKBACK. Know how to reduce the risk of kickback and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback”
occurs during the operation when the workpiece is ejected from the machine at a high
rate of speed. Kickback is commonly caused
by poor workpiece selection, unsafe feeding techniques, or improper machine setup/
maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur
as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck
by the workpiece, resulting in impact injuries
(i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises, death);
(2) operator’s hands are pulled into blade,
resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.
AVOID.MOVING.PARTS. Never remove guards/
covers or reach inside the machine during
operation or while connected to power. You
could be seriously injured if you accidentally
touch the spinning cutterhead or get entangled in moving parts. If a workpiece becomes
stuck or sawdust removal is necessary, turn
machine OFF and disconnect power before
clearing.
CUTTING.LIMITATIONS. To reduce risk of kickback hazards or damage to machine, do not
exceed maximum depth of cut or minimum
board length and thickness found in Data
Sheet. Only feed one board at a time.
INFEED.ROLLER.CLEARANCE. The infeed roller
is designed to pull material into the spinning
cutterhead. To reduce the risk of entanglement, keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long
hair away from the infeed roller during operation.
FEED.WORKPIECE.PROPERLY. To reduce the risk
of kickback, never start machine with workpiece touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead
to reach full speed before feeding, and do not
change feed speed during cutting operation.
WORKPIECE.SUPPORT. To reduce risk of kickback, always make sure workpiece can move
completely across table without rocking or
tipping. Use auxiliary support stands for long
stock. Verify workpiece has enough room to
exit machine before starting.
DULL/DAMAGED.KNIVES. Only use sharp,
undamaged knives. Dull or damaged knivesincrease the risk of kickback.
GRAIN.DIRECTION. Planing across the grain is
hard on the machine and may cause kickback.
Plane in the same direction or at a slight angle
with the wood grain.
PLANING.CORRECT.MATERIAL. Only plane natural wood stock. DO NOT plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other synthetic materials
that can break up inside the machine and be
ejected towards the operator.
LOOKING.INSIDE.MACHINE. Wood chips fly
around inside machine at a high rate of speed
during operation. To reduce risk of injury from
flying material, DO NOT look inside machine
during operation.
SECURE.KNIVES. Loose knives can become dangerous projectiles or cause machine damage.
Always verify knives are secure and properly
adjusted before operation.
INSPECTING.STOCK. To reduce the risk of kickback injuries or machine damage, thoroughly
inspect and prepare the workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples,
loose knots or foreign material. Workpieces
with minor warping should be jointed first or
planed with the cupped side facing the infeed
table.
BODY.PLACEMENT. Stand to one side of
machine during the entire operation to avoid
getting hit if kickback occurs.

Grounding Requirements
ELECTRICAL
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in
order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will
increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipmentgrounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.

Cleaning Machine
To prevent corrosion during shipment and storage of your
machine, the factory has coated the bare metal surfaces
of your machine with a heavy-duty rust prevention
compound.
If you are unprepared or impatient, this compound can
be difficult to remove. To ensure that the removal of this
coating is as easy as possible, please gather the correct
cleaner, lubricant, and tools listed below:
•
•
•
•
Cleaner/degreaser designed to remove storage wax
and grease
Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Solvent brush or paint brush
Disposable Rags
SETUP
To.remove.rust.preventative.coating,.do.these.steps:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
3.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of
cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.
4.
Wipe off surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is
effective, the coating will wipe off easily.
Tip: An easier way to clean off thick coats of rust
preventative from flat surfaces is to use a PLASTIC
paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the
coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do
not use a metal scraper or you may scratch your
machine.)
5.
Repeat cleaning steps as necessary until all of the
compound is removed.
6.
To prevent rust on freshly cleaned surfaces,
immediately coat with a quality metal protectant.

OPERATIONS
General
This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing any
operation, stop using the machine!
To. reduce. your. risk. of. serious. injury.
or. damage. to. the. machine,. read. this.
entire.manual.BEFORE.using.machine.
The overview below provides the novice machine operator
with a basic understanding of how the machine is used
during operation, so the machine controls/components
discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to its generic nature, this overview is NOT intended
to be an instructional guide.
OPERATIONS
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the
following:
1.
Examines workpiece to make sure it is suitable for
planing.
2.
Puts on safety glasses or face shield, a respirator,
and ear protection.
3.
Places workpiece on table with flat side down
and correctly adjusts table height for workpiece
thickness and depth of cut.
— If workpiece is bowed, operator surface planes
workpiece on a jointer until one side is flat. Doing
so ensures that it sits solidly on planer table
during operation.
4.
When all safety precautions have been taken, turns
machine ON.
5.
Stands to one side of machine path to reduce risk of
kickback injuries, then feeds workpiece into machine
until infeed roller grabs it.

