Portable Applications
To mount the planer to a 3/4" piece of plywood, use 4, 1/4"
bolt holes or the 4 drywall screw holes. The mounting
board can then be clamped down to prevent it from tipping.
Work Bench Applications
Mount as specified in portable applications. Check for
workpiece clearances to front and rear of planer.

Basic Thickness Planer Operations
Before You Begin
1. Locate the planer where it is intended to be used. Take
into consideration the length of wood you would nor-
mally plane allowing ample room for infeed and out-
feed operations.
CAUTION: Before turning switch on make sure the
dust chute is correctly installed. The ON-OFF
switch has a locking feature. This feature is
intended to prevent unauthorized use by children
and others.
2. Locate the yellow On-OFF switch key from parts bag.
Insert into the switch.
3. To turn planer on, stand to either side of the planer,
never in line with the opening. Insert finger under the
switch and lift key up.
4. To turn planer off push key down. Never leave the
planer until the cutting head has come to a complete
stop.
5. To lock switch in "OFF" position simply remove the key
when in the off position. Always lock the switch "OFF"
when planer is not in use. Remove key and keep it in a
safe place. Also, in the event of power failure (all of
your lights go out) turn switch off, lock it by removing
the key. This will prevent the planer from starting up
again when the power comes back on.
6. Refer to "Thermal Overload Protection" section for
proper use.
