workbench.

using holes in planer base as a template for hole pattern.
 Drill four holes through workbench.
 Place planer on workbench aligning holes in the planer
base with holes drilled in the workbench.
 Insert four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with
lock washers and hex nuts (not included).
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the
workbench.
Supporting surface where planer is mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no move-
ment during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted,
secure workbench or support surface before beginning
planing operation.