Note: Infeed and outfeed rollers
control feed rate of workpiece as it
passes through machine. Operator
does not push or pull on workpiece.
— If cut is too deep and bogs down
machine, operator immediately
reduces depth of cut.
6.
Once workpiece is clear of outfeed
roller and stops moving, operator
removes workpiece from outfeed table
and measures workpiece thickness.
If further planing or moulding is
required, operator raises table slightly
(approximately 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 turn of the
handwheel), then feeds workpiece
into front of machine again.
7.
Operator repeats this process until
desired thickness is achieved, then
turns machine OFF.
Model W1842 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17)
Workpiece Inspection
Wood Types
The species of wood, as well as its condition,
greatly affects the depth of cut the planer can
effectively take with each pass.
Some workpieces are not safe to use or may
require modification before they are. Before
cutting, inspect all workpieces for the
following:
•
•
The chart in the figure below shows the Janka
Hardness Rating for a number of commonly used
species. The larger the number, the harder
the workpiece, and the less material should be
removed in any one pass for good results.
Material Type: This machine is only
intended for workpieces of natural wood
fiber. Attempting to use workpieces of any
other material that may break apart during
operation could lead to serious personal
injury and property damage.
Note: The Janka Hardness Rating is expressed
in pounds of force required to embed a 0.444"
steel ball into the surface of the wood to a
depth equal to half the ball's diameter.
Foreign Objects: Inspect lumber for
defects and foreign objects (nails, staples,
imbedded gravel, etc,). If you have any
question about the quality of your lumber,
DO NOT use it. Remember, wood stacked on
a concrete floor can have small pieces of
stone or concrete pressed into the surface.
Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can
become dislodged during operation. Large
knots can cause kickback and machine
damage. Always use workpieces that do not
have large/loose knots.
•
Wet or "Green" Stock: Avoid using wood
with a high water content. Wood with more
than 20% moisture content or wood exposed
to excessive moisture (such as rain or
snow), will cut poorly and cause excessive
wear to the machine. Excess moisture
can also hasten rust and corrosion of the
machine and/or individual components.
•
Excessive Warping: Workpieces with
excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are
dangerous to cut because they are unstable
and often unpredictable when being
cut. DO NOT use workpieces with these
characteristics!
•
Minor Cupping: Workpieces with slight
cupping can be safely supported if the
cupped side is facing the table. On the
contrary, a workpiece supported on the
bowed side will rock during operation and
could cause severe injury from kickback.

