INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
Dust Collection Hood
The dust collection hood (Fig. 6b) comes
standard with the planer, and helps
maintain a clean and safe work area.
It is assembled to the planer with
the screws and washers as shown.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING
Electrical connections must be made by
a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant
codes. The machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.
A power plug is not provided with the planer. You may either
connect one or "hard-wire" the machine directly to your
electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near the
machine. Consult the wiring diagrams for further clarification
of wiring setup.
This machine must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of
least resistance to help divert current away from the operator
in case of electrical malfunction.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the
specifications on the motor plate of the machine.

ADJUSTMENTS

Belt and Pulleys
1. Using a straight
edge, align
the motor pulley
(A, Fig. 8 ) and
cutterhead pulley
(B, Fig. 8).
The motor plate
can be moved for
alignment by
loosening the set
screws (C, Fig. 9)
in the motor plate.

Extension Cords

The use of an extension cord is not recommended for this
machine, but if one is necessary make sure the cord rating is
suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate.
An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
The chart in Figure 7 shows the correct size cord to use based
on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the
heavier the cord.