Planing Tips
•
Inspect your lumber for twisting or cupping,
and surface one face on a jointer if
necessary before planing workpiece.
•
Scrape off all glue when planing glued-up
panels. Dried glue can quickly dull knives.
•
DO NOT plane more than one piece at a
time.
OPERATIONS
•
Support the workpiece on both ends. Get
assistance from another person if you are
planing long lumber, or use roller stands to
support the workpiece.
•
Measure the workpiece thickness with
calipers to get exact results.
•
Carefully inspect all stock to make sure it is
free of large knots or foreign objects that
may damage your knives, cause kickback,
or be ejected from the planer.
•
When possible, plane equal amounts on
each side of the board to reduce the
chance of twisting or cupping.
Chipped Grain
Problem: Usually a result of cutting against the
grain, planing lumber with knots or excessive
amount of cross grain, or using dull knives.
Note: Some amount of chipping is normal with
highly figured wood.
Solution: Decrease the depth of cut. Reduce the
feed rate. Inspect your lumber and determine if
its grain pattern is causing the problem. If the
lumber does not show substantial crossgrain,
inspect your knives.
Fuzzy Grain
Problem: Usually caused by surfacing lumber
with too high of a moisture content. Sometimes
fuzzy grain is an unavoidable characteristic of
some woods, such as basswood. Fuzzy grain can
also be caused by dull knives.
Solution: Check the lumber with a moisture
meter. If moisture is greater than 20%, sticker
the lumber and allow it to dry. Otherwise,
inspect the knife condition.
Use the entire width of the planer to wear
knives evenly. With narrow workpieces,
alternate between far left, far right, and
the middle of the table. Your knives will
remain sharp much longer.
•
To avoid "chip marks," always plane WITH
the grain direction of the wood. Never
plain cross-grain or end-grain.
•
Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. Do not
plane wood composites or other materials
that could break up in the planer and cause
operator injury or damage to planer.
•
Below is a list of wood characteristics you
may encounter when planing. The following
descriptions of defects will give you some
possible answers to problems you may encounter
while planing different materials. Possible
solutions follow the descriptions.
Never remove more than the recommended
amount of material on each pass. Only
remove a small amount of material on each
pass when planing wide or dense stock.
•
•
Cutting Problems
Snipe
Problem: Occurs when board ends have more
material removed than the rest of the board.
Usually caused when the workpiece is not
properly supported as it goes through the
machine. In many cases, however, a small
amount of snipe is inevitable.
Solution: Hold workpiece up slightly as it leaves
the outfeed end of the planer. The best way to
deal with snipe is by planing lumber longer than
your intended work length and then cutting off
the excess after planing is completed.
Always true cupped or warped stock on a
jointer before planing.
-24-
Model W1842 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17)
Chip Marks or Indentations
Rippled Cut
Problem: Chip indentation or chip bruising is
the result of wood chips not being thrown away
from the cutterhead and out of the machine.
Instead they are carried around the cutterhead,
deposited on the planed surface and crushed by
the outfeed roller. Some of the causes of chip
indentation are:
Problem: Regularly spaced indentations across
face of workpiece are caused by excessive
outfeed roller pressure or excessive feed rate.
•
Pitch & Glue Build-up
Solution: Reduce outfeed roller pressure
(refer to Page 52); reduce feed rate (refer to
Page 27).
Wood chips/sawdust not being properly
expelled from the cutterhead.
•
The type of lumber being planed. Certain
species have a tendency to chip bruise.
•
A high moisture content (over 20%) or
surface moisture (refer to Page 23).
•
Dull knives.
•
Excessive depth of cut.
Problem: Glue and resin buildup on the rollers
and cutterhead will cause overheating by
decreasing cutting sharpness while increasing
drag in the feed mechanism. The result can
include scorched lumber, uneven knife marks,
and chatter.
Solution: Clean the feed rollers and cutterhead
(refer to Page 52).
Solution:
Use a proper dust-collection system; adjust
chip deflector in or out as necessary (refer
to Page 54).
•
Lumber must be completely dry, preferably
kiln-dried (KD). Air-dried (AD) lumber must
be seasoned properly and have no surface
moisture. DO NOT surface partially airdried (PAD) lumber.
•
Make sure knives are sharp.
•
Reduce depth of cut.

Material Thickness Range............................... 3⁄8"–6"
Table
Height
Handwheel
The depth of cut on a planer means the amount of
material that is removed from the top of the workpiece as
it passes underneath the cutterhead.
The depth of cut is set by adjusting the distance of the
table below the cutterhead. This distance is the thickness
of the workpiece minus the depth of cut. The planing
depth of cut is controlled by using the table height
handwheel (see Figure 19). Rotating the handwheel
clockwise raises the table.
OPERATIONS
Although the correct depth of cut varies according to
wood hardness and workpiece width, we recommend the
maximum depth of cut (per pass) be no more than 1⁄16".
A series of light cuts will give better end results and put
less stress on the planer than trying to take off too much
material in a single pass.
The depth of cut can be referenced directly from the
table height scale on the right side of the machine, as
shown in Figure 19.
Note: The scale functions as a general guide only, and is
not intended for low-tolerance, precision results.

Setting Feed Rate
The power feed has a two-speed gearbox that uses a
31/46T gear combination (see Figure 20) to plane at 24
FPM and a 20/57T gear combination to feed the workpiece
at 12 FPM when planing or moulding.
Typically, low feed rates are used for dimensioning passes,
while higher feed rates are used for finishing passes.
Only change the feed rate when the
planer is running. DO NOT attempt to
change the feed rate during any cutting
operations or damage to the gearbox
will result.

Planing Do's & Don'ts
There are common mistakes that must be avoided when
planing.
CORRECT
Multiple Boards
Only plane one board at a time (see Figure 23). Whether
you use guide rails or not, never attempt to plane more
than one board at a time side-by-side. If one board is
slightly lower that the other, the feed roller will only
hold the highest board, while the lower board will be
free to slip when the knife contacts it. This hazardous
situation can result in one board being ejected from the
machine, causing serious injury.
INCORRECT
OPERATIONS
Figure 23. Example of planing one board
at a time.
Sacrificial Table Use
If using a sacrificial table, you must clamp it to the cast
iron table (see Figure 24) to prevent workpiece ejection.
Never stack two boards on top of one another and feed
them both into the planer/moulder to compensate for a
workpiece that may be too thin. Planing with two loose
stacked boards can result in workpiece ejection, causing
injury.
CORRECT
INCORRECT

Planing Operation
Thickness planing sizes material and creates a smooth
surface parallel with the opposite side of the board. It
does not remove twisting, warping, or cupping. If these
conditions exist, joint the workpiece before using the
planer.
To perform thickness planing operations, do these step:
AVOIDING KICKBACK!
• Always stand to one side of
machine—rather than behind
workpiece.
1.
Review Workpiece Inspection list on Page 23
and Planing Do's & Don'ts on Page 28, and take
appropriate safety measures.
• Always wear safety glasses or face
shield and ear protection.
2.
Raise work table to the height of thickest part of
board.
• DO NOT plane more than one piece
at a time.
3.

Adjusting/Replacing
Planer Knives
Knife Height Setting (Using Included jig)...........0.040"
Setting the height of the planer knives correctly is crucial
to proper operation and is very important in keeping
the knives sharp. If one knife protrudes higher than the
others, it will do the majority of the work, dull much
faster, and produce poor cutting results.
The planer knives are supported by jack screws (see
Figure 25) in the cutterhead and held in place by wedgetype gibs. Rotating the jack screws to raise or lower them
determines the knife height. The knife height setting is
then secured by tightening the gib set screws.
The knife-setting jig that is included with the Model
W1842 is designed to set the knives 0.040" higher than the
cutterhead surface (see Figure 25).
OPERATIONS
Note: If you need to replace or sharpen a knife, you can
remove the knife from the cutterhead during Step 4 of
the following procedure. Thoroughly clean out any debris
from the knife slots before replacing the knives.
Replacement planer knives are available through our
catalog and website (refer to Page 41 for options).

To reduce risk of shock or accidental
startup, always disconnect machine
from power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Cutterhead knives are extremely
sharp. Accidental contact with knives
can result in severe cuts. Take great
caution whenever working with or
around cutterhead knives. Wear heavy
leather gloves to reduce risk of severe
cuts.
To maintain accurate and consistent
planing results, we do not recommend
sharpening knives yourself. Instead,
just replace dull knives or have them
professionally sharpened.

Moulding Operation
Max. Profile Depth Moulding..............................3⁄4"
Max. Profile Width Moulding........................... 49⁄16"
The maximum depth of a moulding cut in soft wood is
3
⁄4". For hard or knotty wood, the maximum depth of cut
must be less, and the feed rate may have to be reduced.
If both of these options are not enough, then a table
saw can be used to rabbet out some of the material the
knives would have had to remove. See Figure 37 on Page
39 for an example of this.
To perform moulding operations, do these steps:
OPERATIONS
1.
Plane stock to within ⁄16" of final thickness. Cut
width to within 1⁄8" of final profile if both edges are
trimmed by knives. Cut to final width if only face is
profiled.

2.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
3.
Review Workpiece Inspection (refer to Page 23) and
Moulding Do's & Dont's on Page 38.
4.
Align fence rails with edges of profile knives.
5.
Put on safety glasses or face shield, a respirator, and
ear protection.
6.
Turn planer/moulder ON. Stand to side and feed a
test piece into planer/moulder.
7.
Raise table until test piece feeds smoothly into
planer/moulder.
8.
Support infeed end of board until half of board has
been fed into planer/moulder, then walk around to
outfeed side and support other end of board.
9.
Run all moulding through planer/moulder at this
table height.
Removing more than 1⁄8" off overall
profile of moulding can break knives,
resulting in serious damage or injury.
AVOIDING KICKBACK!
• Always stand to one side of the
machine—rather than directly
behind the workpiece.
• Always check and reset outfeed
roller height after changing knives.
• Always cut mouldings WITH the
grain direction. Never cut across
the grain or on the end-grain.
• Use roller stands to support long
workpieces.
10. Raise table and run all moulding through planer/
moulder again. You should be able to cut profile in
2-3 passes depending on type of wood and profile of
cutter.
-36-
• Carefully inspect all stock to make
sure it is free of large knots and
foreign objects.

Moulding Do's & Don'ts
The Model W1842 will accommodate most moulding knife
profiles. However, you must still pay special attention to
workpiece support and knife-to-table clearance. Refer to
the following examples to avoid common workpiece setup
mistakes.
Moulding knives have many different profiles. Before
starting the machine, always verify that the moulding
knives do not contact any part of the workpiece guide
rails, feed roller swing arm, or the table surface.
Failure to verify knife clearance may result in severe
injury and machine damage!
Sacrificial Table
CORRECT
End View
CORRECT
Edge-Forming Knife Clearance
OPERATIONS
A wooden sacrificial table clamped to the cast-iron
table and a three-piece guide system (see Figure 35)
can prevent tool and table damage by absorbing the full
sweep of the knife.
Never attempt to use edge-forming profile knives without
pre-installing a wooden sacrificial table or bedboard (refer
to Bedboard on Page 33 for further detail). Often these
types of knives sweep lower than the workpiece and could
contact the table at the bottom, as shown in Figure 35,
causing severe machine damage or personal injury.

Crown Moulding Support
When cutting crown moulding (see Figure 36), make a
wooden V-track that can be clamped to the table. The
V-track must support at least 50% of the workpiece height
on both sides.
CORRECT
V-Track
DO NOT use the guide rails that came with your machine
for crown moulding support. If you do, the workpiece can
dislodge and be ejected from the machine, causing severe
injury or damage.
INCORRECT
Figure 36. Example of crown moulding
V-Track.
Make sure to cut your workpiece to the correct width for
the knife being used (see Figure 37). To improve knife life
and workpiece results when cutting in very hard woods,
use a table saw to rabbet out some of the profile before
running the workpiece through the planer/moulder.
CORRECT
Never cut into moulding that is wider than the knife.
Otherwise, the knife will overheat, burn the wood, and
dull rapidly.
INCORRECT

-39-
OPERATIONS
Appropriate Workpiece Size
Model W1842 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17)
Always Use Guide Rails When Moulding
Always use the guide rails (see Figure 38), so the
moulding profile can be cut with maximum safety and
without wander, twisting, or profile misalignment.
Guide Rail
CORRECT
DO NOT attempt to cut moulding without using the guide
rails. Otherwise, the workpiece could shift and be ejected
from the machine, or the moulding pattern could be
inconsistent from one strip of molding to another.
INCORRECT
Figure 38. Example of using guide rails.
OPERATIONS
Edge Moulding Tall Workpieces
When cutting edge profiles on workpieces that are taller
than they are wide, you must clamp wooden extension
rails to the table so they support at least 75% of the
workpiece height on both sides (see Figure 39).
Never attempt to use the low-profile metal guide rails
that came with this machine if they do not adequately
support tall workpieces. If the workpiece slips out of the
rails because they are too low, the workpiece can be
ejected from the machine, causing severe injury.

Feed Roller Pressure
To be effective, the infeed and outfeed rollers must put
pressure on the workpiece as it feeds through the planer/
moulder. Too little pressure and the boards will not feed
into the machine, too much pressure can overload the
motor.
Spring
Pressure
Adjustment
Nuts
Experiment with the best pressure settings for your work
situations. Some lumber will feed through with relatively
few problems, while other lumber will have more
difficulty.
Adjusting roller pressure does not affect the height of the
feed roller.
To adjust roller pressure, do these steps:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Ensure that knives and feed rollers are set correctly.
3.
Make sure that spring pressure adjustment nuts
shown in Figure 53 are all an equal height from top
of screw.

Calibrating Table Height
Scale
The table height scale, located below the handwheel, can
be adjusted for accuracy. However, material must be run
through the machine to adjust the scale. Make certain
you have followed the directions in Operations for test
running before attempting to make these adjustments.
Tool Needed:
Phillips Head Screwdriver #2...................................1
To adjust table height scale, do these steps:
1.
Select a pre-planed piece of lumber to use for test.
Measure lumber with calipers and make a note of its
exact thickness.
2.
Move cutterhead to 1⁄16" under thickness of your
lumber and feed your test board through planer.
3.
Turn handwheel 1⁄2 rotation and run board through
once more. Turn board over and repeat.
4.
Measure board again and compare your results
with the scale. If there is a discrepancy, loosen
scale pointer screw shown in Figure 54 and correct
position of pointer.
Figure 54. Location of scale pointer screw.
Anti-Kickback Fingers
The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety feature
of your moulder/planer. The fingers hang from a rod
suspended across the head casting and in front of the
infeed roller, as shown in Figure 55. This design allows
the workpiece to easily enter the machine but reduces
the risk of kickback by digging into the workpiece if it
moves backward.
Anti-Kickback Fingers
Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-kickback
fingers that will attract dust and restrict free movement
of the fingers.
Figure 55. Anti-kickback fingers.
-53-
SERVICE
Check the anti-kickback fingers regularly to ensure they
swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing freely
and easily, first clean them with a wood-resin solvent,
then inspect them for damage. If any of the fingers are
damaged, the device must be replaced before using the
machine.
Proper operation of anti-kickback
fingers is critical for safe operation of
this machine. DO NOT operate planer if
anti-kickback fingers are not operating
correctly. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
